<TITLE>08. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 I said, "All right." I said... Took a hold of her hand. Now, I do not know whether the woman was gone or not. God is my... I think she was in a coma. I'm not sure. Although I couldn't feel her heart, nor nothing.
But now listen. Then I put my hand on her; she felt cold. I put my hand on her hand; it felt cold. And it looked like muddy looking stuff, had run from her eyes. And her--had her false teeth taken out, and her lips was drawed in and her mouth setting back like that, her face real thin. And she was... had her eyes set right back like that, and she was laying that way. And I took a hold of her. I shook her.
Seemingly she was dead, whether she was I do not know. God is my judge, I couldn't say. But when I took ahold of her right hand, there went that cancer. Well I knew then, I think now if the woman had been dead the cancer would have left too. Now, I--I believe it would. Now, that's the reason I think she was in--in a coma. So I was holding her hand, and it was hitting, I could hear, feel it hitting like that; turning, hitting. So then I said, "Dad, let's pray."
And he said, "All right, Brother Branham." And he got down on his knees, and began to calling, saying, "God, why did you let her go like that? Why couldn't she just have lived a little while longer?"

L-28 Now, after hearing him praying, I started crying myself. I couldn't help it. Poor old fellow, I looked at him, his old hands was raising up to God, and he's feeble and trembling.
And I said, "Heavenly Father, You Who brought again Jesus from the dead," I said, "be merciful. Comfort the brother's heart." I kept on. I kept on praying. He was just screaming at the top of his voice. And I said, "Father, be merciful and heal her." And the vibration of the cancer stopped.
Well, Satan said to me then, "She died then."
Well, I just kept holding on. I said, "Lord, I believe that You brought up Lazarus from the grave. I believe You give the woman, the widow, her son again. I believe You laid Your hands upon Jairus' daughter and she came to life. Now, You're here. You can spare her life. And I'm just looking to You, Father. I pray that You'd hear me," like that.

L-29 And I felt her grip my hand. I knowed she was alive then. I didn't say it. I just quit praying and watching him crying so much, he didn't hear me cease praying. And I looked, and I seen this skin on her forehead begin to wrinkling. I knowed life was in the woman. I just stood there a little bit on the side of the bed.
In a few moments, she was beginning to look around. Said, "Howdy do."
He done got down on the floor with his head on the floor, just a crying in the ambulance.
And I said, "Howdy do?"
She said, "Who are you?"
I said, "I'm Brother Branham."
She said, "Oh, you are?"
I said, "Set up."
And she set up, like that. He raised up, looked at her. He said, "Mother! Mother!" And he threw his arms around her and begin to hug her, like that. And they were just screaming both of them together, sitting in the ambulance. And I started to go out the door.
