<TITLE>11. Par 48-51</TITLE>L-48 How many in the building just now... I started to make an altar call, but the Holy Spirit stopped me. That's a strange thing. Sure is. There's something else. He said, "You haven't give the Presence of My--My confirmation of My Presence yet."
How many people in here that does not have a prayer card? You do not have a prayer card, and you believe Jesus Christ, the Son of God, that's here now, is with us. Raise your hands, all of you. Just everywhere. Thank you. Just a moment. A little later...
You just pray and ask God, "Lord, I believe that the Scripture tells me... My pastor has read it to me and he's preached on it. I've heard others. And they tell me that You are a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmity. Now, they say You're the same yesterday, today, and forever. Lord, I am coming. I'm sick. I wasn't here to get a prayer card, and I'm going to touch You, Lord. And now, "if Brother Branham has told us the truth (He doesn't know me, or know nothing about me.) I want You to speak through his lips like You did through Christ's lips that day and... like He told the woman about her blood issue."

L-49 And you just touch Him. And now, I feel in myself It's a gift, and I feel... It's just like pulling into a gear.
And now, if you will believe Him and ask Him, God will grant it to you. And if He will do that by His grace tonight, we can go home and say, "Truly the Lord is risen," like those who came from Emmaus. "And I have a confirmation now, that He promised that the works that I do, shall ye do also," the very same kind of works that we spoke of last night. And He's the same yesterday, today and forever, and the Scriptures are confirmed.
"And we know assuredly that we're living in the day like Sodom and Gomorrah, for we see the evangelists in the world; and we are taught that the elect church is a pulled-out church, and separated from the world, or the things of the world. And I seen that same sign that He gave there, before the burning of Sodom, and it's a promise that He's going to burn the world pretty soon."
And then if God will do that, all you that's in Sodom flee as hard as you can. Come out to the church. "How is... What church?" The new born babes in Christ. There's only one church. And you don't join it; you're borned into it. And it--it's a new birth. May God answer prayer.

L-50 Now, let's take just rows, and let Him speak by rows. All along through there now, that doesn't have a prayer card... Now, if you got a prayer card, don't raise your hand. The ones without a prayer card, anywhere in this right hand row, raise up your hand, say, "Brother Branham, I'm praying." If it's not for yourself, pray for somebody else, anything you want to. Just have a request. Pray. All right. God bless you.
Now, look this a-way and say in your heart, "Lord Jesus, I believe Your Word." And the Bible says in Hebrews the 4th chapter... Now, we know before we say this, that Jesus was the Word of God made flesh. Is that right? The Bible says in Hebrews 4, that the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, dividing asunder the marrow of the bone, and a discerner of the thoughts of the heart.

L-51 That's the reason He could look upon them and say, "Thy faith has saved thee." He caught it. That's the Word. "And if ye abide in Me, and My Word in you..." Don't get some denominational man-made doctrine mixed up in you. Stay pure unadulterated with the Word. "If ye abide in Me and My Word in you, ask what you will..." for the Word is a discerner of the thoughts of the heart. Just believe now. Have faith. See if He confirms what I've said to be the truth.
Just be reverent a moment. Preaching... And then, I--I was going to make an altar call. But He's the One called me to do this, so surely He will help me.
