<TITLE>12. Par 62-68</TITLE>L-62 Then the Lord told me not to do that no more. And I--I felt bad about it, so I promised Him I wouldn't do it no more. No. I said, "If it's emergency and somebody needs it, I'll do it. But if they don't need it, I won't do it." Just them men, they got plenty of money to buy beef and stuff. So why should I do that? Let the animal live if you're not going to use it.

L-63   So I just go to be alone. And any man, that ever goes hunting with me, know I don't hunt with anybody. I go out to myself, to get alone. I go with them, to have fellowship at night, stand around and pray, and so forth.
But there was many other ministers there. There was, up in the mountains this year, was our Brother Palmer. I believe I saw him somewhere a while... Here he is, setting here, Brother Palmer. And a Brother Bob Lambert, he was here this morning, I heard him shouting somewhere. I guess he is still here. And then there was a brother... the two Martin boys, I guess they're here. Are they, the Martin boys? Brother, the Brother Martin. You called me the other day, that was good. That boy was healed, that brother minister.

L-64   Are you here, the one I prayed for, on the phone, the other day? I forget his name, from down in Arkansas there. His wife called me; the man was all swelled up in the side, and high fever, dying. The same man that was called out, down at the--the Little Rock, or the Hot Springs meeting, setting in the meeting.
And it's a fine-looking fellow. If he's here, I guess he won't raise up now, at all. But I forget his name. I can't think of his name. [Someone says, "Brother Blair."--Ed.] Blair, Brother Blair. Somebody...
Well, now, setting in the meeting at Little Rock, how many was at, I mean, at the Hot Springs, how many was at the meeting? And the Holy Spirit called that young fellow and told him that the Devil was trying to get him to renounce me, to say I was a "false prophet." And the man witnessed it was the truth. You see what the Devil was doing? The man don't go to doctors. He don't believe in going to doctors. But the Satan knew this disease was going to strike him, and he could kill him right there. See? So he was trying to get him to renounce me. And the Holy Spirit, in grace, called him out and told him not to do that; the man, being a stranger, called him not to do that.

L-65   And the other night, his wife called me and said, "Brother Branham, I believe that he's dying." Said, "He is--he is all swelled out. And, his fever, he's out of his head, nearly." And said, "The last thing he said, 'Call Brother Branham.'"
I said, "Have you got anything, your purse with a handkerchief?"
"No." I was in Tucson; she was in Arkansas.
And I said, "You got any?"
She said, I believe, her "scarf."
I said, "Now put your hand on the scarf, and hold the receiver in the other hand." And I prayed and asked God to be merciful and to renounce that enemy.

L-66 And she went and laid the scarf on the man. And the next morning, he called me.
Now, in about twenty-four hours, or less than that.

L-67   Our precious brother, I haven't seen him tonight yet, Brother Roy Roberson. And at once, you know, Brother Roy was kind of a military man. If he's here, I--I hope he understands, because I--I--I'm not condemning that. But everything is strict, he was a sergeant in the Army, you know, and you have to kind of get use to handling men like they do in the Army. "Well, these spiritual things for somebody else," not him! But the Lord spared him. He would have been dead; they laid him out for dead, for a long time. The Lord healed him; he's followed ever since. But all this spiritual stuff, he didn't know about, and visions.

L-68   And here not long ago, many know the vision that was give to Brother Roy even before I went out there, about him seeing me standing up on the mountain there, in that Light, and a Voice coming from me. That took all doubt from Brother Roy.
