<TITLE>09. Par 25-27</TITLE>L-25 Now, when you get those ideas, you're wrong. That's right. Don't you never think that man has anything to do with it; it's God alone. It's all right for you to respect men and love them as your brother, but don't never put the love of anybody in your heart like you have of God, or before God. Keep Him first. Love one another. But that love in the Greek love is "phileo" which means "human love." But the love you have for God is "agapao" love, which is a Divine love.
So now, keep God's love first. But then, Brother Krause said that he always had such great faith in Brother Roberts. One day he--he found out he had a kidney trouble: kidney stone. He said, "Oh, my, that's easy. I'll just go down to Brother Roberts. When I have dinner with him..."
Oral said, "Sure, we can take care that. Right away, Brother Krause." Raised up, laid his hands on him, said, rebuked the thing.
Said, "He felt better." Went home for a day or two, it was back again. Goes back to Brother Roberts, and said, "Brother Roberts, the thing's back on me."
"We'll pray again." And he rebuked the thing again. Felt better for a few hours, back again. Kept doing that, till he found out that He didn't--wasn't getting anywhere. Oh, there.
"Oral, fails, I know somebody won't fail, Brother Branham. He sure won't fail." So he said, "I know, I'll go down stand before the--that gift, he will tell me just exactly what to do." Said, "I'll find where he's at."

L-26 I was in Shreveport, Louisiana, on my last meeting here. He come over to the Washington Rio Hotel, him and his lovely wife. And he said, "Brother Branham, I'm going to try to get a prayer card." They give it to him every night; he never was called in the line.

L-27 Loving him the way, just--just when he was starting to leave, he was down in the--the lobby. I was there when he come by. He started to crying, and he went out and shook my hand. I said, "Brother Krause, I want you to come up to the room. Come with me." And I went to the room.
And I said, "Now, Brother Krause, let us pray. I'll stand before you and before God, before God and you, rather, and I'll see what the Lord tells me." I humbled myself before the Lord, went out the way I always do, to try to find... And the Holy Spirit come down and struck me, and refused to say a word to me.
I said, "That don't happen very often. Let us try it again." And we prayed again and said, "Now, Lord, if we did anything wrong, why, You forgive us for it. We don't mean to be doing anything wrong. But Brother Krause is my good brother, and he wants to know what Your will is for him. Will You speak to me, Father? And now, I offer to Thee, not myself, for I have nothing to offer, but I come in the Name of the Lord Jesus, for His sake. And now, Brother Couch, my brother stands before me, who's helped me many times in great troubles and things and--and so forth, and we've been brothers. Now, will You speak, Lord?" And I humbled myself before the Lord, and the Holy Spirit refused to say a word. Then nothing I could do. Very seldom, about once or twice in my life, I ever seen it do that.
