<TITLE>09. Par 96-107</TITLE>L-96 And that's just about like Satan, to do that, see, right when you're having a testimony meeting or something. Many times I...

L-97 Here not long ago, I was in a meeting, just getting ready to make an altar call. And an old fellow pitched right over in the floor, dead as he could be, see, in a heart attack. And all the place was disturbed. And I forget... It was at Shawano, Wisconsin. I thought, "God, what can I do?" I looked over here, and I seen the old man in a vision, walking out the door. I know what to do then.

L-98   Not long ago, with this great sponsor of Oral Roberts, doctor up there in Philadelphia, what is that? He's a... Forget his name now. He's a dentist. He's a great sponsor of his television program. I can't think of his name. And we... [Someone says, "Barton."--Ed.] Barton. We were having a meeting, and I was just getting ready to make the altar call. And I noticed a woman acted real funny, and her daughter run over there, begin to rub her face. I thought, "Well, she is subject to fainting." And all at once, her feet went right out straight, and her hands went back like this.

L-99 Dr. Barton run over to where she was, took her pulse. She had none. He looked up at me, shook his head. Well, I tried to keep the people's mind... They was setting out, a great crowd. Keep it off of it, like that, just going ahead, talking. And so he said, "Go get little Branham." That was Billy. And Billy seen that dead woman. He had nothing to do with that. See? He didn't want that. Well, just as I started to speak again... Now, Dr. Barton, as you know him, you might ask him.

L-100   Started to speak again, I said, "Now, everyone, do not be excited. Keep quiet." Sometime when you see a demon try to come out of a person, they get so irreverent, the crowd gets tore up. That's the wrong thing to do. "Set still. Don't get excited. He is here."

L-101 And while I was speaking like that, I don't know how it ever happened, but turned over to her and called her name. "Mary, looky here." And when she did, she come to herself, come to.

L-102 See, it's that troubled time. Suddenly there rises trouble, right in the time.

L-103   Now, now, you might ask Dr. Barton about that. I met him the next day, and he said, "Brother Branham," said, "that woman had no heart. I taken it down here on her--her bosom. I take her heart in her neck, everywhere." Said, "She was gone." And, then, they was a real wealthy family, and it was the first time she was ever in a meeting like that. And she...

L-104 I went, he taken me up to her house, and she said, "I heard you call my name." And I never seen the woman in my life, but it was the Holy Spirit. See?

L-105   Now, suddenly, there rose trouble. The ship begin to rock. The waves got high. And, the sail, probably the wind just come down with an angry gush and whipped it right off the mast pole. And the ship rocked over, and the big waves white-capped and throwed the water in on the boat. And the boat begin to fill up with water. Trouble! All hopes of survival seemed to be gone, though they had seen Him do so many things. They had seen it, but, when trouble set in, all was forgotten.

L-106 I wonder if that's just not about the case tonight. We know what we have seen God do in this revival. You ministers know that. You see His--His power. His, how He raised the dead; doctor's statement. He foretold the things that happened, on the dot. He's healed the sick. Thousands times thousands has been healed, around the world. But now while the little lull comes, and then when trouble strikes, do we forget that so quick?

L-107   Just like Israel, when He had done all the plagues in Egypt, and done the great things He did. Then when they got to the Red Sea, Moses had to scream out, "You've seen ten miracles, and still you doubt God?" When they found no water at the old watering hole, they were murmuring, complaining. That's just human beings. They forgot all the miracles that He did. See? We do it, too.
