<TITLE>15. Par 51-53</TITLE>L-51 And she said, "He did that for several weeks." And said, "He would come down and set down in a chair, and say, 'Well, thank God for healing me,' just shaking as hard as he could."
And said, "The people... Why, he's got a reproach." Said, "The neighbors would laugh at him." And said, "They'd all go to saying, 'Well, I guess he's healed. There he goes. Look at him shaking. Now, isn't that a shame that somebody'd deceive somebody like that?' Like that. Said, 'Isn't that a shame,' the neighbors would say. 'Well, that fellow ought to be arrested, ought to be run out of the country,' and like that, 'for telling that boy that.'"

L-52 If I wasn't telling the truth, I should be. That's right. But it's the truth. So it went on. And she said, "He..." When he come back the second time (I forgot to tell you.), he said, "Brother Branham, if you'll heal me, I'll give you a hundred dollars right now."
And I said, "Brother, if you offered me a million, I couldn't heal you."
And then he said, "What about that woman with the goiter?"
And I said, "Her faith in Christ what healed her, brother."
And so she said, "Well now, he was doing that." He said, "Last Saturday... Last Friday evening, afternoon (I guess) he came in." And said, "But one of our--our friends from out in the country was visiting us, and he come in, shaking, set down in the chair and said, 'Praise the Lord for healing me.'"
And said, "My relative from the country, said, 'What's the matter with him?'"
"Oh," said, "he got down there, and some preacher got him all worked up and told him he was healed." And said, "He's been carrying on there like that ever since." Said, "'Fore he got..."
He said, "Well, I--I am healed." Said, "I..."
"Oh," she said... Got to laughing at him, you know. And then so the mother got to laughing at him just to make him stop saying that, you know. Said, "It was bringing a reproach."
It'll never bring a reproach on testifying for what Christ died for at Calvary. No, sir. He healed every person when He died at Calvary. He did. That's right. You have to accept it.

L-53 Then when this... Well, she said, "He set down in the chair. And he was shaking, like that, and kept on shaking." Said, "He got to crying." And said, "We got to laughing at him."
And said, "All of a sudden he jumped to his feet just as still as he could be." Said, "Now, I am healed." That's right. God had visited him.
She said, "Reverend Branham," said, "we made him set down in a chair and set there for hours to be sure," said, "he never shook a bit." And said, "We took him down to our church, a very noted Baptist church." It's broadcast right through here. Said, "We took him down to the church, and the pastor looked over him, and said, 'There's no...?... It's true.'" Said, "Then we took him to the medical doctors Saturday. And they examined him, said, 'There's nothing wrong.'" Said, "Now, this is Sunday and he's still...?..."
"Why, I told you I was healed."...?...
She said, "Now, he promised you a hundred dollars, and I want to know where to send it."
And I said, "Oh, sister..." I said, "If he's a rich man. He's got so much money he don't know what to do with it. Tell him to go down the street, and the first little ragged kid he sees, go in and buy him a lot of clothes and give it to him something." And I said, "And give God praise," (That's right.) I said, "for his healing."
