<TITLE>03. Par 14-19</TITLE>L-14 Like, I see sick people; if I can't--if I can't feel for those sick people, I can't do them no good. I--I've got to feel for them. And the same way with--with you; I--I've got to feel for you, or I can't be your brother. See? I--I got to feel for you. And, I do that; God knows that that's true.

L-15   And now, tonight, I'll give to praying for the sick.
And I want to... man, and bless these man, and Brother Collins, and Hickerson, Brother Neville, Brother Capps, the trustees, and all, for the fine reports that's been coming, of how you're orderly, setting the church, and how everything is be coming into its right position. I'm grateful to you man. The Lord bless you for trying to carry out an order. And letter after letter comes into Tucson, to me, "Brother Branham, it's not like it used to be. It's so much different, such a blessed feeling of the Presence of God." And I'm--I'm grateful for that. The Lord ever bless you!

L-16   Then, now, tonight, I was reading here in the Scripture a little place, to--to maybe set out a few words, to speak and read a Scripture, and then maybe a couple Scriptures, then talk to you for a few moments and then pray for the sick. Not but just a few moments; I'm watching the clock, and I'll try to make it just as quick as possible. But I do think that when a crowd of people are gathered together, without reading the Word or doing something, some exhortation, the meeting wouldn't be complete.

L-17 Many of you has waited. Many of you has got miles of travel yet tonight. How I admire that! How I look and see each one, and think about... There in Arizona, I think, "When I see him again, I'm going to walk right down and shake his hand and hug his neck." And here you are setting here, and who, where can I, you know? Don't know which one to start at, and which... how to get out of it. But, yeah, I love you. God loves you, too.

L-18   Now I think, if I'm not mistaken, if I haven't got the--the wrong Scripture laying out here, I want to read out of First Corinthians, the 1st chapter, beginning with the 18th verse, and also read Second Corinthians 12:11, to take a text. Now if I can find those right quick, and then we'll read, and then pray and start right in, just speaking to you for a few minutes on a little subject. In First Corinthians, the 1st chapter, beginning with the 18th verse.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? has not God made foolishness the wisdom of this world?
May I quote that again? "Has not God made foolishness the wisdom of this world?" What is the wisdom of this world then? Foolishness.
... hath not God made foolishness the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, but it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them which hath believed.
Can I read that verse again? Listen closely.
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
For the Jews require a sign,... the Greeks seek after wisdom:
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock,... unto the Greeks foolishness;
But unto them which are called, both Jew and Greek, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than man; and the weakness of God is stronger than man.

L-19 And in Second Corinthians the 12th chapter, the 11th verse, Paul speaking.
I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind in the very chiefest apostle, though I be nothing.
