<TITLE>27. Par 101-103</TITLE>L-101 These people looked to be just at their peak, just at their best. And I looking at them there and how they were looking. So that... I thought, "Isn't that wonderful?"
And when I seen my little girl, eight years old, when... You remember the night, and you've read it in my story. When I met her, she was a young woman. She said, "Hello, Dad."
And I said, "Dad? Why, you're as old as me. I don't understand."
She said, "Dad, on earth, I was your little Sharon."
And I said, "Where's your mother?"
Said, "She's up at your home waiting for you." She said, "I'll wait here for Billy Paul, my brother."

L-102 And when I come out of the vision... Hope had her arm around me there, and when I come out of the vision (standing in the room) she still had her arm around me. And I wasn't in no vision, no coma; I was standing like I am now. And she was patting me on this shoulder. God is my Judge.
And I said, "Hope, you're still here, aren't you?"
She said, "Billy, promise me you won't worry about me and Sharon."
I was just about to... I had a pistol in my hand a few minutes before that. I'd snapped it all the way around trying to commit suicide. The same day, I tried to lay my hand on a thirty-three thousand volt line when I was working as a electrician. (You know my story.) And the first thing I know, I was on the ground and setting there sweating, not knowing what had happened. That meant God reserving this ministry for you people; I'd have went right then.
And so, she had her arm around me. And I said, "Hope, you're still here." Dark in the room...
She said, "Promise me?"
I said, "I promise you, Hope."
And when she did, she left me. She patted me, kindy hugged me and left me.
I said, "You're still here, Hope, somewhere. Aren't you?"
And I felt around for her. I turned on the light, and I went to every chair and reached around.
I said, "Where are you, honey? Don't leave me; don't leave me."
Went around through the room, feeling for her like that. Just a boy, just been married a little bit, and Billy and Sharon had been born.

L-103 And I seen her. When I seen her this time, she looked the same way. And I was setting there on this place. And I said, "I don't understand this. Why did you put me up here?"
Said, "You was a leader. You were born a leader, to lead people."
And I said, "Oh, my." I said, "Well...
He said, "Well, this is perfection." Said, "This is like the patriarchs when they gathered with their people."
And I said, "Is this... I--I--I--I... This is after death?"
"Yes." And I turned and looked back. There I was still laying on the bed. He said, "This is after death."
And I said, "Oh, then I've died. Well, this is wonderful; this is good for me to be here. I like this."
And then this woman, real pretty girl that just put her arms around me like that. And said, "Just keep pressing on."
And I said, "Well, why... I can't understand it." I says, "Are all these Branham's?" Looked like millions of them. I said, "All these Branhams?"
That Voice said, "They are your converts."
I said, "Converts?"
Said, "You see that woman you're admiring." Said, "She was past ninety when you led her to Christ. Look at her now. No wonder she screamed, 'My precious brother.'"
I said, "Oh, if I could only go back. If I could only have a chance. I would grab them; I'd pull them; I'd persuade them. See? Don't let no one miss this. This is--this is perfection."
