<TITLE>26. Par 33-34</TITLE>L-33 Then when that night come, my wife said, "Now, honey, you shouldn't go down there tonight; that anointing is on you. And don't go down there, 'cause you'll just pollute the meeting for the night before."
I said, "Somehow, I feel I ought to go down." My brother was just taking me in and out, like my boy does now, and a couple of more men. They said, "Brother Branham, I don't believe I'd go down." Said, "Cause they're bound to fuss. I know how those fellows are." Said, "They'll fuss and carry on."
Well, they... I said, "I just feel like I ought to go. I will go way up in the balcony, and pull my coat up over my ears, and set up there." I said, "I want to go down." So I went down.
They taken me in, went up there, my coat all pulled up and just set down. And Brother Bosworth got up there, like an old patriarch, challenged. And receiving that challenge, Mr. Best about thirty just out of the cemetery. And so, I said cemetery. That's right. And so then, seminary, if you wish to call it that.
Anyhow, Brother Bosworth got up there and said, "I have (I forget how many) different Scriptures written here, Mr. Best, of Christ's present attitude in the New Testament towards the sick and afflicted. If you can take the Testament, or the Bible anywhere, and disprove anyone of them, I will walk off the platform like a gentleman." He was afraid to take the paper up. Brother Bosworth was astonished at him.
He said, "Then I will ask you one question. You answer me yes or no, it'll settle the thing forever."
"All right."
He said, "Was the redemptive Names of Jehovah applied to Jesus, yes, or no?" That settled it. If He's Jehovah-jireh, He's also Jehovah-rapha. All...?... If He was God's provided sacrifice, if He isn't Jehovah-jireh, then He is not the Saviour, He isn't the provided Sacrifice. That settled it altogether.

L-34 Best jumped up and down, and screamed, and stumped, and carried on, and snorted, and got angry, smacked the preacher, and so forth like that, preached a good Campbellite sermon there, and never said, talked about when... You...?... Divine healing? I Corinthians 15, when this mortal puts on immortality. Brother Bosworth said, "I believe that too, sir. But I'm talking about Divine healing now in the atonement."
Then he got all puffed up, and said, "Bring that Divine healer on."
Brother Bosworth said, "Ridiculous." Said, "Brother Branham don't claim to be a Divine healer; he only claims to--to be able to help the people by praying for them." Said, "Preaching Divine healing don't make him no more a Divine healer, than preaching salvation makes you a Divine Saviour." So he went on.
And after while he kept on. Brother Bosworth said, "I know Brother Branham is in the meeting." I was sitting twice the distance of this building, way back up. Said, "I know he's here. And if he wants to come and dismiss the audience, alone, let him come do it, but he is not necessary."
And the people begin to look around. I was setting there like that and listening to Brother Bosworth, and admiring him. And just as he said that, I felt the Holy Spirit move down. Oh, that same Wind that come, "Whew!" I looked around to my wife, looked back to my brother.
He said, "Set still, Bill."
I felt It again going, "Whew," Something moving. You can call me a fanatic if you want to, go ahead and you'll settle it at the judgment bar of God. I felt Something moving. I raised up.
Howard said, "Bill, set down."
I said, "Leave me alone, Howard, in the Name of the Lord. He's near."
