Followers of William Branham will often tell the story of the miraculous healing of Florence Nightingale. What happenedIn January, 1950, F.F. Bosworth showed William Branham a picture of a dying woman which had been sent by Florence Nightingale of Durban, South Africa. She was a mere skeleton because she suffered from cancer at the entrance of the stomach and weighed only about fifty pounds. She wrote for him to come to South Africa to pray for her, sending along her picture and plane ticket. Eight weeks later the Branham party landed in England on their way to Finland. It was at this time that William Branham said that he prayed for the King of England. Just after they landed, they were told that she had also just arrived in London and were requested to come to the hotel where she was as those with her thought she was dying. The Branham party went to the hotel and they all, including a minister of the Church of England as well as her nurses, knelt and began to pray for her. Eight months after William Branham prayed her, he received another picture from her. At this time she was a perfect picture of health and weighed 155 pounds..."[1] William Branham tells of Florence Nightingale's healingThink of Florence Nightingale, her grandmother, the founder of the Red Cross, was about sixty pounds of weight, laid dying yonder with a cancer on the duodenal of the stomach, laying there dying. A little dove flew into the bush there and the Spirit of God come and said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, she shall live." And she weighs a hundred and fifty-five pounds in perfect health.[2] Another example of William Branham exaggerating the factsWilliam Branham's stories are renowned for their inaccuracy and he certainly demonstrates that here. He states that the Florence Nightingale that he prayed for was the granddaughter of the famed nurse, Florence Nightingale, the founder of the Red Cross. However, it is well know that Florence Nightingale never married and never had children. And while the founder of the Red Cross, Henry Dunant. was certainly inspired by the famous nurse, she did not have anything to do with the founding of the Red Cross. It is interesting as well that William Branham constantly took credit for Florence Nightingale's healing, when there were a number of people present that prayed for her. The one that truly healed her was Jesus Christ. References
