<TITLE>02. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 And I'm going to say this, and I... If I'm wrong, God forgive me. For I'm saying it with all my heart. America, nation, nationally speaking isn't ready for a revival. They may have done passed that day. See?
I was just noticing Brother Joseph this morning trying to talk to me, say, "Well, Brother Branham, when you come back we'll..." See? He may have said it. I don't say this because this little Swedish brother of mine setting on the platform. No, sir. But I love him. Many of you know what I've been through to hold our fellowship, not because of he and I, but the outside world. But Joseph Boze is my buddy, my brother in Christ. He's got to do something worse than what he's ever done to change my opinion about him. I love him. And so I--I appreciate him. And by him...
He just comes down and sets down at the house, and drive all the way down there, or fly on a plane, or something another. And I... "Brother Branham..." The little kiddies would get in the room, get listening at him talk that broken English, you know. And we... "We need you in Chicago. The people up there love you. Now, when are you going to come and get us another meeting?" You see? He just stays right with it. And you--you can't turn him down. You just can't...

L-5 You might just say, "All right, Brother Joseph. Go ahead. I--I'll be there." Because he just--he just stays right with it till you have to come almost. And so... But I--I really like him.
And we were setting this morning, talking. I said, "Brother Joseph..."
He said, "But, Brother Branham, realize..." Said, "Just think. Last night twenty souls being saved at least," said, "that's not through evangelistic now." Said, "Anything would be more than that. Twenty people come to Christ."
I said... Why, he said, "Brother Branham, if people has a revival and one comes in a nighttime, look how they brag about it, and here twenty deep convicted conversions come boohooing and crying (See?) after they seen the working of the Lord."
I said, "Yes, Brother Joseph, God knows how I appreciate that. But see, right here where they been at one night to services, and just swap that service right around and lay it down in South Africa, lay it over in India, lay it down in islands, or down in South America, you know how many souls would've come? Around five thousand, maybe twenty thousand, thirty thousand." See? It's the same thing, just the same thing.

L-6 Well, many of those places has never heard of Christ. A lot of these brethren that go in with these campaigns, they go to people who have some kind of conception of Christ, like maybe Catholics, or Lutherans, or so forth, and they teach. But mine, I preach out where they never hear of Christ. See? They got to have some kind of conception of God. Well, the phenomenal... See?
The gift don't make any difference whether they never heard of Christ, whether they know nothing about the Bible. It knows just the same (You see?), 'cause it's God and that just... It makes the people... The--the phenomenal side, they say, "My, my, what's he talking about? How'd he know who I was, and what I... what's wrong with me, and where I come from, and who--who's my people and all these things? Well, where'd that come from?" You see? Then they see.
