<TITLE>22. Par 103-107</TITLE>L-103 So Martha, when she come up... And she fell down at His feet, and she said, "Lord," Lord, that's what He was, "if You'd have been here my brother would not died," See? Said, "But even now, whatever You ask God, God will do it." Oh, there you are. There you are. "No matter what you've done, your attitude, you're following what God said do. Whether you said this or that, or whether you did come, or didn't come, whatever you ask God, God will give it to you."
He said, "Thy brother shall rise again."
Said, "Yea, Lord, he will rise in the last days. He will rise... He's a good man, he will--he will rise in the general resurrection."
He said, "I am the Resurrection and Life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." Nobody could say that but Him. "He that liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
She said, "Yea, Lord: I believe that You are the Son of God, that was to come into the world." There you are.

L-104 What is it? She's acting. She wants to see a miracle, so she's finding out what the Word says. "I believe the Word. It's standing there in the form of the Son of God. His Words is not His. 'Not Me that speaketh, but the Father that dwelleth in Me.' Whatever comes from them little lips of Yours that speaks, I'll believe it's the commission of God. (Oh, my, my.) You are the Messiah." What is Messiah? The anointed One. "You are God's anointed One."

L-105 God had an anointed one in a lesser measure one day, and his name was Elijah. And there Elisha... And the woman had a baby that died. And she went up to this servant of God, and she said, "Thou man of God." She recognized him. And that anointed one of God come and walked through the floor (Oh, my.), laid his body upon that little dead baby, and it sneezed seven times and come to life.
And if God did that by His anointed prophet, how much more will He do by Immanuel? "I believe that You are the Son of God." If you ever get anything from God, you've got to believe God's servant, God's Word. See? And He was the Word. "I believe. Just tell me what to do."
"Where have you laid him?" Down He went to the grave, weeping like a man. When He got down there, what did He say now do when you get here? See, you got something to do too, you know. Said, "Take ye away the stone, if you want to see a miracle."

L-106 You sick people tonight, if you want to see a miracle, take away the stone. Take away that stone, that sin that lays at the door. What is it? Say, "Brother Branham, I don't do nothing." But if you don't believe it, it can't happen. Take away that stone of unbelief and watch what happens. Just take away the stone. And when she obeyed the Word of the Lord, she saw a miracle. Sure.

L-107 The woman at the well, she was kind of under... She didn't know what to say. She seen this Jew setting there. "Now, it's funny that that Jew would talk to me. I'm a woman of Samaria. Wonder what His cause is?" She said, "Well, you say... you Jews say, 'Worship at Jerusalem.' Our fathers worshipped in this mountain." He said, "Woman, I'm telling you now that neither in Jerusalem, or neither in this mountain. But God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship in the Spirit and Truth."
She knew that sounded right. If God is God of one, He's God of all, all His creation. Yes, sir. And so she looked, you know. Race and tribe and color had nothing to do. God made them all. God of one man made all nations out of Adam. There we find out that the--the color of the skin and the--their tradition, or their church membership had nothing to do with it. It's an honest heart He's looking for.
So He looked down there... And she seen again, she said... Then first thing you know, He contacted her and found out where her trouble was. She'd been living with the wrong man, and He said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "I don't have any husband."
He said, "That's right. You've had five, and the one you're living with now is not your husband."
