<TITLE>19. Par 215-227</TITLE>L-215 May, Lord, in this hour when we're giving witness, may the great Holy Spirit come now. And these words that I've said, may He back them up, by confirming them. He's proving to this audience that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. The... And fulfill that Scripture. We know You don't... You wouldn't have to do it, Lord, to prove that You were God. But as we read in the Book of Saint Matthew, about 12th chapter, He didn't have to heal, to show He was God. But He did, that it might be fulfilled. He has to keep His Word, and He loves to do it. And He will do it, because He is God. And I pray, tonight, now, that He'll keep this Word also, that's promised for this hour. May all my brethren, and all myself, and all the people that's here, and our sisters, this lovely bunch of people, see Your Presence among us now. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-216   Now, we're running a little bit late, so we'll just call a... Yes, we are really late. We're going to be about ten more minutes, or fifteen. Just let's call a few in the prayer line.

L-217 Prayer cards, did you give them an A? Yeah, A's. A, number one, let's get one to... Who has prayer card A, number one? Raise up your hand. If you can walk... It's a little card, got a number on it. A, number one, raise up your hand. You mean it's not in the audience?

L-218 Wrong; you must have been mistaken. Prayer card A, one? [Someone says, "Right here, Brother Branham."--Ed.] Well, oh, it is? All right. A, two?

L-219 Come right over here, if you will, lady. Make your way right over here. Well, let's see, can she get through there? I doubt it. Oh, yeah, it's all through the pit there. All right.

L-220 A, number two, who has that? Three? Raise up your hand. If you can't come now... That's the reason we call them, one by one, we might have to pack them in here. Three? Four, who has four? Five? Down here, lady. Come up.

L-221 Six, prayer card number six. Is this the lady raising up here, with the little, white jacket on? You have six? Seven? Sometimes they're deaf, can't hear. Sometimes they can't walk. Seven. Eight. I didn't see eight raise up. Would you raise your hand? All right. Nine. Ten. All right.

L-222 Let's just wait there just a minute, 'cause we're running late now. Let us see these just a minute. Just hold your cards. We'll call you, one by one, see, but just stay in line.

L-223   Now, how many in here doesn't have a prayer card? Raise up your hand, say, "I'm sick. I don't have a prayer card." Raise up your hand, just way up high so I can see it. I guess it's all around. Now, look. I want to talk to you just a moment while they're lining up.

L-224 There was a woman, we say, in the Bible, she didn't have a prayer card, either. And, but she had faith. And so she--she said, "If I can touch His garment, I'll be made well." How many knows the story? Sure. And when she touched His garment, He turned around and said, "Who touched Me?"

L-225 Well, Peter thought that sounded kind of like a mental case. He said, "Why, everybody is touching You. You say who 'touched' You? Why, they won't think so well of You, if You..."

L-226 He said, "But I perceive that I got weak." Virtue went from Him. And He turned and looked over His audience until He found that woman. And He said to her, that, her blood issue, her faith had healed her. How many knows that to be true? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-227   Now, have I just got through saying, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever"? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Does the Bible say, that, "He's the High Priest that can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities"? ["Amen."] Is that right? ["Amen."] Then how would He act today? He would act the same as He did yesterday. Is that right? Now, remember, you can still touch Him. See? The Scriptures can't lie. See?
