<TITLE>11. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 So after the preaching service that Sunday afternoon, I walked back there and she had on about enough clothes you could put in an aspirin box. And she... And here she come, she had a pair of specks out on a stick, holding it out like that. Now, you know good and well, that nobody could see through specks that far away from her, like that, holding it out like that.
And here she come with her head up like that, looking through those specks, bracelets all up and down her arms and earrings hanging down like stirrups on the devil's saddle...?... started walking down through there like that, with them specks over her eyes, and she said, "Are you Dr. Branham?"
I said, "No, ma'am." I said, "I'm Brother Branham."
She said, "Well, Dr. Branham, I'm charmed to meet you."
Had that big fat hand up like this. I grabbed it; I told her, "Get it down here so I will know you when I see you again."

L-41 All that stuff, put on. There's nothing to it. It's nonsense. Sure, who are you anyhow? Walk around with a fifty dollar coat on and nose stuck up, if it'd rain you'd drown you, and think you're something. You're six foot of dirt. If your soul ain't saved, you're lost! No other way out of it. But that's the world today. "Oh, we're somebody. We belong somewhere." Then make fun and call people holy-rollers. Oh, my.
I could see Mary run out and grab Elisabeth and them together, they put their arms around one another. And I can hear Mary say, "Oh, Elisabeth, I am so happy and delighted to see you." She knew she was to be mother. And she said, "I have heard that you're to be a mother." Let's dramatize this a minute, now.

L-42 I can hear Elisabeth say, "Yes, Mary, that's right, but I'm worried."
"Why?"
"Why, it's--it's six months with me as a mother and there's no life yet." Now, that's altogether subnormal: About two, three months. So it said, "Six months and no life, I'm worried about it."
"Why," she said, "I wouldn't be worried. Now listen, I know, you're going to be a mother, 'cause the Angel has told me so. But the Angel appeared to me also, and said that I was going to have a Son, knowing no man. And I would call His Name Jesus."
And just as soon as that Name of Jesus went forth first through the mortal lips of a being, that little dead baby in the mother's womb received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, begin to leap and jump for joy. That's right.
Brother! If It'll make a dead baby in the womb of a woman jump for joy, what ought it do to a born again Church? Certainly. When Jesus Name was first spoke through the lips of a mortal... Amen. Talk about demons screaming and coming out, sinners weeping... That Name, you can't sling it and half way reverence it and then have power with it, you got to believe it and reverence it. God will grant it.

L-43 Now, said, "As soon as thy salutation," said, "Blessed are..." the Holy Ghost jumped on the mother. Said, "Whence cometh the mother of my Lord? For as soon as thy salutation come into my ears, my baby leaped in the womb for joy."
Talk about shouting something new, huh, why, it's the oldest religion in the world, the shouting religion. Why thousands of years before the world was ever founded, God asked Job one day, said, "Where was you when I laid the foundation of the world, when the morning stars sing together, and the sons of God shouted for joy?" Talk about something new, we just got a new case of the old time kind, that's all. Certainly. Shouted for joy, what a time, my...
