<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 And you ought to see me when I really relax, beard about that long, and old flop-down hat. And why, I preached with a guy for two or three years, and I met him on a hunting trip. He said, "Sir, could you tell me where I could find Reverend Branham up here?"
I said, "I believe I could."
Here not long ago a great big Cadillac pulled up to the door, you know, and said... And I was whiskers, and dirty, and I was washing the windows outside. And the man said, "How do you do, sir." Said, "Could you tell me where Reverend Branham is now?"
I said, "That's his wife right there. You might ask her."
And she just liked to drop. She looked at me. She didn't know what to say. Said, he... She just happened to be...
He said, "Where's his next meeting?"
And she told him, and she walked away and said, "Oh, Bill."
And I said...

L-10 So his brother said... I was setting there, and the Holy Spirit said, "He's a married man, left his wife. He's got two children." I said that to him.
He looked over to Banks, as if to say Banks told me. See, that's his brother here.
I caught that right quick. Men just... They don't realize that. Why, of course, He reveals it. Set in rooms... Many times I've called people out that was critics. Sometimes... You don't want to do that, though. I did that one time, a minister, very critical. And I called him out, told him that, "Why'd you do this, and that, and something."
My, he lost half his congregation and everything else. So that--that isn't nice. You see, I just keep it to myself, let it go.
But however... Standing there I caught that, wasn't no harm in telling him, setting there with this man. I said, "All right, you might've thought Banks told me that. But what about night before last when you was with a woman had auburn hair? You was locked up in the room with her. And a man knocked on the door, and you didn't go. You looked out the window. It's a good thing. You'd of got your head shot off." That finished him. That's right. He knew then that wasn't... Banks didn't tell that.

L-11 Then his father come up, which was one of the readers. He was going to really straighten me out on the Scripture. Never said nothing to him. We was going on a fishing trip the next day. The Lord spoke to me, said, "Tell him all things that's going to happen, just exactly what will take place, how many fish will be caught, who will catch them and everything; come back."
I told him that. I seen him look over kind of funny at Banks, looked back, and thought, "Nonsense." But that day and that night everything happened just perfectly to the dot.
And when next day, come back, I said, "Well, Mr. Wood?"
He said, "Well," he talks kind of funny, he said, "any man can see fish before he catches them, and call their--call them out," he said, "I guess that's all right." And so now, he's saved and filled with the Holy Ghost.

L-12 One day we was setting... Lyle, his brother, and I was down there fishing a couple years ago, or three. And my little boy, before I left...
We don't like cats at our house. Now, if you have them, that's all right. I ain't speaking against your little kitty now, but I don't like the things. So... Or a house dog. I can't stand it. Give it a baby's love, and practice birth control, and give that love to a little, old, snotty-nosed dog. My. Why, it's a shame. Excuse that expression. That's... I don't... You know what I'm talking about though when I say it.
Then my little girl come up and said, "Oh, Daddy, something terrible has happened." Said, "Somebody threw a poor cat away," her and another little girl down the street, and said, "it's eat poison." Said, "Poor thing's going to die. Can't you... Can't you let it come in for awhile?"
I said, "Where's the cat at?" Went and got the cat, looked at it. I said, "Go get it a box," and of course, the next morning we had a bunch of kittens. And so...
