<TITLE>04. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 And--but the thing of it is, that in my own nature I--I love to listen, and I like to help every one that I can. In doing so, I let my nature get away from God. Don't you see? My will of things is not always God's will of things. And people will ask me to do things, and I love people, as I've told you before... At one time, I didn't have many friends because I was considered amongst the people that I was with a sissy, and I--I didn't have many friends. But since I come out and found God's people, He's given me up in the millions of friends. And I love them so well till I--I'd just do anything for them. I--I--I realize this, with all my heart, if something... If I don't get some kind of a strength from somewhere else, by this time next year, there'll be somebody else a-doing this besides me. It's because, no matter how much they try--anyone tries to encourage me, I feel myself, I see my human strength leaving. It's because that something in my heart reaches out for the people. And I--I--I made this statement; I must live by this statement, that I had rather, and when I leave, I always liked that Psalm of Life: "Partings leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time." I want people to know that when I leave that I have done the very best that I know how to serve God and His church while I was here (That's right.), for His church, and it's for His glory.

L-11 Now, at Vandalia, Illinois, was the time of the visitation of the Angel, as I told you of last Sunday, you--or Sunday a week. You, remember me telling you that of Him coming? The next time was just before I come here. Sunday two weeks ago I was in the room. I'd been all through Canada and around. I'd never seen Him at all, and I was setting looking sideways, and I happened to see something in the room; I turned and there stood the Angel of God, standing looking at me. And I fell on may face, but I--I... Brother Lindsay was the campaign manager of the campaign in the north from the Assemblies of God. And he--he stepped into the room, and he heard me scream out. And he stepped into the room... Why, he didn't mean to do it; he's a fine man. And but when it did, it must've interrupted something, and the Angel left.

L-12 And then a following Sunday I come right on down here. That was on Friday. And Sunday I come here, and not knowing what part of a Scripture... I never get to read in the Bible, but I got the 22nd chapter of the book of Numbers, and in there I begin to speak on the prophet Balaam, got up to his part, and when he came down, and how God told him in the first place, "Don't not go with them men." But then he prayed again and kept on, and--and finally I believe for Balaam, it was the love of money is the reason that he wanted to go. I'm not sure; I've never knowed till I come in. I don't think... It was the love of money. But in my case it wasn't the love of money, it was a sympathy for human beings. And no matter how little or how big, it's all wrong to disobey God (That's right.), regardless of what it is.
