<TITLE>06. Par 43-56</TITLE>L-43 See, if you had Perfect Faith, you'd look right straight to God and believe it, and walk away. You would--you would have no need of coming into a prayer line. You'd have no need of these things, because your faith has done made it so. See? What would be the use for me saying, "I got to put a shirt on"? I got a shirt on!

L-44 "How do you know you got a shirt on?"

L-45 "Well, I see it, feel it, and I know it's there." Well, that's just how real that when Perfect Faith takes ahold. You don't--you don't need no more. It's already done; you know it.

L-46 "How do you know it?"

L-47 "Faith tells me so!" That's it. See? Do you get it now, what I mean? That Perfect Faith.

L-48   Now, other words, I'm venturing out, "Well, I'll go. The Bible said, 'Call the elders, let them anoint with oil, pray over it.' I know, I'll go up." And you say, "Well, I'm going to be healed." See, you're making yourself; you don't watch now, you're going to make yourself just--just worked up. Then when he pass through, he say, "Oh, I--I still don't see." See, there you was, you didn't have faith!

L-49 Your genuine faith will do it right there. Your--your genuine faith will make it so real to you that... Look at that little woman with the blood issue, she said, "If I can only touch the border of His garment, I'll be made well." And as soon as she did it, she said she "felt within herself that her blood issue stopped." She actually believed it.

L-50 And when she touched It... to prove that it stopped--it stopped, Jesus turned and said, "Who touched Me?" That Perfect Faith! And that same Perfect Faith tonight, will touch Jesus Christ just as it did then. The woman come with a Perfect Faith for that time.

L-51   Now, now we see, at first the disciples didn't have this Perfect Faith. They didn't have it, because they'd had Christ, walking with Him; but then afterwards, Christ was in them. And so, you see, it's hard then to have this Perfect Faith without the Holy Spirit; It has to bring it, It does. Now, you say, "The disciples didn't have Perfect Faith?" No; for they had an epileptic child there, that they were trying to cast this devil out of him, and they couldn't do it.

L-52 And the father seen Jesus coming, and he said, "We have brought my son to--to Your disciples, and they could not cure him." See?

L-53 And afterwards, the disciples asked Jesus, saying, "Why could not we cure him?"

L-54 And Jesus said, "Because, of the lack of faith, of your unbelief." That's right. "Because of your unbelief at..."

L-55   Now remember, they had the power. Jesus had given them power to heal the sick, to raise the dead, and cast out devils, just a few days before that. They had the power, but not the faith to use the power. Now, there's the Branham Tabernacle! There's the Church, the Bride, today! The Holy Spirit is here with the power, but you, haven't got that faith to move it. See what I mean? It takes faith to move it.

L-56 Here: I got a shell that I hand-loaded. I know what it'll do by ballistics, like the Word, but I've got to fire the gun. The fire has to get to the powder. The powder's got the power, but it's got to have the fire to light it off. And the same thing, the powder's in the shell, but it needs faith to charge it and throw it out. That's what it takes, see, Perfect Faith to ignite the power of the Holy Spirit which we have now, since He's come upon us; faith to ignite, to see great things, is to... the faith, something that presents it to you.
