<TITLE>18. Par 63-65</TITLE>L-63 And I--I couldn't tell him. I hated to tell him. I knew the baby was going to die. Went back and told my wife. Told oh, a lot of their friends and my neighbors and things, "The baby ain't going to live." Little girl, about eight years old, I said, "She's ain't going to live. She'll be dead within three days. I seen that mother standing there crying, bowed her head three times, the tears running down. Seen a little white casket pass through the room when I was standing there." I said, "She's going to go."
"Well," said, "you ought to go tell Lee."
And I said, "I don't want to tell him." I said, "I love little Beatrice first, and I..." You all know who I'm talking about. So I said, "I love little Beatrice, and I--I don't to hurt her to know it, and I don't want to tell the father." And--and I said, "I don't know what to do. But I know the baby..." And three days, she was gone. See? I did, but I didn't want to tell the father." See?

L-64 Now, that way... Now, lots of times I've went and prayed. In Africa there where there was only about three or four people on the platform. And when something would take place on the platform, I just made a congregational prayer. And twenty-five thousand miracles taken place at once. See? It's the people's faith. Now, a lot of times we bring the people right up to the platform, lay hands on them, pray for them, send them out. They go out and get well. See? So it's just whatever the people thinks. It's their faith anyhow.
But to curse a thing, I want to know first what I'm doing. That's me doing it then. If you come have hands laid on, that's your faith, that's what you believe. You understand what I mean now, everybody? See? And I'm afraid to say. Here comes a person; and I don't know nothing about them, never seen them before. "Brother Branham, I got so-and-so with me. And I--I--I--I got cancer. I got tubercular." I'm just afraid to say that. See, I don't know what I'm doing. See, I--I'd rather say, "I'll pray for you." See, like that. But when I can see a vision, and see what's going to take place, that's different. See, I--I know what to do. And I--I--I understand then what... It's just like walking into anything. But a lot--lot of times I pray for the people hundreds of times.

L-65 Brother Shire setting right back there. I'm looking at him now. I been somewhere to a funeral service, buried Sister Roberson's mother. Brother Shire, I never seen the man in any more condition, just than he was in. I... Migraine headaches, or something or other... I don't know. And you got to a place where you was unconscious like, didn't know nothing. Walked right into his room, just had a word of prayer, and walked back out. I said, "Just as certain as I'm standing here, he will he--be healed." And that was it, walked right out.
Mrs. Wood there, her mother laying dying with a cancer on her face, sore. You know what it is, you even touch your lip here, in here, you can die in a little bit.
A bee stung a man down here below New Albany recently. Stung him on the lip and he died in about two minutes.
Anything right around here... Don't never squeeze nothing on your lips, 'cause it runs to the nerve that runs to your brain. Really, people... A man should never shave over their lips. That's exactly right. When your razor pulls, tears comes in your eyes. It's bad right in there, 'cause them main nerves.
