<TITLE>16. Par 167-182</TITLE>L-167 Raymond Richey raised up, said, "What would you consider holy-rollers?" Said, "What would you consider sane people?"
He said, "Baptist."

L-168 He said, "All right. How many in this building now can show by a doctor's certificate that Jesus Christ healed you while Brother Branham was here?" And three hundred stood up. Said, "What about that?" See? So he just got fighting angry.

L-169 I thought I'd walk down. I heard the Holy Spirit say, "Go down." I looked, and here was this Light hanging right above where I was at. I walked down there.

L-170 I said, "If the gift is in question, that's different. But I'm not a healer. God is the healer." And I said, "If I testify for God, God is obligated to testify for me."

L-171   Now, the Douglas Studio, with a big camera setting there. They said, this minister said, "Take some glossies of that old man; I'm going to skin him and pull his hide off of him, and tack his skin on my study door, for a memorial to Divine healing." Could you imagine a Christian saying that about another one? See, you're known by your fruit. So, and he took six glossies. And he put his fist up under Brother Bosworth's nose, before they started the debate, he said, "Take it like this," and he took it. Brother Bosworth just stood there.

L-172 And you know what? When he took that to the studio back there, to examine it, there wasn't one of them. Every one of them was perfectly blocked out. God would not permit that infidel to put his finger under a godly man's nose, like that, had the pictures taken.

L-173   And while I was standing there, I said, "If it's in question about the gift of God, for discernment, that's the promised Scripture. That can be proved. That can be proved." But I said, "As for me being a healer, no, sir, I am not a healer, sir."

L-174 He said, "As a man, I respect you. As a minister, I--I don't think much of you."

L-175 I said, "I'll return the compliments," and so just went ahead like that.

L-176 So he said, "I'd like to see you perform. I'd like to see you hypnotize somebody, and let me see them a year from today." He started to turn around.

L-177 I said, "If I speak for God, God is duty bound to speak for me." I no more than said that, and here come that whirl again. Right down in the audience where It was, there come that Pillar of Fire down. And that big studio camera, now, snapped the picture.

L-178 George J. Lacy, the head of the F.B.I. for fingerprinting document, took it at midnight that night. When they put it, It was the only one that had a picture. And you...

L-179 How many has got it on your shelves now in your home? See? Hangs in Washington, D.C., in a hall--hall of religious art, "The only supernatural Being was ever photographed in all the world's history."

L-180   What is It? Watch It! Look at It this week. Look what It's done. "Yesterday, today, and forever, the same!" Now, if I had ten thousand tongues, I could not get through speaking for Him. Yes, sir.

L-181 My pastor said to me, back there, said, "Boy, you had a dream!" No matter what he had...

L-182 I remember when I first started out, and met you people here in these countries. He told me, said, "The first gift will be that you," the Voice behind this, "will be you put your hands upon the sick, and, don't say nothing, It'll say what it is." How many remembers that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] And I said... "Then it will come to pass," He said to me that night when He met me at Green's Mill, and He... I asked Him about it, and He said, "That's the way it was in the early days." Said, "Our Lord, they--they did it the same way. And this is the hour that this must be fulfilled."
