The Faith of Hattie Wright "Ask What You Will and It Shall Be Given
unto You"
Sister Hattie Wright was a humble widow
of meager means and her modest home
was always open to Brother Branham.
When he was visiting nearby, he could
find a meal or a warm place to rest for
a few minutes. Brother Branham made
the following remark about the Wright’s
attitude, “... And they were poor people,
but I was welcome.”
Sister Wright received a reward, from
the Lord, during one of those visits in
November of 1959. Brother Branham was
visiting her house with some brothers
Sister Hattie Wright with Orville and Coy
in Christ, and recounted the story of
speaking squirrels into existence. When Sister Hattie heard the story, she exclaimed: “Brother
Branham, that ain’t nothing but the truth!” Immediately, the Holy Spirit swept into the room and
through Brother Branham, said to her, “Ask what you will and it shall be given unto you.” She
requested the salvation of her two sons, who were sitting there, laughing and making fun. Sister
Wright received her answer immediately. The boys fell on their knees and cried for God’s mercy.
This was the third manifestation of the Third Pull.
“Now, Sister Hattie’s very quiet, and pious little woman; never raises her voice about anything. But
you could’ve heard her scream a city block when the Holy Spirit struck the building. Everybody–
everybody there felt It. It was wonderful. We may live a long time. But Sister Hattie, as long as
there is a memory in our mind, we’ll remember that, Sister Wright. Now, that the people might
know that I told that just exactly true, would you raise up your hand, Sister Hattie, (...) so that
you can see. See, there they are. Here... Stand up, Sister Hattie. There’s the little widow woman
that the miracle happened on, the first, bypassing all the peoples of the world, for that thing to
happen first to that poor, little, humble widow woman upon a hillside up there, trying to raise
a crop of corn out of a crawfish ground out there to take care of her children. That’s the one
that God honored the first time since the days of Jesus Christ, and said, ‘Ask what you will.’”
My New Ministry, November 15, 1959
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her,
she stood before him. And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been
careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to
the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
