<TITLE>13. Par 54-58</TITLE>L-54 I could not no more control myself than you could fly to the moon, just by that word. And I said, "Boys, there's something fixing to happen. There's a little animal of some sort; it'll be brought to life. There's going to be life connected with it, and you'll see it right away."
And I thought, "Now, what have I said?"
And I begin to think of some things, what made me say that? No vision, it was just something spoke. What was it? It wasn't my intellectuals; I couldn't even think of such a thing. It was down below that. It was in the heart that God had come into. He was doing the speaking. I didn't even, wasn't thinking of such a thing. And It spoke.

L-55 I think there's where Jesus said, "If thou believeth in thy heart, and shall say to this tree, or to this mountain, and then don't doubt, but believe that what you say will come to pass, you'll have what you say." There's my point.
Get to that spot to where something is not yourself. It's something beyond your reasoning that speaks it.
We went on. In closing I say this, Brother Wood and them are setting here as a witness. The next morning... That night we went, and the Lord gave us a great night of fishing. No one catched any fishes, and we caught three there just in a few minutes. And the three weighed nearly twenty pounds. And we just had great strings of fish.

L-56 The next morning we went back, and was putting the baits new on the line and not one fish. It was over. I said, "Let us go into this little cove and rest a few minutes, brethren. And we shall fish for bluegills with a fly line."
We went back up there, and was fishing for bluegills, back in the little cove with our boat. And every time we'd get stopped long enough, the motor would stop... We wasn't fishing; we were talking about God.
And Mr. Lyle, which is now... He went to his sister to try to get her out of Jehovah Witness. And she told him... She--she told him he was listening to devils, that we were devils; said, "Lyle, you know better than that," and all these certain things.

L-57 Then Lyle caught a little bluegill about like that, and he was talking. So he let the little fellow swallow the big hook. It went plumb down into the stomach of the little fish. And when he got a hold of it, he couldn't pull it, so he just squeezed it in his hand, wrapped it around, and pulled the entrails out of it. Had to get this hook out of the mouth, for if he cut the hook off it would kill... dead fish, going to die anyhow.
And here's the words that he said, "You sure shot your wad little fellow," and throwed him into the water, and he flipped three or four times, and went circling down through the blue waters till he hit the bottom, laid there just a few minutes till he come back up to the top water, and fluttered three or four times; his little fins straightened out like that, laid sideways curled over. And for about twenty minutes, us fishing, he'd done floated back into the wilderness, back up into some trash.

L-58 And I was... And someone said, "Them little fish is really having a breakfast, they're feeding."
I said, "Yes, that's right."
And we said, "Oh, isn't God great...?..."
Brother Wood said, "Oh, it's so great, Brother Branham; we have the privilege of being here with you."
Oh, I said, "Don't think that, Brother Wood's. This," I said, "it's not a--it's not the holy mountain; it's not the holy place. It's the holy God, not a holy man, but a holy God." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... And while we were talking Something moved on me. Said, "I'm going to show My power now."
