I remember when I was healed of stomach trouble. He, Satan said, "Well, you better not eat." Said, "Because the doctor said, 'If you eat, you'd die. You have an ulcered stomach,' and said, 'it was just one big bloody ulcer.'"
But the Lord said, "He healed me." So I had to take somebody's word, so I took God's Word.
And so, oh, it like to burnt me up. Hot water running out of my mouth, and so, two or three days, I was going around holding my stomach like this. Said, "How are you feeling, Mr. Branham?"
I said, "Oh, I feel fine," tamping away like that.
Someone said, "You lied."
I did not, I was making a confession. Confess means "say the same thing." By His stripes, I was healed. That does it. See? I was making confession.
And so, Satan said to me, said, "You're bringing reproach."
I said, "Now, looky here, old fellow. If you enjoy hearing me testify, you stick around. But if you don't, you might as well get away, 'cause I'm going to testify anyhow." So that's it. You just got to let him know what side you're standing on, and then make your stand, and then stand. And that's just the way we got to do always, is get where we know that we're right, and then got faith in that. You can't have faith unless you're right. Don't you try to do that to bluff him now. He won't take your bluff. See? Don't bluff him. But when you really believe it, you're not bluffing then. Something has already witnessed to you, and then you're right.
