[Nasleduje osobný rozhovor, ktorý brat Branham viedol so sestrou Georgiou Bruceovou počas služby piesní pred kázňou „Majstrovské dielo“ 5.7.1964, v ktorej sa na tento rozhovor odvoláva v odseku 57.]
Vtedy som ťa navštívil v nemocnici. A neustále som sa modlil, aby ťa Boh nenechal zomrieť, lebo si pre cirkev veľmi cenná. Teraz ťa poznám. Viem, že budeš v poriadku, sestra Bruceová. Verím tomu z celého srdca.
2 [Sestra Georgia Bruce hovorí, „Brat Branham, najviac zo všetkého chcem zažiť, že som bola zapečatená v Duchu Svätom. A ak to Boh zjaví tvojmu srdcu!“ - pozn.prekl.]
3 Verím z celého srdca, že si skutočne znovuzrodená veriaca, sestra Bruceová. Ako by ten Duch mohol jednoducho odísť? Keď ochorieš, si unavená. A si nervózny typ človeka. [Sestra Bruceová hovorí, „Áno.“ - pozn.prekl.] A... a máš veci na mysli, vidíš, malé drobnosti. To sa jednoducho hromadí, v oboch smeroch. Máš niekoho na srdci, chceš sa za neho modliť, vstať a modliť sa za to. Nemôžeš odpočívať, kým sa za tú osobu nepomodlíš. Taká si. Potom, na druhej strane, Satan ti možno predloží niečo, čo ty... a takto. Potom Boh... To je tvoja prirodzenosť. A Boh koná. A Satan koná, a potom, keď sa ťa Satan snaží presvedčiť, že nie si. Rozumieš? Stále to hromadíš, toto, a možno toto a toto. Nehľaď na seba, sestra Bruceová. Pamätaj si to.
4 Chystám sa za teba modliť. Nie som toho hoden. Myslím si, „Čo by som urobil, keby tu teraz sedel Ježiš Kristus? A čo by urobil On, keby tu sedel?“ Položil by na teba ruky a Svojou veľkou vierou by ťa uzdravil. „No,“ myslím si, „no, som hriešnik. Nie som On.“ Ale prišiel som Ho reprezentovať. Ale pamätaj, ako hriešnik; a pred Bohom nie som hriešnik, a ani ty nie si. Leží Tam za nás Krvavá Obeť. Boh nás ani nevidí. Počuje náš hlas, ale vidí Kristovu krv. To je ono. Rozumieš? Vidí Krv Svojho vlastného Syna. Je to náš hlas; Kristova Krv; potom je to Kristus, kto hovorí skrze nás k Bohu, a preto už nie sme hriešnikmi. Sme kresťania. Verím, že si skutočná Kresťanka. Spomínam si na tú vec...
5 [Sestra Bruceová hovorí, „Robím toľko chýb a toľkokrát zlyhávam.“ - pozn.prekl.]
6 Preto musel Kristus zomrieť, aby ti tvoje chyby neboli pripísané. Vidíš? On vzal tvoje chyby na Seba. Tvojou túžbou v srdci je slúžiť Mu. [Sestra Bruce hovorí, „Áno.“ - pozn.prekl.] V poriadku. Preto zomrel, aby si Mu mohla slúžiť. Vidíš? Nie... Na tvoje chyby sa nepozerá, nie sú ti pripísané. Rozumieš? On je tvoja Obeť zmierenia. Rozumieš? On je tvoja Obeť za hriechy. Tvoje hriechy nie sú známe. Pred Bohom nie si hriešnikom. Kristus vzal tvoje hriechy a stal sa tebou. Lebo tvojou túžbou je slúžiť Mu.
7 [Sestra Bruceová hovorí, „Ale ja som nikdy nemala takú skúsenosť, že by som bola naplnená Duchom Svätým, na ktorú by som sa mohla spoľahnúť.“ - pozn.prekl.]
