Just One Touch

MATTHEW 9

20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood

twelve years

, came behind [him], and touched the

hem of his garment:

21 For she

said within herself,

If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. 22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

And God's power is limited to your faith in it.

See? That's the only limit it has, is your faith. And if... All things are possible to them that will believe it. See? There's a great God in heaven, and if we could only get in contact,

like a direct line to Him,

things are possible. See? But we must all come in contact with Him, with no static nowhere,

just a clear channel between us and God.

ABOUT.JESUS_ MACON.GA SUNDAY_ 55-0612

Something's got to happen.

Brother, them thoughts are moving together.

There's faith met the--met its course there, right in that Man there, the resource, the God of heaven standing there, inveiled in flesh. There's that woman standing there with perfect faith in Him.

And the wheels are moving together.

"I know that whatever You ask God, God will give it."

ABOUT.JESUS_ MACON.GA SUNDAY_ 55-0612

Brother, something's got to take place when the

believer gets in contact with his Maker.

Something takes place. Amen. Something's got to take place.

IDENTIFICATION_ TULARE.CA V-22 N-14 SUNDAY_ 64-0216

You see this woman setting right down here? I don't know the little soul; she's just setting there.

But somehow she's in contact with God, 'cause in the dimension that I'm now looking in, I see the woman.

IDENTIFICATION_ TULARE.CA V-22 N-14 SUNDAY_ 64-0216

And she's conscious that something's going on. She's praying for her children,

who's not here.

That is right. I don't know her. I've never seen the woman. But she was deeply concerned about some children.

IDENTIFICATION_ TULARE.CA V-22 N-14 SUNDAY_ 64-0216

Do you believe me to be His servant? Do you believe that--

that Jesus Christ is here, the Holy Spirit,

Who... You see if we can get ourselves out of the way... See, now, to heal you, I can't (See?), or to give you your desire, I can't. See, that has to come through God, 'less He'd tell me to tell you something. Now, but if He can reveal to me what's the matter with that child, or whatever it is, you--you will believe me to be His servant? You will?

COUNTDOWN.THE_ SHREVEPORT.LA SUNDAY_ 62-1125E

Here's a lady setting right back here, looking right at me. Don't you see that Light over that lady there, there? Look at... See?

She's a stranger to me, but she's touched Him. She's in contact.

He's moved right over where she's at, the Spirit of God. The lady's suffering with a lump in her breast. That's right. She's not from here either. You're from Arkansas. You believe God can tell me who you are? Mrs. Sytack. Astronaut...

Praying for a loved one, aren't you? Got cancer. Dorothy Driscoll, just believe and have faith. It'll happen.

COUNTDOWN.THE_ SHREVEPORT.LA SUNDAY_ 62-1125E

Tumor on the breast, lump. Miss Dickerson, if you'll believe with all your heart, God will take it away from you. I don't know her, never seen her in my life. That's right, isn't it? You see what I mean? You believe?

E-65 Azusa street never seen those things. That hasn't been since Christ was on earth.

And Christ is on earth now in the form of the Holy Spirit in Its Fullness, trying to get you away from these earth-bound things, to lift you up into His Presence.

"He that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Do you believe that?

WHEN.THEIR.EYES.WERE.OPENED_ SPINDALE.NC FRIDAY_ 56-0420

E-71 You got back trouble too, haven't you? internal troubles too. You just been down a long time; you just got up out of a bed to come here (That's right.), walking on that stick. You're believing God's going to make you well, aren't you? All right. When the service is over just throw your old cane, or crutch, back under there, and just go ahead home (See?), having faith.

You contacted Him just praying that way.

BELIEVE.YE.THAT.I.CAN.DO.THIS?_ LA.CA WEDNESDAY_ 51-0509

E-64 Bring the lady, come. Now, everyone just as reverent as you can be now. Our sister, you... Do you believe that--that I have been truthful and honest about these things? You do. Yes, I perceive that you're a good believer. I say that, so I can contact or have a conversation with you. See? Just to talk to you. And I don't know you. If I ever seen you, I don't know it. But then I'm just trying to--enough till I can see what's wrong with you, and then--and ask God to help you. And by that, I just have to keep talking until He takes over. It's near.

