<TITLE>02. Par 5-7</TITLE>L-5 And you know, that hurts me awfully bad. I don't want you all think hard of me for those things. A friend last night--that's what he was riding me over the coals about; said, "You don't keep your promises." Well, it's a hard thing. And I--I--there's much of it is my fault, I--I suppose. And--but there's--of that... There's some of it, it isn't my fault. (Thank you) There's some of that isn't my fault, because I've seen it--times where it would be advertised at three or four different places.
Let me give you just a little inside, for a moment, will you do that? How would you like to be standing in your own home, here's someone in this room, saying, "The Lord has told me, Brother Branham, that you're supposed to come to this place, at our place, or He will cut your ministry off. That's THUS SAITH THE LORD."
Another one in this room, saying, "No, she's wrong. You're supposed to be over here for THUS SAITH THE LORD."
And another one back in this room, saying, "No, they're both wrong." See? And how would you like to put up with that awhile? You don't want to be rude. You don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. But I--I tell you, it's a good thing you had a lot of patience, sometime.

L-6 And then, some peoples write in, say, "Now, Brother Branham, we've already got the advertisement out. The Lord said that you was going to be here."
Well, if He did, looked like He'd of said something to me about it, you know. So He--He--He--I believe when He want... But that's the way it makes it... What I really need, is a paper of my own, somewhere, that would--that would really advertise the meetings. But friends, I--I'm not a businessman. How could I operate a paper? I haven't got hardly intelligence to drive a car, let alone operate a paper, so... I had one started one time, and give it up, "The Voice of Healing." So I just--wherever it comes out...

L-7 But you bear with me, I'm trying to do the best I can, anyhow. So if you--if any meetings or anything though, it'll be officially announced, it would be in this, "Herald of Faith," here, Brother Joseph, 'cause he always calls Mr. Moore. I don't make any arrangements for meetings. I work on it just general orders. And it's so hard anyhow, for me to--to have set meetings.
I'm trying now, my best, if God will help me, to--to kindy move off into another type of ministry, if I can, while--especially in America. And these signs and wonders that's been done, and the phenomenal, which is--is--we've talked of. Now, for eight or ten years it's swept across the nation, and everyone knows about it. I'm asking our Lord, if He will just let me just pray for His sick children, and settle it at that. Then I can make arrangements.
