<TITLE>03. Par 22-26</TITLE>L-22   And--and then I believe it was Sister Nash, a lady here, a colored sister that comes to the church, some of them started running forward. And now she, Mrs. Way, kept reaching for me to come across the platform. And I said, "Everybody keep quiet, keep in your seat." Don't never be excited in them kind of times. See? That's what Satan wants to do. Just wait and see what He says. If it's somebody moving on to Glory, well, we got to go sometime, no better place than in church, so--so then right in the house of the Lord. So then...
But the man was turning back. I thought maybe something had, he had fainted or something had happened to him, in that manner. But when I looked, and his head turned around this way, and seeing the inside, down part of his eyes, pushed out. You can't shut, you can't put your eyes in that condition; it's the heart stopping that does that. And I went across this, and he... There was someone, kind person, had laid a... something for his head to lay on. And there was his feet, hands, and everything, stiff. It stopped. His face was as dark as my coat, reddish black, and his eyes turned back. And I know heart attack. I know what they do and how they turn; anybody else that's ever seen it. So I put my hand upon his pulse, and there's no more pulse than there is on this desk. [Brother Branham taps the wooden pulpit--Ed.] Not a thing. Here is his wife, a registered nurse, who checked his pulse. There was no pulse there.

L-23   Then, the other day while I was with Brother Way on a discernment in here, I seen that he had a murmuring heart, anyhow. So then I thought, "This is it." So I laid my hands upon him. I said, "Dear God, I call, in the Name of Jesus Christ, the soul of my brother, his life back again." And the Lord Jehovah knows, and His Bible here before me, it felt like, when I had my hand on his pulse... And as I know I'll answer for this at the Day of the Judgment if it be wrong. And it felt like his pulse beat four or five times, quickly, went, pump, pump, pump, pump, pump; and then started off, going, pump, pump, pump, pump.

L-24 And he was trying to open his mouth to say something to me. And trying to get his mouth, and gurgling, kind of, to try to say it. And he got out the words, "Brother Branham." Then it looked like he would go back to sleep or something, and I waited just a moment again, checked his pulse again; it was beating normally. And then again I looked, and he looked over at me. And he was kind of, I seen, beside himself; he didn't know where he was at, but his heart beating normal. And God had called back his life to him again.

L-25   So I--I say that in honor of Jesus Christ, who it is the same God, that when... This morning I had preached at length, way over my time, and tired and worn. And there could be two things. He either got tired, or when I spoke of having a complex, not just to--to mess my brother up, as we'd say it, because I had... I was making my confession of having complex. And I guess if I'd ask tonight, in this audience of people, "How many in here knows you have complex?" practically every hand would go up. That you might know, Brother Way, just let me show you whether it's discernment or not. How many knows that you got a complex, raise your hand. Look at there! See? But I--I don't know if that shock of me saying that to Brother Way, taking it like I might be rebuking him or something, then, that he fell into this condition, and the Lord Jesus brought him back.

L-26 Now I--I am... think that the same God that the great Saint Paul represented in his days, that when he preached at length one night, and a man fell and his life was gone out of him; and Paul, getting over the man, by the grace of God, said back to the audience, "His life is within him." I--I think that it proves to us, or if you've never seen it before, that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
