<TITLE>22. Par 81-84</TITLE>L-81 Now, what that meant, clergymen don't ask me; I don't know. I put it right in my mouth, and I held my breath, and chewed real quick, and swallowed it. And when I swallowed it that time, the one that was leaning towards the south went, "...?... [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.]," stood up besides the other. He said, "Go tell the mother, THUS SAITH THE LORD, her child will live."
I run out into the hall, real quick and begin screaming, top of my voice, here come Brother Baxter with with his pajamas on, Brother Moore running down the hall; I said, "Get Mrs. Isaacson right away, right quick."
So they went and got her. I said, "Call the mother and tell her, THUS SAITH THE LORD, her prayers are heard."

L-82 Oh, what a feeling. She called the house. The babysitter said, "The mother and father has been called to the hospital; they had never..." Why, it was just little house there like, for a hospital. Said, "They been called there; the baby's dying." Said, "They never even washed the baby yet, 'cause it was so crushed in the back." Said, "The baby's dying, and they've been called, and she was just there as a babysitter."
Mrs. Isaacson come right. I said, "Just hang it up and call the hospital."
So she hung up and called the hospital, and she got there, and she got the mother on the phone. And she said--the woman was screaming at the top of her voice, and Mrs. Isaacson said, "Now, look, dear, quieten down, just a minute; quieten down, till I can tell you." And I--Mrs. Isaacson, I could hear her, know, going through the motions, and she said, "I'm trying to quieten her; she's screaming." Said, "Maybe the baby's dead."
I said, "Tell her not to worry, no matter if he's dead or what, he's going to live."

L-83 And so she kept trying to quieten her. And she said, "Now, look, listen to me." See? She said, "Brother Branham has just saw a vision about a flower raising up." And said, "He said tell you THIS SAITH THE LORD, your baby is going to live."
And when she got to herself, around...?... she said, "How well I know it." Said, "He's just come to himself, and we washed him and fixing to take him home now." God had answered prayer.
Now, look, I never had one thing to do with that. I never had nothing to do with the healing of that baby. That mother's faithful prayer found grace in the sight of God. God just spoke to me and said, "Go, tell her." You see what I mean? That doesn't make you weep; that makes you shout. Those things are true. God in heaven knows it. There's their names and addresses if you wish to write to them.

L-84 He's the same great Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen. Heavens and earth will pass away, but His Word will never fail. When He made a promise, He made it sovereignly; it's to whosoever will, that can receive it, can believe it, can act upon the same. The same results will come every time. Amen. Oh, I get emotional. It's enough to make you emotional, to know that a poor lost sinner, hell bound...
Speaking to my wife the other day, setting out there a lady come brought me a little plaque said, "Sunset and the evening star, and one clear call for me." And I was hiding in the house, there's so many people around. I said, "Sweetheart, think of it. Twenty-five years ago, my father drink so." I said, "Just think of it, I'd go downtown and talk to somebody; just because I was a Branham they'd turn their head and walk away. I couldn't help it." I said, "Now, think of it; I have to hide somewhere in the wilderness to get just a little time of peace."
What did it? My education? I have none. What did it? Personality? I have none. What did it? Jesus Christ the Son of God, stooped down by:
 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
 That saved a wretch like me!
 I once was lost, but now am found,
 I was blind, but now I see.
 Oh, when we've been there ten thousand years,
 Bright shining as the sun;
 We have no less days to sing His praise
 Than when we first begun.
