Healing Line

1 Our Heavenly Father, we are grateful for this grand opportunity we have to present Jesus Christ to the people of Chicago, tonight. We thank Thee for this great revival that is now just beginning. And we pray, Lord, that this message will never die in Chicago, but will grow from church to church, from place to place, until great hosts of people with one accord are gathered together, and we see a repeat of the apostolic blessings poured upon the peoples of every church and every denomination.
Grant it, Father. May it not only go from church to church, but from person to person, until an old-fashioned revival has brought Chicago to tears. Where every home has throwed out the card tables and put a prayer altar there. And the places are closed up, of vice, and just a real old-fashioned revival.
2 God, we're thinking of Your great servant, Mr. Moody, and many who are at Your altar tonight. And Father, let it happen once more, won't You, Lord, just before the coming. We think of those great men who their tears has stained these streets here, and crying and begging for the people. And I pray, God, that You will let us see it once more. Grant it, Father.
And now bless Thy humble servants everywhere, every pastor, every lay member. And help us as we go along life's journey to scatter sunshine until we see the Lord Jesus face to face. We ask these blessings in His name. Amen.
Now I would ask this, Christian friend. It's a little congested and we will try not to be too long. We'll just pray and we'll see what our Lord will say to us. And now I want to... Sometimes people misunderstand these things when we call people up here and something is spoke. They sometimes say, "It's a stage show or something."
3 Oh, I don't mean it that way, see. I don't want you to think that I... That's wrong. We're just trying to... As Paul stood and preached and looked in the audience and he said to a man, "I perceive that you have faith to be healed. Stand up on your feet, Jesus Christ makes you whole." Just a repeat of the Gospel. And that's my motive, that's what I mean in my heart.
And you pray for me. And I wish you would be just as reverent as you can, especially while the prayer line's going on. There will probably be mothers and dads and little children here. If they cannot be touched by God, they're going to die right away. And your disobedience might hinder their faith. So let's just all believe with one accord now. And just say, "Lord Jesus, I believe You." And that will make a wall of faith all the way around.
Acts 14:9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
Acts 14:10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
4 And it's a little difficult to work when there's people behind and people everywhere, because each person is a spirit, an individual unit. And that spirit, of course, comes in contact with spirit. See. Spirit with spirit. Now if the Angel of the Lord...
I do not know anyone here that I can see. Probably everyone of you are strangers, as far as I know. I believe I know this man taking recording. I'm not too positive, but I think I know him. And that's the only person I see in the building at this time that I know.
Now, God knows everyone of us. So if He will come tonight and reproduce the life of His beloved Son in the church, then you love Him more and more all the time. Just fall in love with Him and keep Him on your heart. And just don't notice what people say. Just keep in love with Christ Jesus and He will lead you into the shady, green pastures. God bless you.
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe;
Only believe, only believe,
All things are possible, only believe.
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe.
All things are possible, Lord, I believe.
Lord, I believe, Lord, I believe,
All things are possible, Lord, I believe.
5 Are they all lined up, ushers? You have your audience ready? Let's stop just at that now, they got a line. Now, now let's believe with all of our heart now. Be real reverent. And how many will pledge that, "Brother Branham, I will be praying that my Lord Jesus will help these sick people tonight." Will you do that, all? Thank you kindly. That's very nice of you. God bless you.
I want to thank these ushers, and everybody too. They've been so kind, everybody. And around the church here, the boys here in the tabernacle, the young men's been so nice when I come back and talk to them of a afternoon. They've been very, very nice. And I appreciate it very much.
All right. If the lady is very sick why... Come here and stand right against this, lady, if you will. All right. So you have something to lean on, is what I'm... Now, how I want you to lean on something else, now, on the everlasting arms of the Lord Jesus Christ.
6 You believe He is here? You do. Now I believe our sister is a stranger to me. I don't believe I ever seen you in life. That makes you and I strangers. Now my sister, if there was anything in the world that I could do as a man to help you, I'd be very glad to do it. But, I can't, you see, no more than just pray. I'd just be as your husband, or loved ones, or whoever it is, your father or just someone to help you, see, to help pray for you. And you believe that don't you?
But do you believe that the story is told about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and He lives in His church tonight? Now if Jesus was standing here wearing this suit that He gave me, in a body form like I'm standing, now, He could not heal you, see, because He's already did that when He died at Calvary. See. He saved everybody in the world when He died at Calvary. Do you believe that?
