<TITLE>12. Par -</TITLE>L-18-4 But reasoning. When the Lord gives a vision... I'll just tell you my own little infant way. The Lord gives a vision of something's going to happen. Why, I don't care what's contrary to it. And remember, everything that can be presented contrary, Satan will do it. He'll try to reason, "You can't do it."
For instance, that what I just quoted a few moments ago about going... Now, this was kind of off the beaten path, just before my mother went. And the Lord knew I wasn't going to be able to keep those appointments with those brethren, about going hunting, and gave a vision, and sent me all the way into British Columbia. And when we got there, the guide said, "I've never seen a silver-tip, and I've lived here all my life. And besides, we're going plumb up into sheep country on horses. There's no silver-tips; there's no... You ain't going to get it up there!" See, see? Trying (See?), trying to move away--reason.
Satan said to me, "There'll be... You just--you just misunderstood the vision."
"But I didn't! It's going to be THUS SAITH THE LORD!"

L-19-2 And when the caribou came up and we got that (which was in the vision as you all know), then he said--the guide said to me (a very fine brother--to be with him now in a few weeks--young Christian), he said, "Brother Branham, my brother had the epilepsy, and you rode up on that horse that day, and told me a certain thing to do, and my brother's epilepsy would cease." He said, "When I did exactly what the Holy Spirit told you to tell me," said, "he's never had a spell from that day." He said, "Now, here we are on top of this mountain, and for three miles right down, there's not even a bush four inches high, nothing but caribou moss, a few blueberries, and they only get two or three inches high." He said, "Caribou moss and blueberries, plumb to the timberline, and our horses are hitched in the timberline. And now, according to what you told me, before we come here, that somewhere between here and where that boy's standing with that checked shirt on, you're going to kill a nine foot silver-tip grizzly bear."
I said, "That's THUS SAITH THE LORD!"
See? What was it? Satan trying to get me to disbelieve that.

L-19-4 We started down the mountain; closer we got, he kept saying, "Brother Branham, we're only about a mile from it now."
I said, "Are you doubting, Bud?"
"Not at all."
We got within about a half a mile. He said, "We're only a half a mile now."
I said, "That's right."
He said, "Just think, in a half a mile..." Casting down reasoning... He said, "Look, we can see everything right before us; there's nothing out there."
But I said, "The God, Who gave me the Word, can create one there. Don't reason, just believe it! Don't pay any attention to reasons; that has nothing to do with it. Just believe what He said; that's all."
And I was standing there, looked up on the hills everywhere, just yellow caribou moss, sun going down, hills beautiful; you could see any little spot anywhere for three miles up the mountain right above me. And when I turned to look, about two miles ahead of me--or a mile and a half or two mile stood a nine foot silver-tip grizzly. How he got there, I don't know; but he was there. See? Don't reason; believe. No matter what the circumstances, don't pay no attention to circumstances, believe!
