<TITLE>13. Par 48-50</TITLE>L-48 O God, break down the shackles and bring out Your Church is my prayer. Yes, sir. God working... Watch Him in His nature and watch... Just--just coincides with--with the--with the Church and with the natural and with the spiritual, it's just perfect--everywhere.
That little old duck get out of there, brother, and right on straight to Louisiana he'd goes. Watch nature in anyway you want to. You see God moving in.
Take for instance a hog. You read in the newspaper, say, "Tomorrow it's going to be pretty weather." And watch that old sow take the shucks off the north side of the hill, and bring it around on the south side, and make her bed. You... That newspaper don't know nothing. It's going to be cold. She knows more about the weather than all the--the meteorologists in the country does. Why? She's got a God-given instinct to make ready for it. But the thing about it is, she believes her instinct, but we don't believe our Leading. They... God gave them instinct. He gave us the Holy Ghost.
What if that little duck would say, "Well, now, wait. I'll see what Joe says about it over here." He'd never get to Louisiana. Certainly not. He's got to go the way he's led. And the man can't lead man. The Holy Ghost leads man. The Holy Spirit is what... And it's a brotherhood. And if the real Holy Ghost is leading you, you'll know it's a brotherhood. Amen.

L-49 Oh, my. I wished I was about three times my size when I get to feeling like this. Maybe I could be--feel three times as good as what I do now. You know these little afternoons gives me a vent. I've just been... You know, when you're... The visions is what kill me off nearly. Just makes me so weak, but when I get out here, I could stand here, oh, for a week like this. This is fine. This is taking in, and that's giving out. I just get down to the spout and hold my mouth open and just let it run, having a good time.
Now, God works in His universe. You believe that? Here some time ago, I was hunting elk up in the mountains. It was real early in the fall, and the snow hadn't hit the top of the mountains yet. And then I was... I... When the snows come, then the elk run down but you have to go high, way up around the timber lines to get--get into the elk.

L-50 And there I was up there walking one day. I was about, oh, I guess thirty-five, forty miles from any ranch or any thing, way up in the top of the Rocky Mountains. And I guess I was two hundred miles from any kind of a city. And I was walking along there with my rifle, you know.
And it'll come a snow, and then the first thing you know then it'll rain, and then it'll turn warm, the sun come out, and changing weathers. And I was... Been up there about two days, and I knowed the elk herd was in there, so I was just walking along through there, sleeping out at night.
And one day come a rain and I got in behind the tree like this, and the rain just a blowed, and poured down through there. And then after the rain kinda let up, why--why, it commenced to--to breaking off. And it was cold up there that high on the mountain. And I happened to look and the evergreens had froze, them big icicles like hanging all over the--the evergreen. It was froze up where the wind's cold and the water's a falling. It froze the--the ice into the--to the evergreen.
