<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 Now, tonight I'd like to have all the peoples... Now, there'll just be a little bit to give out the prayer cards. The boys will be here to give to give out the prayer cards, and at six o'clock, be seated right here in these seats, right along in here. Then you get up here before you, mix up the cards, hand them out to you. Now, be sure at six o'clock. Now, if you don't come, then you can't... And you let the person come now... The one's that's been having the instructions of the meeting... Cards are in-exchangeable; don't take them out and give them to Jones, and he will never come. And as I...?... you take your card and set down; just wait there till the time comes to be called. And then be here at exactly six o'clock, 'cause I think they have other exercises here of... As I know most all churches do, like all of them, so they... We want you here early so we can get this off our hands, and then I'll be over then about seven thirty, quarter to eight, something like that I think it is (Isn't it, brother?) to pray for the sick.

L-9 And now, I would that you'd always leave these front seats to the sick, if I can get them up here. See, I get them right around me. Last night I had to take a little walk afterwards. The anointing dropped down after just digging into that message so hard. You see, the Spirit of the Lord, then It dropped down to give--giving the discernment and so forth. There was someone setting behind me here, a lovely brother; I turned around and saw something. Nodded my head to him, I met him out there in the room, and I trust to God it's all over now. And so, it just... You have to be careful.
People think this is very easy. This is the hardest thing you ever climbed into. I said things and go home and cry till my pillow-slip would be wet. I've had my wife, come put her arms around me, set in the middle of the floor crying, at nighttime. You--you have to do things you don't want to do. See, that's the Spirit doing that. You--you can't be nothing but what you really are. See? You have... If you don't follow the leading of your--your spirit, then you do something that you don't feel led to do then--then you're being a hypocrite. See? Be what you are; no matter what you are, be that (See?), just be that. And it makes it awfully hard.

L-10 And then sometime when the anointing drops down and you can look over and see things... Here the other day I was setting at a table with--with some ministers. Oh, I wish I hadn't set down there. I just--I just come out of a meeting; they wanted me to go to dinner with them. And there set that man, looked across the table and said to me a certain thing, and honest, I... I'd give today five hundred dollars if I could if I never went to that supper. See? 'Cause I've always had the highest respect for the man, and there what I seen. See? If you think this is easy, brother, you don't realize, you just don't realize what it is; it's killing. And just a little bit of it. You just talk to someone you know, about their--about their condition or something like that, it's just like...

L-11 You see, you don't realize, but you're the one that's bringing those visions. It's not me; it's you. I couldn't do it, I... It... I don't control it; it controls me. Now, just... Could I have about five minutes, extra? I think it would help our meeting. I'll tell you what (See?), we're coming into a healing service. Now, look, we're all little boys, and we're going down to the circus. Carnival come to town, and the circus, all of you... Well, it happens to be, I'm a great big skinny, tall fellow. And--and I'm walking along, and you're short... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] So we walk on, how we going to get in, it's behind a board fence? Well, it happens to be, I look up here and here's a knothole up here. Well now, I--I say--you say, "Hey, Brother Branham, what's going on in there?"
"Well, jump up and see."
"Oh, I'd never reach it."
