<TITLE>21. Par 85-88</TITLE>L-85 With your heads bowed and every eye closed, I'd like to ask you a serious question. If you're not right with God, if there's something in you won't let you believe this Bible to be the inspired Word of God, you could not believe that you could live according to Its rules, would you do so much as raise your hands, and say, "God, be merciful. I want you to pray for me, Brother Branham, that I will be that kind of a Christian." Are you here? Raise your hands. I... Thank you, young lady. Thank you. God bless you. All right. There's one person in the building that thinks that, two of them that thinks that.
I--I'm not one of these persons to persuade, if the Word can't move it. You can only do it as you're predestinated to believe it. You remember, although Jesus done so many miracles, the Pharisees couldn't believe it. They couldn't get it in their head, because they wasn't to be that way. And if your heart is so hard that you know right there that that Word of God's not working itself through you, and then you won't raise your hands to God to ask for mercy, what are you going to do on the day of judgment? All right.

L-86 Would there be somebody sick that would like to be remembered? Raise your hand. Three or four, five, six, seven, eight, about ten of them.
All right. Let's bow our heads. Don't you doubt. You, my little sister back there that raised your hand, "Remember me," God bless you, sister, bless your tender heart. And may the Word of God take roots in your little heart tonight, and you become a missionary to Christ.
This man that raised his hands a little later here: Brother, your hair is gray. But remember Abraham was seventy-five years old before God ever spoke to him. May God plant His roots of Word in your heart tonight. And when the great rain is falling, may it not bring forth just a creed; may it bring forth Christ manifested in you.

L-87 Each one of you that raised your hand for healing, the Bible said, "The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and God shall raise them up." If the seed is laying in your heart, I'm going to pray that the Holy Spirit will water that seed right now. Something will happen.
God is no respect of person. If He will save one, He will save the other one that'll believe it. If He'll heal one, He'll heal the other one. But you've got to believe it. If you believe it, I'm going to pray for you now.

L-88 Our heavenly Father, I'm holding my hand over some handkerchiefs laying here. Somebody's perhaps got a loved one somewhere that's sick and afflicted, something wrong with them, maybe a mother somewhere with a little sick baby; maybe an old blind daddy, setting back in some little cabin out here somewhere in Georgia; maybe a one in a hospital somewhere. Thou knowest all about these things. Lord, we know this one thing, that Thou art the Christ Who has already purchased their healing. I'm sending Your Word in a way of prayer, Lord. You sent Your Word.
The woman come to You, said, "Lord, be merciful to me, Thou Son of David." And You were no Son of David to her; she was a Gentile.
You said, "It's not meet for me to take the children's bread and give it to your dogs."
She said, "That's truth, Lord. But the dogs will take the scraps under the master's table."
You said, "For this saying your daughter will live." And we find out that when You got home--or, when she got home, Your Word had already got there, healed the girl.