7 Now the only way you can be saved is to accept what He has already done. By His stripes we were healed at Calvary, see. And you just have to accept what He has done. Is that right? Now, the ministers, many of them preach the Gospel of divine healing, you accept it, just the same results.
But in there, God has set some in the church apostles and prophets and gifts of healing and so forth, faith and... That's to stimulate, other words, the church. And that's what I'm here to do, sister, to try to help you to believe on Jesus.
But now for instance, you're standing tonight. Happened to be the first patient, a woman and me a man. That would be just like the repeat of the woman at the well, a man and a woman. And Jesus talked to her a while. Did you ever study that, wonder why He talked to her? He perhaps, I don't say so, but just knowing how He works now and how He does, it's the first thing, He wanted to get the attention of that woman, see.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
1 Corinthians 12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
8 Now that's what He's trying to do to every sinner, speak to them in a accident, or sunset, or something. He's trying to get the attention of that sinner on Him. If He can ever get the attention... Like He did Moses with the burning bush, he turned aside. Well, that's what I'm trying to do now is get the attention of you alone, turned to Christ.
Now if He is risen from the dead as He said He would do, and would show the same signs... If He were standing here wearing this suit, I said, He couldn't heal you. Because He would tell you, "I died for that purpose." But here's what He could do, He would know all about your trouble. And if there's any trouble in the way, He would tell you. You know that, don't you? [The sister says, "Yes, sir."] He could do that.
9 But you are a believer. ["I sure am."] You are a believer. And you've had an operation. The operation was in the inward parts, the intestines. And it hasn't been successful. Your intestines, there's a drainage coming from the intestines. And they want you to come back again. But they can't do nothing for you. They give you up. There was nothing they could do. Is that the truth? ["Yes, sir."] If that's the truth would you raise your hand?
Now you heard the voice, but that wasn't me, see. That was just like the light, but it isn't the light it's a current, see. That was Him talking. And whatever He told you, it's the truth. Now if that was truth, do you believe He could still tell me what was truth? ["Yes, sir."] Why He's healed you at Calvary when He died for you. Are you willing to accept it now? ["Yes, sir."] You are?
Now isn't He the same Jesus who would know all things? ["Yes, sir."] All right. Do you believe and accept your healing now from Him? ["I do."] Let's pray.
10 Our Heavenly Father, the woman stands here, and You know her conditions. And we know that Satan would rob her life if he could. But Thou has said in the Scripture, "In My name, they shall cast out devils." And we know that it would only be a devil that would do this injury to this poor little woman. And I pray Thee, Father, to have mercy upon her. And now as Your servant, in obedience to Your commands, I lay hands upon her for her healing. And as Your servant, I say, "In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast this evil spirit from the woman, that's trying to take her life. Come out of her. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I adjure thee to leave her." Amen.
Now sister, just go on your road, happy, thanking God. And write to me and tell me what happened to you. God bless you. Do you believe you're healed? Yes, I do to, sister. God bless you.
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
11 Now would you come near sister? Now our blessed Redeemer is present in the building. Do you believe that? You believe that He is present? All right. Then if our Saviour is here present and can heal you, and make you well, and can make you whole again, only by, as you believe Him. Isn't that right? Just as you believe Him, so will He do unto you. Is that right?
You believe He will heal you of your disease? [The sister says, "I do."] And then besides that, you've got someone on your heart, a loved one that you're interested in. I believe it's a boy, a son. And that son that you're trying to get to go to some sort of a school or something to become a full-time Gospel worker. That's all right, mother. Now just... Is those things the truth? All right. See God, he doesn't need the car, he can be... You just go down mother, accept Jesus.
12 And the boy has been a very odd sort of a boy. But you just believe with all your heart. For years and years you've longed for this. Is that right? But now, I believe that God will give you the desire of your heart, mother.
Now Heavenly Father, be merciful to her. And grant that she can go from here tonight, and may her beloved son go and fulfill the desire of mother, and the call of the Lord Jesus Christ. Grant it, Lord. We ask it in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you, mother. Go on your way and peace of God be with you. Go lay your hand on him. God bless you.
Let's say, "Thanks be to God."
13 Now, come would you, sir. Do you believe with all your heart? Of course sir, as a brother, there's nothing I could do to help you in the way of healing you, see. I couldn't do it. And you look like a good strong man. But perhaps, you're not, I don't know. But our Lord Jesus knows you and He knows me.
And now, if you believe that He is here and His Presence is here... Do you believe that He is here? It's cancerous condition. And that man sitting right there has the same thing. Them demons are screaming one to another, you see, for pity, mercy. They're calling, and so's the Angels of God calling. The battle is here. Now, your faith will determine which way it goes.
