<TITLE>08. Par 27-29</TITLE>L-27 And just then, Dr. Bosworth come up and said, "You'll have to leave, sir. You'll cause a riot. See?" Said, "His time is valuable now while the anointing's on our brother." Said... Usually coming to the meetings, to make it better effective, Mr. Baxter and Mr. Bosworth and them, the managers, they do the speaking, I just come right straight to the platform, call the prayer line, and then after it's over leave. And... But now, of course I'm just alone here with just the boys, and so I have to try to stumble around over the speaking myself.
So then, when the--the doctor... And he started to take him away. And he said, and he said, "Just a moment." He said, "Mr. Branham, do you mean to tell me that God, the great Creator, is somewhere between here and there?"
I said, "He's everywhere."
And he said, "I... Well, there's is got to be some tangible force to straighten that boys eyes."
And I said, "It was God."
And they started to take him off. Then Mr. Baxter walked up to him.
He said, "Just a minute." He got to the--up to the microphone he said, "I too will receive Jesus Christ as my personal Saviour."

L-28 And when I was leaving in Johannesburg... This is the truth, God in heaven knows. And when I was leaving Johannesburg, he jumped the fence, where they'd had him back there, run out there and throwed his arms around me, when I come out from amongst the people, and the guards, getting out to the Pan American Airlines. When I went out there, they... He run out there and threw his arms around me and said, "The Lord has called me to the ministry." Hadn't got... Went to speaking in tongues with his arms around my neck, like that.
So a British doctor... So now, I heard from him. Here about two or three years ago, about two years ago. It's been about five years ago. He's having a great ministry up there helping the really the sick and afflicted up in Africa.
So when the people waving, "Good-bye, come back again," that just makes your heart feel real good. And it's something you know that you feel that you've accomplished something.
And these disciples must have felt that way when they was all waving farewell, "We will see you again, and come back over to our country again, and--and speak to us again."
And as the sun was sinking low, and the little ship making it's way, and each one of the fishermen, and the boatmen pulling the big oars, as they...

L-29 The ships in them days, they had, had oars. Two be, one on this side of the seat, and one on that side. And they would set with great oars and just keep time as they--they oared the ship. And it's making its way out through the still waters.
And finally, they got plumb out of hearing distance of the people standing on the bank waving. And they must've pulled on maybe for another fifteen, twenty, or thirty minutes.
And I don't know. It must've been young John. He was the younger of the bunch, and a man that was aboard that night of the ship. He must've stopped to catch his breath, 'cause they'd been pulling very hard. They had to cross the sea that night or the little lake.
And he stopped, maybe, and brushed the hair back out of eyes and said, "Whew..." As they got their breath. And said, "Brethren," no one had said nothing for quite some time. Said, "I... One thing today, we can all rest assured that we're not following a deceiver, as people thinks He is."
