<TITLE>04. Par 33-42</TITLE>L-33 A very strange thing happened. I might as well... I know this is taped, and I might as well place it on here. And right while visions and leadings of the Holy Spirit is moving, I like to strike just exactly while It's moving. That's... Now, in the last year it's been one, right along with one of the most highest time for visions that I've ever had, in all my ministry, has been this last year, of things that has taken place, that you people know that it's foretold before it happens, and it happened just the way it--it said.

L-34   Now, we come back here, and--and to visit. The climate in this place, I certainly don't like, 'cause I'm... just breaks me down as soon as I get here. And I just... I can cross the top of the knobs up there and come down in this valley, and I'm here about ten minutes and I got hives, get sick. Weather, swimmy-headed, everything looks spooky, dark, and I--I just have to get out of it. See? And the other day I was talking to the wife...

L-35   But what brings me in, first, what brings me in here, is you people, see, this church. I tell you, of all the places I ever went in my life, this is my favorite place to come preach the Gospel. And looks like that we can make a tape from here that's ten times better than anywhere else. See? See, that's the reason I say, "Where God is doing something, then stay right with that." But I think, where the great thing is, that was me failing to go out at the first time when He called me, and therefore He makes it kind of rough on me when I come in. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

L-36   And then I'll be coming back and forth, all the time, preaching in the tabernacle. And you people that's from out of town, you'll be notified. Billy Paul will be here, right in the office, and--and can be reached at any time, through him. And we'll be coming back here, hold... And then the Seven Trumpets is coming up right away, the Lord willing, Seven Last Plagues, and the Vials, and so forth, just as we can, get a little cooler weather, maybe, or something, however the Lord leads.

L-37   And now, the other day, coming in, there was a question brought up about something, about someone had given me a--a check, and it said "personally," exactly just to me, and me only, "tax paid, free," everything else. Well, we went, and Billy knew that I kind of had need of that check, now.

L-38 He went and asked the attorneys if we could cash it. He said, "Why, he's an American citizen. Why can't he cash it? See, says, 'tax paid,' and everything else, 'free.' Any citizen can do that."

L-39   So then he couldn't be satisfied with that, Billy, so he goes to the public accountant. He said, "Why, certainly, he can cash that." Said, "He's a citizen of the United States."

L-40 So, well, he couldn't think good about that, so he called Merle Miller, that's the head of the--the tax association at--at Indianapolis there, was our attorneys, and so Ice and Miller. So, "Sure, it's all right. See? Sure, he can have that check. It's--it's--it's made out to him, 'endorsee only.'" I can, only one can endorse it, so forth, and it couldn't be stamped with our...

L-41   See, I don't cash no checks. That's what they got me for the other time. Somebody bring in a bunch of checks, and say, "Here, Brother Branham," at the meeting. I'd say, "William Branham, William Branham..." Well, the government was taking care of all that, all the time. And I was signing them to myself and was paying the debts out there, but they said I owed delinquent taxes on all of it, anyhow, three hundred thousand dollars. So--so then that's where the fuss came.

L-42 So then as soon as I put this check in, whammy, here come the agent right back, said, "We'll reopen the case for him now." So it made it kind of rough.
