• How many of you know Brother Branham loved to hunt? Yes, he loved to hunt! It was time for him to have Quiet Time all alone with God, in the woods. The Lord would speak to him there, and many times the Lord would give Brother Branham things to tell US! There are many special stories from when God’s prophet went hunting. He loved to come back to Indiana to take a rest during that time. Does anyone know when squirrel season begins in Indiana? Yes, August 15th.

• We are going to be talking about two VERY special times when Brother Branham went squirrel hunting. The first time something was ever spoken into existence during Brother Branham’s ministry was while he was out squirrel hunting! Do you know what he spoke into existence? Yes, squirrels! This means that the squirrels were not there before, but after Brother Branham SPOKE THE WORD, they were there! Now, the first time was on October 10, 1959. Brother Branham was hunting in Salem, Indiana.

Pages #3 & 4

• Now, it was late in the hunting season. A lot of the leaves were off the trees, and it was a very windy morning. Those are bad conditions to be squirrel hunting! But while Brother Branham was out hunting, he had been thinking on a certain special Scripture.
  Let's turn in our Bibles to Mark 11:23-24. This is Jesus speaking...

Read Mark 11:23-24

• Amen! If we just SAY it and don’t doubt we can have what we desire! Let us hear Brother Branham describe this SPECIAL morning for us. Listen closely as only a portion of the quote is printed in the book.
  
  

  Quote #1 (2 mins 17 secs):

  
  84 .....On that morning, of the 10th which would be…Then, on the 18th, the season would close in Indiana, we would have no more squirrel hunting.
  85 So I said, “This will be the last time I can go out.” And we gathered a bunch together, and I strayed them around the woods. I went way back, up into a place where I love to go, at Salem. Season was late. Squirrels were few. I had been out several times, just getting one squirrel at a time.
  86 So, this morning, I made my way to the same woods, and a wind rose and begin to blow. And anyone who hunts, knows that’s a bad morning. I hunted all the woods through, without seeing one squirrel, or hearing one. I went down into a creek bottom, and started up to find another little scope of woods. And as I drew near this little wood, there was a—a lot of walnut trees, and locust trees, the leaves all off of them, just a bare thicket. Along beside them, two sycamore trees. Now, squirrels don’t hang around sycamores. But right up from it, I seen, looked like, I got the glimpse…I caught the glimpse of a squirrel going up through the woods, but he was running fast.
  87 “Oh,” I said, “there’s no need of hunting. Here is people out here, the farmers picking their corn, right around this little woods. The squirrels would not be here.” So I sit down between the two trees, and propped my feet up on one and leaned back against the other, in the warm sunshine. I thought, “I’ll just take a little nap, then I’ll get Brother Banks, and Brother Sothmann, and the boys, as I go back, and down the road. And as I sit there… [Brother Branham coughs two times—Ed.] Pardon me.
  88 As I sit there, under the tree, just got snugged down, and the warm sun shining on me. Something said, “If you say to this mountain, ‘Be thou plucked up and cast into the sea,’ and shall not doubt in your heart, but believe that those things that you’ve said will come to pass, you can have what you’ve said.”
  89 I said, “Well, now, there is that Scripture in my mind again.”
  59-1115 - My New Ministry


• As Brother Branham was thinking on that Scripture, “a real deep, sweet anointing of the Holy Spirit came.” Something began speaking to him…

  
  Quote #2 (1 min 39 secs):

  
  98 Just then a real deep, sweet anointing of the Holy Spirit raised me, like, off of my feet, and said, “Say what you will, and it shall be given unto you.”
  99 I stood there, amazed. It left me. I had nothing. I thought, “Well, what could I say? There’s no sick people here. There’s nothing here. I’m in the woods. What could I say? What—what—what could I do?” And I thought, “Am I losing my mind? Have I studied so hard till my mental powers are cracking up?”
  100 And just then I heard It, just the same as you hear me, said, “Aren’t you hunting, and you have no game?” Said, “Speak anything that you wish.”
  101 Well, I thought this, “God said, ‘Prove all things.’” I said, “Lord God, if that be You, and this is a sign that You’re fixing to change my ministry from those visions, to something greater, that I’ve looked for so long,” I said, “let it come to pass that You’ll answer my prayer.” And I stood there a little bit. And I thought, “What did He say? He didn’t say, ‘Pray.’ He said, ‘Say what you will. Just say it, and your words will materialize. Say to this mountain, and it’ll do just as you say.’”
  59-1115 - “My New Ministry”


