<TITLE>07. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 Along towards daylight that morning, prayed all night... And about daylight, the next morning, I noticed, and I just pass them. You didn't have to tell them nothing no more, just--just put your hands on them, that's all they wanted you to do. So the next morning when they, it was getting along towards daylight, Brother Brown came up and said, "Brother Branham, you're about to faint now," said, "I've got to take you out."
I said, "Well, try to get the most of them through." I said, "What," I said to the interpreter, "what's worrying you? What's them people so wet for?" Their wet plumb up around the waist here.
Said, "Well, at first they thought it was false," but said, "now," said, "they--they're going out into the deserts and bringing their loved ones in," and said, "they're not going twenty miles down here to the ford they're just wading right across the Gila Bend River, right there coming across that way, wading the water."

L-20 And there was a--a next patient was an old man, and they had him on a board, not a stretcher like they bring patients here; it was a board, it had two limbs across it. And they had an old man laying there, gray, his legs across one limb, his arms across the other one like that, and he was shaking like that. And here stood a big fellow packing him like that. He was next in line, so he was standing packing him; he was shivering like that, and lips was real blue. And I said, "You speak English?"
He said, "Leetle."
And I said, "Aren't you afraid you'll take pneumonia, wet like that?"
Said, "Jesus Christ will take of me; I brought my daddy."
I said, "Well, that's very sweet." I said, "That your daddy?"
"Yep."
And I said, "Do you believe if I ask Jesus to heal him..."
"Yep."
I said, "Well, come on by." The other fellow behind him passed by. No, I believe it was a woman packing, maybe his sister behind him, man and a woman. So when he got by, I said, "You understand English, chief?" He didn't even make a move.

L-21 And I laid my hands on him. And I said, "Dear God, you know what this poor old man's went through in life, and I ask now that you'll make him well." I said, "May he get over this, recover, and be a normal, well man to give You praise, and he will always remember that You did it." I said, "Now, take him on, have faith."
And I called for the next one. Directly, I heard a big noise down below me, here the old man had the board on his own shoulders, going out waving to everybody like that...?... waving, you know, just simple faith.
When they heard I was a hunter, they--they want... They got a reservation. Every one wanted to saddle his pony and take me turkey hunting right then. So I'm going back now. I told them I'd be back. And to keep my promise, I go back. That'll be a week from this coming Monday. Be praying for me, and God--that God will help us there win thousands to Him.

L-22 Now, it's just about time to start the prayer line. And I'm... want to... Maybe I could find five minute's time. I was looking in the Scripture here a few moments ago, and I found a Scripture that I wanted to read, to speak on just a moment 'fore I read the other Scripture; that's Saint Luke the 5th chapter. Just listen closely for a few moments.
And it came to pass, as the people pressed upon him to hear the word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret,
And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen was gone out... and were washing their nets.
And he entered into one which was Simon's, and he prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people out of the ship.
Now when he... left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down... for the draught.
And Simon answered and said unto him, Master, we've toiled all night, and... taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word we will let down the net.
