<TITLE>10. Par 38-41</TITLE>L-38 I said, "Brethren, I love you. You know that, and God knows that, with all my heart." I said, "But the Holy Spirit tells me to go yonder on the other side of the lake." And I said, "I'm not going to do like I did in Africa, wait till something happens." And I said, "I'm going to the other side of the lake."
So then, I said, "I love you. And God knows that, but I must be obedient to God. And I promised Him I'd never do it again." And I said, "I must do it." And I said, "Now, Brother Baxter, in confirmation...?..."
And just as the day...?... waiting for the auditorium and so forth...?... See how it was? Just exactly. I said, "Now, we don't want to do this other thing, like this...?... them here."
Now, Brother...?... I guess he's setting somewhere in...?...  listening to me, and he's a very fine Christian gentleman. And he was fighting for his church, of course, and for his prestige. And if it be...?... he said, he told the people of this meeting, and so forth. I said... He said, "What will I do about the public?"

L-39 Now, I knowed that was a hard thing after he had set the meeting up. That was a slip up on Brother Baxter. He shouldn't have made the meeting like that in the beginning. He should've set it just like we had it agreement to. But he seen the other meetings had done already...?... thought maybe this one was the same.
So he said, of course, he's setting, listening to me. And he said, "From this on, I never did set that up like that again. I will let it be according to the Holy Spirit."
Then, notice what taken place. Then, "Come..." To Brother...?... He said, "Look, I can't understand, Brother Branham, that why that God would answer our prayer, and then make all these things possible here, and then turn around and send you."
I said, "Brother...?... you know what you need here in this city?" Now, here we are, friends, I am responsible to God. "What you need in this city is a good old-time, Gospel Holy Ghost church in the city. You need a revival, not a healing service. You need a revival, and get people back on the spiritual line. Now, surely... Now, I love you. But, remember, friends, I'm duty bound to Jesus Christ. You need a--a revival. See? I said, "Looky here. Do you...
He said, "Well, the Christians might understand," but said, "the...?..."

L-40 I said, "Look at Philip having the biggest revival they ever had and the Holy Spirit told him, 'Get out of there and go out to the desert, Gaza!'" Is that right? He never returned back no more. He went on; the Holy Spirit told him there, and he left that meeting standing there. Philip was...?... the revival, had his revival.
Now, I said, "And also..."
He turned around, and the Holy Spirit said, "Move over to Brother Baxter." I seen that Light move down in the room, "Move over to Brother Baxter." I thought He was going to have me say something to Brother Baxter, but it switched and come to Brother...?... I seen there what He was doing. I said, "Now Brother...?... the Scripture you're thinking of now, is right by that Isaiah that went up to Hezekiah." Said, "That's what it was. That's exactly." Confirmation, the Holy Spirit there to prove. I said, "Looky here, there's a real Scripture." I said, "God told Isaiah, go up there and tell the King Hezekiah, set your house in order, for you're not coming off this bed. You're going to die." Is that right?

L-41 Now, let's just take this just for a moment. Now, the first thing you know, here comes all the people. Here's the high up's church, standing in the king's palace. There's the guards at the gate. There's the poor people on the outside looking. Here goes the prophet in to see... with the Word of the Lord. Comes back out, and here all the delegation of the king standing there saying, "Prophet of God, we know that the Word of the Lord dwelleth in you. What about the king?"
