<TITLE>15. Par 64-68</TITLE>L-64 And I said, "Well, dad, the only thing I know to do is, let's you and I just offer a prayer." And I felt her head. And I don't hardly think the woman was dead, because... Now, she might've been. I couldn't say. But she was... They'd taken her false teeth out and her lips was sunk way back. And it was like muddy water out of her eyes, and they were set. And her perspiration was real sticky. No pulse at all. No pulse at all. I felt her arm.
And I just knelt down, was holding her hand. And we started praying. And he was just crying and praying. "O God, if I can only see her, talk to her once more," like that.
And I was praying. I said, "Father, I pray Thee to be merciful to this dear brother. And to help him and to bless him. And to this dear woman, that come all this way." I felt her squeeze my hand.

L-65 The devil said to me, said, "You see that's muscles. She's dead. It's just her muscle twitching." And I agreed with him. So, I went on praying just a few minutes. And it twitched again. And I thought, "Well, that's strange." I looked down; I seen the skin on her forehead wrinkling. Ha, the devil was wrong there. So she looked at me. And she raised up. I never said a word, just kept--quit praying. He was just a crying and wringing his hands and his hat, like that, looking up in the air. And--and she raised up.
She said, "What's your name?"
I said, "I'm Brother Branham."

L-66 When they looked he said... "Mother." And the poor old fellow grabbed her in his arms like that and begin to screaming and crying. She followed the meetings for months and months; I heard from her. Well, it's been eight nine years ago. And I heard from her here about two three months ago, just before I went overseas, just fine and dandy. Nothing wrong with her at all, she's just perfectly normal and well as she could be.
So--so the driver said, "Brother Branham," said, "them men that brought you, they've gone back to the parking lot," said, "or back in the back." Said, "Now, you can't get through there, 'cause thousands is crowded up in here knowing you're in the car." Said, "You go back down around this road, and they're going to meet back there at the building." Said, "Nobody knows you back there. Go on back that way."
And I said, "Yes, sir."

L-67 And he act like he was taking off his coat like this. That looked like a hypocrite to do that, but it was the only thing I could do. And I got out of the car, went down along the side. It was raining right along. I started pushing through those people back there, you know, from right to left, trying to go through. And I wondered, "Where's them fellows at?"
There was great big lights back there. And the people were all standing, some of them been in there for days. And I was pressing through like this. And everybody kept tell me say, "Quit pushing. Stop pushing."
I said, "Pardon me."

L-68 I kept pushing on. Directly a great big fellow standing there whittling. He said, "I said quit pushing." I was afraid he was going to push next.
So I said, "Yes, sir. Excuse me, sir." I said, "I didn't mean to do it."
He said, "Well, stand still."
I said, "Thank you, sir."
I watched him, you know, a little while. He kept on whittling, talking there, you know, and kind of rough like fellow. And I looked at him.
And I heard a cry. I'll never forget it as long as I live.
