<TITLE>19. Par 212-216</TITLE>L-212 When I put that Tabernacle on the corner, and kneeling here on a pile of gypsum weeds and old horse weeds here under this, right over this pulpit this morning, when it was a pond, God said, "I'll bless it."
Here stood the false prophets up, said, "I seen automobiles moving in and out. And I seen the stones going one from another." That was twenty years ago, and today it's still sailing on, and it will sail on, 'cause it was built here upon sweat and tears of prayer and promise of God. It shall prevail. "Upon this rock I'll build My church; the gates of hell won't prevail against it." There you are. Yes, sir. Don't pay no attention to what they say. I've learned my lesson of listening to people who don't know what they're talking about. I listen to one Person; that's Almighty God. Jesus said, "From henceforth you ask in My Name, ask the Father in My Name, and you'll get it." I believe it.

L-213 One time in Arlington, Texas. I... This--this is though I trying to get away from; it's burning my heart. They come up there, and I've got it in my, no, it's in my little textbook of events. Said that I was a... The FBI was there to expose me, that I was a--a--a devil. And the ministers, a bunch of them up there around somewhere up above Houston there (I'll call the name of the place in a minute.) put out a big bunch of tracts and passed them all around like that, over the auditorium, and said that I was Simon the sorcerer, casting out devils like Simon the sorcerer: witchcraft.
So that night here, they'd been a couple girls had been healed there, and they told of her crying and everything, said, "Well, you ought to... I said... They said they was going home; they was afraid. Said, 'The FBI picked up Brother Branham.' This girl was put in her right mind when you seen that vision over her." And he said, "I--I did it, maybe I caused the trouble."
I said, "Oh, you're scared." I said, "You've seen God the Healer, have you?" I said, "Watch Him as a Warrior. Watch Him in battle; see how great He is. See how great God is as a Warrior in battle."

L-216 And that night I walked out, I said, "Everybody in this, here that's in my campaign, Mr. Baxter, my brother, and the two young ladies that was healed, and them--them ministers said today that you was included in them; I want you to go out of the building." They went out of the building. I said, "Now, I've got a piece of paper here which the custodian of the auditorium went out and got up thousands of them off of cars, hired little Mexican kids to go get them." I said, "I've got a little bill here that says here tonight that I am Simon the sorcerer and going to be exposed by the FBI here tonight."
I said, "All right, FBI, I am on the platform in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ; come to the platform now and expose me." I said, "If I'm doing anything outside of God Almighty's Bible, come here and expose me." I said, "Where you at?" Thousands setting there and everybody was crying, I said, "I'm waiting for the FBI. According to your paper here, you was going to expose me tonight." Just then I waited a few minutes, and I felt that Spirit coming around. I said, "It wasn't the FBI. I'm no criminal." I said, "Every time an FBI agent come in my meeting he got--they got saved. Their chief got saved in my meeting, Captain Al Farrar." I said, and, oh, I said, "No FBI does anything like that."
