<TITLE>14. Par 157-169</TITLE>L-157 All right, the prayer line manager now. [A brother comes to the microphone and says, "I want those with prayer cards from B-85, to B-100, stand in line according to your number at my right, and your left, at the platform steps: from B-85, to B-100. Everyone else remain seated."--Ed.]

L-158 Might say, while he's getting the lines lined up, every one in here knows the... We're trying to say this, that you must be reverent. We will not be responsible... I have to say this by law every night. I am not responsible for any critic in the meeting. These things go from one to the other, especially epileptic and so forth like that. I've seen people come in the meeting perfectly normal; see a spastic setting here, and this spastic go out normal and the critic go out crippled. I've seen them come in as many as twenty-eight at a time, fall with epilepsy, in the floor. These demon powers will find a place to go.
And, friends, that's the Bible. How many knows that's Bible doctrine? Let's see your hand. This is just the New Testament church in action, isn't it, friends? the power of Almighty God to deliver.

L-160 And while they're lining the peoples up, I think those in the wheelchairs, they just wish you to set still, they'll come get you whenever they... When your card number is ready, they'll--they'll call you.

L-161 Now, I want everyone to remember this. You're--you're always welcome at the meetings, everyone. But when I ask you to bow your head, you must bow your head. And then when I... Do not raise your head until you hear me say over this microphone, or Brother Bosworth standing here, to raise your head. If you do before that, I will not be responsible for what happens.

L-162 Mr. Hooper, setting close, he was at a... I like to see someone that was in another meeting. He was at Phoenix, Arizona, with us, where one of the officials of the city, setting in the meeting.
He said, "Well, that's a good case of psychology," said, "I will just... Nothing to it."
I kept feeling the man. He was setting back to my right. I said, "Someone to my right, with their head up." He wouldn't keep his head down.
One of the ushers told him, said, "Keep your head down."
He was an official of the city, so he said, "I don't have to."
"All right."
So they just brought me word back.

L-165 I had a little child there, and he had a clothes pin with a rag wrapped around it, trying... He'd had an epileptic fit, was having one right on the platform then. Sometimes when an epileptic comes, it just throws them into fits.
And I said, "All right, sir, I asked you. That's all I can do."
I prayed. I said, "God, don't let this innocent child suffer for that child--for that man, his disobedience." Left the child. The man just smiled and went on.
About two days later, he come--begin to have a funny feeling, said, "Oh, it's just me thinking that, that's all." Said, "It's just--it's just my imagination, is just getting the best of me." Tried to shake out of it.
A day or so later, the officers picked him up downtown, walking around and around. About six weeks later, he come over...

L-169 I was having a service at Charles Fuller... with Charles Fuller, over in Long Beach. If any of you was there, you know how many was in there. There was literally thousands in there, standing up-and-down the beach, so they... He couldn't get in there. Went up to Los Angeles, couldn't get in there.
And, finally, at Modesto, His wife, on a rainy night, fell across the path. Beard had growed out on his face, horrible, hideous-looking. And there he was. Said, "Brother Branham, something's got to be done." Said, "He--he--he don't, he won't even eat. We can't poke water down him." Oh, he looked horrible, setting there, his eyes just stared.
I walked in. He started going, "Hummmm," getting back from me, like that.
