<TITLE>23. Par 211-217</TITLE>L-211 So, "Sir, we would see Jesus." Now, what would He do? What if the man's sick, would He say, "I'm going to heal you"? He couldn't do it; He's already did it. See? "By His stripes we were healed." He did it on Calvary. But He would do something to show that He was still Messiah. Was that right? Well, then what would He do, would He say, "Look at My nail scars"? That's not what He said in the beginning. He never... He just told them what was in their heart and so forth, and they knew that was Messiah. Now, that's Him, same yesterday, today, and forever. Do you believe it? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen"--Ed.]

L-212 You say, "Brother Branham, what are you waiting on?" The Angel of the Lord. Sure. I can't do a thing. I'm waiting for It. It don't anoint me, I can't--I can't say a thing. It just depends on what...
Now, He's here. He's here now. And in the Name of Jesus Christ I take every spirit in here under my control for the glory of God.
I don't know you, sir. We are strangers. But you're present something--or conscious that something is going on. Now, the man could not hide his life. He is sick. To heal him, I cannot. There's no way for me to heal him. The man has been to a--a doctor. He's had an examination. Sure, he's up for an operation. That is right. If that's right, sir, raise up your hand.
You believe?

L-215 Say, "You guessed that, Brother Branham." I didn't.
Watch again. Look this way, sir. Just like our Lord speaking to a woman, It's His Spirit. I'm not Him. I'm a man like you, but It's His Spirit. Whatever He told you, it was right, whatever. Yeah, here it is again. Yes, yes, he's ready for an operation right now, and it's on a bladder trouble and a prostate condition. That's THUS SAITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. That's right. Raise up your hand if that be so. Do you believe now that you're in His Presence? All right. Go, believing and you'll be well. Amen.
You believe? Now, it's just that simple to see Christ moving.

L-216 Now, lady, we are strangers to each other. Here's a... You've been in the meeting. When I say "stranger," that mean I don't know you, you don't know me. And I... You've seen me in the meetings and things like that. But to know, say, "Yes, Brother Branham, you come to my house, I know you; we're personal friends." I don't know you that way. And you just been in the meeting somewhere. I wouldn't have no idea, nothing about you, only just you're just a woman that's been in one, attended some meeting somewhere. Now, there was a man. Here's a woman.

L-217 Here's a picture of St. John 4, a man and a woman meets the first time in life to meet face to face, like woman, the woman of Samaria and our Lord Jesus. Now, here's a woman; I don't know her. I've never seen her. She's a total stranger. God in heaven knows that. I've never seen her. But if the Holy Spirit will tell her what she is here for, somebody else or whatever it is, domestic, financial, what--or sickness or whatever it is, then she'll have to admit that there's some supernatural power here to do that. Is that right? See?
Now it depends on what you think It is. You can say, "Beelzebub" or you can say, "Christ." You, if you say "Beelzebub," you get his reward. See? Say "Christ," it's His reward. You must believe.
Now, what a place it puts you. Does somebody want to take this place? If you don't believe it, come here and take my place once. [Brother Branham pauses--Ed.] Always a quiet audience when that's asked.
