<TITLE>04. Par 13-15</TITLE>L-13 Now, I don't know how much you believe this. I can only tell what's true. But I felt Someone put their hand on my shoulder. I thought it was Brother Lindsay. And I turned to look at him; there's nobody around me, and the hand was still on my shoulder. I turned again; I thought, "What is that?" Felt like Someone's hand. So I started to walk, and it felt like this: pulled back. So I thought, "What is this?" See how--see how stupid a--a man can be? See? We don't understand spiritual things.
And I looked down at the little boy; I said through my interpreter, "Have them to raise that again. So they lifted the coat. I looked at that face. I thought, "I seen that boy somewhere. Been a long time." And through the interpreter, I said, "Has this little boy been in the prayer line?" No one knew. I said, "Seems like I've seen him." And I started to walk away, that hand again. And I stopped again, and I looked again. Happened to look up like this; there was the green field; there was the rocks lapped together; there was the trees. I said, "Let me look at him again." There he was; his little shag haircut, little brown eye turned back, little foot through in the sock, perfect to the picture. Oh, you don't know how you feel then. All devils out of hell couldn't stop it. Can't stop it then, God had spoken. Oh, what a feeling: you know what's going to happen.

L-14 I turned around to Brother Lindsay and Brother Moore. I said, "Open up your Bibles."
Said, "What's the matter, Brother Branham?"
I said, "Turn to the flyleaf."
Said, "What about it?"
I said, "Read."
They said--begin to read out the description of the little boy.
I said, "Looky there. Look at these trees." I said, "That's the boy that I saw two years ago." I said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, if this little boy isn't on his feet alive in five minutes, then I'm a false prophet." Oh, my. I said, "Stand still." And I told the audience. They didn't believe it. I could sense--was touching one another. And so they made... The interpreter was telling me what there were saying. Said, "Now we know he's a fanatic." But that didn't stop it. I turned around, just the way the Lord told me; I said, "Heavenly Father, You Who cannot lie, in the homeland two years ago You showed me this boy. And You showed me he was to come to life." I said, "O God, now hear the prayer of your servant. And death, you can't hold him any longer. Give him back his life, for THUS SAITH THE LORD, he shall live again." And the boy screamed, jumped on his feet, not even a bit sick or nothing, just as perfect as he could be.

L-15 That went plumb down through Russia. (Went all through Russia.) We was just a few miles from the border then, and that night when I was going in, there was Russian soldiers standing at the salute. Four soldiers had to--four Finnish soldiers had to take me about six blocks to get to the down through the city, had to get to the Messuhalli where we had the meeting. They were standing saluting, tears running down their face. My interpreter said they was saying this: "We will receive a God like that. We'll believe things like that."
What's the matter with Christianity is the weakness of the pulpit. Preachers aren't ready to take God at His Word. Amen. True.
