<TITLE>12. Par 81-86</TITLE>L-81 And they told me, he said, "In the day of modern science, when we have got all kinds of medical research, when we've got the best doctors, when the church has long forgot Divine healing and stuff from many, many years ago, how are you going before a great giant like that? How are you going to walk out in the face of the Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, and so forth, and even the Pentecostals, who has forgot it a long time ago, and went into their creeds? How are you going to face, with no denomination or nothing else to back you up? What are you going to do, Bill?" Somehow another, it didn't faze me one bit, for I held in my hand a key. I said... They said, "Nobody will believe you. You won't be able to do it. Nobody will believe you."
I said, "I don't care. There's one thing sure; God called me, and I must go because God called me." I held the key. He had called me. He had showed me. He had told me, and I saw His Presence when He commissioned me, and the key was there.
The pastor said, "With a seventh-grade education and you're going to preach and pray before kings and monarchs?"
I said, "That's according to His Word."

L-84 About this time last year, or a week or two before, when I'd come to the church here and told you that the Lord God had given me a vision of go--taking a hunting trip, and a--a certain animal I was going to find, that was going to have forty-two inch horns on it. And on the road back from getting this animal (where it would be laying, and the position it would be in), on the road back I was going to kill a silver-tip grizzly bear. And I went to this certain section, and I spoke to the man, and he said, "I don't know of any animal that looks like that. And as far as a grizzly bear, I've never seen one."
I said, "But somewhere it's got to be here."
So he said, "We're not even going into bear country. We're going up for sheep, way up above timberline." Well, I went with him.

L-86 And the second day out in the very spot, exactly where the Lord said, there laid the animal. So when I went and got the animal, and while we were taking the skins and the horns and so forth, off, he said, "I want to ask you something. You told me, three days ago when we left the--the camp, that after you had shot this certain beast, that on the road back you was going to kill a silver-tip grizzly bear."
I said, "That's THUS SAITH THE LORD."
Said, "I'm not doubting," he said, "because my brother was an epileptic, and you'd never seen him in your life, when you was up here one time, and you told me that boy was going to be healed when I done a certain thing. And he was." He said, "Now, but, Brother Branham, I want to ask you," he said, "I can see all the way down that mountain to where the timberline is, them horses are standing. And there's nothing there. There isn't a speck of grass; there isn't a rock; there isn't nothing. Caribou moss, which is about two inches high, on above timberlines, for a mile or more above the timberline." Said, "Where is the bear going to be?"
I said, "God is Jehovah-jireh. If He's told me there will be a bear there, there'll be one there."
