60 You say, "Brother Branham, I need healing."
61 The promise is yours. But, if you ever get it, you ain't going to get it easy, I'm going to tell you that. You're going to have to take it away from Satan. Satan captures your health, you've got a right to go to—to Satan, say, "Give it back! Hand it over! I come in the Name of the Lord, the Possessor of Heavens and earth, and I'm His heir. Give it back! You took my child, you got her mixed up with the wrong boy. You took my boy and mixed up with the wrong girl. I claim them! That's right. I claim my children, I claim my brother, I claim my sister. Yes, Satan, you've took them from God's house, coaxed them out there, but I'm coming after them. I claim them."
"Well, how you know?"
62 "I'm an heir of all things. Amen. It's given to me. I'm an heir, I can claim everything that God promised me." Amen. There you are. "It's mine." How do you get it, something you done? No, sir. It's the unmerited gift that God gave us, and it's ours, it belongs to us. Satan cannot hold it if you go to him in the—the Scriptural authoritative Word, with faith, to say, "It's mine! Lay it down." Amen. Glory! I like that. "Satan, you lay it down. You took it from me. You give it back, because I'm serving notice on you. I've got the notice written right here on the Word, 'Heavens and earth will pass away, but this notice shall not.' So I come with this notice, to serve on you, that Jesus Christ said whatsoever I ask the Father in His Name He'll give it to me. If I say to this mountain, 'be moved,' and don't doubt in my heart, but believe that what I've said shall come to pass, I can have what I said. Lay it down!" That gets him started. Don't get him started, gets him running. "Lay it down, because I have come with the Scriptural authority. I am a believer." You get it? Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

112 Now, she didn't have to see a sign that Joshua could do with his hand or with a stick. She believed. She said, "I heard, and I believe. And now I'm asking for mercy." Oh, how we could put a lesson right here. "I'm asking for mercy, for me and my house."
113 Look at the Roman that night, that pulled his sword, and was going to kill himself, the Philippian jailer. Paul said, "Do yourself no harm. We're all here."
Said, "What can I do to be saved?"
114 Said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, thou and thy house shall be saved."
115 Why? "Thou and thy house." Certainly. Thy house shall be saved with thee. Why? If you've got faith enough to have yourself saved, you can have faith enough for your family to be saved. Yes. "Thou and thy house."
116 Look at Rahab. Rahab said, "Have mercy upon me. Spare me. I don't want to die with these unbelievers. I don't want to die as an animal. I want to die in the arms of Jehovah. I believe your God, because He's both God of Heaven and earth. He does visible things. He makes things real. I never seen Him do it, but I believe it, anyhow." See? She had never seen Joshua. She just heard of Joshua. She never seen God. She never seen any of the works of God. She just heard. Others had seen it, and she believed by hearing it. Now, said, "I want favor for me, and my father, my mother. They're both old and crippled up. I've got some brethren. I want to have faith for them."
117 And the spy, the preacher, said, "Yes, he's coming this a way, and we're going to take the land. Now if you want to get them saved, get them in the house." Hallelujah! "If you believe it, go get them and get them in here, for we'll not be responsible if they're in the streets. But if you'll just get them in the house, we'll be responsible," Hallelujah, where that little red cord was to hang down the window. "We'll be responsible if you put them in the house."
118 Oh, brethren, if there ever was a time we ought to get our loved ones in the House, is today, the Household of Faith. Get them in, for the time is coming when there's coming a shaking. Only, our fathers and mothers, and brothers and sisters, are only safe in the House, 'cause God's power is going to shake the country again. It is. And only the Household of Faith will be saved.
119 "Now," he said, "I'm not responsible unless you get them in the house." And she made them sware that they would not destroy her or her family. He said, "If you'll get them in, they'll be safe." She let them down out of the place, and they went.

366 If you want to read another one, Acts 16:31. Paul told the centurion, "Believe! I'm the messenger of the hour. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, thou and thy house shall be saved." That right? Believe for your house, bring them all under. "Now you've seen the God of Heaven perform a miracle. It's before judgment. Do you believe it?"
"Yes! What can I do?"
367 He said, "Rise and be baptized." Paul took him out and baptized him, said, "Now believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou and thy house shall be saved."
368 Believe what? Believe the Lord Jesus Christ, for your house, apply the Token to your house.
369 Then what do you do when you apply It to your house? Move all the trash out. Get all the short skirts, and the shorts, and the cards, and the cigarettes, and televisions, and whatevermore, and kick them out the door, when you go apply the Token; won't stand still for it. Yes, sir. Take it all out. All the dances, and parties, and rock-and-roll, and old vulgar newspapers, and the stuff that's of the world, kick it out the door, say, "We're cleaning out this place around here."
370 Like Jacob did, he said, told his wife and all of them, said, "Wash your clothes and everything. Put away them gods." Amen. Jo-…
371 You know what Joshua said before crossing over? He said, "Wash your clothes; come not at your wives, and so forth, and get ready, for within three days we'll cross Jordan." Amen. He was getting ready, was applying the token. Amen. That's it.
372 Get ready. Apply It. Believe It. Clean up. Let your children, let your family, let your loved ones, see It in you. That's right. It'll take effect. Yes, sir!
373 Then apply the Token in prayer, with—with—with consideration, with believing. Apply It with such love, and so forth, till you know it's going to take, it's going to take place. That's all. Apply It in confidence, believing It's going to help. When you talk to that child, when you talk to your husband, talk to your wife, talk to this loved one, believe that It's going to help. Just stand there, and say, "Lord, I've claimed them. They're mine. I'm getting them for You, Lord."
374 Apply It, and create that atmosphere around you, that they'll just drop right into It. See? Oh, you are, you are, if you got the Token, you create a spirit around you, a power, that when you walk, people know that you're a Christian. They love for you to say something to them. They believe your word. What you say, they hold onto it. See? That's it.

73 Oh, for the grace of God, that He would give us understanding of such great mysteries! As Paul spoke here, further on down in Ephesians, speaking of the husband and wife, and said, "This is a mystery," how the women should be in respects to their husband. Even the second place, I believe it is, the entire Bible, that reverence was ever spoke to. Said, "The women, seeing she reverence her husband, reverence her husband." Then a husband ought to live such a life before his wife that his wife could reverence him as a son of God. And if he doesn't live that kind of life, well, then, course, she wouldn't reverence him, because she knows what he's made of. But when it is a man that is reverent man, reverent and clean, with his wife and before his family, a real servant of God, then the women, children, and all, should respect that servant of God, with reverence.
