<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 Then I had the privilege, today, of--in the private interviews and so forth, meeting many other fine people. You got lovely people here in Oklahoma. I certainly appreciate them.
I have just a--a little bit of kindred of Oklahoma; my--I think my mother lived here for a few years, right near Tulsa, here.
And so I'm--then they moved on down to a place in Texas called Paris, Texas. Then from that, they went to Kentucky, moved out to Indiana, and then back to the West. And my father was a rider. And mother and dad were married then. So then they kindy settled down in Kentucky, and moved then, after my birth, to Indiana. And there we have been since. So it's a great people in this United States, a great world, a great people everywhere: where you find God's people, no matter what color or where--what country they're from, they're always the same.
Way down in Ceylon, and many different places, you take those people which hardly know right hand from left; when they receive the Holy Spirit they act just the same as you do when you receive It--not knowing what is right or left hand, some of them. And they act the same way you do when you receive the Holy Spirit. So we're thankful for that.

L-6 Now, we must get right along, because tonight we promised to run a--a little line of prayer for the sick. I do not claim to heal people. I don't believe there's anybody would do that. We just claim that we pray for them, and someone said, "Are you a Divine Healer, Brother Branham?"
I said, "No, sir. I'm not a Divine healer, but I certainly had some great answers to prayer. So, thank the Lord for that. But anything that we can do to help, some... What I'm here for, is to try to make the burdens of life just a little bit lighter for you. That's... It's kind of a struggle any way you take it. We all know that. And if we can lighten up each other's load, just a little bit, I think it shows such a real brotherly love and care for each other.

L-7 Now, I want to read from the Scriptures tonight, in Saint Matthew the 12th chapter, if anyone is a--a keeping the Scriptures down, and the 42nd verse of the 12th chapter.
 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Jesus had been kindly upbraiding the cities and the people, because they had not believed on Him. And He had showed to them all the works of God. But they had become so ecclesiastically like, until they had their own ways and their own ideas, just like today: many of us has got drawed up, just how the Lord will come. And sometimes they break off and make a denomination out of it, because one believes He will come on a white horse, the other one on a white cloud. What difference does it make, as long as He comes? That's the main thing: be ready. So, I--I believe that when He comes, it will probably be altogether different than what we've got figured out, anyhow. So I haven't got any set way. I'm just wanting to see Him come; that's all; and just be ready when He gets here.

L-8 And so, they had their ways fixed, and their theology had been upset a little bit, and they had denied Him, even had called Him that low name of Beelzebub, which was the prince of the devils.
When Jesus came to the earth, He was given the lowest Name that could be given. He went to the lowest city that could be, had the--no place to lay His head. And when God exalted Him, He taken Him higher than the heavens, till heavens; He has to look down to see it. He give Him a Name above every name, that everything in heaven and earth is named Jesus Christ. What God did for Him, and what we did for him: we mistreated Him, but God exalted Him.
