<TITLE>20. Par 217-230</TITLE>L-217 But I want you to pray. And you put on your heart the thing that you have need of, and you ask our High Priest, Who can be touched by the feeling of our infirmities.

L-218 Now, me not knowing you, and you might just touch me all over, be like touching your brother, your husband, your pastor, someone, it wouldn't--it wouldn't do no good. But if you touch Him, and if we are truly in line with His Spirit, then He can use your faith to touch Him, and by a gift to speak back through.

L-219 See, I'd be just as mute as this, this is here, without a voice speaking through it. There has got to... This, this is a mute without something here to speak through it. And so is any person, is a mute, when it comes to these things, unless God speaks through them.

L-220   Now you pray, and let's see if these things that I have said is the truth. God help it to be so. I don't say that He will. I hope that He will. I'm trusting that He will. He has never let me down yet, over the years, across and around the world, with all kinds of nations, and millions of people. He has never failed me yet. And I'm sure, just as sure as I believe I'm standing here, He won't fail me now.

L-221 I'm going to ask you just to be reverent and keep seated, just for a few moments. We're going to dismiss the main audience and pray for the sick, just in a moment.

L-222 But I want you, you believers, that if you'll just not look to me, but believe. Say, "I believe that what the man said is the Scripture. I don't know as we're as far up in the time as he says we are. But, if it is, then it's got to happen. If his Words are God's Words, then, his words will fail but God's Words won't."

L-223 God is obligated to back up His Word. He'll prove It. He'll prove It. "He that believeth on Me." He proved that this is the last day. He proved what would happen. He proved that this was supposed to happen.

L-224   And, remember, Abraham and his group never received one more sign from God, until the promised son arrived. How many knows that's true? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] That sign of discernment! And the royal Seed of Abraham, let me hear you... Let me tell you. THUS SAITH THE LORD, you're receiving your last sign. That's according to the Scriptures and the revelation of God that's in my heart, that speaks that this is the Truth. And I trust that you will believe it to be the Truth.

L-225 Now you believe. Everybody just believe, say, "Lord Jesus, let me touch You. I have a need in my heart, and I know Brother Branham knows nothing about me. I don't even know the man, he don't know me, but You know. And if he has told me the Truth, this will happen." I ask you, don't move now, just for a little bit. Be real...

L-226 See, you're spirit. And I take every spirit in here under my control, in the Name of Jesus Christ, that His Word might be fulfilled.

L-227 Now just be reverent. Pray. Look to Him, say, "Lord, I believe it. Help Thou my unbelief."

L-228 Let's start. I have to concentrate on some sort of the part of the building here, 'cause, see, so many of you, and each one of you is a spirit.

L-229   I cannot. You say, "What about me?" I could not tell you. It's sovereign. All the works of God is sovereign. There will be many people healed crossing this platform, tonight, there will probably be many not. It's all in the sovereign of God. Who can tell Him what to do? No one. He works according to His Own will, His Own plan.

L-230 But you just believe. Be humble. Don't be nervous. Just reach out for God, and say, "Lord God, I believe it." See? "Let me touch Your garment. I have need of such-and-such. I know the brother don't know me or know my need, but he told us about these things that You did, and say that You're here the same today."
