<TITLE>09. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 I seen when Paul and Silas was up there at Antioch when that little old fortuneteller, when all them ministry up there said, "Aw, they're impostors."
And that little fortuneteller run out, said, "These are the men of God to tell the way of life." See, them demons recognized that gift in those men, before, sometimes, religious teachers did.
And I said to my wife; I said, "Honey, call them up. Tell them I don't know when I'll ever be back to work again, for I am now going to find out what that is or die." I said, "If..." I said, "I've got about twenty-three dollars left in the bank. And I'll write you a check. And I'm going to leave, and I shall never return until I find out what that is that's followed me all of my days. One says this and one says that. But I'm going to find out what it is."
And I took my Bible, little old Scofield Bible, about like that, and I put it under my arms, and I took off. And I went and I read until nighttime. I got a cave I go into, and it'll be way back in the hills. But this is a little old log cabin where I used to trap. And I prayed and I prayed. And I was setting there praying, holding my mind with a power that reaches the spheres on in, beyond the moon and stars, and the fogs, and gets a hold of God way in yonder somewhere. Setting there meditating, thinking on God...

L-34 It was getting along towards three o'clock in the morning. I said, "God, I'll stay right here until I die, until something... I'm a minister. And don't let me be deceiving. If You want something for me to do, if there's something You wish to speak to me... You've showed me signs and wonders. And people have told me to forget about it, and I was eat too much supper, or something like that." I said, "But I want You to tell me, Father. If it's wrong, come down now and stop it from me. Shut it off, so I'll never know no more about it." I said, "Have mercy, God." I cried till my eyes was swollen. I said, "God, I'm sincere. I don't know what to do. I don't want to fail You. I've done all that I know how to do. But what is it You want me to do?"

L-35 And in there in prayer, all at once, I seen a Light a flickering. I looked around. I thought, "Well, here. Somebody's coming with a flashlight? Couldn't be a car coming back in here. Now, where was that at?"
And I looked, and it was spreading out on the floor, getting bigger and bigger.
I said, "Where...?..." Looked up, and right up there hung this same thing that you see in this picture there, whew, whew [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.], round and around and around, that Light getting bigger and bigger. And I turned around and looked, and I heard something going [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.], walking just as clear, just about like this cadence...?... walking slowly. I heard a footsteps approaching, barefooted at that. And I looked, coming across the old board floors, I seen under this Light that was coming down, I seen that it was a--a man's foot. I seen a white robe...?...
Imagine how you'd feel. I said, "Oh, my."
I looked like that; It walked closer. And when It come into the full Light, It was a Man had His hands folded like this. He weighed about two hundred pounds, and kinda dark complected, kinda more like a--a Mexican's complexion, you know, like the Spanish, or some dark complected person, smooth face, no beard, had dark hair down to His shoulders, had a white robe on. And His characters, you can just talk about it. One of it was so meek; and it looked like again if He'd speak, it'd turn the world over.
