<TITLE>14. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 Somebody knocked at the door again. And what it was... I thought it was the room lady, and it was the--the manager of the hotel. A lady come in; she was swinging the key around on her finger. She said, "Brother Branham, I was down there last night. I seen that too." And she said, "Look." She said, "I--I--I want to be borned again. I..." The manager of the hotel...
And then, I raised up the curtain there, I had the lights on, turned the lights off, raised up the curtain. I'd say, "See that little white road coming down through them pines up yonder?" I said, "About five days ago, I stayed about four hours up there looking down over this city." Said, "God..." I was just a baby in the way then. About... Been about a month or two after It come to me. I said, "Please let Your Angel visit down through that city and stir them people like never before."
There they knelt on their knees there, both the reporter and the manager of the hotel. And both got saved and borned again.

L-46 About a hour later, a little boy came to the door with a message, a little telegram boy. He said, "Brother Branham, my daddy was laying over last night. He's had something wrong with his back for years." And said, "He's healed." He said with those tears running down his cheek, and he said, "I want to know Jesus too. I got a different daddy now."
I said, "Bless your little heart, honey, shut the door and come in here. He's here, and you can find Him right here."
There that little fellow knelt on his knees, and put his little cap down on the floor, gave his heart to Christ, went down the room a shouting and praising God, rolling his hands around."
What is It? The grace of God that's shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.

L-47 Next day they taken me down to a little church there where I was to speak for a little while. It's pouring down rain. And I had come out of the church. Wasn't having no healing service, just to speak. And I started out of the service; I'll never forget it. And two policemen was standing there to take me out. I started walking out. And people just screaming, standing there, and--and trying to get in around where the line was.
And when I started out, I kept hearing somebody hollering, "Mercy, mercy, mercy."
I looked, standing on a little knoll, right in kinda back of the church, there stood an old gray-headed colored man, just a little rim of hair around his head here, and he's gray. And he was holding his hat like this. He stood off from the white people, standing off hollering, "Mercy, mercy, mercy."
And I thought, "Poor old fellow." And I started to move on. I felt Something move. I looked back again. I just felt It pull, like that. I started turn around.
That police said, "Where you going, reverend?"
I said, "The Holy Spirit wants me to go up to where that colored man..."
He said "Don't you do that, boy. And these white people are pulling at you like that." Said, "You'd cause a race riot."
I said, "I can't help what your laws are. The Holy Ghost tells me to go to where that man is." And I went on up there where he was at.
