<TITLE>11. Par -</TITLE>L-527-105 And then one day coming down a railroad track, I was walking down the railroad track this side of Scottsburg, coming down the railroad track, patrolling. The winds blowing hard, oh, my, and ice all over the track, and I crossed over so I could walk down my thirty-three thousand; sixty-six went up the other way, kind of went parallel to the track. And I was coming down the track, and all of a sudden... I was walking along there; I was singing. I always sang. I had different places where I went to pray. I was going along there, singing, and all at once I come to find out I was speaking in tongues (See?), not knowing what I was doing.
Speaking in tongues comes in such a combustion that the person hardly knows what they're doing. Or, they don't know what they're saying. And interpretation's the same way. They know not what they're going to say. They have no more idea they're going to say it, because it's supernatural. See, as long as you get the natural in it, then you don't--you--you--you got natural. You see? But if something just grabs you and takes ahold of you, and you're doing it... See?

L-527-107 [Brother Neville says, "Brother Branham, could I say something right here?"--Ed.] Sure, you can, Brother Neville ["Now, you saying it that way, you're not intending to say, though, that--that tongues would have to be in order in service if a man couldn't control it? Because he is... A man that has a gift is supposed to be in control of it."--Ed.] He can control himself. Yes. Just like... ["Supposed to be conscious enough to know that he is about to speak in tongues,"--Ed.] yeah, that's right ["or he is out of order to start with."--Ed.] That's right, he feels it. See? Now, like the Bible said, "If--if there be one who speaks in tongues and there be no interpreter, then let him hold his peace." Now, of course...

L-528-108 Say, for instance, I'm standing here, anybody, when you're fixing to shout, same thing. Did you ever feel the power of God come on you when you start to shout? How many ever did that? Well, all of us have. See? You just set there; you feel it coming. Now, there's times when you can quench that. See? You can hold it (See?); it's not right.
What if you was standing, talking to the--the President of the United States, or you was standing out here talking to the mayor of the city, and you was talking about something another, right out on the street here, you're talking to a bunch of people, and all at once you just feel like you could jump up-and-down, and scream and holler "Glory, hallelujah." and kick against everything and run up and down the street like that. They'd say you was crazy. See? They'd say, "That man's crazy." See?

L-528-110 Well, see, you know better than to do then. You hold, although it's just digging down in you; you just can't hardly hold it. You say, "Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah, Yes, sir. Uh-huh." Boy, she's just digging you to pieces, but you know to hold your peace right then. See?
Like in a courthouse here not long ago, they had some Pentecostals up for--for doing something another, screaming too loud or something, which it was... They was absolutely legitimate (You see?); it's right. But every time the judge would go to speak or go to say something to them, they'd talk in tongues. See? The judge said, "Take them crazy people away from here." See?
