<TITLE>13. Par 51-54</TITLE>L-51 I walked home. God had turned His back on me, couldn't answer prayer. And I walked the floor. Wife, two children, about a hundred dollars in the bank. There they was, right in the prime of my ministry, disobeyed God; there you was: ten hours and be dead. Walking up and down the floor... You don't know what a... Way of a transgressor's hard. I don't care what anybody tell you: When God tells you do something, you go do it, right quick. You pay no attention to what anybody tells you, whether he's a saint, or prophet, or whoever he is, you listen to what God says.
And I walked up and down the floor. I'm fixing to close just a minute for the prayer line; my time's up. And I walked up and down the floor one night, oh, how sick. My wife's in the next room, and I walk back, and I thought... Laid down, I thought, "Well, this is the end of it, I suppose. That was a wonderful meeting to remember, thirty thousand converts in one afternoon, very fine. I guess this, my future is finished, ten hours now." Of course every five minutes I had a fever, you know, so I--I was thinking that anyhow.

L-52 And I was laying there, and as I did, the first time for months, that'd been eight or ten months later, I felt Him in the room. Oh, brother, sister, what a feeling. I knew He was there. I raised up; I said, "Lord, are You near me? Have You come back to forgive me?" I said, "I promise, Lord, I--I'll never listen to another preacher or anything if You'll just, if You'll forgive me, Lord. Don't let me die; I--I'm Your servant; I--I want to serve You."
And I listened, nothing happened. But I knew He was still in the room. And I raised up on the side of the bed where I'd been lying down. It's about two o'clock in the morning. Nothing happened. I went over to set down in a chair. Just then I looked, come walking right down here, here come a Man walking to me, had a bunch of white paper, like that, like typewriter paper. He walked up to me; He said, "Insomuch as thou was thinking of your future..."
I said, "Yes."
He said, "Look down towards the ground." It was some of it wrote on, scribbled on. Then He took it right like this, and He threw it. And it just went sheet after sheet after sheet, until it went plumb into the heaven. And it was a all clear. He said, "Insomuch that you seen that that was clear, so is your future clear."

L-53 I said, "Thank God." And I--I raised up, and I thought, "Oh, how wonderful, Lord, You forgive me then, and I will live." And I thought, "Oh, You're wonderful, Jesus. I just love You so much, I love You."
And about that time I heard Something come and going [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] It never happens over once at a time. But here It was again. I looked then, and It had come on me again. I said, "Will I ever get over this ameba? Will I have it any longer?"
He said, "Not at all; it's over."
And I come to again; I said, "Oh, it's--it's gone then now." And just then I thought, "Oh, when I was talking to Him, why didn't I ask Him how to conduct my meetings?"

L-54 I've got it laying right here before me; it's all writed out. You can see. So I said, "Why, didn't I ask about my meetings?" I said. And then He come again, I said, "How should I conduct my meetings?"
He said, "Just as you're led."
So then again, He come again and had set me down in Africa and I seen that meeting. It was all windling out this way, like history. And this One was standing by me, the big Man with dark hair, white robe, He turned me to the east. He said, "Look this a way."
