	Isn't it completely out of character for Jesus to behave as outlined in the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas? Jesus freely gave His wisdom to all who would listen and hoped that they in turn would pass on the lessons to others.

	So what is William Branham referring to?		=What does this all mean?=

			So what is William Branham referring to? He seems to give an answer in 1961 and 1963 when he is talking about being challenged by witchdoctors in Germany.

			:''If Brother Arganbright is setting near, he could tell you the story; I was thinking how fifteen witch doctors on one side and fifteen on the other one, called up a storm to blow away the tent in Switzerland, or I believe it was France—Germany. Going to blow away the tent. Told us they was going to do it. And set there and cut those feathers and started going through maneuvers, "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost…?… Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, three high words," they said. All like that, and here come the storm up.'' (William Branham, February 11, 1961)

			:''It's happened in Germany, when them fifteen witch doctors, on each side of me, said… Because Billy and Brother Arganbright wouldn't let them—them see me, they said, "Well, we'll cause that tent to blow away." And they set down there, with their enchantments, and called on their god, the devil, and here he come with a storm. About thirty thousand, forty thousand Germans out there, and that tent just raising up-and-down like this. Them, and then cut, took a scissor and cut a feather, and pointed it back like that. And saying their, going through all their enchantments, and saying the three holy words they say, "The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost; lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-lu! The Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost; lu-lu-lu!" 204 Going like that, and actually the storm come up. Sure. "He's the prince of the powers of the air," Satan. And they called the storm. And, now, even that great big tent setting out like that, oh my, it'd cover about a city block; and it built up, built out of two-by-four's, and just canvas tacked over it. The wind got under there and just raised it, like that. And that wind, and lightning flying like that, I just continually preached. 205 And, oh, they was just going into a big enchantment, going on and on like that, saying those little holy words they said, "The three high holy words: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost," on both sides like that.'' (William Branham, November 10, 1963)

	~~Honestly~~, ~~we don't have a clue.

	~~In 1948, shortly after saying he would repeat three high words to initiate a healing, William Branham prays for a long line of people. The text (somewhat condensed) goes like this:~~

	:''"Father, heal our sister in the Name of Jesus Christ...God, I pray that You'll heal our sister in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen....God, heal our sister in Jesus Christ's Name....Dear God, heal our sister in Jesus' Name...In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth...You shall have it, in Jesus Christ's Name...Father, I pray in Jesus Christ's Name…God, heal this woman, I pray, Father, in Jesus' Name...And heal this man, Father, in Jesus Christ's Name I ask You Father. Heal our brother, Father, in Jesus..."

	~~From these quotes, the only words that are repeated in prayer are "Father", "Lord", "Jesus"and "Christ". Still, these can't be the three high words because these words are commonly known.~~
