Joe Riley: Difference between revisions

In January 1966, shortly after the passing of William Branham, Joe Riley's daughter made arrangements for him to get his eyes checked.  A few days later, when the doctor put the glasses on his face for the first time, Joe Riley remembered what William Branham had said.  Looking at his wife's diary, he found that it was 3 years to the day that William Branham had made the simple statement that had turned into a prophecy.  Even further, Joe Riley witnessed that it was around 10:00 in the morning when William Branham had made that statement, and it was around 10:00 in the morning when the doctor put the glasses over his eyes.

Joe Riley attended Bro. Outlaw's church, and played the stand-up bass during that time.  One of the deacons had a 3 year old daughter with leukemia, and Joe Riley went to talk to William Branham about praying for the girl.  William Branham asked if Joe Riley had a handkerchief, which he had, and he put that handkerchief in his shirt pocket while he preached.   

After the service, William Branham returned the handkerchief to Joe Riley and said "I am not able to go pray for the girl, but you pick up the girl, put this handkerchief on her stomach under her gown, and pronounce her healed".  Joe Riley then drove from Tucson to Phoenix, where Genie was hospitalized, and did exactly what William Branham had told him to do.  Genie recovered, and returned home, and lived for another 37 years.
