TESTIMONIES
Last September I went to see Doctor Weldon Baker of Phoenix, Arizona. He made
two X-rays, one of my colon and one of my chest. He found that I had a bad case
of colitis and that I had an enlarged heart caused from the poison and only
one-fifth of my liver was active. It was hardening and there were several stones
the size of my thumb nail on the right side of my liver. He suggested a diet. I
had taken several treatments from him when I became very sick so one morning Dr.
Anderson came to see me. I asked him if the pain in my side was cancer. He said
it was and I had waited too long before getting help. At this time Dr. Baker
made another X-ray which showed the cancer was worse on the right side than on
the left.
In December I became very sick. My husband sent for my brothers. Dr. Baker
came and the saints were praying for me when he arrived. He told me that I had
been dead for two minutes but that Jesus had heard the cries of the saints. I
was in bed for nine weeks and lost nearly forty pounds.
Brother Outlaw told me about Brother Branham's coming to Phoenix. I attended
the services and saw what the Lord was doing. One morning I was feeling so bad
Brother Outlaw told me to stay where I was, that Brother Branham would pray for
me there. I do not remember when they placed me on the cot. The first thing I
knew, Brother Branham said, "Look at me, Sister." At first it was a faint
whisper but the third time he repeated it I tried to open my eyes and everything
was black. Then he asked me if I belived that an angel came into his room and
told him he would have the power to heal the sick, if the people would believe.
I said, "Yes, for He is right by you at this moment." He said, "Sister, your
faith has saved you. In seventy-two hours you will be very sick and in great
pain, but just believe through it all." As Brother Branham spoke it seemed that
a warm oil started from my head and went to my feet and as it did, the pain
left. I got off the cot shouting and dancing and was able to attend the other
five services in Phoenix.
When the seventy-two hours were up, I became very ill. I walked the floor
because I was suffering so much. I was sick for about two weeks and then I began
to eat anything I wanted whereas I had been living on fruit juices and soup.
Seven weeks after I was prayed for, I had two more X-rays taken that showed I
was entirely healed.. Now my heart is normal size, there is no hardening in my
liver, the ragged places in my colon are smooth and there is no poison in my
bronchial tube.
Dr. Baker said that I might tell all of this and he would gladly show the
X-rays to 'any who would like to see them, or he would talk to them personally.
He told me to look up for help as that was my only hope. I am praising God for
it all.

Dear Brother Branham:
I was healed on February 17 while you were in Houston, Texas. I was a little
afraid at first to be prayed for as I am a Catholic. As I saw other Catholics
being healed, I asked for prayer with enough faith in God that had the devil
himself been on the stage, he could not have prevented God from healing me of
heart trouble and deafness in one ear. I thank Him for it.

Dear Brother Branham:
I want to thank you again for your prayers and the sympathetic interest you
took in me. God bless you. I can't tell you how much you helped me. You gave it
so willingly and I am sure the Lord will repay you as only He can do. Perhaps
you would like to hear just a few of the wonderful testimonies concerning those
who were healed during your visit to Oakland.
Max Garcia told of his mother who had been sick for some time with a chest
pain. Sunday during the service at the auditorium she was very ill but felt that
so many needed help more than she did so she did not get in line. As you were
praying for the others, she was healed. She had been converted and Tuesday night
while you were telling the story of your life, she received the Holy Spirit.
Also Tuesday night a crippled girl at the back of the hall received her
healing. She praised the Lord and danced for joy.
Mrs. Finley told of a lady friend who came to the meeting with a severe case
of arthritis of the spine. The first night, she confessed later, she did not
believe what you were saying and criticized you harshly in her heart. She came
again to the auditorium. As you were explaining the sixth, sense, she grasped it
and began to repent and ask the Lord to forgive her attitude. As she prayed
there in her seat, the Lord healed her.
A young minister, Brother Jackson, said that Friday night when he bowed his
head during the prayer, there appeared to him three dark mountain peaks. The
word "faith" came in fiery letters at the bottom of each and as you would pray
for each case the word "faith" would move toward the top of the peaks. When it
reached the top, it would burst into flame and you would say, "The vibration has
stopped."
Brother Branham, we have been wonderfully blessed and encouraged by the
things we have seen and experienced during this time and we are inspired by the
beautiful example of humility and compassion which we felt in you.
Again I say with all my heart, "Thank you and may the Lord Jesus abundantly
bless you."

Dear Brother Branham:
I want to praise the Lord for healing me in one of your meetings in Houston,
Texas. I started failing in health four years ago and was steadily growing
worse. I had lost fifty pounds in weight. I kept growing weaker until almost all
of my strength was gone. My heart was in a very bad condition and at times it
would almost stop beating. I had lost eight month's work on account of my
condition. I went to the doctor and upon examining me, he found that I had a
goiter in my throat. He said there was only one chance for me and that was an
operation, but unless I could build up some I would not live over it.
I heard of the wonderful things that God was doing in Houston so decided to
go and see for myself. The second night, I was prayed for. I started improving
right away and in a few weeks my goiter was completely gone. I have been
steadily gaining in weight. My strength is returning and I have gone back to
work and am feeling fine. I know it was the Lord that healed me so I am praising
Him for it.

Dear Brother Kidson:
A number of us went to Jonesboro Arkansas, last fall when Brother Branham was
there. Our little granddaughter had been blind in one eye and the Lord healed
her. She now can see just as good out of one as the other. Now we are anxious
for Brother Branham to come to Tennessee.
