<TITLE>08. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 Standing there the other night, a lady come up. This man said, "I smell a spirit of an infirmity." Now, the sense of smelling declaring a supernatural being, you know that's not right. And yet, five or six thousand people setting there. "I... 'Sniff, sniff [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.]' I smell an infirmity. 'Sniff, sniff [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.].' It's here somewhere." Now, you know... I'm not criticizing the man. I'm just only... I ask you first if you were Pentecostal people. I'm trying to get something to you that's the truth.

L-20 And brother, now, I'm going to make a confession. I think I'm the cause of a big part of it. Now, that's right. And I ask God to forgive me. If I'd have kept my senses right and not listened to a bunch of managers to try to just bring everybody by and this, that, or the other. And went ahead and done what God told me to, I'd been better off tonight and so would the whole church. That's right. It's true.
Now, that's the honest truth. Sure, that's a sign. Absolutely. I'll give anyone... You go down to my city; you take any of my books; you go anywhere you want to and see if one thing was ever predicted, anything... And if I was dying right here at this platform tonight, and my hands laying on the Bible right here before my Lord Jesus, He is the supernatural Light that you see. I have seen Him.
I've seen Him right out there, standing, with my eyes wide open, looking at Him. He's come to me and told me things. And that gift of discernment to know things that was to come to pass and how He reveals it, it's without one blemish, the honest to goodness truth. Now, that's right. That's...

L-21 And that wasn't done to... Moses, when he had taken his signs, he didn't go down and say, "Now, looky here. I'm healing my hand with leprosy. You see? And I'm taking this..." He did it once. And then said, "Come on. Follow me."
But that's been wrong. Everybody has rallied to see the gift work. Everybody has rallied to see this work. And every person that they think... If God don't tell them just what's in their life and how it's going to outcome, they can't step out for faith. It's--it'll become such a thing, like the brass serpent was, one of these days. The prophet run in there and tore the thing up. That's the truth. Now, I'm preaching to myself. And what's that... If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. And I did wrong in doing that.

L-22 When thousands of people has come to the meeting, I ought to have been bringing them across the platform praying for them, what God told me to do. Don't you think that's the truth? So, by God's grace and God's help, and if He will give me grace to do it, I'm intending by His help... Sure, them signs, that gift, it'll always accompany my life. It'll always be as long as I'm here on earth. That'll be just the same. "Gifts and callings are without repentance. God will deal with me the way I use it. But it's without repentance. It'll always remain there. That's true.
And I--if I'd have went ahead like I started at first, I just brought the people across the line, and I prayed for each one of them. And when God--something showed me that there was something wrong, or something I should tell a person, I stopped them and told them what to do. And then I went ahead and prayed for another one. I'd pray for a hundred, or maybe a hundred and fifty, two hundred a night, maybe more than that. And people just flocked in everywhere.
