<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 One time, Brother duPlessis and I was talking sometime ago about the leadings of the Holy Spirit. And he gave me a word that stuck with me like a--something growed around me. He said, "Brother Branham, I've always found it this a way, that if I will just let the Holy Spirit lead me, don't take any thought. If He leads me contrary to what I'm thinking, just let Him lead you and be simple in it. Just follow the Holy Spirit and it always comes out right."
Then I thought, "Brother duPlessis, we are full-fledged brothers, for that's just the way I like it. Let the Holy Spirit lead, 'cause It's God's provided Agent to lead us."

L-10 Now, God makes a--a--a way to--for the escape, makes a way of salvation, makes a way for healing, all these things, and then we continue on, He ask, "Why?"
One time in the Bible, there in the Book of the Kings, there was a man who was king over Israel, and he was a evil man, son of Ahab, and his backgrounds had been evil to begin with.
And your life, today, will reflect in your children. You must remember that.
A few days ago, Demos Shakarian called me, and he said, "Brother Branham." We was talking about little Joseph setting in here somewhere tonight, my little son, and six years before he was borned, I saw him in a vision. We had a little girl, and the baby had to be born cesarean on because of the health of the wife. and so the doctor said that she could have no more children, said it was finished. And then, I said, "There'll be another one."
He said, "They--I--it just can't be, Mister Branham." Said, "You're going to kill your wife."
And I said, "But doctor, the Lord promised me a son, and his name's going to be called Joseph."
A couple of years after that, we knew we was going to have a baby at our house. And some of them asked me, "Is that Joseph?"
I said, "I don't know."
And when it was borned, it was a little girl. And now, if they didn't razz me. They said, "You meant Josephine."
And I said, "No, I meant Joseph."
The doctor says now, "It's impossible for her to have another one."
I said, "Oh, no. She'll have another one. She's going to have another baby, and it's going to be Joseph."
And then, when four years later, she was to be mother again. And they said, "Is this Joseph?"
I said, "I don't know, but Joseph is coming."
So that morning, the nurse came down and brought me, said, "Who--who is Reverend Branham?"
I said, "I'm he."
She said, "Reverend Branham, you have a fine seven pound, three ounce boy."
I said, "Joseph, you've been a long time getting here, honey. Daddy's kinda glad to see you." And so...
She said, "You called him, Joseph."
I said, "The Lord told me to call him that six years ago."

L-11 Demos ask me, he said, "Brother Branham, does your children see visions?"
I said, "Joseph has already seen visions."
He seen, about six weeks before it happened, a neighbor boy fall on a motorcycle and told us just how far he would skin hisself, what limb it would be. We thought the little fellow dreamed a dream, but he had not. And the boy fell at the spot he said, skinned his leg just the same way, just as perfect as it could be, and the child's three years old. See? It reflects.

L-12 Paul told Timothy to stir up the gift that was in him, that come from his grandmother, Lois. We find out that in the 7th chapter of Hebrews, that Paul speaking on tithe paying, that he said, Levi, who had an order from God to receive tithing of his brother, paid tithes, for he was yet in the loins of Abraham when he met Melchisedec, which was his great, great-grandfather. And it was accounted to him for paying tithing.
Your life will impress your children, and have--influence your children by the example you set before them. And I think it's a good thing that we put every effort we can before our children as godly parents. Make an example, be an example.