14 You believe that will come off of your face sir, and believe that God will let you get well? You do it, sitting there with the mother there. You believe it? Now it's screaming for mercy, both of them. There's a pull. You've had an operation for yours. I see a hospital, or door open or something. There's surgery going on. And it was in the stomach or intestine in there, where they...
Oh, yes, and it's formed a knot or something has growed back in that place. [A man say, "That's right."] Isn't that true? Is that the truth, sir? ["That's the truth."] Now you brethren, God be merciful to you. You believe me as His servant? See. You're both right now at the verge of being healed, see. I can't determine that, I can only speak what I see. See. And that's the truth. That's the truth.
15 Now your faith in God will ... what will make you well, see. And both of you are in dying condition. Only life can come through Christ who died in your stead. ["Praise God."] You have a wife that's in need of prayer too, don't you, brother? Yes, sir. Do you believe she will be healed also of the tumors? Do you believe God will take it out of her? You do?
Let's bow our heads just a moment. O God, Author of life, Giver of mercy, Thy great Being is moving in this audience tonight, standing here. And to think of the privilege that we have of standing in the presence of Almighty God.
And I pray Thee to be merciful to these men, my brethren. God, they're going to die. The doctors has done all they can do. Your servants, the doctors, has done all they know how to do as human beings. But O Father dear, You have purchased their healing. And I pray that their faith will not be moved. Now they will accept, and believe, and both will be made well; in the name of Jesus Christ.
16 And now Satan, to you who has bound these people, you're exposed tonight. You can't hide any longer. You hid from the doctor, but you can't from God. Come out of them. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I ask that you leave.
Now my brother, you go on your road happy, rejoicing. Lay your hand on the wife too, and she will never have to have the operation. And you believe with all your heart, sir. You can receive too. God bless you. Yes, sir. God bless you.
Everyone, are you in love with our Lord Jesus? Oh, how wonderful He is. How His cross should be before us and His crucifixion always knowing that He's there on the cross. He died for us, to purchase our sins. Oh, sinner friend, tonight, won't you flee the wrath to come and will hide yourself in Calvary, there, and take up your membership at some good church and serve God till you die? Won't you do it? Lovely Jesus Christ is here who knows everything, knows all things.
17 The disciples, when they seen Jesus doing His work, as He does tonight, he said, "We know now that no man needs to teach You for by this we believe that Thou art the Christ, the Son of God." Do you believe tonight He is the Christ, the Son of God? Now be real reverent. And would you come.
Now don't move, friends, because these demons that leave the people, go from one to another. Any Bible student knows that. And you're subject to them. And if you're a critic, I would certainly be in prayer. Because if you only knew how many times that hundreds of people sit right in the meeting, take epilepsy, cancer, sitting there critical. You see? When the evil spirit leaves a believer, it will hunt a body somewhere, it's got to have it. So be reverent now, and love the Lord with all your heart.
John 16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
18 Now, you come. Do you believe with all your heart? [The sister says, "I sure do."] Then you believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is here to heal, or to reveal Himself? He has already healed the people. You believe that? Yes ma'am. Well, that's very fine. Now, the Lord Jesus knows you and knows your life, knows all about you. Isn't that right? ["That's right."] And He knows me, He knows all of us.
Now, you have got something in your ... in here, it's a gall bladder trouble. You have trouble eating. Your stomach won't digest your food right. And it's a gall bladder trouble. You've been to a hospital or something for that, and has taken x-rays. I see them taking those tablets, things and they have taken x-ray for that.
19 But you have been in prayer about coming to this meeting. And you said if I would lay my hands on you that you would get healed. Is that the truth. That's in prayer. Now God was there and heard your prayer, see. Do you believe? ["Amen."] That is the truth. Is that right?
And say, I see you a much younger woman one time, you had a great experience. You were healed about, many years ago, probably fifteen, twenty years ago. And I believe you was a tuberculer at that time. Is that right? And you were healed and made well. So are you healed now. Jesus Christ makes her whole. O God, may the evil leave, and may she be made well for God's glory. Amen.
20 Now go rejoicing, sister. Eat now, and enjoy your food. And God bless you. Let's say, "Thanks be to our Lord Jesus." Now it's your mental attitude of approach. Jesus could do not many mighty works because of what? Their unbelief. Are you praying, all out in the audience, everywhere believing?