BELIEVE.YE.THAT.I.CAN.DO.THIS?_ LA.CA WEDNESDAY_ 51-0509

Now, you're conscious that there's Something near you now. Isn't that right? And just in the last few moments, or few seconds,

you begin to feel a kind of a sacred awe. Isn't that right? Now, that is your faith. It's come in contact with the Angel of the Lord, which is pulling It down on me.

See? Now, you believe me? You'd like to get rid of that tumor, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you love it? Huh? Do you believe if I'll ask Him, He will? Come, sister.

WHO.HATH.BELIEVED.OUR.REPORT_ HAMMOND.IN SUNDAY_ 52-0720E

E-36 Now, the man can't hide his life from me, 'cause that's a Divine gift. But whether he's healed or not, that'll be up to God. See? I--I have nothing to do with it. See? I can pray for him, that's all.

Now, sir, now stand right around this way, if you will, so I can just talk to you, just to look at you, just a few moments. And you and I will talk, just like Jesus and the woman at the well. See? We'll begin talking, and then--and then, after while,

you'll begin to recognize that something's taking place.

WHO.HATH.BELIEVED.OUR.REPORT_ HAMMOND.IN SUNDAY_ 52-0720E

And when you do,

it'll be His Presence,

then your human spirit and my human spirit will be coming in contact, and then it'll be something, ever what's wrong with you, and this Angel of the Lord, standing here,

there'll be two more Beings (See?) speaking.

Now, depends on... I have faith to believe that He will.

If I can get you to have faith, it'll happen.

If it doesn't, well I--I can't--I can't do it. You see? I can't do a thing, but just tell you what He shows me.

GREATER.THAN.SOLOMON.IS.HERE_ GRANDE.PRAIRIE.AB MONDAY_ 61-0515

E-13 But watch in the meetings, whenever you hear... When the discernment is on, He's telling you;

you're doing that yourself.

You don't know it, but it's your own spirit, like the woman touching His garment.

But when He speaks back, that's what you're pulling, yourself, from God.

PARADOX.A_ PHOENIX.AZ V-19 N-1 SUNDAY_ 65-0117

25 If you're sick, I wished I could heal you, but no man can do that. It's already done.

Healing lies in you. It's your faith in the finished works

that God did on Calvary with Jesus Christ. And outside of that, there is no healing; outside of that there is no salvation. No church, no denomination, no ritual, nothing packs salvation. Jesus Christ, "He was wounded for our transgressions; with His stripes we were healed.

But now real genuine faith doesn't have to touch none of that stuff.

STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M

But what I'm trying to say: that--that faith doesn't need anything. See?

Faith believes God's Word.

For faith cometh by touching? No.

"Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing the Word of God." That anchors it.

It's there. See? And faith, as I said, has no distance to it. Faith is right now. Faith is here.

STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M

19-1 Now, like if there's somebody... That little baby the other day, that mother that Sister Kidd and them talked about, that had that little baby with the bowels out, with no opening at the rectum to pass the food through... Now, this lady, hearing Sister Kidd and them testify,

believed that if she could get in contact, and I'd pray for that baby...

Now, see, God gives us people...

STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M

Some of us have experiences with God so--so real, that God becomes just like--going here like and talking to Brother Neville or somebody that you're acquainted with. And we sometimes ask those people to pray for us. That's what we're supposed to do.

Then if we've got faith that that man, or woman, or whoever's praying for us, is talking to God, then our faith is gripped; it's clenched; it's settled.

STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M

20-2 Omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, infinite, that's God. So when they make a phone call and say, "Pray," that contacts, and your faith brings God.

It's a thing that brings the prayer and God together on the scene. Prayer, faith changes from here to here. It brings it together.

