<TITLE>07. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 There's a man in here, down here in Baltimore, I believe it was, got a auditorium that seated ten thousand people, absolutely free, the whole month of July, air conditioned, with five hundred preachers signed up. I got the papers laying on my desk today, some of the Methodist, some of them Baptist, and Full Gospel preachers; five hundred of them to cooperate with the meeting. Brother Bosworth said, "You can't beat that, Brother Branham."
I said, "God can." One place where He'd tell me; I don't care if there would be five people there. If He tells me to go, that's where I want to go. It isn't the idea of how many people is there; it's the will of God we have under consideration.

L-28 Now, these men who would pray for the sick, and come up, and they say, "We'll be there in this year, and we'll be able back at a certain date." And the papers are going out. That's all right. That's their ministry. Mine's not that type of ministry. And so, I don't know where else to go tomorrow. And I... Wherever the Lord will would say...
And then, Brother Baxter said, "There's many people here; there's some people from Battle Creek; there's some people from over in there, and down here, and up there at Minneapolis, and all around, people from San Francisco, and so forth, those meetings to be set.
I said, "Brother Baxter, I have no leading at all, none at all."
He said, "Well, let's go into Chicago. They got a great big place up there, big arena of a place."
I said, "Sounds all right."

L-29 Then he started to go down there, one day, he said, "Well, shall I secure it? Mr. Boze and some of the ministers, was on."
I said, "No. You better wait a minute."
I took my wife and them, and went down, and took my mother to the...?... in the room with then. I walked back and went over towards this place, and the Holy Spirit, said, "Stay out of there." And I stayed out, too. I just bypassed it on by. So then, I don't know why. I don't know. Then He said, "Turn aside to Zion." I'd promised that a long time ago, and I was still under obligation. I said, "All right. I will go over to Zion."
And then Brother Baxter come to me, said, "What about... Where we going from here?"
I said, "Now, Brother Baxter, I have no leading."
He said, "Brother Branham, if we get an auditorium, you got to--we got to trace it down."
And I said, "Yes, that's true."
He said, "Well, what do you think about Battle Creek?" Said, "Would you like to go up to Battle Creek?"
I said, "Battle Creek is just the same as it is any of the rest of them." And I said, "I think it'd be all right."
And--and so he--he said, "Well, I will find out. I'm going leave that up to the ministers, call them up or something another." He come back, he said, "Do you feel like you'd like to go to Battle Creek?"
