<TITLE>19. Par 212-226</TITLE>L-212 She seen a Catholic man, that had been blind for twenty or thirty years, receive his sight by being prayed for. She... and the rack of old garments. You think this is something? Oh, three times this platform, stacked that high, with just as far as you could see, with old shawls and hats. How they ever knowed who it belonged to, I don't know. But, they believed; simple, child faith.

L-213   So I said, "Well," I said to Brother Jack. He and I part our hair the same, you know, so I--I said, "Brother Jack, she wouldn't know the difference between you and I. You go down there and pray for the baby."

L-214 And he said, "All right, Brother Branham." He started down. Now, Jack is sitting right there. So we was... He started.

L-215 I started to preach, like this. And I looked, and I seen a little, Mexican baby, a little black-faced baby standing here in front of me, just smiling, its little gums. He didn't have any teeth. I said, "Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Bring the baby here."
I said, "Lord God, I don't know."

L-216 She run up, and have a crucifix in her hand, hollering, "Padre," it means "father."
I said, "Stand up now."

L-217 She had a little, blue-looking blanket; and a little baby, stiff, dead, laying on it; just soaking wet, her hair all down. Pretty little lady, probably her first baby; in her twenties, you know, and she was just holding it down like this. And I--I said, "I'll pray for the baby." I laid my hands. They don't interpret the prayer.

L-218 I said, "Lord God, I only seen the vision. I don't know." And about that time, it let out a kick, and begin screaming and crying like that.

L-219 I said, "Brother Espinoza," to the--the chairman of the meeting, I said, "don't you just take that woman's testimony. You send a witness to that, to the doctor."

L-220 The doctor signed the witness which appears in the men's Voice Of Healing. "The baby died with double pneumonia, that morning at nine o'clock, in his office, pronounced dead, no respiration; had been laying in the rain all day, dead, and was healed." Is alive today, as far as I know, living to the Kingdom of God.

L-221 I have many things, out of Africa, where I seen thirty thousand raw heathens give their life to Jesus Christ.

L-222 God keeps His Word. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, as His witness.

L-223   You are, your mind is the jury. And your action is your judge.
Now bow your heads just a moment.

L-224 Lord Jesus, the trial hasn't started; how many more could we call up here on the platform! You said, "If--if they lay hands on the sick, they shall recover." You said, "The works that I do shall you also." The woman touched Your garment, You turned and told her what had happened. And You keep all Your Words. There is none of them wrong. The wrong is in the unbeliever, Lord. Mr. Unbeliever, he is the one that contaminates the person; Mr. Skeptic; and that impatient one that can't wait upon the Lord, and yet calling himself the Seed of Abraham. O Holy Spirit, the defense witness, You know who has faith and who don't.

L-225 But, God, I pray that You'll move back every unbelief, this afternoon. And may the great Judge of all the earth come forward now, the One Who wrote the Word. He is the Word. May He come forward.

L-226   And as these people pass through here, to be healed this afternoon, may each one of them make up their mind now. They're on trial. I'm laying it right in their laps, Lord. Their mind is their jury. And the way they act from here on, when they pass through this line, will prove what they think about the Word of God.