• What did the Voice say to him? Did It say ‘pray’ or ‘say’? Right! SAY it! And it will materialize. Just “Speak The Word!” And it will be!
• Brother Branham was hunting and there weren’t any squirrels. He didn’t have any game to hunt…

  Quote #3 (1 min):

  
  39 I looked around, I thought, “I’ll find something impossible.” And I found that old locust thicket; I said… I usually set my sights in for fifty yards. I… The Lord… I’m not a shot, but I—I—if my gun won’t drive a tack at fifty yards, it’s out. So then, I was… I shoot squirrels, never shoot one with his back turned, or head turned; I got to see him just right and shoot him in the eye with a .22 rifle. Now, if it don’t, let him go. So then…And I said, “There’s fifty yards,” about the distance across this building; I said, “And there shall come a young red squirrel and set on that old naked limb out yonder and I’ll shoot him from right here.” And there come the squirrel. I turned the gun, aimed up, through the little telescope sight I seen its eye, shot it, dropped down. I walked over to look at it; I thought, “It’s bleeding; a vision don’t bleed.” And I—I looked at it, picked the squirrel up, felt it; it was a real squirrel. I got real scared.
  59-1123 - “Speak To This Mountain”


• Wow! He spoke that squirrel somewhere where it would be impossible for a squirrel to be, in a locust thicket out on an “old naked limb.” What color squirrel did he say would come? Red.

Quote #4


40 So I started to walk away, I thought, “But a squirrel out here in this locust thicket? Well, they’d be back over yonder in the woods. They wouldn’t walk out there like that, and I been hunting all morning.” So I stood there just a little bit, and I said, “Lord, if that was You, the Bible said, two or three witness is a confirmation. It can’t happen a second time.” So I walked up side the hill and set down, and I said, “Now, here I’m acting crazy.” And I said, “Well, I—I’ll just get ready and go home now.” I said, “It’ll…” But I thought, “Believe I’ll try it.” And I said, “And there shall come another squirrel and set over there in them bunch of grapevines, right there.” I took my finger down and looked back; I didn’t see any squirrel. I said, “Well, ma…” Looked back,” and I thought, “what is that there?” Pulled up my telescope, and there set a squirrel looking right at me, fifty yards away. I shot the squirrel, walked over picked him up, see if it was a vision, but it—it wasn’t a vision, it was a squirrel. I eat them. So they…And I—I picked up that one, and I thought, “Oh, my.” I just felt real funny. I thought, “Two, but You said three.”

• Now he has two squirrels, and he knew they weren't visions because he ate the squirrels!

  Quote #5 (min 57 secs):

  
  41 “Well,” I thought, “I’ll make this one so radical that it—it—it’ll have to be something supernatural. And I looked out in the field, towards the field there’s just a big old slick snag out there with one big old limb run out. And I said, “And it shall come to pass there will be a young squirrel go out on that limb, set on the end of the limb and look over at the farmers cutting their corn,” shucking their corn, “and I’ll kill him from this tree right here. It shall be that way.”
  42 I stood there a minute, no squirrel, looked back. About five minutes passed, no squirrel. “Well,” I said… I thought, “Well, this is enough. Anyhow, it’s getting time for me to go.” I said, “I better go.” And I started to walk away, and as I did Something said, “But you’ve already spoke it. And the Scripture says ‘If you’ll not doubt in your heart but believe that what you have said…’” Hallelujah. I waited up against the side of a tree. I looked off, looked back; there no squirrel. I waited another ten minutes, no squirrel. I said, “How could a squirrel ever get out there?” So I said, “Well, I guess I’ll just move along, and I’ll be going home because it’s time to pick up Mr. Sothmann and them, so I’ll just walk on.” I started to walk away like that. Said, “Are you doubting?” God knows how to school you. “Are you doubting that what you said?” I said, “No, I’m not doubting.” And just as I said that, coming out that limb come a young squirrel, walked out to the end of the limb, and stood looked over at the farmers. I shot him from right there, making my three squirrels. And I said, “I’m going to see if there’s another squirrel in this territory.” And I was about three hours late picking up Mr. Sothmann and them, couldn’t even hear one. I went home. I told them. It bothered me. I didn’t know what to think about it.
  59-1123 - “Speak To This Mountain”


