<TITLE>12. Par 36-37</TITLE>L-36 After I left her, I started on down the street; the Holy Spirit said, "Stand still." Mrs. Morgan and Meda said, "Come on." My wife. I said, "Cross the street, go in the drugstore, and get the baby a coloring book." Go on down through the basement, go up, the place is full. I said, "The Holy Spirit's not through yet." And I stood there on the corner; I got back. I love guns and fishing tackle and things. I was looking at it and watching, nobody seen me; I slipped back in the corner; I said, "Heavenly Father, what would You have me do?"
He said, "Go down to the corner, cross the street, and stand there for a little bit."
I went out, and crossed the street, and stood there. This happens all the time. Stood there on the corner a little bit; I didn't know what was going to happen. Stood there about ten minutes and people kept coming and going, coming and going, coming and going. After while the big Irish cop blowed the whistle and some more pedestrians crossing. And I looked, and here come a lady with a little tam on and with a checkered like suit, holding a--a pocketbook on her arm. She crossed the street, I--went right by me like that and went on. He said, "Draw close to her." And I did. He went on by like that, and I thought, "That's strange, why did He want me to go by her?" And I stood there a little bit; she turned around and she said, "Oh," she said, "Brother Branham."
I said, "Yes ma'am."
She said, "Oh, I feel like I'm going to faint."
And I said, "What's the matter, sister?"
She said, "I'm from Canada." Said, "I'm only allowed a hundred and fifty dollars a year down here; spent all my money." Said, "I had five cents for coffee; I slept in a hotel lobby last night in a chair where they let me sleep." And she said, "I had five cents for coffee this morning; I was going down to hitchhike my way back to Canada, and I was about two or three squares below here crying, saying, I'll have to go back the way I come."
He said, "Turn to your right."
Then said, "I got in the Spirit, didn't know where I was at till I seen you standing here." Said, "I don't know how many turns I made."
I said, "What's the matter, sister?"
She said, "My arm has been crippled. I was riding a dog when I was a little girl and I hurt my hand."
I said, "Stretch forth your hand; Jesus Christ has healed you."
There that big cop said, "I know who you are, Brother Branham." Like that. And talk about a prayer line, we had one there on the street for about a hour then. Till some of them had to come and get me. Many, many, things, and how, one of the things, one more thing just a moment. Late... I've got five minutes yet.

L-37 Look, quickly now, I was coming from Dallas. Brother Bosworth remembers things over there. And I was flying back. A storm come up, and I was sent down at Memphis. And they told me, the airline said, "We'll call you in the morning." I went up to the Peabody Hotel. They stayed all night there. Next morning they called me early, said, "Now, be ready at eight o'clock."
I said, "All right." And I had some mail I had to mail back. And I went out, and been praying. I run down to the post office to put the mail in the box. Listenly close now to this, how the Holy Spirit leads. I went down to the post office, going down the street, I was going down singing that little song you Pentecost people sing, "They're telling now both far and wide His power's just the same." Did you ever hear it? "I'm Glad I Can Say I'm One Of Them." I was going down singing, "I'm one of them, I'm one of them. I'm so glad that I can say, I'm one of them." I was going down like that. I started to cross the street, and the Holy Spirit said, "Stop."
