<TITLE>04. Par 11-13</TITLE>L-11 Some time ago, in California, a fine Armenian friend said, "Brother Branham, do you ride in that old Chevrolet truck?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "We just give Abaick a new blue Cadillac." Said, "I've got one setting out there and a custom built Packard that's only got about three hundred miles on it. Take your choice."
I said, "That's nice. But wouldn't it look nice for me coming down through Arkansas, somewhere, riding in a Cadillac car and a poor little woman out there pulling a big sack behind her of cotton; eating bacon and corn pone for breakfast, making about two dollars a day? Say, 'Oh, there goes Brother Branham.'" Not me. Don't want that. No, sir. "Naked came I into this world, naked I shall return," but what's on the inside of me, I expect it take me beyond the stars and the moons, to where the One that I love, lives, waits for me. And I'm doing all that I can to serve Him until He calls me. Shall we pray.

L-12 Heavenly Father, looking down upon these words here, that's been inspired by the writer, I pray that You'll open the Word tonight, and may It go so deep in the heart. My heart's stirred, looking here and seeing this poor man leaning against his wife and her setting there crying. Little babies stretched out on a cot here. O God, if there's just anything I could do, will You help me. Any way that I could represent You in any manner, help me, dear God.
Many setting here, perhaps, with cancer and heart trouble, may not live till morning if You don't give them some faith or they get some faith to receive their healing. O God, I pray tonight that something will happen, unusual. May You manifest Yourself tonight like You did to those at Emmaus. Do something a little different so that everybody here will recognize that it's You, Father. Grant it. We thank You for the Words that You've give us this week. For everything that You've done for us, we thank You. And now, open the Word, Lord, to our hearts. And may we say, when we leave, like those from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He spake to us." For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-13 In Saint Mark the 10th chapter, beginning with the 46th verse, we read this:
And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with disciples... a great multitude of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, set by the highway side begging.
And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he begin to cry out, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
And Jesus stood still, (Oh, I love that. His faith stopped Jesus in His track.)
And ...Jesus... commanded him to be called. And they called the blind man, saying unto him, Be of a good comfort, arise; he calleth thee.
And he, cast away his garment, and rose, and came to Jesus.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, What will thou that I... do unto thee? And the blind man said unto him, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way; thy faith has made thee whole. And immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
