12 Lyle was setting in
the boat there that day, when the day before it was told him that
"something" was "going to happen concerning a resurrection of life." He
was a real Jehovah Witness, too! But that morning, setting there,
fishing, and he caught… Well, he had a great, big ol' (that Kentucky
fashion, you know)… a big hook and a little, bitty fish swallowed it.
And he just pulled gills, entrails and all out, throwed it out on the
water (little, bitty sunfish), and he said, "Well, little fellow, you
shot your last wad." The little… flipping along on the water, died, the
wind blowed him up into some pond lilies.
13 And the day before, setting, I said, "The Holy Spirit tells me that
'there'll be a resurrection of some little creature.' Perhaps there'd be
a—a kitten, when I get back home, 'cause just…"
14 When we was trying to dig some fish bait, Brother Woods and I, who's
listening in tonight, my little girl which is a young woman setting
here, engaged to this lanky soldier (I see him), she come up, she said,
"Daddy…" Her and the other little girl, said, "We…" Now, anybody can
have any kind of pet they want, but I sure don't like a cat, so she… or
no Branham. So we… she said, "Oh, we found a poor ol' cat out here,
Daddy. It's—it—it's eat something and it's… somebody's poisoned it, it's
all swelled up." Said, "Daddy, it's going to die right away, can we get
a little box and keep it a couple days?"
15 I said, "Let me see the cat." Well, they went and got the cat. I seen
what was going to happen, so give her a box. And next morning, was
about seven or eight kittens there, you know. So my little boy, Joe,
picked one of them up, and squeezed it and dropped it on the ground; and
just—just… little fellow lay there wiggling around and around, killed
it.
16 And I said to Brother Lyle, his brother, I said, "You know, it may be
that it'd be that little kitten raised up, like we have seen the Lord
do things."
17 Brother Lyle, just new in the way. The Holy Spirit had just told him
he was married, and what he had done, and the evils he had done, the
things he had done. Well, he thought Brother Banks was telling me them
things. But when It really brought him right out, and told him what he
done the night before, that was—that was too much for him. He couldn't
get it.
18 Then, the next morning… While we fished all night, with little fish,
we was catching some for bait. But he just throwed that little fish in
the water, quivered, flabbed over. About a half hour later we were
setting there, and I was… I said, "Brother Lyle, you let the fish
swallow the hook all the way down in his stomach. See?" I said, "Take
the fly line here, flip it over, the bait out like that; just soon as he
touch it," I said "then just hold him and then bring him in." I said,
"He… don't pull him out like that, don't swallow it, you catch the
fish."
19 He said, "Well…" He had a great, big ol' line hanging over, said,
"This is the way we do it," like that.
20 So, just about that time, I heard Something coming off the top of the
mountain up there, a whirlwind, whirling around and around. Here It
come down like that, and the Spirit of God come over the boat, said,
"Stand up on your feet." Said, "Speak to that dead fish. Say, 'I give
you back your life.'"
21 And that little fish had been laying there for a half hour, with his
entrails in its mouth, and its gills. I said, "Little fishy, Jesus
Christ gives you back your life. Live, in the Name of Jesus Christ."
Flipped over on his back, and down through the water he went as hard as
he could go.
22 Brother Lyle, are you here somewhere? I—I seen you last night.
Whether he's inside, outside, or where he's at, raise your hand if I can
see you. [Someone in congregation says, "Balcony"—Ed.] What say? In the
bal-… Oh, yes, way up in the balcony, through the windows back there.
That's the man, a Jehovah Witness.
23 He said, "Brother Branham!" He was all excited, he said, "Uh,
it's—it's good to be here. Isn't it?" He said, "Uh-uh, do you—do you…
Uh, do you think that meant me, that—that—that, that I called that
little fish, said, 'You had shot your last wad'?" Said, "That—that—that
meant something for me?"
24 I said, "Nah, nah, just a confirmation." He was all upset about it.
25 Well, we travel along and you see those things happening, knowing…
Now, just think, what was it to show? I had a-many little spastic child
on my prayer list, praying for it, but when the vision come it was for a
little ol' fish about so long, about two inches long or three. Looked
like the hook was as big as the fish. But what it was, was to show you
that God looks on the little things too. See?
