<TITLE>09. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 Then--then the next day he will go, and he will say to the friends was with him, some of you minister brothers, "Wasn't that strange?" See? Now, if it's only his faith that's done something, he knows his faith has touched God. But now, what has God said to him? He hasn't waited long enough to find out. See? He rushed right on off the platform.
Now, he will be going around the next day saying, "You know what?" And something hit him, and say, "What?" (Bang, bang--twelve o'clock). Say, "What?" See? Oh, then nothing can ever make him doubt it. He's... It's just anchored right there. See?

L-44 Here... just, Brother Evans here, setting right here... Now, we realize that we're not to use God's gifts as ouija boards. We realize that. We can't play with God's gifts. He wouldn't give them to anybody would do that. That's right. This man had come up to visit me, he and his wife and his children. And there's just much could be said about many of these things, but here's what happened, so a little testimony. He had a new car, all their clothes and things in it. He stopped at the Miller's Cafeteria in Louisville. And in Kentucky, you can sell a car as long as you've just got a... you... They make you a title for it. See? And they had a ring of thieves there that was stealing cars, running them in and spraying them over, making them a title, and selling it. Oh, they just... It was terrible.

L-45 Mr. Evans, coming for hundreds of miles (about seven hundred and fifty miles from Georgia) up there, just drove in, turned off the key, and went in to eat. Come back out--car, clothes, recorder, everything he had was tore up, gone, didn't know where it was at. So there he was, hundreds of miles from home, no money, no clothes, no nothing, and a new car gone.
Well, they got with Brother Sothmann, and I believe Brother Simpson, and some of the brethren there. So finally they said, "Let us consult the Lord." So they said, "Let's go up and have Brother Branham to ask." So they come to the house. And that's what private interviews does. See? We stay before the Lord until something happens. It ain't like meeting them on the platform. It's when you stay there and just wait. People setting there from overseas and around the world, waiting... Some three hundred appointments waiting now (See?), from everywhere to find out about these things.

L-46 And so, then Brother Evans, and Brother Fred, and many of them come up to the house there, four or five brethren. Brother Willie, I don't know whether you was with them that morning or not. I know Brother Fred was, and I can't remember just how many there was. And we got down before the Lord to pray.
Now, these are all ministers, I trust. All of you are believers. See, you've got to find the condition. You've got to find the cause before you can find a cure, always. See? A doctor, if you go into his office and say, "Doctor, I'm suffering, I'm--at my stomach, got a headache," he gives you some aspirin, and sends you out, he's trying to get rid of you. See? A real doctor will diagnose that case till he finds the cause. And that's what it is running through a prayer line, laying hands on people, saying, "Glory to God. Hallelujah. Believe it. Glory to God. Shake..." See? Let's find the cause first. See?