• Wow! So it happened for the third time! He made it radical! What did he say that squirrel would do? “And I said, ‘And it shall come to pass there will be a young squirrel go out on that limb, set on the end of the limb and look over at the farmers cutting their corn,’ shucking their corn, ‘and I’ll kill him from this tree right here. It shall be that way.‘“ He even walked around for three hours afterwards to see if there were any other squirrels in the territory.
• Brother Branham spoke three red squirrels into existence. Each time the squirrels appeared and did just how he said they would do. Did this third one appear right away? Noo…Brother Branham had to wait several minutes, didn’t he. What did Jesus say in Mark 11:23, the Scripture Brother Branham was thinking on? “…whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed,…and shall not doubt, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.” Whatsoever he saith! You see sometimes things don’t happen right away for us when we ask Jesus for something. But if we are patient and don’t doubt, it HAS to come to pass. Only Believe!

Quote #7 (2 mins 35 secs):

Turn to Pages #13 & 14 during quote as Brother Branham says, “I leaned up against a little tree...”


43 About two weeks later I was down in the state of Kentucky where squirrel season was still in, with friends of mine, Mr. Wood and his brother-in-law. And I was standing down there, and we went hunting that morning. And oh, windy, and the leaves all off the trees, bad time to squirrel hunt. So we…Good hunters wasn’t catching over about one a day. And—and you had to be—have a shotgun to get them with it then, and me hunt…[Blank spot on tape—Ed.] “And you shall have them.” And I thought, “Now, here, I don’t—I don’t know about that now. It’s too unlikely this morning, sure enough, and not no squirrels in here at this time of year. And it so cold we had on so many clothes I was just shivering as hard as I could. I thought, “No squirrels.” Leaves about that deep on the ground, you could hear you like a—a herd of antelope coming through. And so I was walking along like that, and it struck me again and said, “Ask what you will.” And I stopped, and put my gun down, took off my hat, and I said, “Heavenly Father, I’m down here in these mountains; what—what’s these things about? Is that You speaking to me? Is it You, Lord. Where are You at? I usually see that—Your Light, where are You at? Speak to me, Lord. If there’s anything You want me to do, I’ll do it. Have I found grace in Your sight?” I said, “I…Just speak to me.” And said, “Ask what you will, and it’ll be given to you.” I said, “Then if that be You, I shall have my three squirrels this morning, gray squirrels.” That’s reds in Indiana. And I said, “I shall have my three squirrels.” ... “One will come from that WAY, one from that WAY, and one back this a WAY.” Make it radical. God don’t care how radical it seems. He’s God of circumstance.” Something said, “Which way will they come from?” And I thought, “There it is.” I could hear it just as plain as you hear me.” And I said, “One will come from this a way; one will come from back that way; and one will come from that way.”
44 I leaned up against a little tree and waited a few minutes. I didn’t see any squirrels, getting late, time to go back almost. I looked back across the hill and way up, about a hundred and twenty-five yards. I guess, I seen something look like it was on a stump.” A gray squirrel is very small. I looked through the little telescope, and I couldn’t tell if it was a squirrel or not. I kept watching it; it jumped off the stump, started down by the side of a tree. Well, that’s an awful long shot. But I just knelt down on my knee and laid my gun across the side of my hand, killed the squirrel.

Pages #13 & 14

• Wow! It happened again! That sweet, super Anointing came and told Brother Branham to just SPEAK IT! How many squirrels did he say he was going to get this time? Right, three! What color were the squirrels to be this time in Kentucky? Gray. This really seemed impossible! It was SO cold. He was all bundled up and shivering! There wouldn’t have been ANY squirrels-- until he Spoke The Word. How long of a shot was this first squirrel? One hundred and twenty-five yards. That’s a lot longer shot than fifty yards.

44 I said, “That then, the next one will have to come from this a way.” So I just turned myself on the tree, and I said, “It’ll come this a way.” I waited about fifteen minutes, here come a squirrel. So I throwed another shell up in the gun and leveled down. Just as I started to level down the second squirrel come. I said, “Oh, praise the Lord; there’s the second one; there they are.” So I raised up, shot the first one, killed him right dead, hit him right through the eye.

