<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 I went to a certain church one time in France, Brother Moore and I. And we was going up, and the guide was telling us all about, oh, this church, and had the picture of the Huguenots there; them are our brothers. They had the Holy Ghost, done signs and miracles. Where they massacred them in the streets... And then we started up a hill. Went way up the hill and we got pretty close to a church, shhh, oh, it'd be a mortal sin to talk loud, way up on top the hill. And they went to give the story about it.
Some man, a few hundred years ago, supposed to be a saint, got in a fight down there somehow and got his head cut off. So he just decided that he didn't want to die there, so he just picks up his head, and puts it under his arm, and walks five miles up the hill nearly, and died up there so they could build a church up there. And you expect common civilized people to believe such tommyrot as that. Humph. I said right out loud; it's wonder they didn't throw me out. I said, "That's only by faith, isn't it?" I want to tell you right now, my faith's too weak for that. I don't believe that, no, sir, oh, no. See?

L-10 I just believe the Bible, and that settles it. What the Bible says is the truth, and that--that's just all there is to it. This is what I live by. I want to die by it. And the rest of them that died by it went to heaven by it, so that's where I want to go. And--and so, we just stay right with this old story. He's wonderful, isn't He?
And now tonight, just going to speak just for a little bit, just carry on our story that we've been into of the exodus of the children of Israel. And then we're going, quickly then to bring the people that has prayer cards to the platform and pray for each one of them. And I believe that God will heal.

L-11 How many in here loves me, let's see your hands. I want to test something. Thank you. I--I--I love you too (See?), all my heart. I want to ask you something. I've always shunned the very thought of anything belonging to human beings, or anything about a human being that would be anything Divinely or... And I've shun that, because you have to watch. You see? Just the least little thing, then it's--they get something started and it goes off into a ism. I've tried to keep that as clear and clean and as--as I possible could in the humble ministry the Lord has given me.
But I wonder, here's what's been spurning my faith on and on. I remember here at Zion City and many other places... I've watched not only the--the people coming to be prayed for, but I've watched closely what the Angel of the Lord said to me. See? And when I was--first He spoke to me, really I would've never noticed; I never studied anything on Divine healing or anything in the Bible. But He said, "You were born to pray for sick people. Take a gift of divine healing."
Brother Baxter called my attention one time, he said, "Brother Branham, carry that message reverently; do just what He told you to do." Then He told me... I told Him that they wouldn't believe me, then He told me these other things.
