<TITLE>14. Par 44-48</TITLE>L-44 She said, "Sir, I'll tell you what I'll do. If you'll just get me in where that man's at, I'll be able to find my daddy after that." Oh, my.
I felt my heart drop right away from me. I thought poor, old blind thing. I said, "Look lady, do you mean that?"
She said, "Yes."
"Oh," I said, "maybe I'm the one you're supposed to see." And she grabbed me like that.
She said, "Is you the healah?"
I said, "No, ma'am." I said, "I'm Brother Branham. Jesus is the Healer." And she grabbed me.
She said, "Oh, Brother Branham, has mercy on me. Has mercy on me." And I thought of poor old blind Fanny Crosby.
Pass Me Not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.

L-45 And I looked, and I thought, "Her only hope, Christ." I said, "Now, I don't want to be recognized in the crowd, lady. You bow your head and we'll have a word of prayer." I said, "First, I want to hold your hand while I'm praying." I couldn't get her hand off of my coat. She wasn't going to let me go.
And I said, "Now, let me have your hand."
She said, "Don't pass me." And I took a hold of her hand, pulled it off, and held her hand. And while I was praying... Now, you can mark this fanaticism if you want to; that would be between you and God. See? I could only tell the truth. Something happened. I knew the woman was healed. I was waiting for the shrinkage of that cataract.

L-46 I said, "Now, you keep your lids closed over your eyes." I said, "Now, you raise your head just about to where you think my voice is coming. And I'll tell you what to do.
She said, "Yes, suh." Said, "Something cold went over me."
I said, "Just raise your head." I said, "Now, open your eyes for THUS SAITH THE HOLY SPIRIT, you've received your sight."
And she opened her eyes. And she said, "Is that lights?"
And I said, "Yes."
She said, "Is them black dots there, is that people?" And it begin coming plainer. "O," she says, "O Lord, I who was once blind can now see." She let out a big scream. And then... they'd been... some people had been standing there watching it. And here they come. My! You talk about...

L-47 And I happened to look. And there was an old man standing there with a cane, an old club in his hand. His leg was twisted sideways. He said, "Brother Branham, I know you." He said, "I been standing in this rain for eight or ten days here." Said, "You wouldn't pass me, would you, Brother Branham?" Said, "I got a bunch of kiddies at home." Said, "They need me." Said, "A wagon run over me and I'm... twisted my leg like this."
I said, "Do you believe?"
"With all my heart."
I said, "Then in the Name of the Lord Jesus, give me your cane."
And God, Who is my sovereign Judge, when the man in an act of faith handed the cane, his leg come straight, and he jumped into the air and screamed to the top of his voice.

L-48 I looked and here come the men, just pressing their way through, getting to me. And about that time, women, men, just pressing every way, and women trying to hold their little babies over to touch me. Or... It's a pathetic thing. I got babies setting here tonight too. If one of them was sick, I'd feel the same way if some help could come from somewhere.
You might say it's crazy and... No, it wasn't. You get in a desperate condition and you'll do something...?... too. Like Jairus was... At that time, I'll tell you the truth, my wife setting present over here now... I couldn't afford a suit of clothes to that time.
