<TITLE>04. Par 33-43</TITLE>L-33 And them millions of voices screamed out, "We're resting on That."

L-34   Then a strange thing happened. I used to have a little, saddle horse, and I--I called him Prince. And how I loved that little old horse. I used to ride him every morning, 'fore school, run my traps. And I seen this little old horse come up to me, and lay his head across my shoulder, and nicker. And I patted him. I said, "Prince, I knew you'd be here." And I felt something lick my hand. It was my old coon dog. He put me in school, furnished my clothes, hunting. I said, "Prince, or Fritz, I knowed you'd be here too."
Then I felt something happen. I was going back.

L-35   That was wrote in the Christian Business Men's Voice. And a minister wrote me the other day. He said, "I appreciated that vision, Brother Branham. It sounded all very good till you mentioned horses. Heaven is made for human beings. There's no such a thing as horses in Heaven."

L-36 Well, I said, I answered him back. I said, "Brother, I never said I was in Heaven. I was asking where Jesus was, and He was still beyond." I said, "But if it might help you a little, the book of Revelation, it says, 'When Jesus left the Heavens of heavens, He was riding a white horse.' And all the host of Heaven was following Him, on white horses. See? So that was coming from Heaven of heavens."

L-37   And what made me feel so good, when I started to go back, He said, "All that you ever loved, and all that ever loved you, God has given to you."

L-38 Some bright day, on the other side, it'll be different. I just can't... You just can't afford, people, to miss that place. Don't do it. Whatever you do, make... Don't be afraid. There's no need of being scared. There's nothing to be afraid of.

L-39 Oh, when I thought to come back, it made me sad. "Will I have to go back again? Will I have to go back, to what I was afraid of being?" See? And then when we come to the resurrected body, then we will eat and drink. They didn't eat and drink. They had no need of eating and drinking. They wasn't going nowhere, and they wasn't tired. It was just... There's no word that I could use. It was perfect; that wouldn't make it. It's beyond what I call perfect. They--they had just arrived, that was it, at--at that place, and it was wonderful.

L-40   So, oh, listen, friends. I--I think I'm in my right mind, and I--I--I know it sounds strange. But I've never been able, and never tried, to explain to people these things. Many things that's... It's beyond explaining. And you'd only confuse the people's mind. But if I could, and felt to do so, it would be alarming.

L-41 But notice this. I say this. Don't be afraid. Death is just a scarecrow, trying to keep you away from something. My, it's so glorious! It's beyond anything that you could think of. No wonder the Bible said, "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered the hearts of men what God has for them in store that love Him." Oh, just to look past the curtain of time! Then, I've tried harder than ever before in life, to try to win people to Christ, since then. You can't afford to miss it. Don't do it. Be sure that you're right with God, and other things will be all right.

L-42   Now, I just got a few notes wrote down here, I thought I would speak a little bit tonight from. And I think tomorrow night we're way up in, about twenty miles from here, or more. Mesa, I believe it is. Mesa. Is that Mesa? Mesa. And then the next night at Tempe, Tempe. And I've got the schedule in my pocket here, out of the paper Brother Williams gave me. But, I been pretty busy, I just haven't looked it over yet. Billy just comes and gets me, and said, "We're going so-and-so and so-and-so, and here we go." Then I get over here, and he tries to choke me. [Congregation laughs--Ed.]

L-43   Now, is everybody feeling real religious? Say, "Amen," if you are. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Real good. That's fine. Now, let us just bow our heads now.
