<TITLE>17. Par 122-130</TITLE>L-122 I was coming home from... Going into my room, and I heard something crying, and I looked around. I thought maybe it was someone who'd been attacked. It was a girl. And I looked back; I said... And I went back, I said, "What's the matter, Madam?"
And it was two little girls standing there, about seventeen, eighteen years old, apiece, their arms around one another, crying, said, "Brother Branham!" I knowed then they knowed me. Said, "We... I brought her all the way down here." Said, "She has to go to the insane institution." And the little girl was in my meeting up at Lubbock, Texas. And said, "I knowed if I'd ever get her down here and you'd have prayer for her, I believe God would heal her."
Well, I thought, "What faith." And I said, "Well now, sister, can you get her..." And just then I said, "You come down here in a yellow roadster, didn't you?"
Said, "Yes."
And I said, "You're mother is an invalid."
She said, "That's right."
And I said, "You belong to the Methodist church."
She said, "That's exactly the truth."
And I said, "On the road down, you almost turned over. You and this girl was laughing when you come around where it was half concrete and half asphalt, and you was turning a bend."
She said, "Brother Branham, that's the truth."
I said, "And THUS SAITH THE LORD, the girl's healed."

L-126 The next day she was burning the town up, telling everybody, going around about it. 'Course they didn't know her there, whether she was ever in that condition or not. And then that day I... Brother Baxter said, "Brother Branham," said, "them girls are down there packing their suitcase." And this is one thing that he didn't know that I knowed. Our finances had went plumb down. I never let him talk about it. But one of them girls had put nine hundred dollars in that--in that offering the night before that, and put that finance on the top. Now, he didn't--he don't know it to this day; but I knowed it. See? That I... God told me it would be all right.

L-127 Brother Baxter said, "Brother Branham," said, "you better let me make a little pull." Said, "They've had some of these here Divine healers down here that's just pulled this people."
I said, "Nothing. No, sir, you won't do it. Brother Baxter, whenever you make Pulls for money like that, that's the time you and I just shake one another's hands as brothers; I'll go alone." See? I said, "You don't do that." I said, "God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, and everything belongs to Him. I belong to Him. He'll take care of me."
He said, "All right."
And that very night he said, "Brother Branham, look here. Somebody... Look here. Here's an envelope in here, no name on it; it's got nine one hundred dollar bills in it, just exactly what we need to catch up."
I said, "Brother Baxter..."
He said, "Forgive me."

L-130 So then I knowed it was that girl. So then--then the next day, Brother Baxter said, "Brother Branham, they're down there packing up their clothes, crying."
I said, "What's the matter?"
Said, "You better go down and see them."
And I went down to the room where they was at. I said... "What room they're in?" I went down there and knocked on the door. I heard them crying. I knocked on the door, and the girl come to the door; she said, "Oh, Brother Branham, I'm so sorry." She said, "I've caused you all this trouble."
I said, "Trouble? What's the matter, sister?"
She said, "Oh, I've got the FBI after you."
And I said, "Oh, is that right?"
Said "Yeah." Said, "I guess I testified too much around town today and everything."
I said, "No."
And she said, "Brother Branham, the FBI is over there, is over there, going to expose you tonight."
I said, "Well, if I--if I'm doing anything wrong, I need to be exposed." See? I said, "Sure. If preaching the Gospel needs to be exposed, well, let's do it. See?" I said, "I--I--I live by this Bible, and what this Bible don't say... This is my Defense right here. See?" And I said, and he...
