<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 And so we seen that Jesus never give him any lectures, or tell him how to tell John to do it. He just said, "Stay till the meetings over and see what happens." And after the meeting was over, He said, "Now, go show these things to John. The lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear, so forth; and the poor has the gospel preached. And blessed is he who is not offended in Me." Then I begin talking about an offense.
And then I was... I referred to a little child that was from Zion, Illinois, up here. And if I'm not mistaken, somebody told me, or said they thought they were, that that child was in the building tonight. Is that right? Is the mother here with that child from Zion City, Illinois, that had the crippled leg, twisted up under it, and is now walking? She was either to be here tonight or tomorrow.
That's the mother. God bless you, sister. Was you here last night? All right. It's all right. I didn't--I didn't--I... You understood what I mean. You wasn't bringing offense, but you was just... You just wondered what was going to happen to that child. Is that right? All right. The Lord did just what He said He would though, didn't He? That's wonderful. Thank the Lord for that. Have you got the baby with you? It isn't here.

L-9 Well that a... the little mother went out. She had her faith all built. Oh, my, just as soon as I laid hands on the baby, it was going to happen right there. But you see, that really, sometimes... If we--if that's true faith, there isn't nothing going to stop it. So out at the trailer, the little mother brought the baby next day; and she was kind of wondering, her and her little husband, and wanted to know why the baby's leg didn't come down.
Well, I never said nothing, and I thought, "She believes that. And the girl really believes it, so it--it's got to happen, as long..."
When she went out, she said something back to me, "Do you think, Brother Branham, it's the will of God for my baby to be a cripple?"
And I said, "No, sir, it isn't."
That was just what she was waiting for. See? So He honored it and healed the baby.

L-10 And coming in just a few moments ago... I may be mistaken in this testimony, but there is--if the woman is here... I thought I seen the car out there and the trailer. There was a lady came to my church recently, about, oh, it hasn't been over a year or two ago. That lady was way out, like this, with a tumor. Oh, you never seen such a tumor. The doctors couldn't even touch it; it was such a horrible condition, and so bad that she couldn't even walk. They had to pack her.
Well, she heard I was going to be at the church that night. You know how it is at that little Tabernacle there, so after service was over I did not pray for the sick. I just offered prayer, and--and I guess she was... kind of had an offense too. But however, one of the faithful deacons and some of them, they knew when I went out through the study room, or the deacon's office, at the back. They packed this poor woman around there, great big woman, and that big tumor, oh, horrible. And they laid her down there at the step, where when I come out I'd either have to step over her or something.
