<TITLE>02. Par 3-6</TITLE>L-3 And he said to me, he got down on his knees back there, after I prayed for him, put his arm around me, said, "I've got a message for you."
"What?"
Said, "Stop preaching too hard and too long." He said, "You're going to go right the same way I went." I almost did it one time anyhow. Said, "Brother Branham," said, "in them visions and things, I see the way it works on you." Said, "I just kept going on," said, "I had one break." Then he started overseas, had another one. And there he's... If God doesn't touch him, he's just finished for life. So he said, "You can't get no more done." Said, "There'll be some will say, 'This, that, or this or that, or so forth.'" But said, "That won't make it any better." Said, "As long you let the--do your ministry, show the people that God sent you," said, "then that settles it, just let it go at that." Said, "If--if they won't," said, "if they don't..." Said... He made me promise in there with my hands in his, said, "Don't do it no more Brother Branham. Remember, I'm warned of the Lord to tell you, you're going to shift the same row that I am (See?), if you do that any more, start doing it."
And I said, "Okay, brother." Don't tell my wife that. She--she's got Billy and them staged around everywhere, and Leo and Gene, and all of them, if they see me the least bit wearying, well, then they're supposed to take me from the platform whether I want to go or not. And she knowed I'd stagger around over the platform like that, why, she'd be crying, going on. So we... You just can do so much, you know, and you can't do no more; that's all.

L-4 I remember one time Paul Rader... How many ever knowed him? Sure, Paul Rader was a great man of God. Told a little story one time, said he was going on a train, and said he was with another man, and said this man tried to get back at him 'cause he slept in a pullman that night. Said at the breakfast next morning, a group of ministers was going somewhere for a convention. So this man set right next to Paul and said, "Well, praise God," he said. "I set in a chair car last night," and said, "I saved the Lord some money."
Paul said, "Praise God, I took a pullman and saved the Lord's man." So now, which one's He more--more interested in, His money or His man? His man, always. We're so glad for it.

L-5 And now, I had a glorious time last night, I thought, myself. And just as I was leaving, the--the pull of the people, of the Holy Spirit, He dropped right down among the people and begin to give discernment right in the meeting. How glorious that was. See, and to me, that makes everybody at the meeting prayed for. See, see? Now, I said, "How many here..." Now, God promised He would do that. Now, that's His Word, isn't it? Now, God keeps His Word, doesn't He? Then I said, "Now, how many here that's believers, put up your hands." Everybody put up their hands. I said, "Now, lay your hands on one another. Now, the Bible said, 'These signs shall follow them that believe.'" Then we prayed for everyone as a united hand together for the Kingdom of God. Oh, my, to me, that's just perfect. See?

L-6 I was at a filling station today getting some gasoline, over here somewhere, and a little fellow come out, looked at me, said, "You're Brother Branham."
I said, "Yes." It was about a mile over here, something.
And he said--said, "I'm Brother Roberts," and he said, "my mother was definitely healed with heart trouble since you've been down there at the Assemblies of God church." Said, "She's took a bad cold," and said, "she hasn't had one speck of heart trouble since she was called out, ever what it was (See?), not one." And said, "She's got a bad cold," and said, "if she knows that I met you down here and she knows you're praying for her," said, "she'll be on over at the meeting tonight."
Said, "She want to try to get down for Sunday night if she possibly could." She probably belongs to another church, but she was healed here. So we're glad of that.
