<TITLE>10. Par 26-30</TITLE>L-26 And the next night, I was holding a service. He was setting way up in the balcony. He'd holler, "Everybody keep still." He'd raise up and holler, "Praise the Lord for healing me," set back down. I'd preach a little bit. He'd say, "Now, everybody keep still." He'd raise up, "Praise the Lord for healing me." He just kept on. He was doing just what he was told to do.
And listen, if you Protestants would obey the Scriptures, and things, as well a Catholic obeys his commands, we'd have a different Church. Right. You ever get one of them to see the truth, brother, that settles it. That's it. He will do what you tell him.

L-27 I said, "Just keep on saying, 'Thank God, Praise the Lord.'" Well, two or three nights later, he was still doing the same thing. He'd do it every night. He'd disturb the meeting even. When I'd be having a prayer line, he'd stand up and holler, "Praise the Lord for healing me." And everybody'd turn around and look. He'd go on.
And then I'd been gone away from the place for about two or three weeks. And he was standing on the corner, selling papers. He'd holler, "Extra! Praise the Lord for healing me. Extra! Praise the Lord for healing me."
Well, the people thought, "The old man is kind of, a little slipped in the mind." So, they just never paid any attention.

L-28 He asked another little newsboy, if he'd lead him across to the barbershop where some smart-aleck was going to shave him. And so he got one side of his face lathered. He said, "Say, dad, I heard when this fellow, Branham, that divine healer was down here, you was up to the meeting."
Said, "Yep. I was up there." He was shaving him along you know, getting his beard down.
He said, "I heard you went over to the meeting."
He said, "Yep. I went over."
Said, "I heard the Lord healed you."
He said, "Yep. Praise the Lord. He healed me." And his eyes come open. He looked around. He said, "I am healed now."

L-29 And out of that chair he went with a towel around his neck, the barber trying to grab him with a razor in his hand. Down the street he went as hard as he could go. And that man is preaching Divine healing, holding campaigns tonight.
He said, "I know this one thing, that God is true. I was blind and now I see." Ought...
Up at the House of David in Benton Harbor, Michigan, I was setting up there... This Jew that knew him... And he said, "Why, a notable deed has been done to John." He said, "What authority did you do that by?"
I said, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God."
He said, "He wasn't the Son of God."
"Why," I said, "He done the work just the same."
And he said, "Oh..."
I said, "Don't you believe He was the Son of God?"
He said, "No." Said, "I believe He was a good Man."
And I said, "Well, He was the Son of God."

L-30 He said, "No doubt a notable deed has been done to John here." He said, "But--but it couldn't have been Jesus Christ." Said, "It could've..." Said, "Because Jesus wasn't the Christ." He said, "You Gentiles can't chop God in three pieces and hand Him to a Jew."
I said, "Some of them might chop Him in three pieces, but I don't." No, sir. I said, "There's one God. And that God Jehovah was manifested in flesh here in His Son, Christ Jesus." I said, "You just got the wrong slant to it."
I begin to quote to him Scripture, Isaiah 9:6, and so forth. Come over and after a while he said... stood there and looked around. He said, "Oh, I believe He was a good Man."
I said, "Will you stay with that?"
He said, "Yes." He said, "Well, I believe He was a Prophet."
I said, "If He was a good Man, He wouldn't lie. If He was a Prophet, He couldn't hardly lie and still be a Prophet. So, you believe He was the Son of God."
