<TITLE>03. Par 21-33</TITLE>L-21 Not long ago, I was invited by our precious, gallant soul, Brother Oral Roberts. I was standing in his place there. I believe he said it cost about three million dollars, the building or some. Oh, my! I've been in Hollywood, and I prayed for King George in the palace, and Gustav up in Sweden, and different places, and I been lots of places, a privilege of being there, and I seen much, but I never seen a building like that. And when I went in, there was so many people at the door, the police had to take me around and bring me out the back way, waiting, come out for prayer for the sick. And when I went out the back way, Brother Fisher taken me out, after he had showed me through the building, when I was standing out there and looking up at that great, mammoth building.

L-22   I had just come from Brother Tommy Osborn. Both those boys say that they come to the meeting and was inspired. I thank the Lord, then, for letting me have a little part in the ministry.

L-23 And how Brother Osborn, how he come there that night, and saw that maniac run to the platform, to kill me. And throwed his arms out, and said, "I'm going to break every bone in your body."

L-24 I said, "Because you've challenged the Spirit of God, tonight, you'll fall over my feet."

L-25 He spit in my face. Said, "I'll show you whose feet I'll fall over." And he raised back his fist to hit me.

L-26 And I said, "Satan, leave the man." He whirled around, around, then fell over my feet. And the police had to roll him off.

L-27 Tommy Osborn said, "If God can do that for one man, He can for another." And so...

L-28   And Tommy Osborn, a gallant soul, a real man! I been down to his great place there and seen his great building.

L-29 Come over and seen Brother Oral Roberts. Then they... I went out, through the back. They was going to come around and pick me up. I was looking at that great, mammoth building. I thought, "Oh, my! Look at Brother Tommy, Lord, how You blessed him." I looked over here and seen Brother Oral's. I said, "Just think of what God can do for one little, humble man! Oral Roberts, born in a dug-out, I think, out there. One little old poor boy, and could give him millions of dollars into his hands, and things."
Now, Something said to me, "Well, what about you?"

L-30   I thought, "Well, no." I thought, "Boy, I'd sure be ashamed for one of them to come to my place. I got one typewriter setting in the end of a building. Now, Brother Oral had, I believe, five hundred IBM machines on one floor." I thought, "Everything never even touched with human hands, this high." I thought, "Oh, my! If he'd come into my place, say, 'I'd like to see your office, Brother Branham.' Ooooh!" I thought, "I'd feel ashamed of myself." I thought, "Well, Lord, maybe--maybe You couldn't trust me. Maybe I wouldn't do for me to be that." I said, "No. Lord, You're infinite. You know I haven't got that much intelligence." I thought, "Look what they inherited!" I thought, "Well, I guess I haven't got very much."

L-31 And Something said, "Look up." So I was pretty well satisfied then. I'm look for a City Whose Builder and Maker is God.

L-32 Now, I'm not nothing against these brothers who God can trust like that, but I--I love them. And I thank God for doing that for great men like that.

L-33   But, for me, that would worry me to death, well, if I had to have twenty, thirty thousand dollars a day, to operate a business. If I get enough for my three children, and my wife, and myself, to eat, and a place to sleep, that's good enough for me. Then if the Lord wants me go somewhere, these little, humble places, then I can go. Maybe He kept me that way, you see.
