<TITLE>14. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 They're here now. I ordered--asked my son to get his car. He got the car, and we drove over a hundred miles today, and went straight to the spot, and every word of it just as perfect as it could be. God changed a whole routine of nature and performed a miracle. You'll hear about it later. See?
Come right back, he said, "Now, what about the Western Union?" And if the man's standing here, in the building that was at this little Western Union; they drove up here, said, "No, this is a branch office; you have to go down to another place down here." Went down there, and there was the telegram with every word that had just come in, exactly the way the vision showed it. See? That happens hundreds of times. See? That--that never bothered me; that's God using His gift.

L-51 But you pulling from it, that's you using God's gift. You say, "Brother Branham, could you tell me what's wr..." No, sir, I can't do it. I can't do what I want to; it's Him. I can't make myself see a vision; it's Him to do it. But He told me, "If you get the people to believe you," when the Angel met me that night, you who are reading the book. And He said, "If you can get the people to believe you, then be sincere when you pray, nothing shall stand before that prayer." That's the reason I was saying last night what I did. If I spoke wrong, I'm sorry. When I said, "You've got to keep still." When I say, "Keep still, don't move," and you keep on going on, that's shows you don't believe. See, you've got to believe it. See? "If you will believe, get the people to believe you, then be sincere when you pray, then nothing will stand." But no matter...

L-52 Here not long ago a woman come to the altar, up--up to the platform. She was walking with two crutches, walked up there; and I said, "Lady..." the Holy Spirit did, rather, through the lips of the servant. See all these recorders? That's how I hear just exactly what's said. I don't know what I'm saying under the vision. But then, the boys here with the recorders take it, take it right back and we got every meeting we've had for years and years, say exactly. And not one time has it ever failed. And it never will.
I've saw visions for forty something years, and never has it failed. I saw visions when I was a sinner. Why? It was a gift. First vision I ever remember, my mama told me of me speaking it to her when I was--wasn't quite two years old. "Gifts and callings are without repentance." You're born that way; the trait's in you. Just like you're born with blue eyes, or black eyes, or brown eyes, or what. It's something God has done. And that's just--that's the only way it can correctly be. It has to come from God, not something you made; it's what God has ordained to be. Then it's of God. If you're just bluffing and make it up, you're hand--it'll be wrong. See?

L-53 Now, watch this. Always... This woman when she come she had her crutches; she walked up, I said, "Lady, you come to the meeting, because that someone told you to come. You don't even believe in the faith." That upset her.
And she said, "I belong to a certain-certain church." And she said, "I love my church."
I said, "You should do it. But you've got to believe."
She said, "Well, can you help me?"
I said, "No ma'am; I can't." I said, "Your help will have to come with your individual faith in the finished works of Christ."
And she said, she said, "Well, I believe that."
And I said, "Will you believe it with all your heart?"
She said, "Yes."
And I said, then I looked back to her again, and the darkness that was over her had left. And I said, "Do you believe me to be His servant?"
"Yes."
I said, "Then I want you to walk up there at the end of the--the stairs, and throw away your crutches, walk on down off the platform."
She said, "You expect me to do that after being on these crutches for all these years?"
I said, "Now, I thought you said you believed me," See? I said, "Now, you'll always be on those crutches."
