||'''[[Three holy words]]'''. William Braham said he had to say them before a person was healed. He said that no mortal knows those words.

William Braham said he received forgiveness...and the diseases on his card came on him...and he died 6 months later...and he remained bedridden to this day...and he died a year later...and he remained in a serious condition...and he became paralyzed...and he died 6 weeks later...and he remains paralyzed. This story changes so much it is unclear whether there is any truth behind it. | |||