The man sitting right back there on the end of the row with that rupture, if you will believe brother, you can be healed. Do you believe you're healed now? Well, stand up then. God bless you. I seen a light hanging over you and I seen your ruptured condition. God be with you.
Matthew 13:58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
21 Are you a believer, sir? [The brother says, "Yes, sir.] All right, you and I are strangers to each other. Is that true? Sir, you sitting there that's ready for that operation on your eyes. Sitting right straight down in front of that man there that's fixing to have a operation on his eyes, several rows back, way back, about the middle way here, that's fixing to have an operation. You want to be healed? You're ready for your operation. You accept your healing now, do you sir? The Lord bless you. Go home and be well.
Have faith in God. All things are possible to them that believe. My brother, we being strangers, but Jesus Christ is not a stranger to us. For you are a Christian brother. And you have been to an hospital. And you had an operation for a tumor. ["Yes."] And the tumor was in the stomach. ["Yes."] And they taken it out and you've never been right since. It's just constantly getting worse and worse. ["That's right."] Is that right?
Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
22 And you are a Pentecostal brother. ["Amen."] And you belong to the Polish Pentecostal Church. Is that right? Go on your road and may the Lord Jesus Christ make you [unclear words] and heal you. God grant it, and may our brother [unclear words]. Satan... [Gap in the audio.] God bless you brother. Have faith now. And as you have faith, God will grant.
Will you come, lady. Are you believing with all your heart? You are. If the Holy Spirit of God would be near to... You want to get over that female condition? You do? Just go ahead 'cause you're healed. Jesus Christ has made you... Your faith has saved you, sister.
Now while she was standing here, the confusion just a minute, you had the same thing. So the blessing hit both of you. Do you believe it? Do you believe that abscess is gone from the ovary? If you believe it, go on off the platform and it will stop bothering you. It won't bother you any more.
23 All right now, dad, of course anyone knows and sees that you're a cripple man, we know that. And if I could heal you I would be glad to do it, see. I would be glad. But I can't do that. I'm not able to do that. Or no other man is able to do that. Only the man, Jesus Christ, who has already done it for you. Yes, sir.
But do you believe me to be His servant? [The brother says, "Yes."] You do? And you believe that Jesus Christ, while you're so close to His presence here... Not because that I'm standing here, but because that the people are looking this way and their faith are centered on something. And I'm just a minister of the Gospel. ["I believe that."] See. You believe it with all your heart.
24 Now, you're not from this city, are you? ["No."] You've come from New York." ["Yes, sir."] Is that right? ["Yes, sir."] All right. Now, do you believe now with all your heart, because I told you that, being a stranger? If you believe that, when you get down off the platform, just put your crutch up on your shoulder, go on back to your seat and go back to New York City, and rejoice. And I will meet you there before I go to Africa. Don't doubt. Well now, put your crutch on your shoulder and do as you're told. All right.
Are you believing with all your heart as you come? Oh, how wonderful our Lord Jesus. Always do just exactly what He says do, and you'll find out it's exactly right every time. To disobey... The man has been crippled for sometime, but there he is now, just as normal as any man could be at his age. He's made whole, because he believed. I never healed the man. God healed the man. His faith in God that made him whole.
25 But now you see, what if I'd told him to put that crutch on his shoulder and he would not have done it? He'd a went right back out of there just as crippled, and went back home in a worse shape than he was when he come. See. It's always do just what the inspiration says do. What the Holy Spirit is giving that prophetic utterance, if it surely knows your life, and who you are, and knows what you have been, it will know what you will be. Is that right? Certainly it will.
All right, have faith now. Lady, you suffer with diabetes. Would you like to be made well of that? [The sister says, "Yes."] Will you accept Jesus as your healer now? ["Yes, I will."] Our heavenly Father, I lay my hands in the way of commission by Jesus Christ, that You will heal this woman. May she go and be made well, through Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
26 God bless you now. Do you accept your healing? Now of course you feel different now. See. Because the thing has gone from you. Don't never let up on it, just keep praising God, and going on. And then as you go, don't pay any attention to it, just go on praising God. For the curse is gone from you now. But if you go to feeling symptoms, then you start disbelieving, the unclean spirit comes right back in again. Worse off than you was in the first place. Go thanking God and believing. God bless you.
All right lady, would you like to be healed of that kidney trouble and go home and be well? Would you like it? Well do you believe Jesus had done it for you? Do you accept it now? [The sister says, "Yes, sir."] As you have believed, my sister, so shall it be to you. God bless you.
