<TITLE>08. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 Now watch, and you'll see now what's the results. I looked out like that. I said... And God Who's my Judge know that I never heard of Willie Upshaw in my life, and I said, "I see a haystack, and there's a little boy playing on it. He's dressed very odd. He fell off, and he struck his back. He's taken to a doctor that's got glasses down like this and a white mustache, but--but there's nothing can be done."
I said, "I see the little fellow's taken home. He's growing on, and he gets so bad till they bore a holes in the floor so the vibration of his walking on the floor he couldn't stand it." And I said, "Now, he becomes a writer or something, and he's doing some kind of a work. He--he becomes a great man. Now, he's even greater, and he's in a bed that they roll him around in--wheelchairs and things. He can stand up, but he's got crutches over his shoulders and down along his sides, and he has to walk in that manner." And it left me.

L-31 And just at the time, they'd just took him off of an airplane, or something, and had just brought it, he was rolling him in the door. I said, "There's the old man now." Eighty-six years old at that time, and so he heard that. Some of them run one of these little extension mikes back to him, and I told Howard, I said, "What prayer cards did you give out?" And he told me, and I said, "Well, call from a certain number," like I usually do, and line them up.
And just then Mr. Baxter come to me, the manager, and he said, "Brother Branham, you know who that was you talked to." And I said... "Seen that vision of?"
And I said, "No, sir."
He said, "It was Congressman Upshaw." Said, "He wants to speak to you through this mike."
And I said, "I don't know him."
And so his wife was kneeling, down and she was weeping and he was too. He said--he said, "My son, how did you know that I fell when I was a boy?"
I said, "Sir, I don't... Only thing I can say is just what I see in the vision."
And he said, "Well, that's just exactly what happened." He said, "I'm William Upshaw."

L-32 And he was a State Senator of Georgia and was a congressman seventeen years, and retired from the congressman of the United States. Been a total invalid for sixty-six years, an invalid in a wheelchair and crutches and bed and so forth.
"And he said, "I was a president (I believe it was) of the Southern Baptist Convention." Said, "Dr. Roy E. Davis that ordained you in the Baptist church said to me," said, "I have been prayed for hundreds of times, but he was the one that advised me to come over here to have you to intercede to God for me."
And he said, "I was--would've been president (and I believe in 1926 or something when he run) but said, "Because of my convictions, that I did not believe in selling, legalizing whiskey I stood against it," and said, "and if I had it to run over today, I'd still stand against it. The Democratic Party would've elected me if I'd only run," and said, "that I would've been against prohibition." And said, "I--I took my stand against whiskey, because my convictions as a Christian man," he said, "I'm against it."
I said, "God bless you, sir."

L-33 And he said, "My boy, will I ever be healed?"
And I said, "I cannot tell you, my brother." I said, "The only thing I know..." He was setting twice the distance of this building, like this, back in the congregation yet, and wheelchairs plastered in there everywhere; and I said, "I could not tell you, sir. I do not know. I can only say what I see."
And he said, "Well..." And his wife said, "Oh, if God will be merciful."
I said, "He is merciful. I said, "Not will He be; He is." And so I turned like this. I said, "Well, Howard bring..."
