<TITLE>02. Par 7-19</TITLE>L-7 It certainly is a pathetic thing. One morning, I was setting at Zurich, Switzerland, and then, there was so many people. We had a hundred and twenty-six thousand people there at the meeting, so we--we couldn't get out of the place, hardly. And so everyone, you know, pathetic, and begging to be prayed for, and wanted to know what the Lord would have to say to them.
And the Lord said to me, "Get out and go down towards the seashore, or the lakeshore." Switzerland is such a beautiful country.
And I said, "Billy, you walk with me."
He said, "Now, dad, you're fixing to get all tangled up out there, and they'll have to get the police to get you out."
And I said, "Well, the Lord is telling me to go down towards the shore." So I went down and walked way up along, no one... The Germans, and Swiss, and Belgium, and France, and Italians, at the meeting. Nobody recognized me, at all. I was walking right on along there. And I have a way of kind of disguising myself, a little bit. And I doubt if my own brother would know me if he'd meet me. See? So... And he was...

L-11 I was walking right along, and we went up there and set down. And Billy said, "Why, you know they know me, dad."
I said, "Well," I said, "they might do it." But I said, "The Lord told me to come up."
Said, "But what does the Lord want you to do?" Impatience of a kid, you know.
I said, "He will take care of that." See?
So we started walking back, alongside of the shore. I seen an old fellow setting there, crying, reading, like that. I said, "There he is. That's him."
He said, "You ain't going to walk up and talk to that man?"
I said, "No, he's going to walk up and talk to me." I said, "He..." I said, "Now, he is from away away." And I said, "He's come here; it's emergency case. You watch and see if that man don't have something for me. And it's pertaining a woman's arm. See?" I said...
Said, "How do you know?"
I said, "A vision just struck, and that's the same man; that's him setting right there." And so I said, "Just look the other way now, and walk on by him."
We went walking on by. In a few moments, he said "Daddy, that man is following us."
I said, "I know it. And we're going to come around a bend; and we're going to cross a little bridge, and he's going to walk in front of you and overtake me right there at the bridge. See if he don't."
He said, "All right."

L-19 So, we went on. And there he stopped, walked in front of me and overtook me right at a little bridge. He said, "Bruder Branham." And he pulled out of his little... had a little satchel, like a lady packs, pulled out of there a little handbag of a thing, his passport. And he was from Russia. And he had a handkerchief in there that he wanted me to pray over, and tear it in six strips for a woman with her real bad arm, that had been hurt and wouldn't get well, and shrinking up. And she was the mother of five children, six strips, you see, just perfect.
And I looked at his passport. He was from Russia, up in behind the iron curtain. And to think that how the Lord Jesus, seeing that poor Russian... I asked him how many was down there. He said, "There is several hundred of us had got through the line and come down to your meeting."
I said, "How did you know I was down here?"
He said, "Well, we heard it through the Swiss radio."
And I said, "Did you ever hear of my services up there?"
He said, "When the little boy was raised in Finland, that went plumb through Russia." All the way through Russia; that little boy raised from the dead. So it just goes to show, God's got His children everywhere, hasn't He?
