 :'''''Now I’m going to turn my back on this audience.''' Now, I don’t want you people that’s here at this tabernacle; I better look this way. I don’t want any of the tabernacle people; I want you that’s never been here before, or you know that I don’t know you. Out-of-town people, raise your hands again, where I can see where you’re at, that you’re sick. Let the Holy Spirit move now. Now, to you people, I don’t know you.<ref>William Branham, 59-0823 - Palmerworm, Locust, Cankerworm, Caterpillard, para. 219</ref>
+==Why did William Branham use prayer cards?==
+Above you will see a copy of one of the prayer cards that William Branham used in the meetings.  Why did he use prayer cards when other people, such as Oral Roberts, did not use them?  More specifically, why did he insist on people being in numerical order in line?
+:''Now, 53? 54? 55? 56, 57, 58, 59, 60? You line right up along here, right in—in '''numerical order''' just the way you are. All right. All right, 60? Is that about…<ref>William Branham, 51-0505 - My Commission, para. 52</ref>
+:''You believe the Lord? You people with your prayer cards now, Z 1 to 50, line up here, '''numerical order''', 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and on like that. When you’re praying for the sick and talking to them, more you pray, more you talk to the person, the more you know of them.
+:''...Now, bring those with prayer cards Z-1 to Z-50. And let them line up '''in numerical order''', right along here: Z-1, Z-50. And then immediately after that, when those go through, we’re going to line up all that wants to be prayed for in that aisle, then all that wants to be prayed for in this aisle, then all that want to be prayed for in this aisle, and all that wants to be prayed for over there. And bring them right around, and pray for everybody tonight. <ref>William Branham, 51-0508 - Faith Is The Substance, para. 69-70</ref>
+:''How many people’s got your prayer cards? I believe it’s—my boy said they had O’s. There’s a hundred of them. Let the first fifteen or twenty line up down here and come across the stage, and according to your number. '''Number 1, number 2, number 3, number 4,''' we’ll just take… ’Cause you can’t put too much standing room. Who’s got prayer card number 1 raise your hand. Number 1? Prayer card number 1, raise your hand. '''Prayer card number 2, raise your hand. Number 3, number 4, number 5,''' just line up down here like that, right—right across the end of this line down here, while the piano plays, “Only Believe,” if you will. <ref>William Branham,  51-0923 - The Principles Of Divine Healing, para. 69</ref>
+:''Will everybody be in prayer now? Let’s just begin out there. Let’s begin with the number 1, and start from number 1 and line up over here. Number 1 prayer card. Fine. Then Z number 2, number 3, number 4, number 5, on down, number 6, number 7, number 8. How many can you put down there, Brother Sharrit? About ten or fifteen, line up down there somewhere. All right, everybody reverent. Take ten first, so you won’t get them all… everybody have to stand a long time, ’cause seldom we ever get over that. Yes. Yes, sir. Thank you, brother. All right…?… '''Billy, check all these along here.''' Some of them are hard hearing and things. Look along on these and see if—if any of these crippled people here’s got them. If they have, then you pick them up ever where they’re at. Z-1 to 10 or 15, somewhere along in there. '''Check all them.'''<ref>William Branham,   51-0415E - The Hour Is Come, para. 41</ref>
