<TITLE>10. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 Now, the way that I base, friends, on this as faith. I probably feel like that I might be an amateur in that, but where my faith is based is concerning a gift that was given me. It's by... Some people receive a revelation. Some people pick it up out of the Word. Some people takes it by inspiration. Mine is a--a vision. When I see those visions happen, there's nothing in the world that can change it. See? I have seen it so many...
Now, coming on my road down here when I first met Brother Bosworth... This that I wish to speak about for the next few minutes, happened in Florida. I was on... Fixing to come down to Florida to meet a little boy down here called "Little David," and he had a meeting out there. I'd met him in a place over in Oakland, California, and he had a little auditorium, and had about... He had about seven thousand, the--the auditorium seated, I believe. And he had about three thousand in it, and I had a auditorium that seated three thousand, had about seven thousand people. So he said, "Let's just swap auditoriums." And I wondered who "Little David" was. And there was a little bitty old boy standing around there about like that and I said... He kept talking to me, "Brother Branham."
And I said, "What's your name?"
He said, "My name's 'Little David.'" Why, I had my hand on his head, little bitty fellow.

L-30 Well, I thought it was... I've seen a lot of these old boys, you know, mama tell them about how Jesus born in a manager and so forth. So I thought that's what it was.
So after the meeting was over, one night I slipped over to hear this little boy. He held really late. They had a lot of preliminaries before the kid preached. Brother, that wasn't that kid. He throwed off his coat, and took a text, and handled it like a man. That boy was preacher.
Well, then the first thing you know, I begin to tell the brethren, I said, "Now, that's wonderful. Now, there's where you brothers, all you church daddies ought to get around that boy and..."
Well, one of them said, "Well now, he--he belongs to Jesus Name church, and he does this, and this, that."
And I said, "I don't care what he belongs to. God's got His hand on the boy. That's the main thing.

L-31 No matter what his brand is or about that. What does it make any difference what that is. As long as you argue and fuss over those kind of things, you're still carnal and never get nowhere with God." That's right. I said, "Forget that. Get around it. You'll have thousands and tens of thousands of little children."
But the next group they had to get them a Little David, and when I come down here in Florida, it was the worst I ever seen in my life. That had to put two pages in the--in the Miami paper down here to take care of the "Little Davids" that was in town. Every fellow was afraid that if their little group went over here, they'd lose some of them.
It put me in the mind of a meal ticket instead of trying to get somebody saved. That's exactly. I--I don't say that with any compliments. No, sir. With any... I--I mean I say that... Don't withdraw from any of that. It looked like they're afraid somebody's going to... Why, brother. What are we out to do? If I thought it would be a meal ticket, I'd get me a job and go to work somewhere. If I...

L-32 The thing of it is, is get people saved, help somebody. That's the Christian attitude. But every paper had it, and--and so... I remember on the road down the little boy had a tent setting out there somewhere way out on Flagler Street and it was a pathetic... Just a little handful of people setting there... Well, when they heard that I was coming down to begin the next day, brother, every church in the city had a Divine healer. I tell you they just had everything going... Just... Why, the very idea. Sinners see that and know better than that. They know there's something wrong, and there is something wrong.
