<TITLE>21. Par 80-82</TITLE>L-80 Now, heavenly Father, that's as far as I can go, Lord. I can only say what the Word says. It takes You to perform the Word. Here's Your servants, the ministers, godly men. Here's godly women, servants, setting everywhere, sick and afflicted. If You were standing here with this suit on that You gave me, You could do no more for them. If they come up and said, "Lord, will You heal me?" Why, You'd say, "My child, I did that nineteen hundred years ago when I was striped for your healing. Believest thou this?" They'd say, "Yea, Lord, but how do I know it's You?" Then You'd show that You was the Christ. You could show them, do something that--that would prove to them that You was the Christ; not with nail scars in Your hands, because anyone could impersonate that. But the supernatural is to go down into that person's life and know what they're doing and what they're here for. Then we know it's Your Spirit: You, great Vine, moving in Your branches. Let it be so tonight again, Lord. Honor Your Word. Forgive us of our sin as we have forgive those who have sinned against us. Give us sweetness of spirit and may the Holy Spirit now come right quickly and confirm the Word, that every person in here might know that the Son of God is not dead but is risen from the dead and is alive after nineteen hundred years, and alive forevermore, through Jesus Christ's Name, I ask it. Amen. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-81 Now, just keep your attention. Just pray and... All right. Is a... That's the man? All right. Now, I want you each one, everybody be alert. Be alert. And be praying, saying, "Lord, I'm suffering with such-and-such. Let Brother Branham just turn to me. I know he don't know me, don't know what's wrong with me; but if You'll just speak to him, I know I've touched You. Now, you could touch me all night and be like touching that desk; there'd be nothing to it. See? But you just touch Him, one time, see what happens. See? Your faith touched him.
Now, here's a man that happens to be... If I can get somebody up here before me first. You see? 'Cause after speaking, and so forth, a--then I...
I--I talk to him, just like the--Jesus did the woman at the well, till He found what her trouble was and then told her, and she said, "Why, that was right." Then see, now that's the way it... with this man.
Now, we do not know one another, do we, sir, you and I? I just want you to move right over here, so I get you... just so I can... not look at that prayer line. Then looking this way, they're... sometimes spirit leaves and some of you here...?... high faith it goes to them.

L-82 I'd like to talk to you first. Now, we are two different people, two men that's met for our first time in life. That is true, isn't it? All right. Now, if there's some... I have no idea what's wrong. I--I know not. Then if I--if I could help you to be well... Or you might have domestic trouble; you might have financial troubles; that you might be sick; you might have cancer; you might have tumor; you might have TB. I don't know. See? I have no idea. But if I could help you and then would not do it, I'd better leave the platform. I'd be a hypocrite; I wouldn't be worthy to stand back here. But if I--if Jesus was standing here, and you'd ask Him to help you, and you--that He--He would grant it to you.
Now, if you want to know it was Him... Any man could have nail scars in his hands and nai--prints on his forehead. But a spirit... See, because if He was standing here, the millennium would be on. He'll never come to earth again until He meets the church in the air. We're caught up with Him to meet Him in the air, then He returns with His church. So He could not be here on earth that way, only as His Spirit in His church.
