<TITLE>17. Par 211-219</TITLE>L-211   Now remember, I'm going to talk to you about the High Priest. "He is a High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." He is Jehovah-Jireh, "the Lord's provided sacrifice." He is Jehovah-Rapha, "the Lord that heals all thy diseases." Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] He is Jehovah-Manasseh. A buckler, a shield, our peace, He is still. Well, how many believes that all those redemptive names of Jehovah was applied to Jesus? ["Amen."--Ed.] Sure, He had to be. If He--if He... Why, they're inseparable, so He had to be all of them. And if He is still Jehovah-Jireh, He is Jehovah-Rapha. If He's Jehovah-Jireh... He's Jehovah-Jireh, is "the Lord's provided sacrifice for salvation," then He's Jehovah-Rapha that "heals all of our diseases." Amen. Healing can only come by God.

L-212   All right, while the people line up; I haven't got time to see who they are and what they are. But now, all out there that knows that I don't know you, raise up your hand, say, "I have a need of God. But you don't know me, Brother Branham, but I have a need of God. I'm just going to raise my hand."

L-213 Now if you'll just settle for a few minutes, watch, be careful, be quiet. Now I don't mean, when I say, "be quiet,"... If the Lord does anything, you'll want to praise the Lord; that's worship. But what I mean, "just run around, get up," you know, that's irreverent. See? And the Holy Spirit is very timid, very timid. See? Just anything like that, just leaves me, and I just have to battle then, again, see. But if you'll listen!

L-214 You remember His first promise? "Get the people to believe you, and then be sincere, nothing will stand before the prayer." You remember that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That's right. And that's... I haven't seen it fail yet, and it won't fail. It's God.

L-215   Now we'll hurry with the prayer line, so we get as many through as we can, on account of the people. But you that's got prayer cards and not called tonight, hold your card, we're going to get you. All right.

L-216 Now you out there without prayer cards, remember. Or, you out there, whether you have prayer cards or not, just believe that He is like Hebrews the 4th chapter here. "He is the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities." See if He remains. See if Jehovah has represented Himself among His people, like He did at the days of Sodom. All right.

L-217   All right, sir. Now let's pray, now, be real reverent. Now remember, a word from God is more than anybody could say. Now, this man here, I--I don't know him. And I guess he's... You're a stranger to me, are you, sir? [The brother says, "Yes."--Ed.] You're a stranger. We know one thing, that we've both got to stand in the Presence of God someday; as man, we've got to meet There. This is our first time meeting.

L-218 Now if you come here, if you are sick, I don't know; it might be something else, see. But if I--if I laid hands on you, say, "Praise the Lord! Go, get well." That's all right. You could believe that. But what if He tells you what's wrong with you? Now, see, that's different, then you know that identifies His characteristic. See, that wouldn't be my characteristic. I'm a man; I wouldn't know nothing about him. I just told him, "I don't know you." He don't know me. But what would that do? That would identify the characteristic of Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. Knowing that it couldn't be me, couldn't be me, 'cause I don't know the man. I'll raise my hand; here is the Word. See? I don't know him. He don't know me. But the characteristic of Jesus Christ...

L-219   If Jesus was standing here; and he is sick. If he would say, "Lord Jesus, heal me." What would Jesus say to Him? "I've already done it." Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
