<TITLE>07. Par 18-19</TITLE>L-18 And said that, "Well she was in that little church about a year." And said, "They had a convention up in Tennessee." So I suppose it was the Church of God of Prophecy; that's where they-they have their conventions up there. And so he said, that "She went up there." And said, "I was making a sale, a car, in a--out in the--the lot," and said, "to some ladies." And said, "I'd put on my coat, summertime." Said, "Walk out before them to make my sale." And said, "When I come back, I happened to think, did I give that woman that second set of keys? And I run my hand down in my pocket," and said, "I had a little square tag in there had a question mark and on the back of it said, 'Where will you spend eternity?'" Well, he said, "I looked and I thought, 'Well I wonder who put that in my pocket?' And just throwed it over in the trash basket." And said, "Something said to me, 'But that's got to be settled.'" Said, "I reached down and picked it up again," and said, "I got to shaking, and I thought, 'That's right. I'm past forty years old. So I ought to be finding out where I'm going to spend it.'" And said--said, "Oh, now looky here, you're just getting all messed up." So he throwed it down again, tried to turn around, turned the fan on, and so forth. And said... He looked back to that again. It just kept ringing in his heart. "Where will you spend eternity?" He picked it up the third time. And said it got him so nervous till he just couldn't even--he went home.

L-19 Said he heard that the famous evangelist Billy Graham was just one state over from him, holding a meeting. Said he went over to that meeting, thought he'd talk it over with Mr. Graham. And said, "Mr. Graham said a notable message that night." And he said, 'All that wants to see--receive Jesus Christ, stand up and raise up your hand.'" Said, "I stood up and raised up my hand." Said, "They took me in the room and told me, 'Did I believe that He was the Son of God?' And I said, 'Yes, I do.' And they told me, upon my faith, that made me a Christian, and said, 'It's all over now.'"
He said, "Brother Branham, but it wasn't all over." He said, "I went out and then I went to another place, and the people was called the Free Methodists." And said, "They told me I had to get sanctified, and get happy and shout, and then it would be all over." And said, "They stayed with me." And said, "I got happy, sanctified, and shouted and it was..." But said, "They told me, 'It's all over.'" But said, "It wasn't."
And said, "Then I went to a famous Pentecostal brother who crosses the nation back and forth, one of the largest Pentecostal group." And said, "He said, 'Have you ever spoke in tongues?' No. Said, 'Then you haven't received the Holy Ghost.' Said, 'Then go back in the other tent and receive the Holy Ghost.'" Said, "They were very nice to me, worked with me and everything." And said, "I stayed in there, and there was some of them stayed with me, way in the night." Said, "Finally, the power fell on me, and I spoke in tongues." And said, "And I come out," said, "The evangelist, I went to see him the next day, he said, 'It's all over.'" And said, "Brother Branham, it wasn't all over."