• Brother Branham was about to shoot his second squirrel in Kentucky, he turned to the direction he said his next squirrel would be, and after fifteen minutes he saw it! As he was just about to shoot his second squirrel, he saw another squirrel appear. He shot his second squirrel, and he THOUGHT the other squirrel that came up at the same time would be the third squirrel he spoke for. But let’s hear what happens with this squirrel…

Quote #9 (45 secs):


45 And then—then this other squirrel run jumped up on a log, and it run over the log, picked up a hickory nut and started eating it, just a perfect shot about fifty yards. I thought, “There’s my second squirrel, that’s one, two, three, just what I asked for.” I laid my gun down and shot, and I hit the log. Now, out of about a hundred and forty nine squirrels this year, I’ve only missed five shots. So then, I thought, “How did I miss that squirrel?” Never scared him, he jumped up, run back down at the other side of the log and stood and looked around. I put another shell in, I thought, “I’ll sure get him this time.” I leveled down, right across—the hair right across his eye, pulled the trigger; I hit about two foot under him. I said, “My, this gun’s out. There’s something wrong with this gun,” not thinking.
59-1123 - “Speak To This Mountain”


• He kept missing that squirrel! He thought something was wrong with his gun. He thought he had knocked his scope out. Then Something said…



Quote #10 (20 secs):


128 And just then it come to me. “You can’t shoot that squirrel that way. He was to come from that way.” God’s Word is perfect. Couldn’t shoot him from the south. He was coming from the north. 129 “Oh,” I said, “I’ll just turn around this way, then, and watch north till he comes.”

• Amen! God’s Word is perfect! Brother Branham had spoken that the squirrel would be coming from the north, and the squirrel with the hickory nut came from the south, so he could not get that one. It had to be just exactly how he had spoken it!

Pages #17 & 18

• Now it is getting late in the day, and it was getting dark outside. Brother Branham thought he would head back, but something said to him, “Aren’t you going to go up there and get that squirrel?” He thought, how would he see it? And the Voice told him to, “Turn and go back towards the north. Your squirrel is there.” Remember, he had spoken he was to get THREE squirrels!



Quote #11 (1 min 38 secs):


46.....So I went over and picked my squirrels up and started home. And it was real dark in the hollow. And I started down through the hollow, Something said to me, “What about that other squirrel?” And I said, “Well, I—I—I’ve already got two, and so it’s too late now; I can’t even see through my scope hardly (See?), too late to get one now.” And I started on down; Something said, “Turn and go back and get the other squirrel. You’ve already said it.” So I turned, and I hadn’t walked about ten steps (Now, listen close.) and I seen a squirrel run up a tree about sixty or seventy yards from me. So dark it had to be just the light across the top of the mountain or I wouldn’t have seen him. And I—I leveled the gun down. I couldn’t see the squirrel, kept looking back and forth. I thought, “Where’s he at?”
47 After while looked like a knot on the tree stuck around, I thought, “That’s his head.” So I shot. The squirrel run down the tree and I heard something hit the leaves; I thought, “He must have jumped off.” And about that time, about fifteen yards from it, another squirrel run up a tree. I said, “That was that squirrel, I missed him, he run around, run up that tree.” So I watched real close. It was so dark and the wind blowing so hard. I thought I seen some leaves with something moving; I thought, “Well, I’m—I’m going to shoot at it anyhow.” And I shot, I heard that squirrel hit the ground, plunk. It really killed him right out. Well, I said, “I missed him on that tree, but got him over here, just a little bit out of line.” I said, “I’ll go over and get him.” So I walked on up the hill, and when I got to this first tree, there laid my squirrel, the first one, right in line, exactly way I pointed. God in heaven knows that’s true. Right the way I pointed… Well, I went over, I said, “Well, that makes me four, He give me one for good measure. That’s good.” I said, “I said three and I got four; that’s good.”
59-1123 - “Speak To This Mountain”


• Okay, so what happened? It was getting SO dark! Brother Branham saw two squirrels and shot twice. For a few minutes he thought maybe he had shot twice at the same squirrel, but when he went to get the FIRST ONE, he realized that he had actually shot two squirrels! It was right “IN LINE” of the way he had pointed. He realized the Lord had given him ONE MORE squirrel for “good measure.” So he found the third squirrel he spoke into existence. It was right in line. BUT he couldn’t find that fourth squirrel the Lord had given him. He looked ALL over, under leaves and in a log but could not find that squirrel. He knew he had shot it!

Pages #19 & 20

• Brother Branham headed back to meet with the other brothers and told them about what the Lord had done and about not being able to find that fourth squirrel. There was one brother there by the name of Tony Zabel who prayed a prayer before they all went to bed that night.
• It did not set right with Brother Branham. Brother Tony was doubting what Brother Branham had told them about the squirrels, and he prayed for Brother Branham to find that fourth squirrel in the log the next day so they would know what Brother Branham had told them was the truth, even though Brother Branham never said that the squirrel was in the log…Do we doubt our prophet? No, we believe every word he says, because the Word of the Lord comes to the prophet! Even if we do not understand, we Only Believe.



