The Lamb's Broken Leg
as told by William Branham
Now, before you can have a victory, there has to be a
battle. And if there's no battles, there's no victories. So we ought to be thankful for
the battles and the trying. It's God giving us the opportunity to have victories. Oh, my,
don't that make it a little bit better now? See, the battle come along, somebody saying
something bad about you, sickness come on to you, maybe God give you those light
afflictions that He might heal you and show His favor to you, let you see what He means by
it. He loves you. 
The old shepherd story that was told there
in Jerusalem in the Holy Lands of the shepherds packing a--a sheep, and he said,
"What you packing it for?"
Said, "It's got a broken leg."
Said, "How did it do that? Fall over a cliff?"
Said, "No, I broke its leg."
He said, "Why, you're a cruel shepherd to break that sheep's leg."
Said, "No, I loved it." And said, "It was going astray and I couldn't make
it mind me, so I broke its leg so I could give it some extra attention. So then it would
love me and follow me."
Sometimes God has to let us break down just a little bit in health to
give us a little extra attention, to get us up on His lap, to woo us up in His bosom when
the doctor said nothing can be done, then He take us into His bosom, say, "See, I
love you. I'm going to let you get well." See? Oh, doesn't that just make life a
little better?
Oh, He's so great. He's a marvelous Shepherd, isn't He? No wonder David
said, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." How He leads us beside the
still waters and restores our soul and runs our cups over and--and anoints us in the
presence of the enemy. Did you ever get anointed in the presence of your enemy, just to
testify till your cup just boiled over, you know? Just how marvelous it is to be anointed
in the presence of your enemy.
