<TITLE>14. Par 59-63</TITLE>L-59 Before I knew what I was talking about, that Scripture come to my mind, "Whatsoever thou saith, believe that it shall come to pass; in your heart say it, and you'll have what you say."
I--I can just almost... It was flooding out of me. And I thought, "What's this going on?"
Lyle and Banks setting there, we were fishing. The little dead fish been laying about twenty minutes all curled over there, floated back into the place, his little entrails hanging out of his mouth. And I looked at that little fish, and the thought come to me, He said to the fisherman, "Cast on the other side of the boat." They took His Word.

L-60 Peter said, "Lord, we've fished all night and took nothing. Nevertheless, at Your Word we'll throw the net."
There it is, at the Word. Something said to me, "God knows the fish; just speak the Word and watch what happens to that fish."
I said, "Little fish, in the Name of Jesus Christ come back to life." And God, my solemn judge, with them two man standing there, that little fish turned on his side, and swam away from there as hard as he could go, alive again. Speak the Word. Almighty God, as I stand here before Him in the presence of this company, and this Bible, knows that's the truth.
When people are dying, and yet God showed His power to those two--two Jehovah Witness that He is the Resurrection and Life. And there's nothing, but what He told you about. "Thou sayest and believe that what you say comes to pass, you'll have what you say."

L-61 What was it? God showing His power, not me, just a vine, or a branch. He energized the branch till I couldn't keep from uttering them voices. What would I ever thought of a little dead fish laying there, when we even had them cut up, and baited on the line? That little fish hanging there, laying there dead...
Mr. Wood and them setting right here looking at me now are witness of that. And the Spirit of God swept down through that valley until you'd thought the rapture was coming, even till Mr. Wood screamed out and said, "Oh, it's good to be here." Said, "Brother Branham, we're so happy to be here." The only expression they could give was to me being they're brother.

L-62 And I turned quickly, 'cause they seen that God had used me to speak life to a fish, and now it sounds crazy, but that's the same God that spoke life to that dead opossum laying there in the yard. He's Alpha and Omega, the Beginning the End. He's the Life, the Resurrection. He's the Power and the everlasting One, the same yesterday, today, and forever.
That gives me to know this: that someday when life is gone from this mortal body, and I lay yonder still, if He's interested in a fish, surely He's interested in me and you, who are trying to serve Him. And some glorious day He will come. Not the branch, but the Vine itself will speak from Its headquarters in glory, and those which are asleep in Christ shall rise and go to Everlasting Life. What a feeling. No one could express it.

L-63 When you see a dead fish laying on the water with its entrails pulled through his mouth, by a big handed men who squeezed the fish like this, and took it, and wrenched it, till you could hear it tearing, when he tore the entrails from the fish; throwed the little fellow in the water, he quivered four or five times, and kicked over, and that was it.
To see that little fellow, just in a moment of speaking that Word, swing hisself back into condition just as lively as he ever was, and swim down through that water just as hard as he could go, going back out to join his fellow fish...
He's God. He knowed that fish was there just the same as He knowed that one had a coin in its mouth. Just the same as He knowed if He'd throwed... If those people they say...
