<TITLE>19. Par 80-83</TITLE>L-80 Prayer cards now, beginning with number 1, start standing right alongside of the altar like this here. Prayer card... Wait, till... I better call them one at a time, so there won't be no confusion. Prayer card number 1? If you will keep playing the song, sister... Who has prayer card number 1? Right here. Number 2? number 3? All right, 3? number 4, number 5, number 6, number 7. Just move right out, and come right out here, just stand right out in this way.
I love Him, (Just keep in the spirit of prayer now sweetly, quietly.)
Because He first loved me, ( 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.)
... purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
[Brother Branham begins humming--Ed.] Now, all of the rest of you that's got prayer cards.
... He first loved me,
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
Yes. Oh, isn't He wonderful?
... love Him, I love Him, (Do you hear that? It sounds like anthems of Angels.)
Because He first loved me,
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.
That sound pretty? [Brother Branham begins humming--Ed.]

L-81 Don't you hear the bells now ringing?
Don't you hear the angels singing?
'Tis the glory hallelujah Jubilee.
In that far-off sweet forever, (Bless God)
Just beyond the shining river,
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
Now, I just can't get away from that. I--I love that. I remember my son, Billy, when his mama died. A few hours, his little sister died. I put them both together up on the hill and buried them. Went up there, and sat down, there was an old turtledove used to set out there and coo. I honestly thought it might could be the immortal soul of them coming back, talking to me. I was so brokenhearted. And it seemed like coming down through those pines, there was a whispering, like.
There's a land beyond the river,
That they call the sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore by faith's (Isn't that right, friends? Hmm, my.)
One by one we'll gain the portals,
There to dwell with the immortals, (Won't it be grand when they do this?)
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.

L-82 Now, friends, on Divine healing, there is--there is no man that can heal you, no more than any man can save you; because both healing and salvation are past tense. When Jesus Christ died at Calvary, He was wounded for our transgressions, with His stripes we were healed. It is a finished work. Now, the only thing that you have to do to receive either your salvation or your healing, is to accept what Christ did for you.
As I said the other night, let's look at God just a moment, way back there in eternity, when His--when a hundred billion suns would look black to Him, when Angels looked dirty in His sight. That's Jehovah. And then, He become a little baby over a manure pile in a manger. That's still Jehovah. And here He is tonight. Through His grace and through His Blood He cleanses His church and puts us in position to receive all these blessings that He paid for for us.

L-83 Now, here stands a line of people. I never seen any of them in life, as I know of. Now, many of you has been in my meetings and know what discernment is. All of you know that, don't you? We know that. I've had it over, and over, and over, and over. That is a gift.
That doesn't make the Holy Spirit in me any greater than anybody else. That's just a gift to work with the Holy Spirit. See? No matter if it's a little housewife, or the little boy, or the drunkard out there that's just got saved and filled with the Holy Ghost, he's got the same Holy Spirit that any of us has got. Yes. But God gives gifts with this Holy Spirit to work. It's a confirmation to lift up an ensign. Who? The preacher? No. To lift up Christ.
