'''William David Upshaw''' was born on October 15, 1866, near Atlanta, Georgia. He served in Congress during the late 1910's and throughout the 1920's, and ran for the office of the President for the Prohibition Party in 1932. At the age of 84, 66 years after becoming a paraplegic, William Branham saw a vision of Congressman Upshaw walking. He was instantly healed, and had full use of his legs for the remainder of his life. | '''William David Upshaw''' was born on October 15, 1866, near Atlanta, Georgia.

However, by 1954 it had changed to to the point that there is a vision of a brown suit and a wired microphone is run back to the Congressman to allow him to have a conversation with William Branham from the pulpit. Leroy Kopp's part in the miracle is completely eliminated as William Branham himself told the Congressman over the pulpit - "''THUS SAITH THE LORD, you're healed.''" | William Branham's testimony (1951) is initially in basic agreement with that of the Congressman.

Why did a real miracle from God require embellishment? And, can we trust the accuracy of any of William Branham's stories when there is evidence that he embellished this story almost to the point of fiction? | |||
