<TITLE>33. Par 131-134</TITLE>L-131 I see It hanging right over me right now, hanging right out here. It moves right... It just looks to me like... Oh, I wish I could explain this. I know you might say, "Brother Branham's a fanatic." Well, I--I--I--I'm not. I'm--I'm not a fanatic. I'm your brother.
A little soldier standing here, the little fellow standing there, setting there praying. Yes. You're wanting... You're sick. You're needing healing, aren't you? It's something in your ear, isn't it? Yes, sir. It's a running in your ear. It won't heal up. Isn't that right? Put your hand over your ear. Lord Jesus, I pray that You'll take that away from him right now and make him well. O God, poor little fellow, out here a serving in the army. His--his ears are bad. Maybe You wanted him healed today. That's the reason You do this. I pray that You'll grant it right now in Divine vindication: Jesus, after preaching healed the sick. Now Lord, I pray as Your servant, I ask for healing for my brother in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen. God bless you, my brother. It's going to stop now. It'll be all right. God bless you.

L-132 Anyone--anyone wants the Holy Ghost? Would you come here and stand right here while we sing: "Almost Persuaded." Would you do it? Will you give us, sister, a chord on that, while the audience...? Would you come here? God bless you. This is it.
"Almost persuaded" now to believe;
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Now, we're not trying to take you from the Methodists, from the Baptists. We're trying to get you to receive the Holy Ghost and go back to your own church (See?), filled with God's blessings. Your pastor will appreciate it. Oh, you'll be so happy you've received the Holy Ghost. There's more in here should be standing here. What if Jesus would just now, you'd hear a scream, you'd look out, rainbows flashing through the skies, the sun going down, hanging yonder in the West dripping like black blood, too late then.
If you're not sure you're filled with the Holy Spirit, won't you come now? Sing once more, will you? Your mothers and fathers sing these old songs years ago. Won't you come now while we sing... All...

L-133 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] While the organ's a playing... There's others should be standing here. And don't tell me. I know there is. I feel led to say this. Right down here in your--heart of your city one night, I felt led to do this, and you know what I did? Walked out of the pulpit, a fine young Baptist girl, said, "The Lord is calling you, sister, tonight."
She said, "If I wanted somebody to tell me something like that, I'd get somebody had some sense, not you."
I said, "All right, very well." I said, "The Holy Spirit told me this was your day, your time."
She stuck her little nose up, very attractive looking girl, walked away out the door. There's some vines a growing out there. When I come out that night, if she didn't give me a beautiful bawling out.

L-134 About two years later, I was in the same city, going down the street. She was out of a fine family. Her father and mother both was Christians, belonged to a fine Baptist church.
I started going down the street, and I looked across the street in a real bad neighborhood, and there went that girl, her skirts hanging horrible looking. I just started walking along down the street to be sure that was her. She turned around, and she said, "Well, hello preacher," real slurry.
Said, "Howdy do."
Said, "You're the guy that called me out that night in the church, aren't you?"
And I said, "Yes, ma'am."
"Ha." She reached down in her pocketbook and lit up a cigarette, said, "Have a smoke."
I said, "Shame on you."
She said, "Maybe you'd like to have a little drink." She pulled her flask of whiskey out.
I said, "The very idea of you offering God's servant such a thing as that."
Said, "Nothing could happen to me any more." She puffed on her cigarette a little bit, maybe marijuana. She said, "You remember preacher, that night that you told me that God was giving me my call?"
I said, "Yes, I sure do remember it."
