<TITLE>12. Par 39-40</TITLE>L-39 I thought, "What a lovely child." I knowed that baby was healed. There to God in heaven, couldn't keep it back from healing that child... No, sir. That Angel said, "If you get the people to believe you..." That's right. That child believed in childlike simplicity. Yes, sir. I knowed that baby was healed.
I was trying to tell it, "You're healed. You can remove your braces. You're healed. God has healed you."
And they kept pushing me on. I went on out to the platform. That night after the service over, there was a lot of crippled people there in the line. If you'll get the "Voice Of Healing," I guess you'll notice the whole arm-loads of crutches and things there were people had been take Laplanders and all... I was just getting a little rest; they was fixing to take me. And I said, "Let's have about ten more prayer cards called."
They said, "What number shall you call from?"
I said, "Call from a certain number." And I turned around like this to get a drink. And there... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] was the first one on the platform. Oh, my. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] How her little heart was just jumping, you know. Tried to get to me, pulling herself back, like that... She got real close to me.
I said, "Sweetheart... Come here, Sister Isaacson. I want you to tell her something. Tell her that she was healed out there. See? Go down there on the side of the platform before this audience." One limb a little shorter than the other one. And I said, "Tell her to take the braces off of you. Let your hands go right down, like that, as it goes off. You're healed."
I went... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] brace. She went over there, said, "Kiitos." And she got over there. She took her braces off. Here she comes back down the platform, running with her braces over her head, screaming and crying, run up-and-down the steps as hard as she could go.
And it happened to be one of the officials around there that brought her. Then we had a service, sure enough, in the city. Couldn't even hold the people. The next day... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... Somebody's keeping them away. Then trying to keep the people out...

L-40 And so Sister Isaacson said, "Brother Branham," said, "that little boy, the other little boy was hit," said, "he's dying. This is the third day." And said, "He's dying." Said, "They want to speak to you.
I said, "Well, bring them on up." And I went out there, and I...
Through the interpreter, they said, "We come that..."
I said, "What do you want of me?"
"We want you to go heal our little boy, like you healed--like the other one."
I said, "Look, sister, brother. I can't do that. That was a vision. God showed me two years ago."
Said, "Will you go down to the hospital and raise our little boy? He's going to die. And we love him."
And I said, "Sure you love him." But I said, "I can't do nothing until God shows me what to do first." And I said, "Then if He tells me something, well then..."
She said, "Go..." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Said, "No."
I said, "Look, if I wanted to find favor with God... If I wanted a favor from Him, I'd try to find favor with Him first." I said, "Now, look, I don't say your little boy will die, or whether it will... I don't know."
Said, "But if the other could be raised from the dead, surely our little boy could be saved from death."
I said, "God can do it. But I'm just His servant. He has to tell me."
