<TITLE>21. Par 240-248</TITLE>L-240 Now what was Jesus? The same yesterday, today, and forever. Now if He stood here wearing this suit that I got on, that He gave me, now, if the woman is sick, could He heal her? Be careful now. Be careful. No. He couldn't do it. He's already done it. See? See? "He was wounded for our transgressions; by His stripes we were healed." He has already done it. The only thing He could do would just identify Himself to her, is that right, and make it known that He's raised from the dead, and alive. And now, that, He would identify Himself. And only way He could do it, would be like He was then. He would be the Prophet. Is that right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-241   Now, I, it wouldn't be me, 'cause I--I don't know nothing about it, so that let me out. But it would have to be Him. So if we are the branch and He's the Vine, He sends His Spirit into me, to let me know something of you, or something what you want, what you have been, what you are, or what you will be, or something another. You'll know whether it's the Truth or not, if it's already happened. [The sister says, "Yes."--Ed.] So that ought to make you really see that He's alive and with us today. ["Yes."] See?

L-242 Would that make you believe, if He would do it? Now raise your hands, I want to know, so you promise God, "It would make me believe." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See? That He's, He... See?

L-243 Now, I been talking about Him being the same yesterday, today, forever. Now, is He, is He alive? That's the thing. Is He here? We've shouted, and felt Something.

L-244 Just like if a man never had sight, and he walked out and felt the sun, he wouldn't know what it was. It was something warm. But if he could see, he would see what it was, he would say that's the sun. "What is the sun?" To another man, never seen, maybe, this, no one ever had the sense of sight before.

L-245   Now, this is an insight. And the thing that you have been praising and rejoicing about, here It manifests Itself and you see what It is. See? Now here It is, with this Bible laying here, and this fine bunch of brothers here and all around.

L-246 Both of us strangers. Now may the Lord Jesus reveal. Now, to heal, or to give her what she wants... If it was money, it would have to be pretty low, 'cause I haven't got very much; but I'd do it; I'd do the best I could. But--but, now, to heal, I couldn't do it. See? It'd have to come from Him. But, now, if He will tell me something about you; and you know I know nothing. And if He'd tell me something about you, it would increase your faith, wouldn't it, make you believe that He is here? [The sister says, "Yes. Yes."--Ed.] Now, may He do it.

L-247 In the Name of Jesus Christ, I take every spirit in here, under my control now, to give witness to this Word of God. I just...

L-248 Be praying now. See? You say, "What was you waiting for, Brother Branham?" How many ever seen a picture of that Light? That's what He... Here It is, right here now. It's right here now. Now she couldn't hide herself, if she could try to. Couldn't do it now. She is a nice person. She has nothing to worry about. She's conscious something is going on, too.
