<TITLE>03. Par 11-15</TITLE>L-11 And somehow or other, the Holy Spirit just seem to place Africa right in front of me. I looked at it. And I have a vision wrote right here in the book, that the return to Africa will be far greater than the first African meeting. And then, the people not knowing what was going on, that a vision taken place, and I said, Heavenly Father..."
Not that we ask for miracles. The Bible said, "A weak and adulterous generation seeks after miracles." And we don't seek after miracles, but God performs miracles. Right at the same time He said that, He was performing miracles. But if we seek after them, have to have miracles, something to show of some evidence that--that we're saved or something like that... I don't believe in evidences. I believe the evidence that we're saved, we took God at His Word. That's the best thing I know, and then the fruits follow.

L-12 Now, I asked Him if He would just grant it as a--as a sign that it was time to return back to Africa, which our contacts are getting stronger all the time. And when we prayed for that girl, she could speak and hear and move. It was just marvelous to see what our Lord could do. And so we're happy tonight for that. And know that that lovely home, ever where it's at, is very happy tonight to see that girl. How did it happen when the nerves were all cut off from it (See?), no way at all, nothing. It done cut and clamped off, the nerve to the tongue or the--the vocal and to the hearing; which they're both on the same nerve, but it was severed by the accident. But God in some way... How many was there, heard the girl speak? Let's see in here. That's right. See? And she could speak and hear and talk. I'd talk like this... [Brother Branham speak softly--Ed.] I said, "Do you hear me?"
She said, "Yeah."
"Do you hear me?" Then I said, "Say, 'Mama.'"
She said, "Mama."
I said, "Say, 'Jesus.'"
She said, "Jesus," and go right ahead and talk.

L-13 So the Lord is wonderful, isn't He? Full of mercy... And then, being out from the healing services now for two weeks, it kind of got my heart pounding to good again for--ready for another service.
Now, over in the book of Numbers. I love the Old Testament. We're going to have a lesson tonight on--out of the book of Numbers, Numbers the 13th chapter and the 30th verse. Just read one verse for a basic and for a beginning. And then we'll see, if we read one verse out of the Bible, I know this one thing, my word will fail because I'm a man; but that Word of God will never fail because It's the Word of God. And so, one verse out of here will--given us foundation, that every person coming will be blessed, because just no more than reading of the Word. Now, in the 30th verse...
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once and possess it; for we are... able to overcome it.
And may the Lord add His blessings to the Word.

L-14 Now, my subject tonight is "At Kadesh-Barnea." And this subject that we have under consideration, for just a little background, to bring up to the spot to where, if the Lord willing... All this, of course, is never premeditated; it's just spoken by inspiration, just as it's given. I never had schooling to learn how to preach it. And I've tried it four or five times and really made an awful mess out of it. I--I just don't know how to do it. But I do love Him, and I depend on Him. And I know you all do too.

L-15 So now, in the beginning this is a picture that God... A great drama of the Bible that God has set in order here for us for--that by this we might prosper. I believe over in Hebrews the 10 chapter, or the 12th chapter said, "Seeing that we are compassed about with such a great cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin that does so easily beset us, that we might run with patience the race that's set before us, Looking to the Author and Finisher of our faith, the Lord Jesus Christ."
