<TITLE>21. Par 262-278</TITLE>L-262 She turned around, started walking on. Her daughter said, "Now, mother, what are we going to do now?" Said, "All the traffic, it would be dangerous to walk that bridge." Said, "We can't walk the bridge now."
She said, "I don't know. He told me to go give it, and that's all I had."
Walking down the street, and just then she happened to look. Her daughter said, "Oh, mother, look. Here lays a nickel." And she happened to look, and she said, "And here lays the dime."
What is it? Just the way He does things. He lets us know He's here.

L-266 Here this last summer I was out, meetings. My wife come in, she said, "Billy, I got to have a check. Got to go get some groceries."
Some poor old preacher come by here, said, "Brother Branham, I'm out of money." Said, "I--I'm broke. I've got to go to Texas." Said, "I--I'll pay you someday when I can." Said, "Will you help me, help me?" Said, "I want fifty dollars."
I went down to the bank, see if I had it. Well, I had just--just about a hundred, so I went over and give him fifty dollars of it. He took it and went on.
The little things coming up, you know how it is. Wife said, "Billy, I got to have a check this morning, about twenty dollars, got to go get some groceries." We went down and got the groceries. Come back. She forgot eggs. We wasn't getting any. So I thought, "Oh, my, well," thought, "maybe somebody will do something."

L-270 So I went over, and I was helping Mr. May, was kind of... Wasn't nobody at the house yet, and I was shoveling some dirt over there. I happened to look, and I seen an old car come in, drove into the side, and set down. An old preacher got out of there, kind of crippled up, and come walking up, sit on the porch, leaned back. I thought, "That poor, old broke-down preacher; I--I got to go over and see him."
I went over. I said, "Good morning."
He said, "How do you do, Rev. Branham?" Said, "I don't guess you know me." And he told me who he was. Said, "I'm one of these poor preachers." He said, "I was up in Cleveland; they give me enough gasoline, get this far." And said, "My old car is about dry out there. Said, "Something told me to come by here." Said, "Maybe you would help me a little."
I looked at him. I thought, "My, mm," you know. I thought, "Poor old fellow."
I said, "Let's have prayer."
He said, "I want you to pray. I got a bad hip."
And I said, "All right." We knelt down and started to pray.

L-273 When I started praying, the Lord said, "Give him five dollars."
I said, "Well, Lord, 'course, You know all about it. You, You know whether it's there or not."
And I said, "The Lord told me to give you five dollars."
Said, "That's too much, Brother Branham."
I said, "But He told me to give you five dollars." And I wrote the check. I said, "Take it over to Strother's; they'll cash it." I thought, "Now, what?" Went on out. He drove away, and was gone a little while.

L-276 There was a man working on the house over there, come over with Mr. Luther. He said, "Say, preacher!"
And I said, "Yeah."
Said, "You know," said, "I got a hundred hens at home." And said, "Them old hens," said, "I--I give them all the starters and everything else and the feeds," and said, "I can't get them things to lay." He said, "About a week ago, I got down, I said, 'Lord, if You'll just--if You'll just make these hens lay, I'll give half the eggs away.'" Said, "You know, they started laying." Said, "Next day I got ninety eggs." He said, "I--I got a case of eggs here, I want to give you." Five dollars, just exactly.

L-278 What is it? Just the way He does things. What am I trying to say this morning? I'm trying to say this: that Jesus Christ lives and reigns. He's rose from the dead. He broke the bread. Their eyes come open. They recognized that it was Him, just the way He did anything. You watch along and you'll find out; just the way He does things, He still lives and reigns.
 He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
 Ask me how I know He lives?
 He lives within my heart.
