<TITLE>01. Par 1-7</TITLE>58-1002, But From The Beginning It Was Not So, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 87 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. Very happy to be back tonight in the service of the Lord God, and trusting His blessings upon the services tonight. I was glad to see tonight Brother Robert Daugherty back in the room there. It was at Brother Daugherty that I--sponsored my first campaign. And I remember going to him... There's still some people setting here that help me get over there; and Brother Creech here, I think's one of them.

L-2 The visions had just begin to happen. And the Angel of the Lord just met me up here at Green's Mill, told me what would take place. And it wasn't hardly two weeks till he called for me to come over to St. Louis. His girl was with some kind of, like Saint Vitus' dance. And we went there and prayed, and made all kind of vows, and it looked like nothing was just happening. I was just going to stay ('cause I didn't have campaigns before that), just till it was over, till I found out what the Lord would do.

L-3 You know, Brother Robert, I believe it'd been better if I'd just kept it that way. 'Course, there'd probably wouldn't been as many saved, but just stay with one case till it's over, till you know. And the next day, I guess it was along two or three o'clock in the afternoon (or that same day, I don't remember now.), that I was setting in a car outside of the parsonage, and his father was there, and I was by myself. I'd felt the Spirit of the Lord come, and I went outside the parsonage and set out there. And little Betty was just like a wild person, just screaming. And doctors could do nothing for her. And mother and dad, both, they looked very bad; they'd set up days and weeks with her. And there a vision came just before the car, in front of the car. And I saw the vision and run in and told Brother Robert and them just what to do and the girl would be well.

L-4 I suppose you said she'd be here tomorrow night, didn't you, Brother Robert, to testify? So now that's been some fourteen years ago, I guess, twelve--fourteen years ago--thirteen years ago, and she's a healthy, fine looking young woman. Will be here tomorrow night, the Lord willing... Divine healing lasts just as long as faith lasts (That's right.), just as long as faith last.

L-5 And I believe I see Brother Fred Sothmann and my friends from Canada setting back in here too. Glad to see you all in tonight. Many other friends here, I wish I had time to recognize each and every one of you. I guess I couldn't from right here, but I want you to know that we certainly welcome you. Brother Boyd here, I believe I remember him, and a--a Mennonite brother. So we were happy to have you here to this little time of fellowship around the Word.

L-6 And now, tomorrow the... We want to announce this too, that the latest of books... Now, we're not here... I can't think of this Brother setting, Mennonite Brother next to him, I can't... Carson, yes.
The--the books are at the back at a table back there; they're the latest of the messages. They've never been in the campaigns as yet. They're back there with the tapes of the latest of the messages and so forth. And the boys has had them printed up, and they're available at the back of the building as you go out tonight.

L-7 And I think the--in the morning, I think the interviews start about eight or eight-thirty in the morning. And my, I told him to make interviews for those who wanted to see me privately on spiritual matters. My, I didn't realize that the little tabernacle here would, it would be that way, but it certainly has been crowded down. My. So, well, it's good. The Lord sometimes gets blessings from that, what we try to do to do something to help the brothers and sisters along the way.
