<TITLE>13. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 We entered the room. And we were very--had a very fine welcome by the people. And so I walked over to see Mrs. Nightingale. Now, if she hadn't eat a bite that would've been, I guess, two months before that or more, well, hadn't it, Mr. Bosworth? Now, she hadn't eaten a bite since then, and her limbs then we just about like that, and her legs were all blue, where they'd... Her veins had collapsed, and it was a terrible looking sight.
So I looked at her and I seen her face how thin and all eaten away. And I said, her doctor there, I said, "Any chance for her?"
He said, "Not a chance."
I said, "Oh, my. That's too bad." I walked over. I said, "How do you do, Mrs. Nightingale?"
She couldn't speak. She was moving her lips, but she didn't have strength enough that I could hear her. The nurse got down, and she said, "She wants to shake your hand, Brother Branham," the nurse said.
Of course, her grandmother being the founder of the Red Cross, you can imagine what she had: the best that could be gotten. So when they brought that woman's hand out from under that sheet. It was just like taking a hold of that. I never seen... I took a hold of her hand and it's just like a skeleton. The bones had already just come to skin tight. Not a bit of flesh was...?... And her face here was just like where her jaw, where you could see her teeth here, the shape of her teeth through her jaw her--her cheeks here. Her teeth was shaped into her cheeks like that when she'd go to open her mouth.
I never seen anything like it alive. I said, "How's she living?"

L-47 They didn't know. And so she was crying, and the nurse got down again. She said, "They want you to see her body. She wants you to see her body." Well, I've got a mixed audience. Now, I'm your brother, but when they taken the sheet off of her body, it--it would break the heart of an iron man.
As the lady is, her bosom, breast, had dropped plumb through her ribs. And in the hip here, the flesh had just about sticking to the ring. Her legs here, up here, was about that big around. Her stomach part in here was just about like that. How that woman was living I--I can't tell you.
She couldn't move, couldn't move a finger nor nothing. And she was weeping, and the nurse got down. She said, "Reverend Branham, she wants you to pray to God, to have God to let her die. She can't die."
And I said, "Oh, my." Brother Lindsay turned away, and many of them started weeping, walking away. They walked over there to where the doctor was standing.

L-48 I stood there a little bit, and the other nurse said, "Reverend Branham," said, "she sure has had lots of faith in you." Said, "She's read your books, and she said when she was in Africa, if she could ever get where you were, that God would heal her." Oh, such faith.
And I said, "Can we pray?" We knelt down. I don't know how you're going to believe this, but God knows what's true. And we're all going to meet at the judgment seat. And I knelt like this, and the ministers and all of them knelt around, doctor also, and the nurses. And there's a window about this high. And I knelt down by the side of that window, and the window was up.
And I started prayer, "Almighty God, Creator of heavens and earth..." I couldn't ask Him to let her die after her having that much faith. I said, "Have mercy upon her, God. I pray that You will."
