<TITLE>22. Par 214-225</TITLE>L-214   There's a little fellow setting right here, that, under this church now. A few days ago... That man believes. Little old boy had a cancer on his ear, and he wouldn't say nothing about it. He was working up there at the house. I had been on a hunting trip with him, up there at the Moseley brothers, and Brother Dawson here. We was up here a hunting, Brother William's son. And I happened to look over on his ear. I seen his ear all swelled up. I said, "What's the matter, Donavan, that ear?"

L-215 He said, "Brother Branham, it's been on a long time. I don't know."

L-216 I just--just caught him by the hand there. That was a big cancer on his ear. Never said one word; just held it, and thought, "My brother!" In a day or two after that, there wasn't even a scar left of it. It was his respect in the God of Heaven, by His quickening power, killed that cancer and spared the life of Donavan Weerts back there. That's right.

L-217   What is these things? Look here, people here in Phoenix. Look at you people who has believed in this. Look at the people who has this, that lays their hands upon you. Watch what happens. It's quickening power. "These signs shall follow them that believe." If they lay their hands on the sick, that quickening power, eagle to eagle, something is going to take place. Now, a eagle to a buzzard, won't work. Eagle to eagle, raises from the barnyard, to the Heavenlies. "These signs shall follow them that believe," when they're both in beliefs.

L-218   See that same quickening power of God represented in these two prophets, Elijah and Elisha. Notice, same word; one of them is catch up, the other one is caught up. Catch up and caught up. See? He was caught up. We'll be catch up; catch up with them, meet them in the air. "Be caught up to meet them in the air."

L-219 Notice, a bird has to have two wings, to balance hisself. That right? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Elijah was the translating wing, Elijah. Elisha was a resurrection wing. See? Both of them, together, representing the saints that are living and the saints that are gone on.

L-220 Remember, quickened to see the past, the curtains. How these people were quickened back there to look past the curtain and see down in this time; those prophets!

L-221   Look at Paul, said in the last days how these people would be, act and call themselves Christians. He was a prophet, full of the quickening power, foresaw it come to pass. We believe that. Don't we? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] He received quickening power.

L-222 Look at the quickening power today, foretelling things, without one event missing. Not one time does it fail. Quickening power; not the power of a man; the power of God. The power, the abstract of Easter, the resurrected Jesus that sent back the abstract, to guarantee us that we're already quickened with Him.

L-223   Notice. You remember the little book, the Business Men here, Looking A Past The Curtain Of Time? I begin to get older, knowing my days are getting shorter. I get real...

L-224 I play that little piece that them ladies sang a while ago. I've had it for about eighteen, twenty years now. I Want To Talk It Over, Lord. And get out there and go to praying, then that quickening power comes. I'm rest up. I looked up There. I say, "Looky yonder."

L-225 I remember that morning, being caught a past. And my wife, sitting back there, laying on the same bed with me that morning. I was raised up, and looked up. And there she is, asleep. I said, "If I'm going to do anything for the Lord, you better hurry up, boy. You're past fifty." Then the Holy Spirit caught me away, and I looked over There. I seen those saints, just as certain I'm standing here by this desk, with this sacred Book laying here, and a minister of the Gospel.
