<TITLE>08. Par 30-32</TITLE>L-30 I said, "Yes, I have two under consideration. One of them is Minneapolis, and one of them is Battle Creek. I'm thinking on those two, praying about those two, but I don't know just yet." I said, "I believe I feel a little more leading towards Battle Creek." I said, "I'd rather go to Battle Creek, I believe, because I've been to Minneapolis before," I said.
He said, "All right." Said, "I will make it Battle Creek."
And I didn't know it was set for a big long time. So then, finally I even told...?... I said, "We'll be leaving this coming Monday, if the Lord permits." I said, "As far as I know, that's... I had... I said, "I feel like between the two places, because I had a reason not to go to Battle Creek, or to... over there, because I've been there before."
Well, about--about four days before I went to make... get...  Brother Baxter said, "Brother Boze said that we can have the auditorium of his church, if it was...?... and wanted to come by two or three nights 'fore going over."
I said, "Well, I will take it under consideration." I said, "Now, we may be there one night. If the Lord says move, I will go."
He said, "You better take..." He said, "We better take the church then."
I said, "All right." Yeah, I said, "Now, if it's all right, maybe one night." All right.

L-31 We went on over there. We had a great blessing, and... But before I went up there, one night, I was laying there, and I was... Now, listen closely. This is a confession. When I--I been up way late at night, people coming and everything. And I went to sleep, and I--I slept through the night, and about five or six o'clock at morning, I was a wakened up by a terrible dream.
I dreamed I seen a great big, muddy road a coming, and struck a little...?... And I knowed my wife was in there, and I went in and grabbed her, and got out of the place. And I said, "Oh, thank the Lord." And I--I woke up. And I said, "My, that's an awful dream."
And I looked over to her, and she was asleep; the baby was asleep. I said, "Well, now something is happening right there. I don't know what it was." In a few moments I said, "Well, this is strange. I was thinking about a dream that I had in my room." And here I am setting here in a...?... real clear, blue water, not muddy water, clear blue water. And I was going up the street. Not...

L-32 I thought, "Well, say, am I dreaming." And in just a moment I heard something behind me, making a noise going. "putt, putt, putt, putt, putt." I thought, "Well, this, what's... I--I don't understand it. Just like if I was somewhere else, and say I was speaking on a microphone in church, just a few moments ago." See? Just... I thought, "This is strange." And it kept coming. I noticed there was a little something in the water...?... up that way, and he come up to me, and then he turned that way. He would go down, come back around this way, "putt, putt, putt," and it'd turn that way and come back again.
I said, "I don't understand this. And something drew near me." Said, "Looky here." And I looked, and there was a road turned to the right in the water. There was another one turned to the left. Said, "What it's trying to tell you, 'turn to the left.'"
And then I thought, "What's?" I come to myself. I thought, "What--what was that a dream? Or was it and I..." Will the Spirit of the Lord come on me, and first time in all my life it ever did that. And I thought, "Well, that's the strangest thing that I ever seen."
