<TITLE>06. Par -</TITLE>L-7-7 God takes hold where you can't take hold. And then when the man was standing there, before I... I said, "Well, perhaps he's deaf and dumb." And all of a sudden, there appeared a vision before me. [An alarm bell rings--Ed.] Then... Now, excuse that watch alarming. And that was get--come over here and get started at. So, I knowed you picked it up on this. They give me a watch over there that alarms, so that isn't stopping time yet, I hope. So in the... I'll hear of this. Don't worry.
So then the man standing there, the vision, I quickly, perhaps saw Finland or something. I don't remember, but now, whatever it was, they said I told him that he was a Finn. And he a...?... [Brother Branham imitated the sound made by the Finnish man--Ed.] or something another, made he was a Finn. Well, Joseph here said he couldn't--that was outstanding to him, how It would know what nationality the man was. God in His grace showed that.

L-8-2 [A dialogue between Brother Branham with Brother Mattsson-Boze's words in editor's notes--Ed.]
["It--it was--It was this, that you didn't say a word to the man."]
Yes, sir.
["So then you said, 'I thought you were deaf and dumb,' you said. But you said, 'No, you're not deaf and dumb. You just don't understand English.'"]
That's it. That was it.
["That was it."]
That was it.
["And I--I couldn't pick it out how you could understand that."]
I can't either, and I didn't. But then It told him that he had, I believe, it was ["heart"] trouble with his liver or something...
["Yeah, yeah..."]  [Someone else says, "Heart."--Ed.]
Heart trouble--heart...
["You told him he was Finnish, he was a preacher, and he had heart trouble."]
I wonder if it would be by chance that that man would be in the building today, and if somebody is setting near him that would just kindly... If they could speak Finnish, would--would see... If that's right, would you raise up your hand? If the man is in the building today, the Finnish man that was here last night was--we're speaking of, that was on the platform. I just wanted to--wanted to...
["I--I knew the man."]
Oh, you know the man.
["Yeah, I know the man, so I know it was correct."]
Oh, I thought maybe he come all the way from Finland just to be prayed for or something.
["He--he--he has been here a--a year or two, but he was not young when he came, so he has never learned English."]
Oh, is that--that's it?
["He has Finnish meetings up in Waukegan, Illinois."]
Well, that's--I guess, he went back maybe to his home.

L-9-1 Now, now, when Jesus was here on earth, and the... He was God's anointed Mouthpiece. Do you believe that? He was the--the only begotten Son of God, and God was in Christ, reconcile the world to Himself, without measure. You believe that, Bible students? He was the Emmanuel. There's none of us will ever come to that place. No, no. He was God's holy virgin-born Son, and never will we be. And never will we be able to do the things that--like that, because He was that. But now, He promised that the things that He did we would do also, because we would become adopted children to God through Him. Is that right? Now, that's not--that's for every one of us. Every believer becomes sons and daughters of God. Is that right?

L-9-2 Now, when the woman with the blood issue touched His garment, that was just like peeping through the hole. See? He felt virtue went from Him. He got--He got weak, but He didn't know what happened. Somebody had touched Him by a--a faith. And He asked who it was, and everybody denied it. So then, what taken place after He did that, why, He looked around until He found... Now, there's a... How did He know her? That's the question I want to get to you. How did He know her?
