<TITLE>02. Par 9-20</TITLE>L-9 "And there's a little woman out there," he said, "that's got a baby that's dead, died this morning." That was about nine o'clock that night. Died that morning in a doctor's office. And said, "She wants that dead baby brought into the line." Said, "I haven't got no more cards, and I got the line lined up." Said, "I don't know." And it pouring rain just as hard; just standing there in it, cold rain. Looked out there, and them little Mexican women, their hair hanging down, just drenched, wet, under them lights. And you couldn't hardly see out, through, it's raining so hard. Well, I said... "Well," he said, "I can't hold her," said, "we got--we got three hundred ushers." Said, "She climbs right over the top of them, and she's got this dead baby."

L-10 I said, "Well, Brother Moore, why don't you go down and pray for her?" And I had been preaching about ten minutes, I guess, something. And I said, "Why don't you go pray for her," I said, "because she wouldn't know who I am, or nobody; been several speakers." I said, "She don't know who I am. You go pray for the baby and that'll satisfy her."

L-11   He said, "All right, Brother Branham." He started to go off the platform.

L-12 And there was a rick of old clothes, that high, all the way for, oh, maybe twenty or thirty yards. A blind man had received his sight, the night before, and so they were really interested. Ninety percent Catholic.

L-13 So then I started to preach. I said, "As I was saying, faith is the sub-..."

L-14 I looked, standing before me, and there was a little Mexican baby; a little black face, little gums, no teeth, just shining, little gums like that. And I thought, "That must be that baby." I said, "Wait a minute, Brother Moore. Tell the little lady to bring the baby here."

L-15 So they opened up, the room; no--no prayer card. She wasn't really supposed to get in, but she was persistent. That's--that's what you want. So she had brought the baby up.

L-16   I said, "Heavenly Father!" Course, they don't interpret the prayer. I said, "I don't know whether this is the baby, or not. I just seen the little baby. But if it is, it's Your respect to that woman making this sacrifice." I laid my hands over on that little blue blanket, and that little stiff frame about that long, hanging out in the woman's arm.

L-17 And the baby let out a scream and begin kicking, the top of its... just screaming so hard as it could. The baby was... Now the little lady fell down and started hollering, "Padre!" Padre means "father," you know. Had beads in her hand.
I said, "That's not necessary."

L-18   And I said to Brother Espinoza, a Pentecostal preacher. Many, I guess, I guess you know him. Yeah, Brother Espinoza. I said, "Now don't you write, 'that baby was dead.' I don't know. The only thing I seen was that there, that vision." I said, "You follow a--a runner after that woman, and let her go and let the doctor sign a statement to it."

L-19 And the Christian Business Men's Voice just recently packed the statement, "The doctor give testimony, 'the baby died with double pneumonia,' in his office that morning, 'at a quarter till nine o'clock.'" And that was ten o'clock that night, the Lord Jesus give it back its life again, because of a sacrifice. Now, that is so true! God in Heaven knows that's right. Doctor's certified statement! The statement now is in the hands of the Christian Business Men, which Demos Shakarian is nat-... international director. He has the statement signed by the doctor, "The baby died with double pneumonia, that morning." And at ten o'clock that night the baby was made live, because of a faith of a mother that was persistent to do it. That's so.

L-20   Just the same as the little Shunammite woman was persistent to get to Elijah!
