William Branham completely contradicts what Jesus was saying. Jesus said in both passages that the lilies '''do not work'''. But William Branham turns right around and says that '''in order for a lily to grow, it has to toil both day and night... And I find out, the lily has to grow, day and night, spin, toil, and to make itself radiant.''' | William Branham completely contradicts what Jesus was saying.
