<TITLE>08. Par 28-30</TITLE>L-28 Now, notice, I went in and had prayer for the little girl. And she was telling me about reading where--in the paper where a another girl, by vision (Had been crippled all of her life, crippled up, belonged to the Methodist church at Salem, Indiana. Her name was Nail.), and how the Lord moved by vision, sent me way in the wilderness, hunting across the hills, and found her. And the papers carried the article of it, how she was healed. Her legs straightened out and everything, just stirred the country through there. She re... She went to school after that. The woman's married now. She was about sixteen years old, about twenty now, I guess, eighteen, twenty. And she was in an awful condition. She was telling me about that.
Well, I seen her face was in the vision. I prayed for her and went out. All right. A few weeks after that, I told her... He said, "If the Lord speaks to you, Brother Branham, come to me."
I said, "I would."
I had to get real low. She couldn't raise her sputum cup. She go to cough, she'd go... [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] And the mother would have to put the cup up, like that. She couldn't even raise her hands. Her hands... Her face here didn't have no flesh on it, just looked like the bones of her skull, and the--her eyes way in. Oh, it's the most... She couldn't turn her little head.

L-29 And I looked back there, and I said... Here a few days ago, I was down there, and I looked at her little old bed. She took me in to show it to her. And there it was, were all the paint was rubbed off of the rounds, right there, where year after year laying there hollering and crying, begging, like that, holding on to that, rubbed the paint off of her bedpost, like that. But God heard her cry no matter what she was raised in.
Then I--I went out, and I was out holding a meeting. And I went to Mr. Wright's house a few days after that to have dinner. Them people down there said... When we was having a baptismal service out on the banks of the river, and many of this same man's members was standing there. I walked out into the river. And I said, "It seems like the Angel's of God are standing near." I started baptizing. And there, great candidates, one after the other one out of that man's church, came right out into the water and was baptized with their good clothes on and all, came right out.
God will move. You just set still and let God do it. See? That's right. Have faith in Him; He'll work it all out all right.

L-30 And then I was going in--up that night. It was the last night of the service; I was going to have dinner with Mr. Wright. And we were up. And I said, "Brother Wright, it seems to me that I must go to the woods to pray. The Holy Spirit's leading me not to eat, but pray."
And I went up in the woods and I knelt down. And there it was getting late in the afternoon. And I'd pray. And every time I'd reach my hands up, I'd grab those briar vines, scratching my hands. I'd... It looked like I couldn't kneel; it was hurting my knees. You know how it is. And I kept trying to pray. And I just fell down.
Now, she said--told me before I left, "When the mother rings the bell, you come on to the--to supper right now."
And so I heard it ring, but I was in the Spirit, praying, and I just stayed there. And I kept praying, "O God, what is this burden on my heart? Have I done something, or--something You want." And I felt the Angel of the Lord near, and I raised up.
Shining right down through a little dogwood bush was a yellowish green Light. I heard a voice say, "Go by the way of Carter's."
