<TITLE>05. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 But anyhow, I know those three doctors statements that they were dead. Then this little boy, he, 'course, he wasn't dead yet. But he was unconscious, hadn't gained conscious, this was the third day. So then they said, "Come down to the hospital."
Well, I--I said, "It's against the rules for me to leave the place here and go to the hospital. I'm praying for your boy." I said, "By the way, are you all Christians?"
"No."
"Why," I said, "look. If the little bo... If you want a favor out of me, find a favor of me first." I said, "If... You ought to become Christians. Maybe God would have mercy on your little boy and would spare his life. But if--if you become a Christian, you might find favor with God, and even if God takes the little boy, he's just a laddie, he's only about six years old." I said, "He will go to heaven; there'll be no accidents up there." And I said, "If you die a sinner, you'll never go to heaven, and you'll never see him no more. But if you... If he dies and God takes him, and you're a Christian, you'll go up to live with Him someday, where there is no accidents." But I said, "Then if you don't, then and--and if... He might spare his life." So they seen they couldn't lose in any way. So they wanted to become Christians. We knelt down and had prayer. They give their heart to Christ. Got up, when they got up from there, then the poor little mother, she was about twenty-two years old, I guess, twenty-three, she said, she come over, mumbling off something to me, and the interpreter said, "Here's what she said. 'She said, Now, go heal my boy.'"

L-15 Well, I said, "That's awful lovely of you, sister, but I couldn't heal the boy." I said, "The Lord Jesus has to give a vision first of what's going to take place, then I'll tell you."
She said, "Go, see vision."
I said, "That's lovely of you, but I can't do that. God has to give it, Hisself."
She said, "Well, you seen vision for other boy."
And I said, "Yes, that's right. But I didn't ask for it. I didn't even know I was coming over here then. God just give it. It was His sovereign will." I said, "Well, I can't do that."
And she said, she said, "Well, come down to the hospital."

L-16 I said, "No, I'll... That would break the rules. I'll go into the room and pray, God can hear me in here, just the same He could at the hospital."
So I went in, started to... She said, "Well, you go into the room, I'll wait till you see vision." That was mighty sweet, but...
I said, "He might not even give me a vision. He might not even speak a thing to me. I can't make Him. It's just if He will."
So Mrs. Isaacson finally got them to go on to the hospital. So they... Instead of going to the hospital they went home. About ten minutes the phone rang. And you ought to see the phones in Finland. It's got a long stick like that; you put it back in your ear, and turn on a crank like this. So they called up, and said, "Has he seen vision yet?"
"No."
About ten minutes later, she called again, "Seen vision yet?"

L-17 "No." Mrs. Isaacson said, "It might not even see one. You all just go ahead and serve God and be thankful, and believe your little boy is going to get well."
Well, on down, plumb on till church time, she called about every fifteen, twenty minutes, and asked if I had seen a vision, what was going to happen. I said, "He might, God might tell me, He's going to take him." I said, "If He's going to take him, well, that's all that we can say. Thy will be done."
