<TITLE>13. Par 37-40</TITLE>L-37 That same day... A couple days after that here come the little girls... Brother Baxter come in and said, "Brother Branham," said, "the fats in the fire."
I said, "What's the matter?"
"Oh," they said, that--said, "They're going to expose you tonight as Simon the sorcerer."
I said, "Oh, is that so?"
Said, "Yeah," said, "Brother Branham, they got cards out all over the city," and said, "them two girls, you know, the ones that was healed?"
I said, "Yes."
Said, "They're downstairs, crying, packing up their clothes to go home." Said, "Oh, it's pathetic, Brother Branham."
I said, "What's the matter?"
He said, "Well," they said, "that they hated it because their testimony had stirred up such awful row down here." They were Methodists. And so, they said, "They'd stirred such a row, that they were going to... The FBI was going to get you tonight and expose you as Simon the sorcerer."
"Well," I said, "if that's right, I ought to be exposed." See? I said, "Sure."
He said, "Well, you better go down and talk to them." Said, "They're downstairs. Now..."

L-38 I said, "What room are they in?" He told me. And I went and knocked on the door. And they were crying, packing their clothes.
"Oh," said, "Brother Branham, we're so sorry."
I said, "What's you sorry about?" I said...
She said, "Oh, we caused so much trouble. We've got you in trouble."
I said, "You have? Over getting someone healed?" I said, "You ain't got me in trouble; you got the devil in trouble." I said, "That's... He's the one that's in trouble, not me."
And said, "Well, Brother Branham," she said, "we're so sorry." Said, "We set down by a woman today, and she said, 'Aren't you with the Branham party?'"
Said, "No, ma'am."
Said, "Oh, yes, you are."
Said, "No, I just got healed over there in a--in a hotel the other night."
Said, "Listen," said, "that man is a witch." Said, "We know it."
"Why," she said, "here, lady, my--my friend that come with me was going to the insane institution. And test her. She's perfectly normal."
Said, "Oh, yes, I know. I put a boy in my meeting--in his meeting one time that had TB. And he went up there and done his hocus-pocus over it." And said, "The baby got over the TB, but it was the devil."

L-39 And anybody don't know no more about that, to know the devil has not one power or nothing to heal. I challenge that. If the devil can heal, he's in--he's in cahoots with God. "I'm the Lord Who heals all thy diseases." The devil hasn't got...
That was the great contest between the--the Egyptians down there, when they brought up their soothsayers and so forth. They could perform things, but they couldn't heal. Every time the--the--the magicians would do something... Moses would do something, they'd pattern it. But they could bring it, but they couldn't take it away. So it shows that God is the only One Who can heal. Amen.

L-40 So she said, "We're sorry. We're going home." And said, "We're so sorry. We are..."
I said, "Now look, you know the girl's healed."
"Yes."
I said, "Isn't God wonderful in healing?"
Said, "Yes."
I said, "You ought to see Him in battle. Boy, He's wonderful."
Said, "You're not going over there?"
I said, "Well, you don't expect me to run, do you?" I said, "Sure, I'm going over there."
Said, "Brother Branham, the FBI is going to expose you."
I said, "Expose what? What they got to expose?" I said, "I'm trying my best to be exposed, trying my best to get the Gospel to everybody I can." I said, "I'd like to be helped along a little."
Said, "You mean you're going over?"
