<TITLE>07. Par 25-26</TITLE>L-25 Went walking on down the street, the Holy Spirit said, "Stop here."
I told the wife, I said, "You all go on the--they'll get you in the hotel."
She said, "Well, I will cross the drug store over there to get some books--coloring books." Had to keep the baby in the room all the time.
And I stopped, and I went back up and looked at some fishing tackle, and I waited just a moment. I said, "Father, what is it You would have me do?"
And I waited a few moments. I heard that voice say, "Go down to the corner."
I went down to the corner, standing at the corner, said, "Cross the street." I went across the street and was standing there.
You people from Fort Wayne know how they direct the traffic there. And it... on a Saturday morning. And I stood there for quite awhile.
And after awhile I seen a lady cross the street, the whistle blowed many times. A lady crossing the street, holding a pocket book on her arm. And she was dressed in a checked suit and a little checked tam on. She walked.
The Holy Spirit said, "Go close to her."
I went and stood there. (The woman may be in this meeting tonight for all I know.) And I stood right there on the corner. And she passed right on by, and went by.
I thought, "That's strange; He never did tell me anything wrong."
She walked about the distance of that pole. She was looking down, looking sideways.
And she turned around and looked back; she said, "Oh, Brother Branham." She come back and she started crying. And she said, "I'm from Canada." She said, "I followed all through Canada." Said, "I come over here, was only allowed so much money. Last night," said, "I slept setting in a hotel lobby. And this morning I had one five-cents for a cup of coffee." Said, "I was going out here to hitch-hike home." Said, "I was just two squares below and the Holy Spirit said, 'Turn to your right.' Well, I went to the right. And He said, 'Turn to your left.' But I was being led by Him, said 'Turn around and see.'" Said, "Brother Branham, my hand's been crippled."
I said, "In the Name of the Lord Jesus, give me the hand." And here come the hand straight.
A big Irish cop blowing a whistle, said, "I know who you are, Brother Branham."
My, we had a prayer line held on the street in a few moments. It was just everywhere. What is it? Led of the Spirit of God, that's what it is, friend.

L-26 Recently on my road to Dallas (I will hurry quickly), on my road going to Dallas, the plane was grounded. And I thought, oh my. I stayed all night, and the next morning I was going down to put my mail in the box. They told us they'd come pick us up.
I was going down the street, trying to sing that little old Christian song the Pentecost folk sing, "Glad That I Can Say I'm One of Them." Did you ever hear it? It's a...
 People almost everywhere,
 Hearts all burning with flames,
 As the fire that fell on...
 The Holy Ghost,
 That makes us all the same, (or something like that).
And I was trying to sing it going down the street, my letters in my hand, going walking along down the street. I started to cross the street, the Holy Spirit said, "Stop. You're right in front of a bank," (Memphis, Tennessee).
I thought, "Oh, my, what's this?"
I walked over in a corner; I said, "Father, what would You have me do?"
I stood still for a few moments, 'cause I wasn't thinking about it. I felt that real strange feeling move on me, said, "Turn and go right back."
And I went right back down passed the hotel again, just kept on going down the street, humming to myself, "Oh I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them." Going on...
I went way on down to the other side of Memphis, on down to the colored district. I thought, "What am I doing down here?" Just led by the Spirit.
And I looked. Said, "Cross this way." And I crossed over the street and went down the other side. I was going over there. Turned to my right, went up the street this a way. All the little whitewashed places there, little colored places where the colored live.
