<TITLE>06. Par 64-76</TITLE>L-64   I remember speaking at a Kiwanis, not long ago. And then I remember the fellow that ordained me in the Missionary Baptist church, that always make fun. I said, "What the Bap-... What you call fanaticism, see, won more souls to Christ in one hour, than the tens of thousands of dollars that the Baptist church has put in missionaries over there.

L-65 What did we find them? Over there, tagged like a Christian, like this, and packing an idol in their arm. "If Amoyah..." Amoyah means "an unseen force," like the wind. "If it fails, this won't." That's the strength of it. And there I seen thirty thousand blanket natives give their life to Christ.

L-66 And going to the tribes out in there, winning their other friends to Christ. And I made one prayer for the entire group. And about four hours from then, Sidney Smith, the mayor of Durban, Sidney Smith, mayor of Durban, South Africa, called me on the phone. Which, had been a woman that had died, the night before that, and been called on, to pray. And she was at the meeting, alive. And so, then, that was Sidney Smith's relation, and he was all thrilled.

L-67 And then when this, he said, "Go to your window and look, coming down the street." And there come those big vans, just piled full. And the natives that had been in those cots and stretchers, that morning, was walking behind, with their hands up, weeping, singing in their native tongue, "Only believe. All things are possible." And no more war among them, just row after row coming down there. The trucks going like that, and the police escorts, and rickshaw had to run everywhere, like that. Only Believe.

L-68   Now, if blanket natives who doesn't know right from left hand can accept that, what about us? See? You know why? They've never been indoctumented with any kind of doctrine. See?

L-69 We've had everybody. Dr. So-and-so says, "It's fanaticism." This other one says, "It's telepathy." This says, "There's nothing to it." This says, "It's a devil." You don't know what to believe. That's the reason it's hard. The hardest place to have healing services is in U.S.A. That's right.

L-70 There, they over there, they don't know nothing about. They haven't heard nothing. You tell them. They're just like a child. They accept it and believe it, away they go.

L-71 The Lord help us now. Now, just one more time to pray. We can't pray too much, that's one thing. Bible said, "I would that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands."

L-72 Receive us, Lord, into Your fellowship here, as we commit ourself to You, the fellowship of Your Word, for You are the Word. We ask in Jesus' Name, speak to hearts. Amen.

L-73   We're left Abraham last night, and... We started with him, and over in the 22nd chapter of Genesis, where he was offering up his only son, a type of God giving His Son. We started back then, dropped back to pick him up again, his life, and we've never got away from it yet. We left him, last night, over about the 16th or 17th chapter. I believe, the 15th chapter is where we left him at. And we're going to try to finish it up tonight, 'cause I got a message just for Divine healing, the Lord willing, for tomorrow afternoon.

L-74 And now every pastor is invited. Bring your congregation. Come here and stand with them for prayer.

L-75   Now we realize that sometimes that Jesus did things, and He does things sometimes... You say, "Why would He permit these things then, Brother Branham? Why would He permit these things to be?" Sometimes it's done to try your faith, many times. We... And He does things strange. Why don't He just walk out and say, "I am This, and I am That." He didn't do that in the first place. See, He does it to try your faith.

L-76 Look, the priests thought that probably He would come down and speak to Caiaphas, a high priest. But how was He born? In a manger. And was absolutely rejected by His Own people and His denominations of them days.