8 V poriadku. Všimni si toto. Zvyčajne sa človek narodí v hriechu, je formovaný v neprávosti, prichádza na svet a hovorí lži. To je povaha človeka. [Sestra Bruceová hovorí, „Áno.“ - pozn.prekl.] To bola tvoja povaha. Raz sa to zmenilo. Ale čo to zmenilo? [„Kristus.“] Presne tak, sestra. Rozumieš? To je ono.
9 „Kto počúva Moje slová a verí v Toho, kto ma poslal, má večný život a neprijde na súd, ale má,“ minulý čas, „prešiel zo smrti do života.“ Ján 5:24, hovorí Ježiš. Vidíš?
10 Takže ty, ty si – ty si kresťanka, sestra Bruceová. Sledoval som tvoj život. Sledoval som ťa vo videní a viem, že si Kresťanka. Ani štipka... Rozumieš, som tvoj pastier, tak povediac, [Sestra Bruceová hovorí, „Áno.“ - pozn.prekl.] niekto, kto môže pomôcť. Ak by som mal nejaké pochybnosti, ak by som si myslel, že s tebou niečo nie je v poriadku, povedal by som ti to, sestra Bruceová. [„Verím tomu.“] Ale ak je v tvojom živote niečo zlé, ak je niečo zlé medzi tebou a Bohom, pokiaľ o tom niečo viem, sestra Bruceová, nie je tam nič. Nie je tam ani jedna vec.
11 Budeme sa modliť.
12 [Sestra Bruceová hovorí, „Samozrejme, zomriem, ak sa Boh nepostará o moje srdce.“ - pozn.prekl.]
13 Nemyslím si, že zomrieš, sestra Bruceová. Ak áno, je to predo mnou skryté. [Sestra Bruceová hovorí, „Ďakujem ti, brat.“ - pozn.prekl.]
14 Drahý Bože, táto skromná žena neustále, neustále konala dobro. [Sestra Bruceová hovorí, „Ó, Bože!“ - pozn.prekl.] Je skúšaná, ako kedysi Dorcas. A teraz prežíva obdobie, keď je jej srdce vo veľmi zlom stave. [„Ó!“] Ale či nehovorilo Tvoje Slovo, do ktorého vkladáme celú svoju dušu a myseľ, že všetko pôsobí na dobré tým, ktorí Ťa milujú? Potom to musí byť tak, že robíš niečo, o čom my nevieme nič. [„Vďaka Bohu!“] Všetko je to na dobré, lebo ona Ťa miluje.
15 Teraz, pred veľkým Pastierom nás všetkých, Pánom Ježišom Kristom, a v Jeho Mene, kladiem ruky na svoju sestru. Nech Boh, ktorý ju stvoril a priviedol na túto zem, nech Jeho Duch, ktorý ju oddelil od vecí tohto sveta, aby bola Tvojou služobníčkou, nech uzdraví jej choré telo a urobí ju úplne zdravou. Lebo ju potrebujeme v službe, Pane. Zverujem ju Tebe s touto modlitbou viery, s rukami položenými na nej, aby som sa stotožnil na modlitbe a povedal tejto hore, „V Mene Ježiša Krista, pohni sa,“ aby naša sestra mohla žiť pre Božie kráľovstvo a na Božiu slávu.
1 [The following is a personal interview Brother Branham had with Sister Georgia Bruce during the song service preceding the Message, "The Masterpiece" during which he refers to this interview in paragraph 57--Ed.]
I visited you in the hospital that time. And I prayed, constantly, God wouldn't let you die, 'cause you're a value to the church. Now, I know you. I know you're going to be all right, Sister Bruce. I believe that with all my heart, see.
[Sister Georgia Bruce says, "Brother Branham, most of all, I want the experience that I been sealed in the Holy Ghost. And if God will reveal it to your heart!"--Ed.]
