<TITLE>06. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 Well, maybe tonight you might have seined through every doctors office in the country. Maybe you've been to healing meetings and been anointed a many times. But tonight, "At Thy Word, Lord, here I come." That's the way it is. "At Thy Word, Lord, I'm going to let down the net, 'cause You told me if I'd ask anything in Your Name, You'd do it. And I believe that's the truth, and I'm letting down the net right now at Your command."
Don't be afraid; ask a whole lot. You have not because you ask not. You ask not because you believe not. That's right. "Ask, and you shall receive; seek, you shall find; knock, it'll be opened." That's God's Word.
Now, we'll let down for the draught. I can see that old apostle running that big seine out there in the water, getting ready. And when he begin to pull on the net, made a couple pulls, there wasn't nothing. After while something begin to tug, begin to take a hold. Just let down one time and try it. The little effort you might not feel much. The second little effort you might not. May go several efforts. But after while you feel a tugging. Something caught a hold. Something's on the other end of the line.

L-20 Like the little boy caught the electricity in the bottle. He said, "I got it, I got it." He didn't know what he had, but he had something. Believe God; take Him at His Word. "At Thy Word, Lord, I will let down the net." And that's what he did and caught the multitude of fishes.
Unbelief, the first thing you know, would've caught that when he said, "Let down the net and take up the draught," where they been fishing through. How foolish to the carnal mind. "Well," they said, "there's no fish there."
But God had put fish there for His Word, 'cause He'd already spoke, "Let down the net for the draught," and if--if there's nothing there to work on, God will put something there to work on if He said so. If you believe Him, take Him at His Word.

L-21 And now, another thing, they had seined within themselves all night and had got nothing. But one time taking God's Word for it, they got all the fish, and even begin to sink their boats. Men's extremity is God's opportunity. When you've gone as far as you can, when the doctor's done all he can do for you, it's--that's the time that God can go to talking to you. But when you got something you can lean upon besides God, you'll do it. And when it comes to the last bit, then--then you can talk to a person about his soul.
I know a man here not long ago; I couldn't speak to him at all. I'd say--he make fun of the meeting. He said, "Oh, Billy's cracked in the head." Went on and said all kinds of things. And he was a doctor too, an intern at the hospital.

L-22 And the other night, about a few weeks ago, I was out there on an emergency call. He called me down to the room, he said, "Brother Branham," little bit different then; he said, "they're going to take my arm off." Said, "I got five children," said, "what will I do?"
"Well," I said, "I don't know."
He said, "Brother Branham, I know one of our nurses here; we doctored her for about three years with foot trouble." And said, "Now, she went up there one time, was prayed for and she's normal and well."
Said, "I know her, Margie Morgan."
Said, "Brother Branham, you think God will help me?"
I said, "If you'll change your attitude and believe Him."