27 All right, would you come, lady. Would you like to get over the diabetes and female trouble and things that you're bothered with? You'd like to get over that? You accept Jesus now as your healer? With all your heart, you believe He heals you right now? God bless you, sister.
Lord, I pray that Your blessings be upon the woman. May she leave here and receive what she has asked for. Amen. Now if you believe with all your heart it has gone from you now. That's the truth. But now when the unclean spirit's gone out of a person, it walks in dry places, gets seven other spirits and comes back again.
Matthew 12:43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
Luke 11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
28 Now the good man of the house has to stand there to ward off. And the good man of the house is your faith, your faith in Jesus Christ. Well, if He'd come here and do what He's doing for you tonight, and you go disbelieve Him, why it would be sinful. Would that be right? All right, now you go rejoicing.
All right, now, let's say, "Thanks be to God." Do you believe, lady, with all your heart? [A brother asks people not to take pictures.]
Christians, the reason brother said that, the Angel of the Lord, it's a light itself. And it draws from place to place, and a flicker of a light sometimes confuses me. See, while the Angel is moving here on the platform, and then it leaves me, it goes over the audience and I have to watch. And then that light spreads out when I'm in that other world as we would call it, in the vision.
29 Then I see what's taking place and then I'm in that place with the person. And when I'm speaking, I'm conscious, maybe that I'm standing in a hospital in one world, and standing on this platform in another world. So, you understand, it's just right now I'm just getting so weak I... You see the perspiration running off the back of my hands. It's just about to take my life standing here, see.
The prophet Daniel saw one vision, he was troubled at his head for many days. Is that right? You don't... A woman touched His garment and virtue went out, see. And now it wouldn't, touching me wouldn't... But it's your faith in God and I just stand as His representative, you see. And you're pulling and drawing. And what the Father shows me, well, then that I tell the people, you see. I can only do what He tells me to do.
Daniel 7:15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.
Mark 5:30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?
Luke 8:46 And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.
30 How do you do, lady? Excuse me I, sometimes it's kind of a subconscious. Could you imagine standing somewhere and be standing here, and be way off somewhere else, and knowing that you're looking at something, and then standing in that world, and know it's your voice that's coming back in another world before a audience of people? You don't know how loud you're talking or nothing.
It's vision, it's a... If there's a scientific person wants... It's another dimension, to the scientific world. These three mortals live in, but the other, God lives in it, see, and it's in a dual. There's nothing you can do about it. See. You can't help it. I want to rest just a moment, if you will excuse me.
31 How many in here ever dreamed a dream, let's see your... Now see, there's at least two-thirds of the people dream dreams. That's about normally. About one-third out of a audience of this size, doesn't dream dreams. There's many people that has never had a dream in their life. What is a dream? It's your subconscious.
Now, say here's a normal man standing here, the first conscience, and here's his subconscious. When this becomes inactive while he's in sleep, why this one becomes active. While he's in this one he can dream about things he did in this conscience. Then when this one is inactive, he comes back into this conscience.
32 And many of you people that dream dreams, remember things that you dreamed about years and years ago. Is that right? Well, you were somewhere. There was some part about you that was somewhere, or it wouldn't be recorded in your memory. Is that right? Now, God does--God does deal in dreams, but it's not too active, you see, unless there be an interpreter, like Joseph or some ... and the patriarchs. And king Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams and Daniel interpreted.
And the Bible said in the last days that the old men would dream dreams again, and the young men would see visions. Now, now, perhaps, maybe the man that doesn't dream a dream, his subconscious would be way back, like over there at the wall. He sleeps real sound. A dreamer doesn't sleep sound. But now the one with his subconscious way back, he never gets back to it, he just sleeps through.
Daniel 2:1 And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, wherewith his spirit was troubled, and his sleep brake from him.
Daniel 2:30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.
Daniel 4:5 I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and the visions of my head troubled me.
Daniel 4:19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
Joel 2:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
33 Now, but a seer, his subconscious is not back there neither is it here, but it's right here. Now he can't help that, that's election and calling of God. The persons make-up was that, God intended that before the foundation of the world was ever put in order, see.
Now no matter how much this fellow here that dreams a dream would try to keep from dreaming a dream, he couldn't do it. And neither could ... If I say to you people that dream dreams, "Dream me a dream," well, you couldn't do it. No you can't do it. Yet, you do dream dreams.
That's the way with me, I can't do nothing until I see it. Now right here I do not go to sleep. But it's just like a sleep. You break over into something else and you see what's taking place. And yet you're so conscious, not asleep, but you're so conscious that you know you're standing here on the platform, yet you're in, like a dream land.
