<TITLE>30. Par 308-318</TITLE>L-308 If I found favor with you, told you the Truth. And what I've told you, is--is the prophet said, of years gone by. Not making myself His prophet. No, sir. But I'm telling you the Truth. Has He ever said anything but what was right? I've knowed you now for some twenty-something years, here in Phoenix, since that song, I'd Like To Talk It Over With Him, over at Brother Outlaw's church, I believe it was, and Brother Garcia. Have I ever told you anything in the Name of the Lord but what happened?

L-309   Remember, there's only one hope. Get this quickening power. It'll hold you. When everything else has give away, It'll hold you.

L-310 Some of them said, "Did you keep your religion, Brother Branham?"
I said, "No. It kept me."

L-311 It keeps me. No, I don't keep it. It ain't whether I hold on, or not. It's whether He held on, or not. He is what held on for me.

L-312 He didn't have to. Angels was set in every tree, said, "Just pull your fingers loose. Just point; you don't have to take it from the cross. Just point your finger, and watch what." See, that mocking bunch. But if He had did that, I couldn't have had this testimony today; you couldn't had it. But because He stayed to the cross, He held there, that's why I hold with Him.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other grounds are sinking sands.

L-313   Now, if you're sick, will you lay your hands on one and another. Let's pray. Just lay your hands on somebody by you. Regardless of what's wrong with you, have faith now. If I ever told you the Truth, I tell you now. See? Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." And you're believers, you just raise your hands. Don't doubt. There's some poor suffering person that you got your hands on. Somebody has got their hands on you.

L-314 Remember that quickening power, that power that raised up Jesus from the grave. Now you have faith in what you got in your--in your own body. It's going to help that person that you got your hands on. "If It indwells you, It'll also quicken your mortal bodies."

L-315   Dear God, as I stand here this morning, nearing the noonday time, when it's about this hour the day when Jesus cried, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me? I thirst." No wonder, the prophet foresaw it, and said, "All My bones, they stare at Me. They pierced My hands and My feet." "But He was numbered with the transgressors. But He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquity. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed." We claim that, this morning, God. We claim that.

L-316   In the morning of this resurrection, notice, this vindicated Truth that I've told, Lord, from Your Word, in the Presence of God. He is Judge, and we are witnesses that He's redeemed us. And in us lays, by the grace of God, that resurrecting power. And our friends are sick, the one that the hands is laid upon.

L-317 O God, we challenge the Devil, in the midst of our faith this morning, with hands laid upon the people, and me with my hands stretched over the people. Let every disease, every affliction that tries to hold the people, in the presence of this vindicated Truth, come out. In the Name of Jesus Christ, may these people be made free today. That, the Bible, the Words of our God said, "If they lay their hands on the sick, they shall recover." And our hands has been up in the air, towards You, God.

L-318   As, every plant of the earth drinks at Your fountain. And as sure as that plant, that's germitized, drinks from Your fountain, it begins to build up. It begins to grow. The stalk of corn, the flower, whatever it is that's drinking in Your fountain, grows up towards You.
