<TITLE>02. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 And I looked around to him, and I seen he was demon possessed. And I just led two little police to Christ, was back in the waiting room, the dressing room. And quickly, they rushed to the platform, I motioned to them. It wasn't a flesh and blood affair; it was between spirit power. And I just went ahead with the, started with the message, and these ministers, three hundred of them, started shrinking back. Brother Baxter was present, setting there. I had just had been made acquainted with him. Many ministers I guess, that you all would know. And Doctor Wyatt, you remember him? He's--he was there. And Booth, Brother Booth-Clibborn, you remember he was there, and many of them that's around the Portland, Ore--the area.
And oh, what a fellow that was. He turned around he said, "You hypocrite," said, "you deceiver," he said, "you stand up here and act like that before those people and pose yourself to be a man sent from God." Said, "I'll show you how much you're sent from," said, "I'll break every bone in your frail body tonight."

L-5 Well, physically speaking, he was certainly able to do it. And he weighed at nearly three hundred pounds I suppose, about six foot two, and arms about like that. And his eyes was set, and his teeth scissored together. I just kept on speaking. And he rushed towards me, run over to me, said, "I'll break every bone in your body."
And I turned around to look at him... Now, you better be sure you know what you're talking about in them times. There's no chance there for you to, just to bluff yourself; you better just let God have His way. So I... He told me; He promised me when He sent me, that He'd take care of me; so it's up to Him to do it. You see? I just... Now, I... And He will do it, every battle.
So I turned around to him; I just stood there a few moments, just a second or two, and he called me a snake in the grass again, a hypocrite. And I never said nothing, and just looked up again, he said, "Tonight I'll break every bone in your body." And he said, [Brother Branham illustrates spitting.--Ed.] He spit right in my face, like that. And I started to say something. "I wouldn't do that friends," I was going to say that. Instead of that, the Angel of the Lord come whirling down and said, "Tonight you'll fall over my feet; you'll bow to the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ."

L-6 Now, that wasn't me, that was God. So both made their prophesies. Both made their challenges, both spirits. Now, who was right was the next thing. He said, "I'll show you how much your feet I bow to." And he run forward like that and drew back his big fist. And everybody was just spellbound. Course all those demons setting there, that was their legion. I'm sure I'm talking to spiritual people. That was legions; it all went into this fellow. Like Goliath in the day of old. And he was, oh, he made that bold challenge, and he rushed forward, said, "I'll see whose feet I fall over." And he drew back his big fist like that.
I said, "Satan, come out of the man."
And when he did he went... He made a great big scream, threw up his hands, his eyes went way out like that, and fell around till the police had to pull him off of my feet where he pinned me to the floor.
They said, "Is that man dead?"
I said, "No."
"Well," said, "is he healed?"
I said, "No. It's just God showing His power to make that demon bow to Him." That was all. See? I said, "He's not dead."