34 And you're seeing the patient that's before you, what's taking place. Well, you're just talking, then when you come back sometimes you don't even remember what it was. You understand? Now that's what affect you can imagine what that would have upon a human being, see. But what is it? It's all the sovereignty and the election of God, see. It's God who does it.
Now, would you come, young lady, if you will. Now I suppose that we are strangers. I do not know you. God only knows you, I do not. But our Heavenly Father knows you. And we be here, you in Chicago and me from Jeffersonville would be about three hundred miles apart. We've probably never seen one another or nothing in life. But God knows you, see.
35 And do you believe that He's able to reveal to me through His Spirit what's wrong with you? Do you believe that? ["Amen."] And if it is the truth, you will witness the truth. ["Yes."] Course if it isn't the truth, then it isn't the truth, and I'd be found a false apostle or false teacher. Is that right? ["Yes."]
You're not standing here for yourself. ["No."] You're standing here for a mother. And that mother has a cancer. And she has some kind of spells like, it's convulsions. Is that right? And haven't you got somebody with you, a sister about your age? Is that right? And you're from New York, ["That's right."] Rochester. Is that right? Go find your mother now and I trust that she will be well when you find her. God bless you my sister, and may God be with you.
36 How do you do? ["How do you do?"] Do you believe with all your...? ["I know."] You know. Well that's very... I love to hear that--I know. I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded He's able to keep that which I've committed unto Him against the day. Is that right? ["That's right."] Now this is a perfect view again of one man standing at a well and a woman. Two different races of people and yet He showed there that God was no respect of person.
And she said, "Why the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. But He knew. And after talking to her a while He found what was wrong with her. Is that right? ["That's right."] And He will know the same thing for you. ["That's right."] You ... there's something about blood. I see it moving, you're bleeding. ["Yes."] Yes. Oh it's cancer in the glands. Is that right? ["That's right."] You have a high blood too. ["Uh-huh."] And you belong to the Methodist church, don't you? Is that right? ["That's right."]
John 4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
37 Lord, be merciful I pray. Spare our sister's life. And may this Devil that has taken a hold of her to send her to a premature grave, may he leave her tonight. In obedience to the Gospel I lay hands on her and say, "Leave her, Satan, in Jesus Christ's name, you who are called cancer." Amen. Go rejoicing sister, and as you believe, so it will be to you.
How do you do, young fellow? What do you think about all this? Do you believe the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God raised from the dead? ["I sure do."] You do? Do you believe that He is here now and that it's His works, it's not ours, it's His, isn't it? ["That's right."] You have a heart trouble. ["Yes."] And that was rheumatic fever. ["Yes."]
38 And wasn't you in the navy? ["Yes."] That's where you got it, wasn't it, as a sailor? But let's leave it here tonight at Calvary. Will you do it?
My God, have mercy and bless this boy and heal him, Father, I pray in Jesus Christ's name. Amen. God bless you, brother. Go rejoicing and happy. Don't doubt nothing and you shall have it.
Come lady. Do you believe? Would you like to get over the diabetes? [The sister says, "Yes."] Go accept your healing through Calvary, you shall have it. All right, come believing now with all your heart.
How do you do, sir? You want to go eat your supper and enjoy it? Well, just go do it. If you believe Jesus Christ you can do it and be made well. God bless you, brother.
39 Don't worry, you had heart trouble too, but don't think nothing about it, see. Go on believing with... Do you believe, lady, with...?
Lord Jesus, I pray that You will heal the woman. May she go from here tonight rejoicing and happy; in Jesus' name. Amen. Now go, doubt nothing, just rejoice and say, "Thank You, Lord Jesus."
Do you want to get over the heart trouble, too? [The sister says, "Yes."] Do you accept your healing now from Jesus Christ? ["Yes."] God bless her who I bless in Thy name. May she go in Jesus' name and be made well. Amen. God bless you, sister. See, it's not my prayer, it's your faith. It's faith that does it. Although He told me to be sincere.
40 And Christian friends I'm as sincere as I know how to be before Him, because some of these people it's somebody's mother. Here perhaps stands someone's mother now. What if that was my mother, and some man was praying for my mother? I'd sure want him to be sincere. I'd sure want him to do... And as I do to God's people, I am serving God. "Insomuch as you have done it unto the least of these My little ones, you have done it unto Me." Is that right?
