<TITLE>15. Par 60-64</TITLE>L-60 And I looked, and I saw a vision of him falling like that, turning over and over, like it was a couple nights before that, when I seen him in the vision. And I seen two big arms come out and catch him, like this, and start bearing him right back up, going right back up, like that. I raised up, and Billy turned around, just as black as he could be. And his lips swelled way out, and his eyes turned real red, and turned back.
He said, "Daddy, where are you. Where are you, daddy?"
I said, "I'm standing right here, honey. It's all over now." Amen.

L-61 Let me tell you, if it hadn't been for God, a dose of medicine would've killed my boy. Nothing nigh it, penicillin's helped a many on sulfa drug and thing, on the battle front for the boys and things like that, but you have to watch, it's killed hundreds. That's right.
But if it'll kill one, what I'm trying to get at, is--this is my point, if it'll kill one person, it's fanaticism. If praying for the sick, and that person dies, then you have to call it fanaticism, then this has to be fanaticism, too. Is that right?
It's neither fanaticism; it's just the people who can't reason things out, the people that's unreasonable. And our dear American people is most unreasonable people on them things, I ever seen in all nations in the world. That's right. Very unreasonable, they won't want to listen. They won't set down and think it out.

L-62 I don't mean you Full Gospel people, who believe in these things; it's the churches. My brethren, I have nothing against my Baptist church, that I come from. The Presbyterian, Lutheran, whatever they may be, they're my brothers. But so unreasonable, is because that--that denominations has brought up barriers. And creeds and so forth has cut them off.
Some of them men believe. Don't tell me; they come right to my parsonage and talk to me, put my arm around me and say--put their arm around me and say, "Brother Branham, I'd like to believe it, but by--be excommunicated if I did."
I said, "God bless your heart, you be excommunicated here, and you'll be brought in up there." I said, "Don't--you just leave the thing go."

L-63 I'd rather--it's a meal ticket, brother. I'd rather lay on my stomach, and drink branch water, and eat soda crackers, and preach the truth, than to have fried chicken three times a day, and have to compromise. That's right. Yes, sir. To have the truth...
Be reasonable. We can prove tonight, and across the nation, thousands times thousands of people that had've been their grave tonight, if it hadn't been for Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Let us reason together. Be reasonable. God does things reasonable, and let's us be reasonable.

L-64 Now, just another comment or two and we will--we will stop. Now, how does doctors find out about their medicine? The first thing you know, somebody solves around and gets it, they figure it out, find out that it'll work, and they write it in a book. Another doctor picks up this medical journal; he said, "Well, here, this does so-and-so; I will start practicing."
That's how they do: they find it out by reading or hearing. So to us, faith cometh by reading or hearing. What I'm doing tonight--and you're think these visions and things are so mysterious, I read it out of a Book. Hallelujah. And this Book is none other than the Bible, and the Author of It is not an inventor; He's none other than the Creator Himself (Amen), Who promised Divine healing. He wrote the Book; He inspired it. And it's God's inspired Word.
