L-1 Good evening, friends. It's indeed a pleasure to be here tonight, and a privilege. And I thank you for your thoughts of the boy, my son. He's just a lad, and he's been going with me now, for a little while... The manager's in Canada, Mr. Baxter, and so I--I hardly know how I would--be hard for me to get along without him right now. So he's kindly my right hand man, he's--but being just a kid, and you all's respect for him, I certainly appreciate that.
And I hope someday, that God makes a minister out of him. And if he would only give a complete yield to God, of course, he's just a kid. He's in the adolescent age yet, but Billy, if he will yield to God his ministry will exceed mine so bad till, so far it won't even be in the picture. Billy is going to be a very spiritual boy, and the Spirit of the Lord is near him.
For instance, we'll be riding down the road on place we've never seen before. He's talking to me the other day; he said, "Daddy," he said, "I see we're going to make a turn after while, and there's a red barn, and there'll be a cow standing over here, and some chickens standing around beside..." It'll be there just don't worry. It'll be just there. And see, it's so near him, the same thing. If he'd just yield to It.
And then, we'll go a little farther, and I'll say, "Now, watch Paul," if you see it's the same I'm telling you. I said, "Now, we're going to be a man so--you be ready to catch your brakes 'cause there's a man going to come around the corner, in this next city, and the man's going to be dressed in a certain way, like that." And there he will be. See? Just like...
And, he will say, "Well now, daddy, that's... I see that too." He said, "But I don't know what to do."
I said, "Just follow what the Lord says." See, see?
Gifts and callings are without repentance. That's right. And of course, be thousands of things happen, we've never even--I never even mention it. Just... He just tells me certain things, and I just go ahead. That's all right. I'm thankful and just don't tell it to the people. You don't have to, unless it's going to do somebody some good or help somebody. If it isn't going to help anyone, it doesn't do any good anyhow, does it? Just maybe for our own benefit... And there's many things He lets happen, that He never tells me nothing about it, just lets me go right on in. And I don't know nothing about it, till it's done happened. He just tells me what He wants to. See? And what He doesn't want to, He doesn't have to. And He's--that the way God does.

L-2 Just like, you might tonight, lay down and dream a dream. Well, you can't help it 'cause you dreamed a dream. Well then, tomorrow night, I'll say, "Dream me a dream." Why, you couldn't do it if you had to. See? There's nothing you can do about it. But the One Who gives dreams, is the One Who can do it. And the One Who gives visions, is the One Who can do it.
And now, a vision is different from a dream, only a dream is a--it's a--it's a... Well, in one way it's a kind of a vision, but you're unconscious, and a dream is when your subconscious, and a vision, I think now, I wouldn't know think it works in the same channel, only a dream... God does deal in dreams sometimes with people. He--He give King Nebuchadnezzar dreams, and he give Joseph dreams, and so forth. But it's not too accurate unless there be an interpreter of the dream.
And then, a vision, you--you don't go to sleep at all; you just stand and look it. It's just happening right in front you, and you're--and you're thinking of a feeling... You're standing here now, talking to someone, and yet, actually, you're maybe twenty years before that, watching what's taken place, that's taken twenty years before that, something that they've done in life. And maybe, it'll be, after while maybe, years beyond. I see that what He says, you just watch what He says. And He will tell you...
