<TITLE>12. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 And the Angel had just appeared to me about four or five days before that and told me about this. And he said... or about the gift. And he said, "I was... I live at Paducah, Kentucky." He said, "Last night, I had a strange dream." He said, "I seen an Angel coming down out of heaven. And he came down and told me to come to this city of Jeffersonville, and to inquire for somebody by the name of Branham to pray for me." Said, "Would you know where there was any such person here, anybody by the name of Branham?"
Oh, my, my heart just felt like it was that big. And I said, "My mother runs a boarding house right around the corner."
He said, "You're..."
I said, "My mother."
He said, "Is your name Branham?"
I had to give him my arms. I said, "Brother, come here to the corner." And I begin to tell him what happened. And he started weeping. And we knelt there on the street, right there on the street, and I prayed for him. And when I got up, the people holding their children back and taking off their hats in respect there on the street.

Four cops was bringing me out, getting me through the crowd. There was thousands pressing in. And the night before that, the Angel of the Lord came right into the building where I was, come down.

My brother walking by calling time on me. I know I talk too much. That's right. But I--I love you people, and I--I want to... I want to tell you this anyhow.
And there was a... As I came there to the--the place, I was talking, telling them about the Spirit of the Lord. And just about that time, coming in the front door, here It came. I said, "I won't have to speak any more. Here It is Itself."

L-46 And It came right up through the building like that. Circled around where I was, like that. And people blind, and deaf, and dumb, and everything, just being--raising up and walking through the building glorifying God.

He couldn't stand with the white people, of course. And he was crying like that. And I started, and Something moved, said, "Go over there."
And I said, "Let's go over to where that man is."
And he said... the officer said, "Oh, Brother Branham, you couldn't put your hand on that man." Said, "They'd arrest you." Said, "You can't do that; you're in Arkansas."
