<TITLE>03. Par 3-5</TITLE>L-3 But one night, up here in Indiana, I was praying at an old fishing camp, where I used to go fishing. I'd go back in there many times to pray. And He had come to me. Under this Light, stood a Man, around six foot tall, hundred and--two hundred pounds, big arms, dark hair to His shoulders. And He was standing under that Light. And He told me I was borned in this world, to pray for sick people. Now, that's what He told me.
And said, "And you're to go be--pray for people around the world, for kings and monarchs and so... How could I believe that with a grammar school education? And I said to Him, I said, "Sir, I dwell among my people which is poor, and I'm uneducated, therefore I could not do this." He said--I said, "They wouldn't believe me."
And He said, "As the prophet Moses was given two signs, so shall it be given to you. Of two signs of a vindication of your ministry."
And--and I said, "Me? Pray for kings?" He said that was what I was to do. All right.
And so then, He said... I asked Him and He told me what to--what it would be. How I'd say... to pray for the people. And said for a Divine healing. And then said, "You'll know the very secrets of their heart."
And I said, "That's what I was here praying about. They told me (my ministers and them) told me it was of the devil." And He told me it was of God and referred to these Scriptures that I refer to, of Jesus Christ how He'd know the thoughts of the people's--of the woman at the well and so forth.

L-4 Well, I told Him I'd go and that's been six years ago, yeah, nearly seven. In that time, I've visit three kings' palaces, which has called on me to pray for them. And doctors and great men of congressmans and everything has been healed throughout the entire world, statesmans and everything.
I tell you what I've done, my Christian friend, as a confession. I say this without--without bitterness. I say this with the sincerity of my heart, before God Who is my solemn Judge. I believe I've done wrong in one way. I believe I've depended too much upon that discerning spirit instead of praying for the people.
Now, He never told me to go and tell everybody, just talk to them. He said, "Pray for the sick." That I was sent... And here's what He said, "If you'll be sincere when you pray and get the people to believe, nothing will stand before the prayer." Many of you has read that story, haven't you? How many has read my life story on that? I guess everybody in here. See?

L-5 It's published in seventeen different languages around the world. So, it's... And tonight, by God's grace, at seven years ago, just a little local Baptist preacher here in Jeffersonville, tonight by God's grace and His help, I have contacted, direct or indirect, around ten million people, and has sent out many great campaigns across the world.
Right in my own meetings, there's been nearly a half a million converts. And I don't know what it's produced out in others.
And now, by that I'm very thankful. But here's what I think I've done. I think in bringing the people up... If I could show you in my office, just for the last year that I've kept, just of letters, who says, "Brother Branham, I--I love you as a Christian brother. But I've been to as many as fourteen and fifteen of your meetings, and I can never be able to get up there for you to pray for me." Well, then I get others that...
