<TITLE>07. Par 70-84</TITLE>L-70 Now I'm going to have to say some things here that--that's going to be scratchy. But I--I must tell the truth, no matter what it is. I've always hated to say that my father was a bootlegger. I hated to say that, but it's the truth. Yeah. If there is anything wrong, let's--let's--let's straighten it right here, don't wait till we get up There. And I--I like to say the good things, but we must say the bad ones, too.

L-71   My wife was in the room, a little, black-headed woman. And Mrs. Malicki said, "That's strange, how that acts on your hand." Said, "Does it do that on everybody's hand?"
I said, "No, ma'am."
Said, "Can you explain it?"
I said, "No, ma'am."

L-72 No, you can't explain nothing of God. You can't explain the works of God. You can't explain God. God is without explaining. If it was, we wouldn't have to believe Him by faith.

L-73 I said, "The works of God are past finding out. See?" I said, "It's an act of God, that I cannot explain."
And she said, "Well, I... That is certainly marvelous."
And, and I said, "Well, I'll put my hand on. See there, nothing happens."

L-74 I said, "There is nothing wrong with my wife." Put your hand on, honey." And just as soon as her hand hit mine, my own wife, I said, "You got a cyst on the left ovary."
Remember that, Brother Sharrit, in the room that night?

L-75   Well, two years after that, my little Sarah was born, four years after Becky. I said to the doctor, this... They all have to be caesarean, because she can't have babies normal; she was the same way, her family is that way. And I said to the doctor, "Look on the left ovary, and when you have her open, and see if there isn't a cyst on it."

L-76 He said, "Brother Branham, we, I'll--I'll take a look." But when it... When he come back down, he said, "I didn't see nothing, Brother Branham."
I said, "All right."

L-77 Four years later, my little Joseph come on the scene. And I--I'd take a hold of her hand, it was still there. And I said, "Doctor, look at that left ovary again, will you?"

L-78 And he said, "Yes, Brother Branham." He looked at it, and it... "No, nothing there," he said.

L-79 I took a hold of her hand. I said, "But it is there. It is there. Here, it proves it here." He couldn't find it.
Well, it went on, years passed by.

L-80   Last year, we, it was our twenty-second year we had been married. And I had been on a hunting trip, every honeymoon. And I always go to a little place up there on top of the mountain, and I have a little prayer up there, and offer God my thanksgiving for a good wife. My wife has been a darling to me, and so I do that each year.

L-81 When we come over here in Arizona, by the commandment of the Lord. And you seen in the paper, and I had the little picture here, was showing it to somebody this afternoon, how the magazine packed it. And I stood right here on this platform, and told every person here, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, 'Something is fixing to take place. I seen a constellation of seven Angels meet me, north of Tucson.'" You remember that? How many was in here when I said that years ago? All right. And you know just exactly how it happened, the same way.

L-82   The magazine even packed the picture, "Seen a mysterious Light, twenty-seven miles high; thirty miles high, and twenty-seven miles across." Moisture only goes about eight or nine miles high, you know, and they can't figure out what It was. I never said a word about it, just let it go; 'cause, it don't do one bit of good, not one.

L-83 Just the same as it did about the Light that they taken, the Angel of the Lord, they still don't believe It.

L-84 And now, so when we come out here, I constantly in meetings, doing everything I can for the Lord. But I don't do all that I should, I--I know that I make so many mistakes.