Listen, here's a lovely thing, as you serve one another, you're serving God. See. The love of God is in every Christian heart. And be kind to one another. Forgive one another. If you don't see the Scriptures just alike, well you believe anyhow and pray for the other person and just love one another. You will find there's no greater evidence of a Christian in the world, than love.
Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
41 Now lady, do you believe that arthritis left you, standing there? Raise up your hands. Stomp your feet up and down. It has see, now just go on off the platform rejoicing and thanking God.
And the same thing for you. Now just go on, God made you well while you were sitting there.
Let's say, "Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." Isn't He wonderful?
Look this way, lady, sitting there praying with the dropsy, sitting right back there. You were saying a prayer then, not saying a prayer, you were praying, because you're a Christian. You have heart trouble that's caused dropsy. Is that right? You believe Jesus Christ heals you now? All right, as you have believed so be it unto you.
42 Now just a moment, there's a vision near the lady. Oh, it's the lady next to her suffering with nervousness. Isn't that, lady? Isn't that right, you have a nervous condition? Say, aren't you a nurse? Is that right? Well, if it is raise up your hand and wave it like that. I thought you were, I seen you in your clothes. Go home now, tonight, rejoicing because you won't be bothered with it no more.
And say nurse, while you've got your hand up, there's a poor lady laying right next to you there, then she's got lung trouble. Would you lay your hand over on her? Is that right, lady? Lay your hand over on one another there so... And the little lady next her there, she is a little gray-headed woman. Yes, look this way lady. I want you... You have a hernia, don't you? A hernia. The little lady... Yes ma'am. A little hernia. Is that right? If it is wave your hand.
43 Now you lay your hands over on the other lady like that. Lord Jesus, we pray that You will heal them and may they go home seeing Your Spirit move down that line and heal those people. May they be blessed with the everlasting blessings of God. In Jesus' name I ask it. Amen.
All right. Oh, how wonderful our Lord Jesus is. Do you believe with all your heart? Somebody in these sections, over in this way go to believing with all your heart, so you may be healed. God can make everyone well. Don't you believe that? Certainly, He can.
When I spoke rupture a few moments ago the lady sitting right there, yeah, you felt strange didn't you? It left you right then. The lady next to you there, with that arthritis, also. You believe that God made you well too? You accept it? God bless you. It left you just then.
44 See friends, you don't have to have prayer cards and be on the platform. Jesus Christ is all over the building, you see. He's all over the world. Are you believing? All right, have faith and believe.
How do you do, young man. Do you believe with all your heart? [The brother says, "Yes."] You believe the Lord Jesus is here to heal you and to make you well? ["Yes."] And you would like to get over this condition, this stomach condition, be made well? And you have something that bothers you. Could I speak to you away from the microphone just a moment?
Isn't that the truth? Now you know no one knows that but God alone. Is that right? ["That's right."] If that's right hold up your hand. Now that's a demon that's tormenting you, son. And you will never get rid of it. There's not a medicine in the world could touch it because it's supernatural.
45 Do you believe that God gave the commission to His Church to cast out devils? ["Yes."] And you believe if this church all around here will bind their prayers with me and pray for you, that that demon will leave you and never bother you no more? It's a horrible thing. It will drive you insane, you know that. You've been bothered with it all along. It's just something that's handed down to you. Nothing can take place only God.
Will you believe if I will ask God? I can't heal you, Son. It can leave you now. That's right. He couldn't stand before a sincere prayer, no, sir. Why he's exposed. I never seen you in my life. But God knows, and you know that's a secret to people. Isn't that right? ["Yes."] If that's the truth raise your hand. No one knows that, God knows that. And here He is standing here revealing things.
Now, you accept it, will you? And I want the church to bow their heads and pray with me, with this young man.
46 Heavenly Father, to see this young man standing here bound with this demon that's bothered him since a child. But, O God, the Author of life, send mercy to this boy. And I pray that you will heal his condition, Lord. Make him well so he can eat and enjoy his meals again.
And Father, I pray that You will take this demon away from him. Thou demon, as a Church of the living God we stand as a representative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, come out of the boy. We adjure thee to leave him in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now look here young man, you're free now. Go thanking God and saying, "Praise God." God will grant and make you well. Amen. Have faith in God. Only God can do it. Isn't that right? Only God. But believe with all your heart. God will heal and make well.
47 You want to get over that prostate trouble, sir, sitting there? Yes sir. You're sitting this way. You was praying a few moments ago. When I looked your way I seen the Angel of Lord standing above you. And I seen you were ready for an operation of prostate trouble. Isn't that right, sir? Do you want to accept your healing? Raise your hands up to Jesus Christ, say, "I accept my healing." Do you? God bless you. Thou has believed right, you won't need any operation. God bless you.
