<TITLE>13. Par 47-50</TITLE>L-47 Brother Gene Goad, setting here, up in New Hampshire last spring, there was a lady come on the platform packing a baby. Now, he said, "Brother Branham, wasn't that that lady?"
I said, "No, that wasn't her." We'd been looking for about four or five years for her. And I said, "That wasn't her." I said, "Because this woman was a... It had... It was blond-headed, and she was tall, and dressed different, the baby was older." And this was a little bitty baby, real, real sick.
And so, when the lady come up, the Holy Spirit begin to move, and said that the--the doctors had give the baby up, begin to tell all the history of the baby, as He usually does, and told her that her little baby couldn't eat anything. Every time it would eat, I believe (Is that right?), it would throw it up. And it was so many months old, and only weighed just two or three pounds, or something. And if it did stay in the stomach, it went right through it as a dysentery. And they... It was in a terrible shape. But the Holy Spirit spoke out, THUS SAITH THE LORD, the baby's healed.

L-48 And I looked to see where Billy was; I couldn't see him to make him understand. So I said, "I'll just wait and see how blind they are, if they was as blind as I was." So went on.
And after we started home that night, got in the car. My sis--my daughter-in-law said, "Did you notice that sweet little baby on the platform?" She said, "It was the cutest little thing. And so sick."
Wife said, "I noticed that baby."
And I thought, "Now, they'll name it." I let it go on. They never named it.

L-49 Next day, we was going home, and I couldn't get out of Chicago till noon. My car froze up, and I had to get it thawed out. And it was about noon 'fore I got to leave. And going down the road, the wife said, "Billy, did you notice that little baby last night? Wasn't that the sweetest little thing?"
I said, "Yes, it was." and just went on. And she's kept passing by it again. I said, "Honey, did you know anything, any special about that baby and mother?"
Said, "No, I don't think so."
I said, "You remember about five years ago, a little woman to be dressed with a coat suit on."
She said, "That was it?"
I said, "Just exactly. That was it." And my daughter-in-law and son, later we caught up with them and went in to have our--our night's supper; we call it. And so, we went in to have our supper. And the--and Loyce named about the baby again. And I mentioned to her.
And Billy said, "That was right, daddy. That was that baby, wasn't it."
"Yes."

L-50 And from that, the thing's changed. Everybody... I can bring here, haul them up and pray for them. That doesn't matter. And every one... Sometime along the line, the Holy Spirit will stop me, and say, "Talk to this one." And then usually, if I've had discernment on one, I couldn't have no more. Every time I met a person, it'd be the same thing. But now it isn't. See? I can have, maybe, go along, and something has to be, I see somebody look like they're going to need it, the Holy Spirit will sometimes talk, stop, speak to them. Then maybe It'll leave me completely. And maybe It'll go way on down somewhere else, maybe somebody else, maybe discouraged or something; It'll stop, tell them. Then completely leave me.
And I rest up between those times (You see?), so I can make an altar call. Oh, it's--it's way different than it used to be. That way, I can pray for every one of them, every person. And my meeting has been revolutionized, because the thing the people here thought, "There's not enough gets prayed for." Well, I couldn't help it. When I'd have discernment for one, He'd bounce right to another, and then I just couldn't come away from It. But now It does. It just leaves me, and goes on (You see?), 'cause God takes a notion to say something. Oh, that's much better.
