    Yes, who can judge the heart? In an environment where Christ and Him crucified is the centerpiece of the message, I'll not judge the manifestations. It's short-sighted to do so as the fruit of revival is changed lives that endure, not what goes on in a meeting.

    Matthew 7:9-11: "Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

    In an environment where Emma the angel is being lifted up, I have no clue what people are asking for. Seeking manifestations for their own sake is probably dangerous ground. Seeking a deeper relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is sound and will manifest well beyond a meeting.

    "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."

    See my testimony and you'll understand why Branham is the first healing evangelist who comes to mind when my family thinks of "fraudulent evangelists." btw, my Dad was a soloist and quartet member on the longest running Christian TV program in North American history, "Faith to Live By." His Branham experience severely disillusioned him with sensationalistic Pentecostalism. Prior tp Branham, his heart had been set on fire for Pentecostalism by the ministry of Dr. Charles S. Prince, whose ministry in the 1940s made him an even more prominent healing evangelist than Smith Wigglesworth. at least in Canada.

    It's quite possible that Branham simply made a mistake when he declared you healed. People make mistakes and mess things up and divine healing isn't a field that includes an exact protocol for how one should do things in detail. In my experience people who seek healing then are disappointed when they don't get healed are quick to villify the healing minister, especially if they had high expectations.

    Here's an example of eyesight miraculously restored :



    I've seen creative miracles happen several times myself, including one recently that has been verified by personal testimony half a year after it happened.
