<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 All right. Now, we wish to speak to you just for a few moments, just a very few moments about "God Revealing Himself To His People."
Now, God cannot make anyone believe. God can only reveal Himself in different forms. He has revealed Hisself in wind, and in--and mysterious--mysterious movements and so forth. And in the form of Angels has He revealed Hisself. And He's revealed Hisself in man, by preaching the Gospel. He's revealed Hisself in--in times of trouble to people, like... And sometimes He has to take a loved one, sometimes, to bring the heart of the person to the acknowledgment of God. You believe that? He does. He reveals Hisself in the sunset, in the sunrise. He reveals Hisself in meetings with great blessings, to stretch out His hand before the people and bless them. You believe that?
And now, He is trying to reveal Himself today to the sick and the needy in a form of an Angelic Being, coming down, like He did on the pool of Bethesda, but upon mankind, to reveal Himself by showing signs and wonders. Also by...

L-6 Now, as they told you a few moments ago, as Brother Baxter was speaking concerning the picture that was taken. To some people, that might just be a picture. But to me, that's a sacred sign.
As soon as the picture was taken in that debate that night, when I was setting... 
Three or four times... We have many, many, many times. This little group here wouldn't fill a corner of that big stadium there. The place was walled in with people.
And I was setting way up high. I said, "I will not say a thing tonight. I'll listen to Doctor Bosworth and them holding the Scripture discussion."
And the Baptist minister had hired, as they told you (you've heard it read), hired some photographers, said, "Come over; take a half a dozen pictures of me while I skin the old man."

L-7 But don't never argue with people. You just stand still and let God do the arguing. I wouldn't argue, wouldn't debate with no one. I don't believe in it in the first place. I can only state what's truth. If you want to believe it, all right. If you do not, there'll be others who will believe it. Isn't that right? See? And don't ever argue. Don't debate. God's Word is not to be fussed over like that. Every person has a right idea. And those who believe, all right; those who do not believe, why, just the same then. That's right.
So I refused to have anything to say into it, because when you get to arguing with people, you get all steamed up... Presence of the Lord then. So I know God's not in it. So I just... Those who want to debate, that's their business.

L-8 But setting up there, listening to the discussion going on. And all of a sudden, I felt when he said... the man said, "Let this miracle worker come forth and perform." Miracle worker... And he said, "Let him come forth. I'd like to see him."
And Brother Bosworth said, "Brother Branham is in the building." Said, "I won't say where. But if he wants to come down here and speak to the people before they're dismissed, all right."
And just then, Something just picked me up like that. And when he picked me up, I knew I was to go forward. And I come down out of the balcony, walked to the platform. Just as I walked to the platform, I said, "It's too bad that people have to argue over the Word of God." I said, "Don't no one feel sorry, or--or feel bad at Mister Best, because that's all right. But," I said, "that's not the Baptist belief, because I was rocked in a Baptist cradle myself. And I know the Baptist believe in Divine healing and praying for the sick." And I said, "that's not a Baptist belief. That's Mister Best's belief alone."
And I see they're sending letters all the way across the country. But that won't stop God's work. It'll just keep moving on. That's right. It's people... Religious, Holy Ghost filled people don't pay no attention to stuff like that. So then they... All the devil moves, that just makes a--a stepping stone for Christ, always.
