Between 1958 and 1959, there was a man from Ireland who went by the name of Gordon Magee who went to Brother Outlaw's church. He taught that before the end time there should be a return to the ministry of the prophet Elijah. My wife Tillie and I started to pray. We knew we were in the end time, so where was this prophet? | Between 1958 and 1959, there was a man from Ireland who went by the name of Gordon Magee who went to Brother Outlaw's church.

While we were praying about this, a fellow asked to store a bunch of Brother Branham's preaching tapes at my brother Alan's house. He started listening to them, then gave me some of them. After hearing two or three, Tillie and I said that was what we were looking for and praying for. So we put our names on the mailing list and started receiving tapes regularly. This happened in 1960. | |||

:The Message that Brother Branham brought was revolutionary. It was an eye opener. When that discernment began, no one could stand before him and deceive him. No one could lie or hide anything from him. I saw his position in the Scriptures and it was very tremendous. The revelations that Brother Branham brought in messages like The False Anointed Ones, Marriage and Divorce and so on, were THUS SAITH THE LORD. Some of them were like tremendous bombs for us. It changed our way of thinking and understanding; opened our eyes to what will happen at the time of the end and the Rapture. | :The Message that Brother Branham brought was revolutionary.

:Alan, Robert and I, we found this little jeep. A man had completely dismantled it and rebuilt it from scratch, placing a Chevrolet Corvette engine. He was really dolled up. | :Alan, Robert and I, we found this little jeep. A man had completely dismantled it and rebuilt it from scratch, placing a Chevrolet Corvette engine.

We lost our brother Jim in a plane crash and his widow wanted to help with the purchase of the vehicle, so we bought the jeep and took it to Brother Branham. First we went to Brother Billy Paul and told him it was for Brother Branham. He got in the jeep and we went to Brother Branham's house. | |||
When Brother Branham left, he said, "No, I can't accept it." Well, we told you that we hadn't gone there to have to carry him home, period. Then he went to his car window, reached for the checkbook on the dashboard and said, "Let me write a check." | :We lost our brother Jim in a plane crash and his widow wanted to help with the purchase of the vehicle, so we bought the jeep and took it to Brother Branham.

Alan said, "Well, Brother Branham, when you set up a tent and start those tent meetings, we would like to be able to help you." Brother Branham stopped for a moment, then said, "No matter what you do, when the tent is set up, you will be there." That was what he said. | |||

:He always made you feel like the most important, and that he was privileged and honored to be with you. He had that ability. It was not a pretense, it was genuine. | :He always made you feel like the most important, and that he was privileged and honored to be with you. He had that ability.

He also had an incredible sense of humor. A few months after we gave him the jeep, he was speaking at the Full Gospel International Businessmen's Fellowship (CIHNEC) convention at the Ramada Inn in Phoenix. I met him at the entrance before breakfast and he was telling me how he loved the jeep. He said: "I got 150 km / h with him". You know how he always told Brother Billy Paul about driving fast. | |||

:Soon we were eating and Brother Branham was a few chairs away. I leaned over and said, "Hey, Brother Branham, how fast did you get with that jeep?" He looked quickly to see if Brother Billy Paul, who was sitting after me, had heard, and placed his finger on his lips: "Shhh". He did not want Brother Billy Paul to know that he had reached 150 km / h. | :Soon we were eating and Brother Branham was a few chairs away.

:Once, we were hunting with Brother Branham at Mount Sunset, it was about 10:30 pm and he was building a fire. He had been unshaven for three days, soot on his hands and an old black hat on his head. I remember walking away a little, watching him, and saying a little prayer of thanks in my heart for that humble little man who was lighting the fire, while I noticed the enormous responsibilities that fell on him. Branham paid a great price to bring this Message to us. He certainly paid. It cost him a lot. It cost him his whole life. | :Once, we were hunting with Brother Branham at Mount Sunset, it was about 10:30 pm and he was building a fire.

In the spring of 1965, he went hunting for lions in Utah, with Alan and another brother. Our wives had prepared dinner for them at Alan's house when they returned, and after they ate, Brother Branham was driving to the truck; that's when he asked us to get him a plane. | |||

:He was very sincere, said that we would know what kind of plane we would take, and that he would pay all expenses. Then he explained in detail how he planned to hold two-week meetings, and then, when the tent was being set up elsewhere, he and some of the other brothers would go out into the desert, fish and hunt. We were supposed to go all over the world. | :He was very sincere, said that we would know what kind of plane we would take, and that he would pay all expenses.

Brother Branham did not say that the Lord showed him something, but I knew that he had made a promise not to fly or have anything to do with an airplane unless it was THUS SAITH THE LORD. Prophets keep their promises. | |||

:Well, afterwards, when Brother Branham was taken off the scene, I couldn't understand why he asked us to get a plane, said that this was what we were going to do, and suddenly, he was gone. I was upset, and I started to pray and cry out to the Lord. | :Well, afterwards, when Brother Branham was taken off the scene, I couldn't understand why he asked us to get a plane, said that this was what we were going to do, and suddenly, he was gone.
