<TITLE>04. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 And there they come flying hundreds and hundreds of miles by plane, trains and everything, come special when they see it in the paper that I was in a debate. And that--that night, at...
Mister Best hired a--a photographer to come over, a member of the--the American Photographers' Association. And they came over to... Said, "I want you to take six pictures of me while I'm just beating that old man to pieces with the Gospel." So the photographer came over to take it.
And I knew he'd have an awful time on that, because Mister Bosworth is quiet as he could be. He come to the platform. And Mister Best was a roaring and a going on.
Said, "Just ask a question. Was that the attitude of the Baptist church, the Baptist Conference, or was that the attitude of Mister Best alone?"
I was rocked in a Baptist cradle myself. I know the Baptist believe in Divine healing. So I knew that wasn't the attitude of the church, but I--I knew that it must have been his personal. So he had to admit that it was his personal attitude.

L-15 So there was many many thousands of people gathered that night, just packed the big place in. And then the...
I got up in the third balcony. I wasn't going, but I thought then I would go. And I stood up in the third balcony.
And Mister Bosworth said, "I will just ask Mister Best one question. Was the redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Christ? If you'll answer that, that's all..."
He was Jehovah-rapha: He was Jehovah-manasseh. And if He wasn't, then we look for another Saviour. So that settled it.

L-16 So there wasn't nothing. Everybody begin to razz the man and clap his--their hands, and he got up there, and tried to preach a little bit on something. And he...?... that he--he couldn't even do it. He just so tied up and mixed up.
And poor old Brother Bosworth really done a wonderful job that night, just as cool as he could be, just standing there looking at him.
And then they was to have a little puddle at the last, and this Mister Best kept saying, "Let me see this miracle worker."
Mister Bosworth said, "Brother Branham doesn't claim to be no miracle worker."
Said, "I'd like to see him come forth and perform."
He said, "He doesn't clown for people," and just like that. Said, "He spends his time praying."
And he said, "Well, I'd like to see him." Just kept on like that.

L-17 Mister Bosworth said, "Well, he's in the building. If he wants to come to the platform, all right."
And setting there, up there with my brother, and with the four guards that taken me in, with the wife and baby.
Just then, I felt Something just come down over me. I raised up and started down...?... When I walked to the platform, I said, "I have preached to many millions of people, direct or indirect. Literature has traveled over the world. I've preached before thousands by radio and by person. Never one time did I call myself a Divine healer." I said, "I'm not a Divine healer. Preaching Divine healing doesn't make you a Divine healer no more than preaching salvation makes you a Divine Saviour. If you preach salvation, that makes you a Divine Saviour, if preaching Divine healing makes you a Divine healer." I said, "No, I--I do not claim that." I said, "I only make my statements. And if I make my statements, and if they're true, then God will say they're true, and God will back them up. And if I tell false... something false, then God will not honor anything false. He will always honor the truth." I said, "I tell the truth, and God knows the truth."
And about that time, why, the glory of the Holy Spirit came down.
