Class Name: Prayer Ottoman Lesson: Part 1: Quote: We got an old stool there that Brother Palmer covered for us, here not long ago, and we always get around that stool and pray, whenever we re Oh, OTTOMAN, like, you know, footstool. Whenever we get around there and PRAY, when I m going on a meeting, we ask God to help us. Brother Branham 63-1229e - Look Away To Jesus Scripture: 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Philippians 4:6 Part 2: Quote: You remember that little song? Let s see, What was that other one we sang? Let s see. Oh, won t you watch with me one hour, While I go yonder, while I go yonder? Oh, won t you watch with me one hour, While I go yonder and PRAY? I m overcoming, I m overcoming, I m overcoming, I m overcoming; For I love Jesus, He s my Saviour, And He smiles and He loves me too. Brother Branham 63-0724 Scripture: 40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. St Matthew 26:40-41 2
Part 3: Quote: And that morning, early, I got up, Billy and Loyce there was waiting for me. And I knelt down, and pulled this little old stool along, LITTLE OTTOMAN. Knelt down, looked up, and I said, Oh, how I miss them! I said, Heavenly Father, I m on my road now to Shreveport. I pray You ll help me down there. And bless me, give me souls, Lord, for Your Kingdom. Use me in any way You wish. I m in Your hands. I said, Way across the deserts, is my faithful little wife, waiting this morning. She is going up there, for get ready for that operation. I said, Lord, I told her, last night, Ask the doctor to put it off till after Christmas. Did I do wrong? Would that turn malignant? If I did that, and asked her to beg that doctor, turn off, and, between that time, it would go malignant and I d lose her, I would never forgive myself for that. I said, Lord, I ve talked to You now for these two years, yes, sixteen years, but, I said, the last two years since that happened. I said, Father, she has never failed to be a real wife to me. When I get ready to go on the services, never one time did she ever complain, not one time. Always gets my clothes cleaned, and my shirts laundered, and everything, and have them all ready for me. And then when I come home, I m so tired, I can t And it s, usually, a woman would want her husband to be with her. And I come in, people crowding in, what do I do? Get off on a hunting trip or a fishing trip. Did she ever complain? Not one time. Go get my clothes ready, and let me go on, That s all right. The poor little fellow, forty-four years old, snow-white-headed, standing between me and the public. I said, God, she didn t mean that, that morning. She really didn t mean it, Father. Her actions show she didn t mean it. She was just nervous. So help me, for the fifth time that it s been done! Since the squirrels; and then down in Kentucky; then the Wright children down there; then that storm on the mountain, which I haven t time to tell you tonight; and this time, just as certain! There come that Light, hanging down there, and It said, Stand up on your feet. And I stood up. He said, Whatever you say, that s the way it ll be. I said, The hand of God will dissolve the tumor before the doctor s hand can touch it. Brother Branham 64-0120 Scripture: 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 3

You will have a total of 40 cut wedges. 3. Line up your five wedges in the order you choose. Take one fabric wedge from each of the five fabrics you cut, stack and set aside. You should have stacks of five. 4. With right sides together pin #1 and #2. Sew 1/2 seam allowance, back tacking at the top and bottom. PRESS the seams from the opposite sides to be pinned. 5. Continue pinning and sewing adding #3, #4, and #5. You should have all five wedges sewn together? Sew the next groups of five remembering to PRESS each seam as you go. PRESS all seams in the same direction. (You should have a total of eight sets. 6. With right sides pinned together using 1/2 seam allowance, sew the eight sections together in groups of two. (creating four sections) Sew from the bottom to the top. Back tack at the bottom and top. 7. With right sides together sew 1/2 seams, sew the four sections together sewing from bottom to the top. Back tacking at the bottom and top. 8. Using the longest stitch, baste 1/2 seam allowance around the bottom of your fabric, leaving long threads. Baste around again 1/4 seam allowance, leaving long threads. (this will be gathered later) 9. Cut an 18 circle for the bottom of Ottoman. You can use a pattern or place the 18 wood to trace around. 10. Sew 1/2 basting stitch around the bottom edge of the 18 circle. 11. Press the raw edge to meet the basting stitch. 12. Peel off any vinyl that s not part of your quote. 13. Weed out your design using a straight pin. 14. Place the heat transfer vinyl sticky side down on the right side of the 18 circle fabric. 15. Place a cover sheet scrap fabric down on top of the heat transfer. (we prefer a Teflon release sheet) 18 Wood Base (use 18 round template in kit): 1. Drill two holes 3/4 apart at the center of your wood base. 2. Mark a pencil line between the two holes creating four equal sections on the underneath side of the base. 3. Drill four 3/8 holes one at each section 1 3/4 from outer edge of the base. 4. Insert tee nuts on top side of wood base. 9
