<TITLE>23. Par 71-74</TITLE>L-71 I walked over there, laid my hands on his black feet. I said, "Heavenly Father, You in Your sovereign grace, I don't know why I'm here." I said, "My plane's been gone for two hours." I said, "Why did You bring me down here in this place and I don't know what to do? Looks like that this is where You've sent me. But You led me here; I didn't know no more than to come. And to think that You would bring me down here to this place, what would You have me to do, dear God? I pray for mercy. Whatever it is You want me to, I don't know, Lord. What is it You wish?"
I heard him going... [Brother Branham illustrates.--Ed.] Said, "Mammy."
She said, "What's mammy's baby want?"
Said, "Oh, mammy," said, "it's getting light in this room." And in five minutes from then, he was setting on the side of the bed with his arm around his mammy, the other arm around me, praising God.

L-72 About two years later, I pulled in there on a train; I got off to get me a sandwich there. I was going on to California. And I got off a train there, and started running down, along the place there to go to... I heard somebody holler, "Hello, Parson Branham."
I looked around; it was a red cap, standing there, big smile on his face. I said, "How do you do, sir."
Said, "Don't you know me?"
And I said, "No, I don't."
He said, "You remember one morning, the Holy Spirit led you down to my mammy's house where I was dying?"
I said, "Are you that boy?"
Said, "Yes." He said, "I's not only healed," but said, "I's saved now, Parson Branham." Hallelujah. Praise God.
You're a kind heavenly Father that would grant... And listen, when I got back to the hotel, I called them to tell them that I'd be late, and I was just exactly on time. God kept that plane on the ground, and I caught it anyhow and went home.

L-73 I tell you, amazing grace how sweet the sound, that would save a wretch like me. Once was lost, but now I'm found. I was blind but now I see. Hallelujah.
To think of the sovereign grace of God that would ground that airplane up there, in the air, ground that plane for the sake of an ignorant colored woman. Hallelujah. Oh, my Lord.
He's interested in anything that we do for His glory. He's God. He loves us. His amazing grace, His sweet... Oh, how sweet the sound, that saved a poor wretch like me. Yes.
Oh, Christians, oh, it makes my heart jump for joy. My, mind, how those experiences, sweep through my mind. Sure, I'm expecting Him. I believe that He's going to do the exceedingly abundantly. I know that He's here tonight beyond any shadow of doubt, the same Holy Spirit that led there, that same Angel of God... I don't have to wait on Him; He's right here now. He's right here anointing me right now. The whole crowd is becoming milky looking, over there. That same Angel of the Lord, He's here. His love and grace is the same tonight. His attitude towards any person in here is the same as it was towards that poor ignorant colored woman. Yes, sir. Many, many thousands of the others that I could quote...

L-74 What will it be when I cross over the tide yonder, some of these days, and strike the other side, and see those dear people face-to-face, when I can set with them through ceaseless ages, talking of the love of God. No wonder His children will crown Him King of king and Lord of lord. He's raised from the dead. He's a living Christ tonight. He's right here in this building now. His power is predominate. His power can do anything, that you'll let it do. Every one of you here, we're sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You believe it? We are.
The only thing I'm asking you to do, is be expecting that you're going to get healed, believing you're going to get... Do you believe it? Are you expecting to go out of here tonight well? Certainly.