Quote #12 (23 secs):


“I goes over to find the other squirrell, he wasn’t there. And I looked, and I looked, and I searched under leaves and raised up little pieces of chunk, and tore open an old log. And there wasn’t but one log laying within thirty yards, and I tore it all to pieces. Looked under the sides, and held my hands in the leaves, and felt. There was no squirrel there, nowhere.”

Quote #13 (8 secs):


“I felt in there, and I thought I felt my squirrel, raising up and down. When I was…I said, ‘Well, I can’t get to him. So, in the morning, I’ll bring the boys back and get it.’”
59-1115 - My New Ministry


• So the next day Brother Branham was worried that he wouldn’t find the fourth squirrel. He knew that if he didn’t find it, Brother Tony would think he had told a lie. But let’s see what happens the next day as Brother Branham goes back to try to find the squirrel.



Quote #14 (1 min):


149 And I went on. Something just drove me on. And I went walking up through the woods, hunting. I kept thinking, “What if that squirrel isn’t in there?” He gave me his hunting knife, so I could cut the hole bigger, to reach in and get it.
150 And Something said to me, “If it isn’t there, or if it is in there, what makes the difference?”
151 I said, “He will…He wouldn’t believe me. He prayed and said, that, ‘If we find the squirrel, you’ll know that our brother has told us the truth.’”
152 And that great Anointing come, said, “Just say the squirrel will be up there, and you’ll get him.”
153 I thought, “Surely, Lord, surely this will be seven times, straight, while this Anointing is on me.” I said, “Is that You?”
He said, “Say what you will.”
I said, “I shall find that squirrel...”
59-1115 - My New Ministry


• It happened again! Brother Branham spoke that he would find the squirrel! This would be seven times that he had spoken something. Brother Branham knew he would find it. It had been spoken! But when he went up there, he couldn’t find it anywhere. He tried kicking around the leaves and tore open the log with a pocket knife that the brother had given him, but still he couldn’t find it. And then all of a sudden…



Quote #15 (1 min 4 secs):


156 And Something said, “Did not you say you would find the squirrel?” I said, “Where would I find him?”
157 God being my solemn judge, with His Word here. And I’m a man of fifty years old, a preacher of the Gospel, standing in this pulpit. Something said, “Look under that little piece of bark.”
158 I said, “Lord, I wouldn’t doubt You for nothing.” I walked over and picked up the bark, and there was no squirrel there. I thought I… Just before I did it, something said, “What if he isn’t there?”
159 I said, “Oh, he’ll be there.” I picked it up and there was no squirrel there. I looked down, with amazement. I saw a little bitty piece of gray sticking out from under a leaf. I pulled it up, and there laid the squirrel. Making it just exactly right, what He had said to do.
160 Down the hill I went and told them about it, and we rejoiced.
59-1115 - My New Ministry


• Praise the Lord! He found the fourth squirrel just as he had spoken, and the Lord even told him where to look. It happened seven times on an animal, including the squirrels he spoke in Indiana.

• Now, that happened with an animal, but did you know it has happened with a human being before also? Yes! It sure did! How many of you have heard Brother Branham tell the story of Sister Hattie? Sister Hattie was just a poor, old widow woman. Her husband had died, and she was raising her two sons all by herself. They were poor and she had to work very hard to make her living.
• Well, one week after the squirrels, on November 14, 1959 in Depauw, Indiana, Brother Branham and Brother Banks Wood were down at their friend Brother George Wright’s house. It was just an old home with clapboard shingles. On that afternoon they were having a good time! They loved Brother Branham! It’s good to love God’s prophets! They really made him feel welcome. Sister Hattie and Sister Wright had a bunch of good food prepared like beans, cornbread, and sliced onions. They knew he liked that. Sister Wright even baked Brother Branham a big cherry cobbler!

Quote #16 (36 secs):


56 And so then, I was talking like that. And I said, “Now, if the Lord would tell me a certain thing would happen like little—your little cripple sister setting here, little Edith… And they were poor people, but I was welcome. Had old—big old bowl of beans, pinto beans baked with corn bread, and sliced onions. And can I eat that. So I was raised on it. And I was just eating away and having a good time. And mother Wright had baked me a big cherry cobbler, you know, and out of the little tree that I used to help her pick it out of there. Mr. Wright’s in his eighties, and she’s seventy something with that afflicted girl. So I—I’d just do anything for those people I could.

