Santa Rosa prophecy about William Branham

Page 98 of the book "A Man Sent From God", written by Gordon Lindsay, includes the following testimony of a prophecy about William Branham:

On one occasion while in Santa Rosa, California, a man came into the building, and seeking out Brother Branham asked him to spell his name. When he had done this the man held a piece of yellow paper in his hand and said, "That's it, mother."
He said that he had come from a Pentecostal Church, and he claimed that 22 years ago, while he and his wife were praying, the Holy Ghost spoke through him saying, "My servant, William Branham, will come up this West coast bearing a gift of divine healing in the latter times."
They believed that it was a prophecy that had been given. And when they had heard Brother Branham's name they dug out that old prophecy and there it was written.


William Branham Tells About The Santa Rosa Prophecy

up here at Santa Rosa not long ago...they was trying to put a man out of the prayer line. And he kept saying, "I'm not wanting in the prayer line; I'm wanting to see this minister."

And I said, "Let him alone," down like this. "What do you want, sir?"

And he said, "How do you spell your name?"

And I said, "B-R-A-N-H-A-M."

He said, "Mother, that's it. That's it." And a lady came forth.

They had an old paper, turned yellow. They were evangelists, belonging to the Assemblies of God. And twenty-two years, that would be about... That's four years ago, it'd be about twenty-six years now. Twenty-two years before that, one said they had a gift of speaking in tongues, the other one had the gift of interpretation. And when they were... Said they were down praying, twenty-two years before that, and the interpretation come. And this was one of their messages they had laying back, said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, in the last days before the coming of the Lord, I'll send My servant, William Branham, up the West Coast with..." And there it was wrote on old paper.

(From the sermon "Believe ye that I can do this?" spoken May 9, 1951 at the Calvary Temple in Los Angeles)
