<TITLE>12. Par 49-53</TITLE>L-49 I can see him go in the room, his little rooms, the doors made just perfect and everything where the little bedroom was going to be, and all about it, and all fixed up. And then when he went in the room, and he just couldn't go home that night for supper. He just waited and he prayed. He said, "God, I just can't stand it. I love the girl and how does this come? I've been a true servant of Yours?"
And behold, the Angel of the Lord come into that room that night (He will do it.), saying, "Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost." Yes, sir. Oh, my. Joseph was happy about it. My, he seen what was... This greater, oh, "All things work together for good to them that love God," you know.

L-50 So up in country she goes, and she's going to see Elisabeth. And when Elisabeth knows that she's--sees her coming. She sees her little face just as--just as rosy and her little cheeks red. And it wasn't cosmetics from Max Factors either, it was really Holy Ghost born. That's right. And she was just having a wonderful time rejoicing as she went up.
And I can see Elisabeth raise up the curtain, look out, say, "Oh, there comes Mary. Oh," she says, "Zechariah, I tell you, when--when she comes in, just go... can I go get her?" And just opened the door and run out, and grabbed her, and met her, and began to hug her, and kiss her.

L-51 You know, people used to love one another. They don't no more, you know. Little dry shake, you know, hold your hand out like this, you know. "How do you do?" I don't like that. I like a great big old fashion pump-handle shake, you know, like, kinda like this that you can really feel it. Don't you like that?
Here not long ago Mr. Bosworth... We was in a meeting in Miami and there was a Duchess there. Now, what it is, don't ask me. It was a great big woman back there, and--and people, thousands, trying to be prayed for. And after me coming out of the meeting now, been under the anointing and everything, and Brother Bosworth grabbed me by the arm and said, "Oh, Brother Branham, the Duchess who let us have this land..." Said, "She's standing right at the door. I want you to meet her."
I said, "What about them poor sick people out there? If there's any more strength left, let me see them?"

L-52 And she said... He said, "Oh," but said, "the Duchess is such a wonderful woman." And three or four of the ushers, and away they went. There was a great, big lady standing there. I guess Duchesses dress that way, all the jewelry enough to pay a missionary a thousand times around the world, preach the Gospel, great big earrings hanging down, and--and she was standing there. And she had--had a pair of glasses on a stick, looking at them like this. And they'll... I--I don't mean to stay that for a joke 'cause this is no place to joke. But you know, looking through a stick like that.
And she said, "Are you Doctor Branham?"
I said, "No, ma'am." I said, "I'm Brother Branham."

L-53 And she said, "Well, Doctor Branham, I am charmed to meet you," holding her hand up like this.
I reached and got a hold of her big fat hand. I said, "Get it down here so I'll know you when I see you." See? So like that.
I don't mean to be joking. See? I'm just telling how that people try to put on. See? And then you get cold and indifferent. I like real love, genuine love, something that you can feel.
Paul Rader said one time, said, "Brother Billy, I was leaving my wife one morning." Said, "We was setting at the table. And I'd--I'd got up kind of on the wrong side of the bed, and I'd said something to her I know that hurt her feelings." And said, "I never apologized."
