<TITLE>14. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 And so standing out there, he said, "Brother Branham, I'm a builder, and I build for the government. But, you know, there has been a prophet tell us that I should not go up into--around Dawson Creek, or a little above there (I forget the name of the place), to build a post office. For he tells us that the Russians are ready to make a march through Canada to the United States and will clean the whole British Columbia out as they come down."
Well, I never want to doubt a man's word. Now, you mustn't never do that. And so I said, "Well, maybe that is so, Brother--Brother Gobel." I said, "My, and that is a prophet said that?"
"Yes." So...?... loving brother. He said, "Oh, I don't know what I'll do now." And said, "I'm out of work, but, yet, that was such a wonderful job."
I slipped off and went out and knelt down and started praying. And when I did, the Angel of the Lord come, said, "Go, tell him, THUS SAITH THE LORD, go on up there because the man's wrong." And said, "And also, speak to him to tell his wife to watch that doubting that she's doing about that baby."
So I went back, and I said, "Brother Gobel, not to discredit your brother, your friend, whoever it is, the man might have been impressed to say that. Now, you'll... I don't want to have anything light of that brother. No, sir." But I said, "I have, as a servant of the Lord, THUS SAITH THE LORD; you'll be safe and be blessed. Go do the work."
He said, "If you say that, Brother Branham, I believe it."
I said, "Tell your wife to quit doubting about that baby."  That's been about three years ago. Well, last week the baby was born. After eight years and something, God's Word is eternally true. And the same God that lived in the Old Testament is the same God that lives today. Hundreds of those cases...

L-47 Why, what am I trying to say? It's Jesus Christ that was back there with Elisha. It's Jesus Christ with you today, that's with you, in you, through you, over you: Christ, He's the same.

L-48 Then when this baby was come up to be of a age, along about ten or twelve years old... Oh, how happy that family was with this little boy.
Now, listen close before we start the prayer line. We want to make the climax here, if God willing.
Now, watch this little fellow. Oh, I can imagine this little Shunammite boy as he jumps over the chairs and pulled off all those things and everything. But, oh, it was all right; that was a boy, their only child. I know what it is; I got one. And so, oh, how he'd just go on his daddy when he come into the field at night. He'd grab the little fellow and bounce him up-and-down. And, oh, how could you not love a little fellow like that? No matter how mischievous they are, that's all right.
I'll tell you; they're only that way once and that... How do you know that you're not holding a prophet on your arm. How do you know... When Abraham Lincoln's mother picked up that little baby down in Kentucky, in a split-rail cabin on an old shuck bed, and those little hands that struck him on the--her on the face; how did she know the greatest president was ever in the United States patted her on the cheek? How did Charles G. Finney, who sent a million souls to Christ, how did his mother thought... When he was a little baby and patting him on the--her on the cheek, that she was--having a little hand spatting her on the face like that, would point the way to a million people to glory? How did Moses' father and mother, or Elijah, any of the rest of them? Certainly. Love those little fellows.
