<TITLE>04. Par 6-7</TITLE>L-6 The last time I was here at the tabernacle to pray for the sick, I remember, I'd made a statement, that there would be a time, that when the Holy Spirit... Remember how I used to take the people by the hand and hold their hand? And I wait just a little while to see what He was going to say, and find out what was wrong with the people. You remember when it used to... How many was here in the old meetings? Well, my, some old-timers here. You remember what He said to me, before starting?
"Now, if you'll be sincere, it'll come to pass that you'll know the very secrets of the people's heart." You remember that? Remember that? Well, God doesn't tell things wrong. He always tell things right. And that... We want to believe God with all of our heart.
I remember one morning, coming out of a room, setting here looking at Sister Reed, I was thinking one morning, coming out of the room, I was so tired, in their little stucco home they lived in down here. And she got out on the piano and begin to play for me. And I remember, went back, and we was praying in there, and the Lord spoke to me that, "There would be a boy in their home." And when I heard of it, I was... I think I was in one of the islands or somewhere. But somebody told me, my wife, or some of them, said, "Just got a card from Brother Reed." Said, "That little boy is here." So I was so happy to hear that. Thank the Lord.

L-7 Oh, He's done the exceedingly abundantly about all that we could do or think. I love Him with all my heart.
Is this the same platform, Brother Reed? I don't think it is, is it? I remember, kneeling right along here somewhere, where the people... And I said, "I'm going to pray for everybody that comes along." I stood there for night after night, after night. I got me a new pair of shoes, and I started home with the toes turned up on the ends, like that, where I had been kneeling down; praying so long, the toes was setting right back like this. And I... My, way early in the morning, I'd still be here praying for the sick. And they'd bring me some orange juice, or something, I'd slip around behind the desk here and drink it, and get back over in the prayer line, and get started again. Well, I still love Him the same tonight. He's sweeter than He was then. Amen. For I know more about Him now. And He... I... He's proven Hisself over and over. And Christian friends, if I would set in to try to tell the half that He's done, since then, you know what time it would be? This time next month we'd still be here talking about what He's done, the marvelous, matchless things
This always seemed to me like a--the hoping off place for me, right here on this blessed old Bible Hour Tabernacle. Seemed like it was right here it started off, somehow. The little... What was that paper? Sun? [A brother speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] Sun? Yeah. "Arkansas Sun," or "Jonesboro Sun." That little paper, got a hold of some of the articles, very lovely written up. And that got on the--on the Associated Press, which they're members, and it sweeped across the country. Wife and I were answering all the mail, you know, and so we had a wash basket, a few days, piled full of mail. Well, we couldn't do it then. So we just had to get started, get a little office set up. Since then, now, we got around about fifteen of those offices across the world: Sweden, Finland, Germany, Africa, Norway, Belgium, France, two in Canada.
So it just shows that our Lord's great work carries everywhere, doesn't it? But He's still the same lovely Lord Jesus.
