<TITLE>26. Par 313-325</TITLE>L-313   So, you see, you in the prayer line, it's got to be your faith in the Word. Now if you see God doing what He's done... Look, let me just give one little testimony while you're getting ready. Listen close. Night before last...

L-314 There is a little minister here somewhere. I seen him here, a while ago. Martin was his name. I forget... He is one of the sponsors. Right here.

L-315 About midnight, close to it, someone woke me up in my room. A little fellow crying, a little minister, his baby had just passed away. The tears running down his face.

L-316 He's plumb up in somewhere in... What's the name of that town they live in? [Someone says, "Missouri." --Ed.] Missouri. Up at where? ["Wardell, Missouri."] Wardell, Missouri. I know the boy. I know his brother here, too. They're friends of mine.

L-317 This brother walked in there with tears running down his cheeks, said, "Brother Branham, I just called... My wife just called me. My little baby just quit breathing." He laid his hands upon me, said, "Brother Branham, I believe the Word of the Lord is with you." Oh, how could God... Just like, "Even now, Lord! If You had been here, my brother would not have died." See, he wasn't confessing to me. He was confessing the Word of the Lord, you see, that I was preaching the Truth. He said, "I believe the Word of the Lord is with you. Just ask Him; my baby will live." In ten minutes from then, his baby was breathing normal, is well now.

L-318   My son standing here somewhere, Billy Paul, he had went out to talk to him. And I was there in my pajamas. And about a few minutes later he come back, said, "Daddy, Daddy, look at here!" And his throat all swelled out, and red, and a great big whelp, whelp about that big around. Said, "A big black-looking spider with a red spot on it! I was standing there, I was talking to John, and he bit me there. And look there, it's swelling out."

L-319 I said, "Oh, Billy, a black widow, maybe." And I said, "Look at your throat, how it's swelled."

L-320 I put my hand there, I said, "Lord Jesus," in ten minutes from then there wasn't even... you couldn't even tell the spot had ever been there. See? What is it? See?

L-321   Someone come in, the other day, and said, to the office. And one of the offices come out. And said, "Tell Brother Branham just to say that my child..." He said, "I believe if... what you'd say." But, see, I can't say it till He tells me.

L-322 But here I got the Word says this, "These signs shall follow them that believe. If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." Now, God can't do those things and leave you stand there. You've got to. You believe the same thing, it'll happen to you. But you've got to believe it, not just bluff it. You got to believe it.
Now let us pray, first, all together.

L-323   I want each one of you all... while the brethren stand here at this microphone. I'm going down there so I can lay hands on them, too. They're my people, they're my... They're the stars in my crown, the same they are in your crown, my minister brothers. I'm coming there because we love them, and they're God's children. We're coming to help them.
Now let us pray.

L-324   Lord Jesus, the man that could say that Your Presence isn't here, would... there would be something mentally wrong. Just like a man who would refuse to accept the sunlight; somebody tell him the sun is shining, he would run down in the basement and shut the door, and say, "I just refuse to believe it! I refuse to believe it!" Well, we would know, Lord, that something mentally was wrong with the man. And so does the man that would shut up his bowels of compassion, in the Light of the Word of Jesus Christ being made manifest, would say, "I don't believe It," there is something spiritually wrong with the man.

L-325 So we know that You're here, Father. Without a doubt, we believe it. We see Your--Your footprints. We see Your marks. We see Your Word.
