<TITLE>32. Par 40-41</TITLE>L-40 So I--I knelt this way, positioned to the east, would be from there, and all of them knelt, and I was to lead in prayer. And I said, "Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name." And about time I said that, something come flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter, coming through the bushes, like that. And a little turtledove come set on the window. He begin to walk back and forth, up and down, right above me, about that far, looking down going, "Coo, coo, coo, coo." Little restless fellow walking up-and-down the windowsill, pacing.
And I said, "Almighty God, the Creator of heavens and earth, and the Giver of all good gifts, I pray Thee, that Thy blessings may rest upon this poor dying mortal. And Almighty God Who separated me from my mother, and fed me all the days of my life, knows that in my heart, I can't ask for her death, when she's prayed so hard for her life. O God, You said, 'The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man,' and I know that a righteous man is not righteous in hisself, but in trusting in the grace of Jesus Christ, I ask You to be merciful to her." And I said, "God, no more can I do, but I commit her to You now. Oh, my Father, hear me in the Name of Your Son, Jesus." And I said, "Amen."
When I said, amen, the little turtledove had just constantly walked real restless up-and-down there, and he flew away. And when he flew away, those ministers had done quit praying, and was watching the dove. So when I raised up they said, "Did you notice that dove?"
And I started to say, "I..." And when I did, something caught me, I said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, this woman will live and not die." Hallelujah. I could've been more and knowed no more than what I was going to say from ten years from today at this same time. But He spoke it. And from that hour, and today, she's in perfect health, a hundred and fifty-five pounds, as normal as any person could be. There you are.

L-41 Moving into Africa, quickly. I stopped, that was the only place that I knowed I was going to Durban, that's where she was from. I promised God I'd go. When I moved into Durban, Brother Bosworth and I just made scrap on the way there, but truth is truth. I moved in, we was having a wonderful meeting. And God had done so many marvelous works, I tell you, it was enough to alarm anything. Even two Dutch Reformed ministers, Brother Jackson, here acquainted with what I'm going to say. Two Dutch Reformed ministers was arguing.
I have the shirt, they--they done sent it to me, Brother...?... It hasn't arrived yet, and neither has the zebra skins, or anything has arrived. But they sent this shirt in. This Dutch Reformed went over and told another, said, "This is the day of our visitation. And you should hear."
The other Dutch Reformed said, "He's nothing but a spiritualist."
The other one said, "Did you ever see a spiritualist heal the sick?"
"No."
He said, "I will go out and pray for your soul," one saying to the other. The one went back to the yard, knelt down, and got under a peach tree, and begin to pray, "God, have mercy on his friend's soul." And when he did, he said, "Down before him came the Angel of the Lord in a whirl." And in there, it moved back, and an Angel come and laid His hand on his shoulder, and told him to return to his friend. And when he went back in he said, what had happened. And here the next day, it come out, this minister turned around and looked and there on the man's shirt was the scorched print of the Angel's hand laying on his shirt. Hallelujah.
