<TITLE>05. Par 14-16</TITLE>L-14 And in going--seeing the time coming close when... I got a vision wrote in the back of my Bible we're going to Africa. They brought this young Ethiopian girl. And as she was coming up, I noticed she was swinging her leg. And she was kind of a--what we call kind of a slim, thin girl, about fifteen, real skinny, well dressed little lady. But I noticed her working her mouth. It was up like that, and the tears running down her cheeks. Well, I wondered what's the matter with that child. Well, when Mr. Cash come to the platform, her mother was behind her; he said, "Brother Branham, the girl has a--a severed nerve from an automobile accident, that bursted her something another, the nerve that--from her hearing and speech. She'll never speak or hear again." And said, "It was a automobile accident. It's," and said, "in doing so, it also done some other nerve that the doctor had to tie up which makes her, with her leg like that; it's stiff in her side."
Well, I said, "That's sure too bad; poor kid. My heart goes out for her." And I said, "Bring her here and let me pray for it."

L-15 So as she was coming I looked up over top of that girl's head; no visions had come; there was that tall grass, little mounds of ant hills and things like typical of South Africa. The grass a waving, I could hear wind blowing even. I knowed something had taken place. That left me; I didn't know what to say. I stood there a few moments. I said, "Now, friends, I want to make this clear. I just saw come before me a vision for Africa."
I said, "Perhaps maybe somebody's on their road here, or maybe He wants me to go over; it's time for the vision to be fulfilled, which will be exceedingly greater than the other one was." And so then as--I said, "Heavenly Father, we don't seek signs." How many knows what seeks after signs? "A weak and adulterous generation." Is that right? We don't want to be classed like that.

L-16 But I said, "We're not, but yet You give signs. And I'm asking You to do it. I've prayed and wanted to know what about going and so forth, when to go and so forth. But now, if this girl standing here and that vision has broke, if You want me to be ready to prepare for Africa, will You give this little child, poor little thing here, and a Christian... Although the doctor said the nerves was severed, it had to be a work of creation, would You just give her back her perfect soundness? And that'll be a sign between You and I, that I must make ready for Africa."
Not knowing that sailing right then was these brethren that'll be here tomorrow night, to make arrangements for the African campaign, knowing nothing of it. And when I took my hand from the little girl, she screamed, "Mother, look!" And she was as perfect and normal as she ever was in her life.
And there was some people there from very formal churches: Denies the very existence of the Holy Spirit, great denomination in the world today. Would argue with you at drop your hat or fight either one, that there was no such a thing as miracles. A great group of those people walked up there, one by one, husband and wife, and shook my hand and said, "Brother Branham, we have believed in miracles, but this confirms it that God is. 'Cause this girl's from our neighborhood." There you are. That's right. So, God still rules and reigns. Hallelujah. Oh, how we love Him.
