<TITLE>08. Par 65-72</TITLE>L-65 And I said, "Now, heavenly Father, You know that I'm just like these other men here. I'd be in their shape, and worse, if it wasn't for Your grace. See? You saved me. And I--I... This is all ordained of You, not for myself. And now, You know that I never say that I can do one thing. It's You, Lord. But right here, while the religions and superstitions of this world... As it was in the days of Elijah the prophet, as it was in the days of Jesus Your Son, so is it now again."
I said, "That it might be known, Lord God, once more, that You're the only true and Living God, and the One Who made the mankind, and can make the dumb to speak, or the deaf to hear." I said, "I ask You, in the Name of Your Son, according to His Word; said, 'ask You anything,' as a Christian believer, 'ask anything in His Name, to the Father, it would be given.'" I said, "Now I believe His Word, and I ask for the dumb and deaf spirit to leave the child," like that.

L-67 And I clapped my hands like that. [Brother Branham clapped his hands together one time--Ed.] He turned and looked around. He was holding his ears up like that. And there he was, could speak or hear as good as anybody in the audience, like that.
Well, that started it. The next, then you couldn't... They had to take you out. There's no way. And they just... They pulled my shoes off nearly, my clothes off. The armies couldn't hold them back. The militia, the guards, couldn't hold them back. They'd run, right, break that line of guards, like that. They'd worship you (You see?), if they--if they could. They don't understand. It don't matter how much you try to get to them, they don't.

L-69 The next was a man, on the next evening, was a man had been blind, oh, about twenty or thirty years, a sun-worshipper, watching the sun until his eyes had gone out, and like that, looking right in the sun, till he was totally blind. Hadn't seen for twenty or thirty years. He happened to be the next, wind his way through, to get up there, on the next night.
I said, "Now, which one is last night?" After I got through, you couldn't hardly hear. You see? They was just everywhere, every religion and thing. I said, "How many of you now want to accept the Lord Jesus Christ?" You see? And everything that could be seen, accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as personal Saviour, everywhere. And--and, of course, you couldn't... Where I could see, as I couldn't see very much.
We couldn't have an open-air, the rains a pouring, and things like that. And just people there and you couldn't get to them. And, oh, it was the most pathetic sight you ever seen. And--and them still coming over the roads and things, pulling an old goat along, you know, or something another like that, trying to get to the meetings.

L-72 And then the night when the blind man, I said, "Now, which one of your gods can give him his sight?" I said, "Here's one of your own worshippers, though superstition, has put his eyes out, looking at the sun." I said, "He worships the sun, because he know it's some created being that's created, been created, some creature that's been created, something."
But I said, "The very Creator that created the sun, created the eyes in this man (See?), the same One." And I said, "Now, if He will, God will give him his sight... Before I ask you any more, how many of you will accept the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the crucified?"
