<TITLE>22. Par 73-73</TITLE>L-73 Like Paul Rader said when he left his home one day. He said him and his wife was having a little fuss at the table. You all remember the late Paul Rader that died down here in California? The graveyard of preachers, Los Angeles, all go in there and die... So then...
When they come to the place there, when he left--said he left his wife, and they was having a little spat. And said usually at the door he'd--she'd, kiss her good bye, go on out the gate, and then they'd wave good bye. Said that morning, he went to the door, and she kinda had her head down. Said he kissed her good bye, and went out the gate, waved back good bye.
He started down the street, and he happened to think, "What if she'd die? What if something would happen to me? She's the dearest woman on earth; how I love her. I remember when I promised her at the altar I'd live true to her. All these things here, I'd always love, honor and cherish. Oh," he said, "God begin to deal with my heart. Back I went, through the gate, into the door, opened up the door and said, 'Faye, where you at?'" Said, "Here she was... [Brother Branham sniffs--Ed.] (You know how a woman can do. You know.), stand behind the door and kinda crying."
Said he looked over at her like that, pulled up her chin, and give her a great big kiss on the lips, turned around, said, "Bye."
Said, "Bye."
Said he run out the gate, looked around again, and said he looked back; she's standing at the door. And he said, "Bye."
She said, "Bye." Said, "She said it just like she did the first time, but the last time had a feeling in it." So that's just why I like a handshake, one's got a feeling in it.
That's the way I like religion (Amen.): one's got a feeling in it, that you've passed from death unto Life, and the Holy Ghost has witnessed it to you, that you are sons and daughters of God. Something with a feeling in it, something that makes you know that its real. You've passed from death unto life.
Here some time ago down in Florida, I went down there to visit this little boy, called a little David. Say, I believe I see Brother what-his-name back there, Morris, from down at the Tabernacle, is that right? You remember the night our Tabernacle was too little, and we had to go over, our auditorium, and swap with little David? Little David got a big auditorium, and we had too many for our auditorium, so we just swapped. And he come over there, and a--we went, took his.
I said, "David, let me pay you for that, or, Mr. Walker, his father."
Said, "Never mind, never mind, that's all right, Brother Branham. Go on."
And little David got down at Florida. And course the... That's one thing about the Pentecostal people, they--the ox, you know, is just stalled; the master know the... "The ass knows the crib, but my people doth not know."
When they had that little David, that would've won thousands of souls, but he come from another organization. So the other organization had to have a little David, another organization, another organization; all of them got little Davids. As soon as God give a gift of healing, the other one had to have it; this denomination had to have it, and that one had to have it; and that... Oh, my. They just don't understand; that's all.
