<TITLE>07. Par 24-27</TITLE>L-24 So I slipped over, and got an apron, and put it around me, and I begin to help her. And I said, "Honey, you know what? I saw the prettiest dress the other day. I just so wanted to get it for you. And it was in a certain city just here close, and we'll go get it." And all the time in my heart praying, "Heavenly Father, quieten this dear, little woman." And I put my hand on her, not knowing, her not knowing what I was doing. I'd say, "Yes, honey, oh, it was beautiful." "O Lord, quieten this little woman." And just kept on you know, her not knowing... What was I doing? Was projecting, creating a different atmosphere. Walk in the love of God; have fellowship.
And in a few moments she got quiet. And then when she got quiet, Sarah and Becky divided up the play blocks; Joseph got him something to play with; and there was peace in the home.
What was it? Projecting love. They were mine, my children, my wife, and I was god. And then God giving His Spirit, and through that Spirit, with love to my family, sovereign grace come in and quietened the family. It'll do it. I know it will.

L-25 Here sometime ago, I was interested in a great thing, with Mr. Krause of the Full Gospel Christian Businessmen (many of you know him), a very good friend to our most honored and beloved Brother Oral Roberts. And so, when Mr. Krause was such a good friend to Oral Roberts, "Oh," he said, "if anything would get wrong with me, I'm a friend of Oral Roberts."
So finally one day, Mr. Krause developed a kidney trouble. So he goes down to eat dinner with Brother Roberts. And Brother Roberts said, "Oh, Brother Krause, that's just a minor thing to God." Laid his hands up... And Brother Oral with that real (excuse the expression, but) bulldog faith, throwed his hand over on him, and said, "I rebuke it." Said, "Brother Krause, don't worry you're going to get all right."

L-26 And Brother Krause said, "I really felt better." But after a few days, it come back again. Said, "I went down to Brother Roberts again." And said, "The same thing taken place." Said, "Then I thought that I knowed William Branham, so I would go over to him." And said, "He saw visions, so I would stand before William Branham; he's a good friend of mine, and then William Branham will be able to help me."
So he called around and found out that I was in Shreveport, Louisiana. Mr. Krause and his wife flew down to Shreveport, and they come into the meetings. And he said, "Brother Branham, I've just got a little time, let us go to a side; and I would like to see what the Lord would tell me."
And I said, "All right, Brother Krause, let us go aside." I stood there for forty-five minutes, and the Lord said nothing. I said, "I'll pray Brother Krause."
He said, "If the Lord shows you anything, call me up." I prayed for him. He said, "You know, I feel better. I believe the Lord just healed me without showing me any trouble."
I said, "Well, we're thankful to God."

L-27 So I, that night, being a dear friend to Brother Krause, I prayed for him, continually prayed. And about a few weeks, he come back again. He said, "Let us stand before the Lord and see what He will tell me. I am in a serious condition." I stood for another hour or more, and the Lord never said anything.
So then away he went to the doctor. The doctor says, "It's too much job for me; you better go to Mayo's." Up to Mayo's he went. Mayo's looked him over, and he said, "Sir, you've got one chance out of a thousand to live. That is immediate operation."
Well, he said, "I'll take it."
And he went out, and he said, "I thought if I was that close to dying, I'd better check up with God." So he said, "Lord, You know I love You, and I've tried with all my heart to support everything that's right." He is a wealthy man. And he said... He manufactures plows. You may know him; he's in Kansas.
