<TITLE>08. Par 20-22</TITLE>L-20 And he said, "Then I--I went from there down to the--from there," he said, "I--I went to the 'Voice of Healing.'" And said, "When I got to the 'Voice of Healing,'" said, "I got with all those brethren there," and said, "they told me that I had crossed over the separating line in my life, that there was no place for me. Said, 'The only one straighten you out," said, "go see Brother Branham; he's a prophet.'" Now, that's wrong, but... "He said, 'He--he's a prophet; he will be able to look down and see where you crossed the line and maybe you go back and do something. There's something that you haven't done or--you better go see him.'" He said, "Brother Branham, here I am."
And I said, "Well, brother," I said, "I'm not a prophet." I said, "But the Lord lets me discern things to help out the people, a little humble gift." I said, "But I--I don't call myself a prophet." I said, "But--but you don't need a prophet for that. You just need to get straightened out; that's all. You don't...

L-21 I said, "I want to ask you something." I said, "What Billy Graham told you was the truth." And I said, "And what the Methodists told you was the truth. And what the Pentecostals told you was the truth. But it wasn't all the truth." See? I said, "It was truth but not all of it." I said, "I believe in accepting Christ as personal Saviour; I believe that. I believe in sanctification, and--and cleaning up a life, and getting happy and shouting; I believe that. I believe in speaking in tongues and the baptism of the Spirit, and I believe in all that." But I said, "That's not exactly what we're talking about."

L-22 I said, "I want to ask you something." I said, "Now, remember, you said for forty years of your life you did not do anything."
He said, "Brother Branham, I've sold every car I've got and give it to preachers and evangelists. I've done everything that I know how to do, make reconciliations for what I've done in my life."
I said, "That wasn't necessary; you didn't have to do that." See? I said, "God never required you to do that." I said, "You can't pay your way in. That's not the idea." But I said, "His grace is taking you in."
He said, "Well, what must I do?"
I said, "Not a thing, nothing you can do." I said, "You told me for the first forty years of your life, that you didn't care about God. But you picked up a little piece of paper that said, 'Where will you spend eternity?' And Something said, 'That's got to be settled.' You couldn't get over it. Now, you were going down a road this a way, and all at once you started back this way. You didn't care for God; you started back hunting for Him." I said, "Right there where you made your turn, that's exactly what changed you, right there."
He said, "Then I've had it all the time."
I said, "Certainly."
He said, "Well, praise be to God." (See?)
