<TITLE>11. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 And I looked; my heart was just a breaking. I said, "Look, lady. Perhaps I'm the one you want to see."
And friends, I'll never forget. Those hands grabbed me by the lapel, like that. She said, "Is you the healah?"
I said, "No. I'm Brother Branham." I said, "Jesus is the Healer."
And she held me, like that. She said, "Oh, don't pass me. Have mercy."
And I said, "Sister, 'course, I would do all I could as a man. And I believe Jesus will hear our prayer." I said, "Do you believe Him?"
She said, "With all my heart, sir."
I said, "Now, let me have your hand."
Do you think she'd turn loose of my coat? No, sir. She's holding right there. She said, "I isn't going to turn you loose, suh." She said, "Is..."
And I said, "Well look, sister. Let me have your right hand. And you can hold with your left. But I want to feel the vibration of those cataracts to know whether they're dead or not."

L-38 I finally got her to let me have her hand. I took ahold of it, and there they was. I said, "Now, so that nobody will notice us," I said, "you bow your head now. Don't raise your head till I tell you to. And believe with all your heart."
She said, "I do, suh." She bowed her head.
Here's the way I was praying. I'll never forget the way I prayed. I said, "Heavenly Father, some nineteen hundred years ago, there was an old rugged cross dragging down through the streets of Jerusalem. It was dragging out the bloody footprints of the Bearer. On the road up to Golgotha, His little, weak, frail body fell under the load. Along came Simon, the Cyrene, colored man, Ethiopian, picked up the cross and helped Him bear the cross." Said, "Father, I'm sure You understand. And here's one of his daughters tonight, staggering in darkness. Won't You help her?"

L-39 No more than I said that, the vibrations ceased on my hand. I said, "Now, keep your head bowed, sister, just a moment." And she kept her head bowed. I waited a minute for the shrinkage on the cataract. I said, "Now, keep your eyelids closed until you get your face about even with mine... your judgment."
Said, "Yes, suh." Said, "I feel real cool."
I said, "Just don't open your eyes." When she got about even, I said, "Now, receive your sight, for Jesus has healed you."
She opened her eyes. She said, "It took... Is them lights?"
I said, "Yes, ma'am."
Said, "Is that people passing?" She said, "O Lord, I who once was blind, can now see." And she screamed out. She fell forward.
And the people begin to notice. And here they come, running together. And I started to run.
I heard... I looked coming down, just a little bit before I started praying; I seen a man pressing through the crowd, hunting for me. And I started towards them.

L-40 Just as I started towards them, there was an old brother. I never will forget. He--he had a--a club. He had a crooked foot. He was standing like this. He said, "I know you, Brother Branham." He said, "I've been standing in this rain for eight days." Said, "Tell me what to do, and God will back your word."
I said, "You, with all your heart, you believe?"
He said, "With all my heart."
I said, "Throw away your club and be whole in the Name of the Lord Jesus."
He threw his club away and made out a scream. And up in the air he went, jumped. Down he come, just as normal as any man, begin to screaming.
