<TITLE>04. Par -</TITLE>L-6-1 Here was the interpretation: see, they... We have been anticipating overseas. Brother Minor Arganbright, a bosom friend of mine, was going to pay my wife and I's expenses to tour Palestine. And we were going to go into Switzerland and on down into Africa and a--on a campaign in June. And my wife, and Rebekah, and them was certainly thrilled to know they'd get to go through Germany, and England, France, and Palestine. They was to wait there till I made the African campaign and pick them up on the road back. And they were all under great anticipation.
You've heard me say, "If the Lord is willing (always) if the Lord is willing, I aim to take that campaign overseas. I don't know exactly yet." So I was waiting on it.
But here's what it was: this Mr. Smith, George Smith (that was my first trainer in there and was more than a match for any of the young people that was in the land today in his fighting), was my first training in the prayer line. See? Many times I bring the people up, there's visions--wait, have this one, vision; that one, vision. It never did work just good.

L-6-3 Now, when--when I first started out, I never let a person--'less I found something in the line that wasn't just exactly right, and He stopped me Hisself (See?) and told me about it. I'd go ahead and pray for the people, and my, the--the results was a hundred times, 'cause we got to... I'd pray for four or five hundred in one night; this way, maybe twenty-five or thirty, maybe not that many. Maybe ten or fifteen visions and I'm--you have to pack me out nearly. Going back to that same thing again (See?), back to my first training. After all, there's nothing on the field ever stood with it or can (See?), 'cause It's the Word. It ain't some denomination; It's the Word. See?

L-6-4 And then... There, then you notice the next part: after that Meda went away from the dream. When I come to the sea, that was going overseas.
Now, Brother Arganbright called me the other night, all thrilled, and said, "Brother Branham, it'll be one big vacation. Brother Shakarian has had a heart attack, so the overseas meetings are canceled out." And they--the Switzerland meeting, he wanted me to go over there just for one night; and was to have that one night's meeting, and then the rest of it was all going to be vacation, just rambling around over the country, what--now, which was very nice. Brother Arganbright's, oh, just tops of a Christian, and a bosom friend to me and my family.

L-7-1 And--but you see, the little, white, plastic canoe, that he wanted me to go in, was the Word of God; and there's not enough preaching in it to call me across the sea. I said, "Huh-uh, not that. Just for that? Huh-uh."
He said, "Then go--like go with them, like they'd go."
I said, "They're not boatman: preachers. I am a minister. If they went, it would be vacation altogether, with their camping rigging in it." But I wouldn't do it; I turned it down. So there was the interpretation of--of the dream. See?
And then, Mr. Arganbright called me a few nights ago and told me that--that the--the... Of course we heard that the overseas meetings had been canceled on the account of Brother Shakarian. And then, there is no... There... The one in Switzerland I only had one night, and I had... Meda had to tell me first that she didn't want to go, so I called her from Florida the other night, or Georgia. And I told her; I said, "Brother Arganbright has called and said we have to leave on the twentieth of May."
She said, "That's out. That's out. (See?) The children's just taking their examination then. Can't go." See? She had to turn it down herself, 'cause she was the one included; it was her vacation. And there it was. Even dreams, everything is for a meaning. Everything's got something somewhere. So dreams have interpretations.
