<TITLE>24. Par 84-84</TITLE>L-84 Just a little story to my Indian brethren, and all. I like to hunt. Oh, I just love to hunt. My, my, that's--that's my second nature. My conversion never took that out of me. And I--I'd like to tell you a little story about hunting right here--where God told me exactly (your pastor, Brother Byskal remembers it, Brother Sothmann, back there), where He told me exactly what I was going to do, where I'd go, a caribou I'd get, where he'd be laying, a man would have a green checkered shirt on; and would kill a grizzly bear 'fore I got back. Is that right? Is that right, Brother Sothmann? Hundreds of people I told.
Went right there, and Eddy heard me tell it the day before we left down there. Two days later he stood right there and seen every bit of it come just to pass as I told. I said the horns would be exactly forty-two inches high.
And the guide said, "Forty-two exactly?" Said, "Brother Branham, after..." He said, "Where's that grizzly bear up on top of this mountain?" Said, "Brother Branham, according to what you told me, that you're going to kill a grizzly bear before you get back to where Eddie Byskal is standing with a green checkered shirt on." And his wife had put it in his camp bag, and he told me he didn't even have one.
I said, "Well, then, there's going to be somebody's going to have it, 'cause it's going to be there." And he had that green checkered shirt on.
Said, "Before we get back there?"
"I said that."
He said, "Brother Branham, I had a brother had epilepsy. And you told me when he had this fit again to jerk his shirt off and throw it in the fire, and he wouldn't have any more." Well, he did, and God healed him of it. Now, he said, "Then I can't disbelieve it. But where's that bear going to be?"
I said, "He's Jehovah-jireh. He can provide Himself a bear to make His Word come to pass." And when we was just about half a mile from them (being about three miles from them), when we was about a half-a-mile from them, I was standing.
He said, "Brother Branham, we've just got a half-a-mile further. Where's the bear?"
I said, "Don't you..." I said, "What's that, Bud?" There was a nine foot, silver-tipped grizzly standing up on top of the hill, looking right at me.
He said... we got within five hundred yards. He said, "Brother Branham, did you ever shoot a grizzly?"
I said, "I've shot many bear." He said, "You better shoot him from here."
I said, "No. The vision said I was right up on him."
He said, "Oh, Brother Branham." He said, "Shoot him in the back now," said, "'cause if you don't shoot him in the back, they're great fighters."
I said, "I know. But this one in the vision I shot in the heart."
He said, "Oh."
And I said, "Just keep going, Bud."
