<TITLE>13. Par 38-40</TITLE>L-38 I felt the Angel of the Lord come near, and I got back up amongst some big pillars there and I said, "Heavenly Father, what would You have Your servant do?"
He said, "Turn and go back. Just keep going."
I turned and went walking back down the street. I walked on and on and on for look about three or four miles. Eight o'clock come, nine o'clock come. Oh, my, I knew I was... The plane's gone, but I just kept on walking. After while I was down in colored district. I looked down there, a little old whitewashed house down there, roses blooming around the door. I looked, hanging out over the gate, there hung a very typical Aunt Jemima. She had a man's shirt pinned around her head, like this. She was hanging over the gate like this, and oh, I seen her, oh, a hundred yards away. And I was singing, "Only Believe, Only Believe, all things are possible, only believe," walking on down. I quit singing, started by, I looked over, she said, "Hello, parson."
I said, "How do, Auntie?"
And down south they call a preacher a parson, so I said; I said, "Hello, Auntie." And I looked, tears was rolling her big fat cheeks. She looked at me; I said, "Say, how'd you know I was a parson?"
She said, "I knowed you was coming."

L-39 I said, "Well, how'd you know I was a parson."
Said, "Did you ever hear about the Shunammite woman in the Bible that had the baby?"
And I said, "Yes."
Said, "Well, I's one of them kind of women." She said, "I--I was barren, and I promised the Lord if He give me a child, I'd raise it for Him." But said, "I done the best that I could." And said then, said, "The first thing you know, my boy took the road that's wrong." Said, "He took a horrible disease, and he's laying in there dying." Said, "The doctors can't do nothing for him; he's been unconscious now two days. The doctors give him all kinds of shots and nothing will stop it." Said, "It's done into the marrow of the bone and," said, "nothing will drive it out." Said, "He's been unconscious for two days," but said, "him a backslider." Said, "Oh," said, "I prayed all day and night, 'Lord, please send somebody.'" And said, "The Lord this morning about four o'clock, told me to go out and see a man with a brown suit on. A small man with dark hair would come down the street, that would be the parson." And she said, "I've been standing here ever since that time. I seen that brown suit come around that corner," said, "I knowed that was the parson."

L-40 Oh, hallelujah. What am I speaking of? The same Holy Ghost that led Simeon is the same Holy Ghost leading the Church today. See? I said, "Auntie, my name is Branham; did you ever hear of me?"
She said, "No, sir, Parson Branham, I never heard of you." She said, "Will you come in and see my boy?" Said, "I don't want him to die a backslider," said, "I want him to be saved, parson."
And I said, "Yes, ma'am." I said, "Auntie, I pray for the sick, did you ever hear my meeting?"
She said, "No, sir, Parson Branham." She said, "The only thing I know, the Lord told me you'd be a small man with dark hair and you'd have on a brown suit, you'd be coming this a way."
Oh, that same Holy Spirit that lived in Simeon's day is the same Holy Ghost today. He's ready to come when the deep calls to the deep.
