<TITLE>02. Par 11-21</TITLE>L-11 I called her again, a while ago, and she was so happy. She said, "Last week," said, "Bill, the pains were so bad, I couldn't even sit still, couldn't sleep at night, nor nothing." Said, "Every time I tried to turn, that big tumor turned inside." And said, "I've got the words to the doctor here, said, 'Mrs. Branham... '" As soon as she come from the table, her and some of the sisters. "Said, 'There is not one trace. I don't know what's happened.' Said, 'There is not one trace.' And he said-he said, 'Stand up.' And what he said do, I did it. And, that, the Lord answered the rest."

L-12   I'm looking down here on an old friend of mine. Not long ago, a friend by the name is... He is a German. His name is D-a-u-c-h, I think, the way he spells his name. But we call him Dauch, 'cause I can't say that German word right. Ninety-one years old. I baptized him in the Name of Jesus Christ, not long ago. A fine man, a great supporter was to Oral Roberts and many other man. But when he come one day to the tabernacle. Didn't have no clothes; he wanted to be baptized, anyhow.

L-13   The other day, he was ninety-one years old. He not only had a heart attack, but a complete heart failure. His wife sitting there, is a long-passed registered nurse. They had him in the hospital at Lima, Ohio, with some of the most famous doctors they had in the country. Not a chance for him to live an hour or more, he was gone; a heart failure, ninety-one years old, and a heart attack. I thought, "Poor Brother Bill Dauch, probably see him the last time. I must try to get to him." I prayed all night. When they told me he was laying with a heart failure, I knew, at ninety-one years old, he couldn't come out.

L-14   So, such a good friend of mine now, and to my family, and I started to meet him, the next morning. On the road up, I was thinking, "What a fine man he was!" And I thought, "Someday I'll see him again." And I went in to...

L-15 I drove fast, and I had a tire cutting, I didn't even have time to have it balanced or taken... That wheel out of line, just cut the tire to pieces, going up them concrete highways. And I went in, I said, "I just haven't got time to change it."

L-16 The man said, "You'll blow it out, in another two hundred miles."

L-17 I said, "I just haven't got time, sir. Thank you. Just let it blow out." And I said, "I got a spare. I got to get to a friend that's dying."

L-18   And I started to walk around there. And I looked up, and there come a vision. I seen Brother Dauch sitting in the church. I looked at him, coming, and here he come down the street, and took a hold of my hand and shook it. He said, "Go tell him, 'THUS SAITH THE LORD.'"

L-19 Here he sits, sir. And about the very next service, I happened to look down there, and there sat Brother Dauch sitting in church, drove down three hundred miles from Ohio. I went to New York last week, there he sat in New York, right in the midst of all that. Here he is down in Shreveport, tonight, sitting here now.

L-20 When I pass through the portals of time, into Eternity, if God so lets me pass in peace, someday I'll shake his hand on the other side, 'cause the same God.

L-21   A few days ago, great things, I just can't go in to tell you just what's happened in the last few days. It looks like that, I believe, in the last... since that experience in Colorado, a few weeks ago, the Lord has been more graciously to me, to--to answer prayer. And there is supposed to be a third stage, you know, of the ministry; and I can never tell it, what it is. And so I believe the Lord is with us and is going to do great things.
