<TITLE>20. Par 223-233</TITLE>L-223   Now, if Jesus Christ proves that He's alive, how many is going to accept your healing, right where you're setting? Just raise your hand, say, "If He will do just what He did here, I know He's alive. Brother Branham, I--I heard you speak. I know you. You're just a little baldheaded preacher standing there, see, and I know there's nothing in you. But I--I do know, if you've told the Truth, God will certainly testify of It. He's obligated to do that."

L-224 Now, I've spoke of Him. Now let Him speak, that I have told you the Truth. If it isn't the Truth, then it isn't the Truth. If It is the Truth, then you accept It.

L-225   The lady here, I never seen her. She raised her hands, a few minutes ago, that we were strangers to one another. She might have heard of me somewhere, in the paper, magazine, or might have seen me in a meeting. But as knowing anything about the woman, the first, only thing I know, I probably never met her before in life. She is standing here, a total stranger.

L-226 Say, this happens to be something I talked of, a few moments ago. Here is a man and a woman, meet for the first time, like Saint John the 4th chapter, when our Lord Jesus Christ met the woman at the well. Right on a panoramic, the same way, just the Bible portrayed again. Jesus never knew her. She never knew Jesus. She questioned Him, asking her, and--and He asked her for a drink of water. And then when the Father revealed to Him what was her trouble, quickly she recognized that that was more than just an ordinary man.

L-227   Now, lady, I--I don't know you, don't know one thing about you. But I'm just speaking to you, or you being the first person to catch the Spirit of the Lord. And now I perceive that you are a believer, and I mean a Christian believer, not a hitchhiker. Because, immediately, when I turned to you, your spirit vibrates welcome. See, I know that she's a Christian. See? Now, she could be a hypocrite; she could be anything; she could be a deceiver standing there. How would I know? I never seen her in my life.

L-228 But, now, if--if this repeats itself, that He knows where your trouble is, He knows what you're here for. It might be sickness. It might be financial trouble. It might be domestic trouble. I don't know. He does. But if He will reveal to me by His Presence, and let my mind and lips, and all, be so carried by Him, till He will tell you what you're here for. You know whether it to be the truth or not, wouldn't you? You would know it, whether it was the truth or not.
How many would believe it? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See?

L-229   Now, here I am, with my hands up, too. I never seen her in my life, as far as I know. Never seen her in my life. We're totally strangers, one to another. Now, if the Holy Spirit can reveal, to this woman, something about her: something she's done, like that woman did at the well then; or something that she ought to have done, and did not do; some trouble she has had; something that's on her heart; something she wants, or something like that; it has to come from some supernatural Power. How many knows that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-230 Well, now, you could take the side of the Pharisees, and say, "It's the Devil." Or, you could take the side of the believer, and say, "It's God." Then, it depends on you. It's up to you.
Now, that, may the Holy Spirit speak.

L-231   Now, if you who are controlling these microphones, sometime when the Anointing comes down, that I--I don't know how loud I'm talking.

L-232 You see where I have to stand now? I either have to stand with this Word... And I've declared that It's the Truth. Now I've got to depend on God declaring that back, that it's the Truth, right here before these people.

L-233 I did it before a half a million. God did it, rather, let me say, in Bombay, India, before two hundred and fifty thousand.