I believe, with all my heart, that you are a real born-again believer, Sister Bruce. How could that Spirit just leave? When you get sick, you get weary. And you're a nervous-type person. [Sister Bruce says, "Yes."--Ed.] See? And--and you get things on your mind, see, little bitty things. It just keeps building up, both ways. You'll get somebody on your heart, you want to pray for them, get up and pray for it. You can't rest till you get that person prayed for. That's you. Then, take on the other side, Satan maybe might present something that you... and out this way. See? Then God... You, you're a nature. And God works. And Satan works, then when Satan tries to make you believe that you are not. See? You keep building This, and maybe this and this. See? Don't look at yourself, Sister Bruce. Remember.
2 I'm fixing to pray for you. I'm not worthy of that. I think, "What would I do if Jesus Christ was sitting here now? And what would He do if He was sitting here?" He'd lay His hands upon you, and with His great faith, see, you'd get well. "Well," I think, "well, I'm a sinner. I'm not Him." But I come to represent Him. But, remember, me being a sinner; and before God, I'm not a sinner, neither are you. We got a Blood Sacrifice laying There. God don't even see us. He hears our voice, but He sees the Blood of Christ. That's it. See? He sees the Blood of His Own Son. It's our voice; Christ's Blood; then it's Christ that's talking through us, to God, so therefore we're not sinners no more. We are Christian. I believe you to be a genuine Christian woman. I remember the thing...
3 [Sister Bruce says, "I make so many mistakes, and I fail so many times."--Ed.]
That's why Christ had to die, so that you, with your mistakes, wouldn't be lotted to you. See? He took your mistakes. Your desire in your heart is to serve Him. [Sister Bruce says, "Yes."--Ed.] All right. That's what He died for, so you could serve Him. See? Not... Your mistakes are not looked, not lotted to you. See? He is your propitiation. See? He is your sin-offering. Your sins are not known. You're not a sinner, before God. Christ took your sins, and became you. Cause, your desire is to serve Him.
4 [Sister Bruce says, "But I've never had an experience that I have been filled the Holy Ghost, that I could put my foot on."--Ed.]
All right. Notice this. Ordinarily, a human being is born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world, speaking lies. That's the nature of a human being. [Sister Bruce says, "Yes."--Ed.] That was your nature. It changed once. But what changed it? ["Christ."] There you are, sister. See? That's it.
"He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Eternal Life, and shall not come to the Judgment; but hath," past tense, "passed from death to Life." Saint John 5:24, Jesus speaking. See?
So, you, you're--you're a Christian, Sister Bruce. I've watched your life. I've watched you, under vision, and I know you're a Christian. See? Not one speck of... See, I am your shepherd, as it was, [Sister Bruce says, "Yes."--Ed.] somebody to help. See? If there was any doubt in my mind, if I thought you was something was wrong, I'd tell you, Sister Bruce. ["I believe that."] But if there's anything wrong, in your experience, anything wrong between you and God, as far as I know anything about it, Sister Bruce, there's not a thing. There's not one thing.
We're going to pray.
5 [Sister Bruce says, "Course, I'm going to die, unless God undertakes for the heart."--Ed.]
You're not going to die, I don't think, Sister Bruce. If it is, it's hid from me. [Sister Bruce says, "Thank you, brother."--Ed.]
Dear God, this little woman has constantly, constantly done good. [Sister Bruce says, "O God!"--Ed.] She is tried, like Dorcas of old. And now she is getting this time of her heart is very bad. ["Oh!"] But did not Your Word, that we put our whole soul and mind in, say that all things will work together for good to them that loves You? Then it must be that You're working something that we know nothing about. ["Thank God!"] It's all for the good, for she loves You. Now, to the great Shepherd over all of us, the Lord Jesus Christ, and in His Name, I lay my hands upon my sister. May the God, Who made her and brought her to this earth, may His Spirit that sealed her away from the things of the world, to be Your servant, may It heal her sick body and make her completely well. For we need her in the service, Lord. I commit her to You, with this prayer of faith, my hands laying upon her, to identify myself with the prayer, and say to this mountain, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, be moved," that our sister may live to the Kingdom of God, and for the glory of God.
