<TITLE>26. Par 199-201</TITLE>L-199 So they don't come to the spiritual feast that they're invited to. Do you believe that God has give America an invitation, the last fifteen years, to a great revival, to a spiritual feast? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Did they come? No, sir. No, sir. Then, to reject to come, is that life worthy of the Gospel, though they call themselves that?

L-200   When a man come to me, not long ago, and set at a table, and said, "Brother Branham, I want to reach across the table," a great man, "I want to take a hold of your hand. I love you." I was in a church and heard him preaching. Said, "I love you. I believe you're God's servant."
I said, "Thank you, doctor. I love you, too."
He said, "I want to tell you how much I love you, as a brother." And said, "You see my little queen setting here, my wife? You remember her?"
I said, "I do."
Said, "The doctor give her two weeks to live, with sarcoma cancer. And you come to the city and you prayed for her. And looked up, and saw a vision. Looked back and told me, 'THUS SAITH THE LORD, "She'll be healed."' Great spot in her back, sunk in like that, looked like a great big... like the part of a woman's breast pulled inwardly, in her back, right on her spine. There's not even a spot of it, today." Said, "There sets my queen, a living today." Said, "How could I do anything but love you, for praying that prayer of faith? How can I keep from believing you to be a--a servant of the Lord, when you saw me, and told just exactly what would happen?" He said, "Now I've got something for you, Brother Branham." He said, "I belong to the greatest Pentecostal league there is."
I said, "Yes, sir. I know that."
He said, "I talked with the brethren, not long ago, and they told me to get in contact with you, and tell you that it was a shame that you took that God-given ministry to a bunch of people off the river and around like that."
I said, "That right?"
Said, "Yes." Said, "God sent that ministry to hit the nerve spots, the big spot, the highlights."

L-201   I seen the Devil talking right then. I thought, "Yeah. 'Jump down off this mountain, and show, you know, off this building.'" See? See?
I thought, "Just lead him on a little far." My old mother used to say, "Give the cow enough rope, she'll hang her own self."
I said, "Is that right?"
"Yes." Said, "It's a shame, by what you do." Said, "What are you? Today you can hardly buy yourself a meal." And said, "Look at Oral Roberts and them, stepped in, and got out there with the one hundredth of the ministry you got. Look what they go."
I said, "Yeah. That's right." See?
And he said, "My group will take you. We'll take you right in, as--as one of our brethren. We'll all give you the right hand of fellowship, and we'll charter a plane, and give you your wages of five hundred a week, or more if you want it. And we'll send you to every major city in the country." This happened right in Phoenix, Arizona, right across the table. And he said, "And we'll pay your..." Said, "Then let the world, the outside world, let the dignitaries, the big guys, the up-and-up..." Said, "You're always talking about the down-and-out. We got the up-and-out's." Said, "Let them see the hand of the Lord. Then I'll let them take my wife along, and others, can prove that those things that you say comes to pass."