Have faith in God. What do you think, lady, sitting there with the diabetes, sitting there? Would you like to get over it too? The lady... Yes, would you like to get over that diabetes? Well, He's standing right near you now. Why don't you accept your healing? Will you do it? God bless you.
That colored lady sitting next to you has a rupture also. Would you like to get over that, lady? Yes, God bless you. Go and may the Holy Spirit heal you. It goes to another lady. A gray-headed woman sitting there, a colored gray-headed woman. She has hernia also. Sitting over there with the hay fever, sir, you want to get over it and be made well? You do? All right, your friend sitting there was praying for you. God make you well is my prayer. Believe, have faith in God.
48 Is this the patient? Excuse me, sir. Do you believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is present to heal the sick and the afflicted? [The brother says, "Amen."] If I didn't say one word to you, yet you'd believe anyhow, would you? ["Amen."] That's the way to believe it, my brother. You've been very sick. It's an intestinal operation of cancer. It's true. And aren't you some kind of a teacher, or something like Bible teacher or expositor or something? ["On the side."] On the side. Yes, sir.
And say, you've come from the Moody Bible School. Is that right? That's right. But you don't mind. You sat and prayed if I'd lay hands on you, you'd get well. ["Amen."] Is that right? ["Amen."] Come here.
49 God spare the man's life and may he take the message and be made well. God grant this the springing board into that great fundamental school. God, in Jesus' name, heal him I pray. Amen. God be with you, brother. Go rejoicing now and believe it.
Believest thou all things that the Scripture has said?
How do you do, sir? Is this the patient? You believe, sir? Oh, you're here for a good cause. Yes sir, you have ... you're some kind of a man. I see a railroad running by with a tra... You're a switchman or was, on a railroad. [The brother says, "That's right."] Is that right? And your nerves caused you to have to give your job up or something. ["Yes."] And that caused from drinking. ["They discharged me."] Yes sir, alcoholic. ["Twenty-seven years."] God be merciful to you, sir. You know it has left you. It went then. Return back to your job and God be with you.
50 Believest thou this? Do you believe Jesus Christ is here to heal every sick person in the building? Let's bow our heads just a moment. Organ, would you play just a moment?
The great Physician now is near,
The sympathizing Jesus,
He speaks the drooping hearts to cheer,
No other name but Jesus.
O Lord, who sent Jesus Christ Your Son to us to redeem us from our sins and to heal us of our sicknesses. We most humbly accept His offer to us tonight, pardon of our sins. And gladly do we renounce our infirmities upon His suffering there at Calvary, when those great lashes was laid into His back and His poor bleeding back sticking to the cross. By His stripes we are healed said the prophet. I pray Thee God to let that vision be before every eye in here. And may every sick person in this building be healed tonight.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
51 May every sinner now be ashamed, knowing that Jesus the resurrected Lord has walked these streets by their sides, watched over them and guided them into the building tonight. May they become Your servants, Lord. Grant it just now. And may every person that is not borned-again of the Spirit of God, may they be filled with the Holy Spirit this very hour.
And now Lord, to the needy that's sick sitting here, many of Your children, Thy Spirit is here to reveal and to explain and to make true the Bible in living words. Almighty God, hear the prayer of Your servant as I cry with all my heart. And I ask You to be merciful.
And now Father, if Thy servant has found grace in Thy sight, answer prayer at this hour. Hear me Lord. I pray that You will grant it. And at this very crucial moment when demons are trembling, people making their decision just now, and thoughts running through their heart, as they have seen You in the building tonight, moving among the people.
52 God, I pray that You will rebuke every unclean spirit, every devil, every sickness. And may the power of the living God set every person here free tonight. May there not be a feeble one among us tonight when we leave this building. And may we say as we go to our different homes, like the disciples that came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us?" Grant it, Lord.
And now Father, if Thy servant has found favor in Your sight, may You hear my prayer now, as I go forward in this challenge of faith. Lord, as Christians with their heads bowed and prayers going to You, I come in this challenging name.
Satan, you who have bound these people, you're exposed tonight. Your grips are lost. You have no legal authority at all. Jesus Christ robbed you, and stripped you at Calvary. And we come as the church of the living God and in the name of Jesus Christ, I adjure thee to leave every person in the building. Come out of the people, thou demons. I adjure thee by the living God, leave.
Luke 24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
