<TITLE>09. Par 22-25</TITLE>L-22 And I prayed eight days and nights without leaving the platform. Took my meals and laid against the side of the pulpit and sleep. And when I left, there was about ten times as many to be prayed for as there was when I started: no end to it, on and on.
But, brother, God confirmed His Word. And the other day when I was standing there, literally hundreds and hundreds of them raising their voices to God, "I was healed in that meeting, Brother Branham."
A little woman said, "Don't you remember me?"
And I said, "No." Her husband... Her boy, rather, is an exterminator over at--at Texarkana. She come through the line, had her hand up like this; I thought she was weeping. And I stopped. It was early one morning. And I said, "Say, you got a cancer, haven't you, lady?" She moved back the handkerchief, and there was no nose there, it had done eat it off. The cancer had eat her face off, a young woman, about thirty-five years old.

L-23 And I said, "Do you believe?"
She said, "Brother Branham, I've got to believe."
I said, "Well, then sister, just accept it and believe with all your heart. I'll pray with all my heart for you. It's all I can do."
She said, "Ask God. That's all I want you to do. He will do it."
She'd seen this John Rhyn, not the old man with the white hair, when he set on the street begging nickels. God made him well. He'd come through the line a few nights before that. And he walked through the line, and I said, "I see that you're--that you're blind."
He said, "Yes, sir."
I said, "Aren't you a Catholic?"
And he said, "I am."
And I said, "Do you believe that God will heal you?"
He said, "Yes, sir." He said, "I hear some woman over there was screaming, that said a goiter had left her throat."

L-24 I said, "Yes, sir. That's right." He said... And I said, "Do you believe me to be God's servant?" I have to say that, 'cause the Angel told me if you get the people to believe you. See? So not believe me as Him. Believe that He sent me to pray for you. See? Like Peter and John said, "Look on us." And I--I said, "All right."
And I had prayer for him. And I seen a vision before the old man. I said, "Now, you have received your sight. Go and be made whole." He went away. In a few minutes, here he come back, two men leading.
He said, "Preacher, you told me I'd received my sight." I said... "That I'm healed."
I said, "You are."
"Why," he said, "I can't see a thing."
I said, "That don't have nothing to do with your healing. You're already healed."
He said, "Well, if--if I was healed, I could see, couldn't I?"
I said, "Not right now, you might not. But God said you was going to see." I said, "I told you, I seen a vision and you're going to receive your sight."

L-25 He may be setting right here tonight, for all I know. The same man. I said, "God said... I seen a vision. You're going to receive your sight."
He said, "Well, looks like if I was healed that I'd be able to see."
I said, "Not exactly, it might not happen now, it might happen a week from now, a month from now, a year from now. But it's got to come to pass."
And he said, "Well, I don't understand that." And away he went. Few minutes, here he come back again. Said, "I can't see yet."
And I said, "Well, that don't have nothing to do with it."
He said, "Well, you told me I was healed."
I said, "Look, sir, you're fixing to--to lose what you have received." I said, "You told me you believed me."
He said, "I do."
I said, "What are you questioning me about then? If you believe me, believe what I've told you."
"Oh," he said, "I--I understand what you mean." See, he'd just got it. He said, "What must I do, preacher?"
I said, "Just go home and but say, 'Praise the Lord' and go on."
Well now, he--raised in a--in a Catholic church, he'd never been used to anything like that. So, he just gets out and kept hollering, "Praise the Lord."
