<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 Now, this afternoon, before... We can lay these lids down on the Bible like that, of course; but to open it, no man is worthy. The Bible said. I believe, John searched the heavens and there was no one worthy to take the Book; open It; loose the seals of It; or anything. But there was a Lamb, from the--had been slain from the foundation of the earth; He was the One that was able to take the Book out of the right hand of Him that set upon the throne and to open It to the people.
And now, while this little group of people's gathered here, just a--oh, couple hours before, maybe, the healing service starts. And I thought to cap off the radio here, the broadcast, I'd come down and speak for you a little bit. Enjoyed these songs. I'll hurry right back; stay in prayer; and come back after while, pray for the sick. You pray for me. It's...
I tell you, Brother Joseph was talking about phone calls. Huh-uh. Well, no wonder my wife is gray-headed at thirty-four. See? She not only stand the phone calls that comes to the house, but she has to meet the public standing there. See? And so it certainly is a job. And now, it is. You have to keep dead to yourself.

L-9 The other day, my boy... Yeah, he's in him here somewhere. He's just a kid: eighteen years old. And so, we was setting in a place somewhere and they--some of the young folks (You know?), over at Wood River, and they playing one of these little old machine boxes (You know.) that plays this little old music they have out there. Well, I never even notice the stuff when it's playing. So somebody was playing it, and I noticed his eyes brightened up. And he was watching the kids (You know.), what they were doing. 'Course he's just a kid; they do that. And he said, "Ain't that pretty, daddy?
I said, "What?"
He said, "What's wrong."
I said, "Oh, I--I wasn't noticing."
And so he said, "Dad, you know what?" He said, "You've just become dead to everything but Jesus Christ."
And I said, "That's right. That's right," ...?... just become dead to everything. I said, "Nothing has a sound but Christ Jesus, and let me stay that way. I only want to know Him." That's all. To know Him is Life. Is that right? See?
And now, may the Lord bless you. And I'll try my best tonight to do everything that I can to talk to our Lord Jesus, to heal all the sickness that's in your midst.

L-10 Here's something stayed on my heart for twenty-four hours. I don't know whether it's the Lord or not. It's never come to a vision. That's what I watch, is the visions; then I got THUS SAITH THE LORD. But this has been impressed on my heart. I spoke with Billy today at the hotel about it. Our meetings are too short. We just come in and our meetings from, say, five nights. That's still too short. I like to come to a city this size and stay a month or two (See?), and just go to a place here. 'Cause most of the time, just about time for me to say, this will take place and that will take place, that you're gone.
Mr. Brewer called me from the Peace River--or not Peace River but Wood River, and he said, "Brother Branham, we have taken you on tape recording." And said, "And everything that you've said while under inspiration, the different things that was going to take place," said, "everything is absolutely fulfilled to the dot." See? Well, it's God. He said, "Just come back, just one night, just one night." Said, "Could you come tomorrow?" That was tonight.
I Said, "No, I'm in Chicago." And then...