• As they were there in that little humble home, Brother Branham was testifying of what the Lord had done for him while he was squirrel hunting. He was explaining what faith was. He asked them, “What put those squirrels there?” Brother Branham said ,”...they were in the most ridiculous place and in the most ridiculous way I could call them.” He was telling them there was no way for those squirrels to be there. Remember, it was cold and windy and no leaves on the trees when Brother Branham went hunting, but he knew that the Lord was able to provide squirrels just as the Lord provided Abraham a ram when he was on the mountain going to sacrifice his son. While he was talking like that, Sister Hattie was in the back sitting quietly as she listened to Brother Branham testify. Let’s hear what happens…

Quote #18 (3 min 15 secs):


59 I said, “then the same Jehovah-jireh… I was in need of a squirrel the same as he was in need of a ram, and I believe Jehovah-jireh placed it there by His same spoken Word. It wasn’t me anyhow, ’cause I didn’t know what I was saying. He said it Himself.”
60 And little old quiet Sister Hattie, setting back there, little dust bonnet on like the country women wear there. And she’d put on a little clean dress to come over to help her mother cook me a dinner. And she was setting with her hand like this, and she said, “That’s nothing but the Truth.” She said the right thing. Here’s my Bible, and as a servant of God, I say this. I could hardly hear the last she said. Her mother was trying to say something, but I didn’t get it. I… Just as she said that, she said the right thing. The Spirit of the Lord said to me, “Tell her to ask what she will, and you give it to her.” I—I couldn’t speak. That room, everybody, felt strange. I said, “Sister Hattie.” She said, “Yes, Brother Branham.” I said, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, speak anything that you desire; I don’t care what it is. If you want to know that God’s give this ministry, speak anything that you desire. THUS SAITH THE LORD, if you’ll speak it, I’ll speak it behind you and you’ll have it right here.” Eight people standing there looking… She said, “Brother Branham, what shall I say?” I said, “It’s up to you.”
61 There set her crippled sister, her aged father. She was poor; she could ask for—for money. She could’ve asked for anything she wanted to. I said, “Ask anything that’s in your heart, anything that you want to; you ask it, and THUS SAITH THE LORD, I’ll speak it behind you and you’ll have it.” She said, “The salvation of my two boys.” I said, “You have it, in the Name of the Lord.” And those two little modern teen-age snicklefritz boys, that had hated the very cause of Christ grabbed one another and begin to scream the blessings of God. The power of God struck that place. Banks fell into his plate. I don’t know what happened for about ten minutes. Friend, do you realize what that was? I have never in all my life had felt such anointing. The first time it was ever performed on a human being, it bypassed aristocrats, it bypassed everything else, and went to a poor little old widow woman living up on the hill there. And God knowed what she’d ask. Her two boys was gloriously saved the very minute it was spoken. If she’d have asked for ten thousand dollars, it’d have been given to her. If she’d have asked for her sister’s healing, it’d been given to her. Anything she would’ve asked, it would’ve been given to her.
59-1123 - “Speak To This Mountain”


• Wow! What happened? What did Sister Hattie say? Yes, “That’s nothing but the Truth.” She had said the right thing. Because of what she said, the Lord told Brother Branham to tell her to ask for anything that was on her heart and it would be given to her. She just had to speak it! She was poor and could have asked for ten thousand dollars, or she could have asked for the healing of her sister Edith. Her sister was crippled and very sickly, but what did she ask for? Right, the salvation of her two sons! The Lord knew she’d ask for the right thing. Their souls were more valuable than any amount of money. When she spoke it and Brother Branham spoke it behind her, the power of God struck the place where they were sitting, and her two boys fell across her lap crying!


• Brother Wood even fell into his plate. Brother Branham didn’t even know what happened for about ten minutes because the power of God was so strong. The first time it ever happened on a human being!

• In this last day, Jesus lives in us! We are His temple where He dwells. And it is truly God in human flesh. We are the manifested sons and daughters of God, that perfect ripened fruit at the top of the Bride Tree. So when we speak something and don’t doubt in our hearts, it HAS to come to pass! All we have to do is “Speak The Word!” Remember, it doesn’t always happen right away, but it WILL happen if we ONLY BELIEVE! Do we believe our prophets? Yes! Just like Sister Hattie, we say, “It’s nothing but the Truth!”
