<TITLE>07. Par 23-27</TITLE>L-23 Oh, my. No wonder you can't believe. It's no wonder you can't believe. Quit asking Dr. So-and-so; take what Jesus said. Let that settle it. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
That's the way the Pharisees and them, they had to go ask the priest whether it was all right to do this or do that. That's the reason they failed to see Jesus and recognize Who He was. Same thing they're failing to see the Holy Ghost today, the same thing. Christian friends, listen: They got churches, and we got everything, but they're failing to see that grain of life there, the Holy Spirit working signs and wonders among His people, what He promised to do. He said He would with us, even in us, to the end of the world.

L-24 Standing there praising the Lord for His goodness, I was looking out--out of a big window; it kind of dusty. You could still read a paper in the street. And I was long about eleven-thirty or twelve o'clock. All of them had done got to their rooms. And I was standing there, looking out the window like this, praising God cross them big cedar mountains there, with my hands up; I was praising Him. I felt something strange. Thought it looked kind of light around where I was standing.

L-25 Looked standing here to my side, and here He stood, arms crossed, looking at me, and setting before me, that wasn't there before, one of those long jars, about that high. And it had two Easter flowers, I call them, I don't know what they call them. Little flowers that come up, that's got a little bell-shaped on them. Yellow and some of them are white, comes up around Easter time. We call them; I believe they call daffodil is the right name of them, but they don't even grow in that country. But there he was in this jar. I thought, "Well, what's that?" And I noticed that one of them laying towards the north was laying flat on the table, down across the big high jar, laying down like this, and the other one was bent down.

L-26 And I looked at Him; there He stood just as He always does. He was a tall Man, dark hair to His shoulders, olive complexion, bare-footed, long white robe on, has His arms fold, weighed about two hundred pounds. He's always right under that Light. And He stood there. He was looking at me. And I said...?... around, I started to kneel down; He said, "What did your brother give you?"
And I said, "Two pieces of candy. And I laid them on the other... that table."
And He said, "Eat them." Well, I reached over and got those pieces of candy, and I put one in my mouth, begin to chew it. I was intending to eat it that night, and I just hadn't done it, just laid it down, and walked over there to praise the Lord. And I started chewing that piece of candy, tasted good, swallowed it. And when I swallowed it, that Easter flower that was laying flat towards the north, went "Swish-h-h. [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.]," stood right up like that. And I looked at it. I didn't understand it.

L-27 I looked back at Him. He said, "Eat the other piece." And I put it in my mouth, and oh, it was horrible, and yet the same kind of candy, like little blocks of chocolate. And I put it in my mouth. It tasted just like, I imagine starch should taste. Just... I took it out like that, and I noticed this other Easter flower was hanging about half-way down, and it started going down, down, down, down. I took her right on out. He said, "Fail to eat that and the other boy will die too." I put it back in my mouth, and I started chewing real fast and swallowed it real quick. And when I did, this one leaning towards the south went "Swish-h-h. [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.]"
