<TITLE>19. Par 71-75</TITLE>L-71 Now, when that was done, Jesus looked over the audience. Listen close now. Jesus looked over His audience, maybe like standing here, maybe greater, maybe not as many. But He looked over the audience until He found the woman, and told her about her blood issue, and said it had stopped. Her faith had saved her. Is that right?
Well now, if He's that same High Priest, the same High Priest, and you setting out there will not be in this prayer line, could you not touch Him with your faith? Would He not act the same if He's the same High Priest? Does that sound logical? Raise up your hands, everybody in the building. See, I'm getting you to... getting the favor of God if I can to let you see that it's truth, see how you're responding to it. See? It would be the same.

L-72 Now, you out there say, "Brother Branham doesn't know one thing about me. He's a total stranger to me. He doesn't know me. But Lord, You know what's wrong with me. So if You'll just have him... I want to touch You, Jesus. Can I have--have my healing tonight?" And then say, "Speak through Brother Branham and let him turn and tell me." Then see if He does it.
Wouldn't that be wonderful? Wouldn't that be... That would make Christianity the same... Many great gods of Buddha, and--and all the Sikhs, and Jains, and so forth of the different religions. And every one of their founders are dead and in the grave, but we have an empty tomb. Christianity, our Lord is risen from the dead. And He's right with us, living in us, showing Himself by infallible proofs that He is the Resurrection and Life. He's risen from the dead.

L-73 Now, the next will have to be God. This is as far as I can go. Anyone knows that. The next will have to be God. Now, you don't... Just stand right there, lady, it'd be all right now.
Now, here stands a lady that's a--a stranger to me. By the way, I'd like to ask this. How many in here are strangers to me, that you know that I know nothing about you? Raise up your hand. Know that... just rai... In the prayer line, each one of you in the prayer line, if you all are strangers...? All right, every one of you.
Now, I--I'm a stranger with you. I have two or three friends here, that's up here on the vacation with me: a minister setting here in the corner, from down in--in Alabama. And I've got Brother Sothmann, he's a Canadian. And Brother Tom, setting back over in this corner here, over in... There they are, right over here in the corner. So I know them.

L-74 Now, just real reverent and everybody in prayer now. Now, this is a picture something like I was speaking a few moments ago, of Saint John the 4th chapter. Our Lord met a woman of Samaria, Samaritan woman at the well. Are you acquainted with the story?
Now, He was a man, she a woman. And they were standing perhaps, like we are now. And the--the well is kind of a panoramic. And--and He went to talking to her until He found what her trouble was. Say, you step up here if you can, if you don't mind, just here. So it won't be so strenuous to you.
So He talked to--to the woman and said... He was trying to contact her spirit, of course, when He said, "Bring Me a drink," He was contacting her.

L-75 Now, be real reverent. Don't move around. See, each one of you is a spirit, you know that. If you're not, you're dead. So then... is your spirit. And everywhere your spirit's now comes in contact with the Holy Spirit, just real sensitive. And It's real timid. It'll just leave. See? So now just--just--be just as reverent and quiet as you can now.
Now, you realize, you Christians, what I'm up against? Here's a woman that I've never seen in my life. And I... We're strangers to each other. Now, so that you'll know and be sure, look, I hold my hands... I've never seen her in my life. Would you just raise up your hands so they'd see? Just raise your hands so that people will see that we are strangers.
