<TITLE>27. Par 315-327</TITLE>L-315 "And when the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks in dry places, returns back again." See? And if you don't really believe, no matter how much it's took off of you, if you don't know how to accept it and believe it! When it returns back, you still know it's gone; and if you accept it, then there's nothing but death. But what's the matter? You put a...
What if you had a snake in you, about that long? You'd die.

L-316 Well, what is it? Your heart beats and purifies the blood stream. And that's what causes fever, is infection. And then when that growth, laying in the human body, and it's dead, and infection sets in, or it begins to swell, and the heart has to beat that out, purifying the blood. Why, of course, you get worse.

L-317 But people, there, that don't have faith, just run in, and they actually get a relief. I see people...

L-318   One night, a man with cataracts over his eyes, run down and played the piano, and could see. He come up and took this same Bible and read from it. And about four nights later, couldn't even see his hand before him. He come back, said, "I lost my healing." It was just a good thing to be there. He come.

L-319 I said, "Brother, that's wrong. You--you, you've done... You disbelieve."
He said, "Well, Brother Branham, I got healed. But..."

L-320 I said, "No, it's the cataract swelling, sir. Just keep on believing. Don't you doubt. If you do, it will come back. You just keep on believing. You said you believed. Then, you're taking back on what you said. Don't say it 'less you believe it." Encouraged him and told him. Stayed there, was there for two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, he could read the Bible as good as anybody else could. See?

L-321   Now, if he hadn't had instructions on what to do, and that's what you get, run in like this. And the first thing you know, then it all falls back on the pastor, and they say, "Well, they wasn't." See, it's because the congregation is not trained. They don't understand how to, what they must do. And they don't have, altogether, faith. They have a lot of hope.

L-322 But, now, what I'm trying to do, is not for you to say, "You know what? Brother Branham laid hands on me, and, brother, I got well." I don't want to even touch you. I want you to touch Him. See? I ain't got nothing to do with it.

L-323 But in the gift that God has give me, if I can manifest Christ, to show Him and bring Him to a reality here before you, the Word Itself made flesh among us, and show that it is God, then you just touch Him and see what happens. You see what I mean, friends?

L-324   You don't want something big. If you do, you can't go to little places. I was on the field, years ago. I've never permitted my meetings to grow to a place. I don't have any televisions. I don't have anything selling. I--I don't have nothing, just Christ. And I... If some... I go to them little bitty places where some of the brothers who has got these great big programs couldn't go to, because they got to have thousands of dollars every day, to keep their program. I don't have to have nothing, just more of God. See? And I can go wherever He sends me. See? And that's where I can go to.

L-325 I preached a revival here not long ago, in a church that held twenty. It was pitiful, but we held it, anyhow, because the Lord told me to go there. See? And then I go and preach to a crowd of five hundred thousand. Somebody sponsors it and takes me over. I don't worry about nothing. I just worry about keeping right, before Him. See? He sends me wherever He wants to send me.

L-326   Now, tonight, as far as I know, in this line, people are strangers to me.

L-327 How many is out there, is strange to me? Raise your... Knows I don't know nothing about you, raise up your hand, you--you need Christ. All right. You just believe now. I think it was a hundred percent.
