<TITLE>08. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 Now, see, we... We're very suspicious. And we going to try to look in there and see if we can figure it out. There's where you lose. You can't figure God out. You got to believe Him. See, see? He that believeth, not he that can figure out, he that believeth. See?
And so, when they seen that the signs of God was brought into their midst, with all their heart... Not just going up and saying, "Well I--I--I kind of believe it. I'll..." With all their heart, they just throwed their heart open, and that's what taken place.
And my, I told them I... They... Some of them got around that I like to hunt. And their reservation's posted, you know. But my, they... Some of them asked me, said, "Are you a hunter?"
I said, "I like to hunt."
And--and they was going to saddle their ponies right then and take me hunting, to where I could catch turkeys with my hands almost. They--they had... And many of them give up their superstitions and so forth, and--and become saved. And we had a great time up there. And I'm to return back there in a few nights. Oh, I just wonder what it'll to be when I get in this time.
And many dope fiends, and narcotics users, and so forth, everything just taken place in the meeting. And we're thankful for that. And now, He wants to be the same thing here in California.

L-30 Not long ago... Many of you know Captain Al Ferrar, no doubt at all, the head of the juvenile on the... J. Edgar Hoover... on juvenile. He was in France recently. He was in my meeting. And he was telling me, taking me out for place, and was telling me how much he's seeking God. And he retires now, in a little over a year, and he wants to go with me in my meetings, and to...
And he was telling me, said, "I heard your sermon the other night, Brother Branham, about how that--that sometimes the people try to see if their children gets so much education, and they learn tap dancing and so forth. They're mindful of those things. But to know God..."
And he showed me on the map of the United States, that some of our worst criminals come out of the high cultured educated groups of people in societies. They get so smart till they think they can outsmart the law. See?

L-31 Now, listen. I'd rather my boy there know Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of sins, if he was so dumb he didn't know his ABC's. That's right. I--I would rather he would do it. That's right.
Now, I'm not trying to say your children should be dumb and ignorant, or so forth. That's not. But brother, education has been one of the biggest hindrance that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has ever had. In the seminaries it's reading, writing, and arithmetic. And some of them know no more about God than a Hottentot knows about Egyptian knight. That... You know that's true.
And it's--it's all right to be educated. I don't want you to be illiterate. But the thing of it is, you put so much stress on that, and not enough on Jesus. You see? That--that's it. Here's the One you want to speak of.
And then when you get real smart, you say, "Oh, my, Doctor So-and-so knows more about it." Maybe he does. Caiaphas ought to have knowed Jesus too, oughtn't he, and so ought the priests in them days. But they didn't know Him. And so is it today.

L-32 Now, He's here, and He loves you all. And I want you all to be healed. I want every person in here to be healed tonight. And all along the lines here, you without prayer cards... You with or without prayer cards, I want you to believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ is going to make you well. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Afraid. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
