<TITLE>02. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 Now, this evening we're going to have another healing service or prayer for the sick. And last evening was one of the outstanding times to me, when God can open the eyes of the blind, and make the dumb to speak, and the deaf to hear, that means God is on the job, doesn't it? Certainly does.
And now, I'm almost positive that the vision I was speaking of has--is being fulfilled. And maybe tonight, the Lord willing, I'd like to--I've got it wrote on the flyleaf of my Bible, here, that happened on, I believe January the 14th, at Lima, Ohio. I want you to see just exactly how it unfolded, which was told. God cannot lie, 'cause He's God. He can't--He can't tell something and then take it back. I have tell things, and I have to take it back, 'cause I'm a man. You tell things, and you have to take it back because you're mortal, too. But God can't say anything and take it back, because He's God. He knows the end from the beginning.
Something can come up, and we won't keep our promises, 'cause we can't; we don't know the future. God does. So He can't say anything and then take it back, say, "I was mistaken." He wouldn't be God and do that. He's never mistaken. He's always perfect.

L-5 And since a little boy, there's one thing I... Gifts and callings are without repentance. God gives them by His sovereign grace. And I have seen visions since a little boy. The first thing I can remember is a vision. And I have never, in one time in all these years, ever--He has never said one thing in them visions, which has been thousands of them, that's ever been one time wrong. Think of it. I'm forty-eight. I have seen visions since I was about eighteen months old. That's right. Just a baby. And I have never seen it one time fail. And it won't fail. It can't fail. It's God.
Now, I can't make Him show me anything. He doesn't show me according to my desire; He shows according to what His will is. There's been many things that I have prayed for, "Lord, will you just tell me how it will come out, so I can comfort the people?" He never--He never say a word to me about it. Turn around and tell me something else. But He tells me what He wants me to know. He's my Father. And what He wants me to know, why, He tells me. Ain't none of my business, well, that's--that's His business. You see? But... That shows it doesn't lay in man; it's in God. These are just gifts.

L-6 Now, at nighttime when we see the things take place like you do... I thought I'd maybe--I would take just a moment to try to do my best to explain it, the best that I can. There's no way to explain it. I do not understand it a bit more than you do. It just happens, and that's all I know. I have no control of it.
Someone said not long ago, said, "Brother Branham," (I had a--a sick spell). Said, "Did you keep your religion during time of your sick spell?"
I said, "No, sir. My religion kept me during my sick spell." That was the difference.
