<TITLE>01. Par 1-10</TITLE>65-0410, The Easter Seal, Ramada Inn, Phoenix, AZ, 137 min
L-1         Certainly a privilege to be here this morning, on this birthday of the Full Gospel Business Men's chapter here at Phoenix, and to know that the Lord granted me a little part of it, to be part of this fellowship. I want to greet Brother Carl Williams and his wife, Brother Stromei, the rest here at the platform, Brother Shores, Brother Outlaw, the ministers, and all you fine people.

L-2 You know, I--I had a birthday last week, too. And I'm just a teeny bit older than a chapter. I believe he said, "Five and... years old, for the chapter."

L-3 Somebody said, other day, said, "How old are you, Brother Branham?"

L-4 I said "Twenty-six." And I said, "I wiped out the first twenty-five years. I didn't serve Him so well in them." I said, "I hope He does, too." To get Him to do it will be different.

L-5   But it's good to be here. And now we want to not take much of your time. Because we... I'm--I'm always afraid, after I hear some of these fine testimonies, and things that's going on, that I... and songs, that I will do something that'll upset that. And I wanted to add to it, if there'd be anything I could add to it. These sisters...

L-6 That brother that sang the song this morning, the colored brother, I appreciated that, The Eye On The Sparrow.

L-7 And these sisters that sang this song, that's been one of my helps since I was here the first time. I have that. I got that on a record, and I've just played it out, I'd Like To Talk It Over With Him. And I asked Brother Dawson Riley there, my friend, if he would, some of them, if they'd see if they get those ladies, if they were still here on earth, to sing it again this morning. And I hope Terry got it. And I suppose he did. I want to take that off there, maybe, to a record or something, 'cause I really like that song. And that's my--my desire, is to talk it over with Him. I think we all want to do that. That's why we're here this morning.

L-8   Now, the oncoming meetings, next week. Is it all right to mention? [A brother says, "Sure."--Ed.] I--I to be home this coming week, at the tabernacle, next Sunday, for Easter service; Saturday night, Sunday, and Sunday night. And then I go back to California. All you people around California, be sure glad to have you at the meeting over there. And I think Billy has sent out the wrong advertisement. Is... He said, "At the Biltmore Hotel," I believe, "it's to be at." It's... [Someone says, "Couldn't get it."] Couldn't get it. And it's at the Eastmont? ["Embassy."] Embassy, the Embassy Hotel. So any of the Full Gospel people over there would let you know, if you're over that way.

L-9 And then we come back from there, and I go to South Africa then. Just one month from today, we sail for South Africa, expecting a great time in the Lord, about three nations down there. So we--we certainly solicit your prayers. I probably won't be able to see you no more, if the Lord carries on for us to go, until I get back. And hope I have a great report for you when we come back.

L-10   Last time down there, I think that the Lord gave me the greatest meeting I ever had. And one time, for an altar call... Now, this is out of blanket natives. As far as I know, there was thirty thousand accepted Christ at one time. And we thought maybe they meant physical healing, because there had been about twenty-five thousand healed at one time. And the next day, the mayor of--of Durban, which is Sydney Smith, said, "Go to your window, look coming down the street." And there were van load after van load, just piled full of old crutches and things, just piled up, that they were coming behind. The natives, which was at war with one another, coming down the streets of the city, singing Only Believe in their native tongue.