Press Play Button: 1. Cut out 7 triangle from your fabric. 2. Use a 12 upholstery needle to thread the cording through the two holes in the middle of the Press Play wooden button. 3. Place the prayer cloth under the cording. 4. Place the foam on the top of the Press Play button. 5. Place the foam and the wood press play button on the wrong side of the fabric. Glue and staple around the underside edges. Ottoman Assembly: 1. Add glue to the top side of the wood (Top side has the tee nuts showing). Place the foam on the glue. 2. Add batting to the foam and circle base. Center batting on the foam and circle base. Pull the batting around the back and secure by stapling to the underside of the circle base approximately 1 from the outer edge. 3. Trim off excess batting from the base after stapling. 4. Place your fabric over the foam and circle base and gently pull the bobbin threads to gather around the cushion. Even out the fullness of fabric around the cushion. 5. Use the 12 upholstery needle. Take the eye of the needle and push it through the pilot hole from the underside circle. Carefully push to the top and thread the needle with the cord that is attached to your press play button. Push the needle down to the underside of wood circle. Repeat steps for the other side. 6. Pull the cords down and tie in a tight knot. 7. Place the wrong side of fabric circle to the underside of the ottoman and staple around the edge. 8. Place a pin over each of the 4 tee nuts. 9. Make a small hole over the 4 tee nuts. 10. Attach wooden legs. Helpful Hints: When cutting out fabric, it is important to cut exactly along the pattern piece edges, not larger or smaller. Before cutting the fabric, place pattern pieces on the fabric to be sure all four pattern pieces fit on the folded fabric. If you cut on the fold of the fabric you will have eight cut wedges of each of the fabric pieces. Be sure your seams are precisely half an inch seams. With 40 seams, every little bit extra will add up and make the circle at the top of the fabric too big, and your press play button will not be able to cover the hole at the top of the ottoman. When you are cutting and placing your fabric strips make sure your triangle (press play) fabric is pointing to the right. When ironing the vinyl, set your iron to hot with no steam. Press down the iron, holding firmly for 20 to 30 seconds; then picking it up and moving it. Do not slide the iron around. 10

Prayer Time Part 3 O oman 40 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 41 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Part 4 Prayer Time O oman Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Malchi 4:5-6 Got a little story to say about my precious wife setting back there. I gave her a rough time before we was married, I ve tried to make up for it after we was married. And I didn t know whether I wanted to be married again or not, and so she got all broke up. And I thought she was too good a girl to just to leave go, let some good man marry her that d take care of her. And I thought I even wasn t worthy of it; and I am not, of her kindness, anyhow. So she was all tore up and didn t know what to do. This has been years ago, about twenty years ago. She got so tore up, she started crying day and night. And I was trying to break away from her, not because I didn t love her, because I didn t want to take her time; cause, let her find somebody, some good person, cause she s too good a girl just to let go like that, and me take...to just go with her and things like that. And I-I thought she loved me, and I knowed I loved her. So then I thought, Well, I ll just try to...i ll get a date with some other girl and go out, and make her feel bad about me. I liked to have killed her, I hated it awful bad afterwards; she got all broke up. I told her, I said, You re too good a girl, I-I don t want to take your time like that. And she said, But I-I just love you, Bill, and that s the only one I can love. Said, I-I ve always loved you. I said, I-I appreciate that. But, I said, you know, I said, I m a hermit. I said, I m-i m just going to live like a hermit. See, I-I ain t going to get married at all. And she was so set on it, you know, poor little fellow. And she went out to the-the shed. And she got out there, and she got down on her knees, and she said, Lord, I don t know what to do. I-I don t want to disobey You, and yet I love Bill, and I don t know what to do. Lord, will You just give me a little bit of consolation? Will You just help me a little bit? I never did ask You this before in my life, Lord, and I hope I never have to ask You again, she said, but if You ll just help me, and let me open up this Bible, and You give me a Scripture. I ve heard people say You did that. And when she opened it up, it was Malachi 4: Behold, I give unto...or send unto you Elijah the prophet before that-that terrible day of the Lord: She said, I got up from there just as well satisfied that we was going to get married as anything.
