<TITLE>24. Par 277-288</TITLE>L-277   Now, next thing to be done, is laying on of hands. Just like the ceremony for baptism, and you're buried with Him then, and you rise and walk away with a new life. See? You might not feel like it, but you believe it. Just keep staying with it; finally, after a while, you find out you got a new life. That's the same way it is here. It's a seed that's sown. We're planting it now, by laying hands upon it. What do we do in this? Identifying ourself. Like in the Old Testament, they laid hands upon their sacrifice, to identify themself; by faith we lay our hands upon Christ, to identify ourself with Him. Today we lay our hands upon the sick, to identify ourself with this Word. See? You believe now, and the Lord will make you well.

L-278   Now, Brother Borders is going to be singing, quietly, and the organs, pianos, and so forth, Only Believe. "All things are possible, only believe."

L-279 And just imagine now, Jesus coming down from that mountain. There the disciples had failed, upon an epileptic case, after He give them power to cast out devils, just a few days before that. It wasn't that they didn't have power, but He said, "Your unbelief was the reason of that." See? But when he come to Jesus, he knowed he hit faith there.

L-280 Now believe with all your heart, now, while we quietly sing Only Believe now. Brother Borders.

L-281 [Brother Branham and the ministers pray and lay hands on those coming through the prayer line, while the congregation prays and quietly sings Only Believe. Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
... believe,
All things are possible, only believe.

L-282 Now let us sing it like this, all that does.
Now I believe, (Do you? Let's raise our hands!) now I believe,

L-283 O God! In Jesus' Name, heal these, Lord, that these handkerchiefs represent. For Your glory, grant it, Lord.
... I believe;
Now I believe, oh, it's now I believe,
All things are possible, it's now I believe.

L-284   You know what we have done? We have followed the commandments of Jesus Christ. Now are you still with your verdict, "I am healed. It's impossible for me not to get well, because God made the promise. With my dying lips, the last thing on my lips, 'I believe I am healed.'"? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Do you believe it like that? I believe it. God bless you, my brother, sister.

L-285 Now let us stand up to our feet, just a moment. I don't know when it will be; I hope right away:
But till we meet! till we meet!
Till we meet at Jesus'... (He's in our presence now.)
Till we meet! till we meet!
God be with you till we meet again!

L-286 Let's bow our heads, while we hum it. [Brother Branham begins humming God Be With You.--Ed.] Till we meet!

L-287 O God, let Thy Word be a lamp now. What we have seen and heard and read, and may it guide us to Your feet. May we ever remain there, believing Your Word, everything that You promised. Grant it, Lord.
Till we meet! till we meet!
God be with you till we meet again!

L-288 Let us bow our heads now while our most lovely brother, Brother Johnson, takes the dismissing prayer. God bless you, Brother Johnson.
