<TITLE>05. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 He went with Brother--Brother Bosworth for about two years, and when I was making my first trip to Africa, I suppose it's been about four years ago, he was... I was in that big arena there in New York where they wrestle at, and the place was packed out, and they had movie cameras setting their headlights and everything down. I was kinda behind the stage, and they started sing "Only Believe," and I looked standing over behind the stage, and there stood little Osborn standing over there. He seen me. He started crying. I run over and put my arms around him. I said, "Well, bless your little heart." He just cried like a baby.
He said, "Brother Branham, I flew up here to tell you good-bye. I know you're leaving in the morning."
I said, "Well... so glad." I said, "Brother Osborn, I've heard of your great work for the Lord," I said, "out in the islands," and what all he's done. I said, "I guess you're just wore out."
He said, "Me wore out?" He said, "I ain't done nothing to be wore out about." He said, "I--I don't have any discernment and have to go through all that punishment." He said, "You know what? I just stand there, and take the Word, and tie Satan in such a knot till he just can't get out of it, and then pray for the people and stand back and rejoice while they're all testifying by the hundreds." He said...?...
I said, "Well, that's wonderful. I wish I could do that."

L-16 He said, "Brother Branham," he said, "I'm glad I set under that old oak tree."
I said, "Do you know, it's still setting out there." I said, "He's going to Africa with me." Brother Bosworth was right there at the time.
Oh, such a lovely brother, Brother Tommy Osborn, and I'm sure you're reading his little book. It's the first time I ever had the privilege to say a word about his book. I just happened to see it laying here. You'll certainly enjoy it, everything. 'Cause he's a scholar, diplomat, Christian brother. Oh, just... He's just a fine fellow.

L-17 And now, the Lord be merciful to us as we study His Word together. I was thinking tonight on stead of... How many was here last night? Let's see your hands. Oh, that's fine. All right. You could help somebody else if you hear someone criticizing in the meeting of the tactics of how the meeting operates through the Holy Spirit.
And I thought tonight, I would talk on faith for a little while, just build up on Christian faith. I find out that one of the greatest hindrance that the church has got today, is that they're scared to death and... What are you scared about? That's what I'm wondering. If you'll just only realize, that who you are... You don't know who you are. You don't know who that is setting next to you.
Oh, you say, "Yeah, that's my neighbor. I know. I know him all right." But he's a son of God (See? That's right.), adopted by Jesus Christ into the family. That's a daughter of God setting next to you. And who are you? If you're a Christian believer, you're a son or daughter of God. What you scared about? No need of being scared. So that's... As long as the devil can keep you scared; that's all he wants to do; he's got you right then.
When Jesus rose up and said, "Fear not. I am He that was dead and is alive forevermore and have the keys of death and hell..." That's right.
