<TITLE>04. Par 37-49</TITLE>L-37 And he said, "But what I can't understand..." Said, "I believe that there is God. And I know that that lily can't live there without God," said, "'cause it's got a life in it." He said, "But is He tangible? I set that baby on the platform. I examined it. Its eyes was crossed right there. And here is the baby now with straight eyes. What did it, Mr. Branham?"
I said, "Jesus Christ."

L-38 And he said, he said, "Well, now look," he said, "I believe in God." He said, "But I want to ask you a question, as a minister now. Did you hypnotize that baby?"

L-39 I said, "Mister, and you mean the--the British Medical Association give you license to practice medicine, and know no more about hypnotism than that? If hypnotism will straightened the babies eyes, you ought to be practicing hypnotism." See?
And he said, "Well, tell me what done it?"
I said, "Jesus Christ."
He said, "Look," said, "I believe. I said God is in that lily."

L-40   And Mr. Bosworth said, "Now, you're going to start a riot here." Cause, they had segregation, too, there, you know.

L-41 And so I said, "You're going..." Then, tribal war, I said, "You're going to start a riot now. Don't do that." I said, "You're taking too much time for that baby."

L-42 And I said, "Here is what you have to do. The baby was standing there. You put it on the platform. It's own faith, and the mother's faith, by telling it that, healed the baby. It's eyes were crossed there, it never touched me, or been around me, or anything else. I never even no more than looked and seen the baby, looked back to the congregation, saw the vision, told what it was, and looked back, the babies eyes was straight."

L-43 And he walked up under that big webbed mike. He said, "I accept Jesus Christ as my Saviour." See?

L-44 When I was leaving Durban, he jumped over the fence, where many, about ten, twenty thousand people was out there, say "Good bye." And leaving... not Durban. I'm sorry. Johannesburg. And he jumped out, and grabbed me around the waist, this, and told me that he had give up his practice in the city, and is turning into the mission field, as a medical missionary to the people. And while he talking to me, he started speaking in other tongues, as he was talking to me. That's true, a medical doctor, Anglican, Anglican.

L-45   The next down there was a little boy, or young man. He... I won't have time to go into it. It's... He was so, he--he had to walk on his hands and feet, like. They had a chain around his neck, like a dog.

L-46 And I said, "My, you, that poor fellow. If anybody could help him, and wouldn't do it, it would be a very cruel-hearted person." I said, "Of course, now, I can't heal him, anyone knows that. I cannot heal him. I can only just say if the Lord will show me what's happened, or what caused it, or something. Because healing is already purchased.

L-47 I want you people here, that's sick, to realize that. Healing is already purchased. You're already healed. It's just a lack of faith. All things are possible to them that will believe. You just got to believe that now.

L-48 And so then we find that this little... this fellow here, I--I said, "Bring him up here."

L-49 And they was leading him by a chain. And he thought, now, sometimes the tribe want to do a clown for the tourists. And they do a little dance, you know, a little tribal dance, to get coins from the tourists. And he thought I wanted him to do a dance. The boy wasn't even mentally right. And, yeah, I couldn't say in this mixed crowd, 'cause they wear no clothes, you know. Their women, men, and all, are naked. So they--they just... maybe just a clout, or something. But he was on his hands and feet, and it was just terrible. So then I... They held him by the chain, like that, and brought him up; had it around his neck, leading him. And he was trying, going, "A-ba-ba-ba." I tried to make him understand that wasn't what I wanted. I...
