<TITLE>09. Par 33-37</TITLE>L-33 And I woke up my wife; I said, "Honey, something is happening. I don't know whether to announce a vision, or whether... I--I went to sleep; I don't know." I said, "It seems too clear to be asleep. But I'm not sure." I told her what it was.
"Oh," I said, "we'll see if it was a dream, 'cause I was awake," I said, "I might've went back to sleep. See?" I said, "I don't know, I can't tell what happened."
In a few minutes we went on out and was called out to breakfast, and after breakfast, all day long, I kept saying, "...?... keep staying with me." I tried to throw if off my mind, you know. And I just dreamed that. You can't put confidence in a dream. You know that. So I--I just... Well, that's a dream. That wasn't that. But I said, "It--it felt...?... with me."

L-34 When I got over to Chicago, I called Brother Baxter. I said, "Brother Baxter, the strangest thing, something tells me turn to my left." And I said, "I don't know."
He said, "Well..." He--he was in a hurry. He went on. He come over here. And then when I got over here...
The Holy Spirit caught me the other day, "I told you to turn to your left." And then, in my room I'd been kind of perplexed about the way things was going. It didn't seem like the Spirit of God was operating right in the meeting.
Brother Baxter come, said, "Brother Branham?"

L-35 I said, "Yes." I said, "Now, if it's a gift of God, that operates anywhere. That's gift and callings are without repentance. You see? God will hold you responsible for what you do with it. See? And so then, I said, "There's something wrong." I said, "Little auditorium that won't seat over twenty-five hundred people. And there's that little group." I said, "That... But that isn't it, Brother Baxter." I said, "There's something wrong, the whole thing."
Said, "Brother Branham, I can't even speak."

L-36 And I said, "I don't know what's wrong." And I said, "I--I can't tell you." And I said, "Well, I'm taking tomorrow afternoon and closing myself up, and stay before God." And that's when He told me; I repented. And we called a minister. One of the ministers, Brother...?... from the... Brother Baxter said "Will you speak to him?"
I said, "Yes. I will speak to Brother...?..." I said, "Brother Baxter, I don't know." And then I said, "here I stood after He revealed it to me coming up to that Lake Michigan, that blue water turning that way." I said, "Certainly! I don't know what in the world is the matter with me, Brother Baxter, that I didn't recognize that...?..." And I said, "I--I've asked God to forgive me and I've asked Him to forgive me." You heard me speak in the meetings, or in the beginning of the week." I said, "I don't know why I ever did that."

L-37 Then Brother...?... came up, he's setting in the room, as a gallant pastor of a little group of people, we discussed it. And he said, "Brother Branham, I have... I--I--I know that God did this."
I said, "I'm not disputing your word, Brother...?..."
He said, "But looky here."
Then Brother Baxter said, "Now, Brother Branham, we got the minister, this brother here, under consideration."
I said, "Yes. That's right."
Said, "The rest are cooperating ministers, fourteen churches, and got them under consideration."
I said, "That's right, brother." And just then the Holy Spirit... I felt It. If you believe me to God's servant, you listen to me now. God Almighty has permitted me to be kind of mixed up in that vision, for the first time in my life, to get me right back on the same principle that I was at...?... , South Africa. There it was. The ministerial group, with this all under consideration, and even the manager, speaking towards the ministerial group, and here I was standing here, to make myself to serve God, do what God did, or do what the ministers said do. That was my place. I... The grace of God proved out.
