<TITLE>11. Par 36-38</TITLE>L-36 But we have gathered here for a spiritual world fair, to see what God's been able to do with His church through the age, how He's come from--from confession to gifts, and signs, and speaking in tongues, and wonders; and now right down to the last sign, God in His great affair, showing to the world what He's been able to do with His people. And we're so glad to be represented tonight, Lord, among a group of people that believes it, and sincere, and travels everywhere to find the goodness of God.
Now, heavenly Father, bless Thy Word. Bless Thy people everywhere. Save the lost, Lord. O God, they must go someday, we know. And I trust, Lord, that tonight it'll come to pass that we will be the kind of Gentiles that Jesus admired.
We read in the Bible where Jairus, his little girl laid sick, dying, and he said, "Come, lay Your hands upon my child, and she will be well."
But when the Roman, Gentile, he said, "I'm not worthy that You'd come under my roof. Just speak the Word, and my servant shall live." Then You turned, and looked at Israel, and said, "I've not found faith like that in Israel."
Now, Father, we're not trying to lay hands upon the sick, that when I leave they might say that "a certain brother come by and laid hands on me." But I... Father, I pray that they will see that I--what the motive in my heart, and the objective of Thy Word, that I'm trying to bring to them, that their Saviour, Jesus, is with them. He's ever living. He's alive. Two thousand years of criticism and coldness could not kill Him. He's still alive right in our midst tonight.
And let the people see His Presence, see Him working, not wait to someone to lay hands upon them, but by faith believe the resurrected Christ, and receive their healing and their salvation, go up and down the islands everywhere, testifying like the little lady we spoke of last night at the city of Sychar, and over in the land of the Samaritans. Grant it, Lord.
We are Your servants, humbly committing ourself with this text tonight. Speak, Lord. We are in Your hands. Do with us as You see fit. In Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen.

L-37 Now, in these meetings (to the clergymen) I have tried to keep it very simple, just the message and--of healing, so that we can watch our Lord. Now, many times people go around, you know... And it's just human. They say, "Oh, Brother So-and-so, hallelujah, don't you think he had a gift of God? He laid hands on me. Hallelujah."
No. That was your faith that did it. See? It was your faith, not the brother's hands. It was your faith (See?), because if there is healing in some man's hands, then what happened to Calvary? There's where He paid the price of our healing. It's our individual faith in His finished work. Any man knows that. You see? Now, therefore, I have not come trying to say, "Let's all come up and let--lay hands on you." I'm trying to say this to build your faith.

L-38 Now, and one of you... What if one of you Indian brethren or sisters, would get sick way out on one of those islands? You think, "Well, I'm poor, ain't got no money. If I could go down to the States, go way down to Brother Branham, go way over to Oral Roberts..." Well, maybe Brother Roberts, you'd probably takes months to get in.
I got three hundred setting there on a waiting list now, from all over the world. But that's for private meeting. See, when we come in there, I take a case like that, we never leave it. We leave it alone until God reveals. It takes God to reveal what he must do, what he has done and so forth like that. Now, them's private interviews. That's something in life. We got the plan laid out in the Bible here, but the private life of things... Oh, it would take years. I could write volumes of books on what I've seen Him do. And not one time did it ever fail. Not one time does it ever fail. Just ask anybody at any place. It never does. It can't fail. It's God. There's one thing God cannot do. He cannot fail. He can't fail.