STATURE.OF.A.PERFECT.MAN_ JEFF.IN V-2 N-18 SUNDAY_ 62-1014M

"Speak the word. All I want you to do is say the Word, and everything's all right." See? He didn't have to be there. Just say the word. Why? God is omnipresent. He's all powerful. And He's just as powerful beneath the world as He was on top the world, or on either side. He's God. "And the only thing You have to do is just speak the word," he said.

And now, faith does the rest of it; faith does the rest.

So you must have faith for a foundation. All Christianity, all you are, all you'll ever be, is based upon faith in the Word.

INFALLIBLE.WORD.OF.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 56-0406

E-8 If the man is here tonight, I hope he doesn't take this as an offense. I hope he takes it in--in the way of--of love. A fellow called me up; he said, "Brother Branham, I'd like to make a contact with you." I said, "Well, I'll tell you, brother; I don't have anything to do with the appointments, and especially while we're having healing services. I kinda stay alone most of the day and pray, study, submitting myself, and yielding myself to the Holy Spirit."

INFALLIBLE.WORD.OF.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 56-0406

He said, "But I--I--I want to make a

contact with you the way you make a contact on the platform."

I said, "What's the matter?" He said, "Well, I've got a loved one that's sick." And said, "I--I--I want them healed." And I said, "Well now, you know I'm not the healer."

INFALLIBLE.WORD.OF.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 56-0406

And he said, "Well, I--I--I want to make the contact the way them people does out in the audience." And make the contact 'cause he'd notice many people that had come from his community that had been healed by that, just making the contact. I said,

"Brother, it's not contacting me; I'm sure. It's contacting Christ." He said, "How do I do that?"

INFALLIBLE.WORD.OF.GOD_ CHICAGO.IL FRIDAY_ 56-0406

I said, "By believing Him." That's right.

By believing and resting your faith upon His finished works; that's it. And every true, genuine, gift of God will point to Calvary on the finished works of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There's no one can heal; there's no one can save; there's no one can add one thing to salvation, not a thing.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

135 Now, watch.

Perfect faith is pure, just as pure as love is.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

...and you know you do it.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

And there's

something real,

that you can't show it to somebody else, yet you got it, and your actions prove it.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

138 And when you got pure, unadulterated faith, like your love is to your companion, then you prove it by the way you act.

You ain't complaining no more; you know it's done; just walk along.

No matter what the things look like, what anybody else says, you know what's happened.

You know that it's finished,

just as well as you know you love your husband, as well as you know you love... See, love and faith has to go together. They're kinfolks; they love.

Love produces faith.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

139 When Satan tempts us, we are to resist him in a perfect faith in a perfect Word, like Jesus did. The Word of God is perfect.

We're to have perfect faith in this perfect Word and resist Satan.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

By His faith in--in His Word we--He conquer- we can conquer anything, both death, hell, and the grave. We know that God is God, that perfect faith in God's perfect Word, He conquered everything that He come in contact with. Death could not even stand in His Presence. Sickness could not stand in His Presence.

Flowing from Him was like rivers of virtue, going out constantly, virtue going from His garment.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

These people, laid in His shadows, just put their finger on His garment and was healed. When that woman done that, then everybody wanted to touch His garment, 'cause

they seen that there was virtue going from Him constantly, flowed like rivers.

There He was, walking,

walking in a world of perfect faith, because He was the Word.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

And now, "If ye abide in Me (Through Him, He brought the Word to you.), and My Words abide in you,"

then walk in the same kind of a way: virtues flowing from you, the rivers of God's fountains of blessing just flowing out to the people.

See what I mean? And you're not bluffing it; you're not imagining it. It's actually taking place, and you see it. If you're just imagining it, that don't do any good; but if it's really there, it really happened.

They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

He knowed He was the holy One.

He knowed Who He was.

PERFECT.FAITH_ JEFF.IN V-6 N-11 SUNDAY_ 63-0825E

146 You're a Christian. You have rights to any redemptive blessing that Jesus died for you for. It's all yours.

It's already paid for; you just have to believe it, not imagine it; but believe it, and know that it's yours, and you can possess it.

Oh, that's the conquering faith...

I John 5:4

For

whatsoever is born of God

overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world,

even our faith.
