L-1 Thank you, Brother...?... Good evening, friends. It's a privilege to be here in Binghamton tonight representing our Lord Jesus Christ, and His love to all mankind. It's a--an odd thing of me being here. I was fixing to go somewhere else, and just in a spur of a moment, something happened that I come to Binghamton. And I don't understand it yet.
We just come back from overseas, from India, son and I. Then I'd had a little meeting down at Owensboro, Kentucky, with the Assemblies of God. And we was down there a few nights, come from there and was many places, as you know how it is the... So many of God's children are sick and needy. And I'd kinda purposed in my heart to just preach the Gospel awhile and let the healing go for a little bit; not saying I'd let it go, but make, relax, and so I can talk to people... Usually under that terrific anointing of the Holy Spirit... There's many of you has probably all been in the meetings, I--I'm... kinda has an awful effect upon me, weakening me and so forth. And I've never had the chance just to shake hands with ministers, and get acquainted, and so forth. I just going to take a little time around just kinda getting acquainted with everyone. We might as well get acquainted here; we have to know each other up there a long time. Don't we? So we just might as well get used to each other here.

L-2 And usually in that type of meeting is, they keep me fastened in a room. You know how it is. And come and knock at the door, and you're by yourself all day long, and all night long, and into the meeting... And 'course, everybody you meet, you start talking to them; there starts the vision. You see? So then it's just tears you up for the meeting that's coming in the evening.
So we've taken this time just to go around, visit our brethren, many of them calling from different parts of the nation.
And Mr. Boze in Chicago... They have the Chicago Gospel Tabernacle, and then they had the inside sports arena there for the--for the service. And Mr. Boze had just come down. I was just about ready to go over and tell him, all right. And he was at the airport. And I put on my coat, and started to walk out the door, and when I did the phone rang at the house. And--and so we got four phones we can answer on, so I just stepped back and picked up the phone, and it was Mr. Gardner of the city here, one of the Christian Business Men. And so I knew him well, and he said, "Come up and have a meeting for us, Brother Branham."

L-3 And I said, "Well, Brother Gardner, I..." you know, I said, "I'm just going over to the airport to meet Mr. Boze for a meeting in Chicago or something." I said, "I don't know what they'd do. I've kinda been moody for the last few days not knowing which way to turn."
And he said, "Well, our church has been fasting and praying." And Something said to me, "You'd better go up there." So here I am. So I--I'm just kinda on your hands now. I don't know just what to do. And I come up to minister, to speak of the Word of the Lord.
Our Brother Smith here, I've met him, your pastor, a lovely brother. I don't say that because I'm standing in his pulpit, but he is. And then the brother from New York, who was our singer, I've met him before. And meeting many of the different Christian Business Men today, and it's been a great time since I've been in Binghamton the last two days.
And I've always been a little partial of New York. I like New York. It's one of my favorite states in the union. And I'm--I'm thought someday I would like to live up here at one of these lakes.
