<TITLE>05. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 I'm thinking of the--of Jonah, the prophet, when he come up and went down there under inspiration, that God give him inspiration: a prophet, now. And told him, "Go down here to a certain city, Nineveh. It's wicked. Cry out." A city the size of St. Louis, Missouri. "And cry out to them that God would send punishment upon the city." And the man didn't want to go, because he knowed he wouldn't be welcome. And he took a--a boat and went to Nineveh. But when God speaks something, He's determined that it's going to be done. And so you know the story of Jonah.
And after, under that inspiration and preached so up and down the streets, right up and down the streets preaching and giving his inspiration to the people, that they even put sackcloth on their animals and repented, and God saved the city. Then when the inspiration left him, he set up on a hill and prayed God to take his life.

L-13 Look at Elijah, when he come off the mountain, after calling fire down out of heaven, rain down out of heaven after it hadn't rained for three years and six months, and when the inspiration left him, we find him out there in the wilderness, wandering around for forty days; and he'd pulled back into a cave. Winds went by; storms went by; and a still small voice, God calling, "Elijah, what are you doing back there in this cave?" after under that inspiration, walked subconsciously, forty days and nights. Just maybe you haven't heard the Gospel preached like that, but that's some of the things that they don't speak about, perhaps don't know about. That's it. See? It's--it's in a world that they don't know. Now, what is it?
Now, standing here, and the inspiration strikes, and you go into a--another world, then you feel like you could run through a troop and leap over a wall. But then, let it leave you, and I feel my boy or Brother Cauble, one, patting me on the side. I know I've took just as much; I don't know it; but I know that they have looked at me and know that's far enough. Then I must leave. Then the first thing you know, I just feel it at every side. And I start off the platform; it seems like I'm stepping off the world, and I can just see myself going, just whirling somewhere out into space, like that.

L-14 Here, the other night, Billy lost me at the door somehow. He started to get my hat or told me to stand there; I don't know what he done. But I found myself way down the alley here somewhere, among some cars, trying to feel my way around. And one of the people from my church picked me up down there and brought me to the car. You'll never know, friend, what a sacrifice... See? You don't understand. See? Then, after a while you become to get normally. I drove my car away, hardly knowing what street to turn to at the next place, just trusting God. He's always taken care of me.
But I do this for one purpose: to help you, to help you to know Jesus Christ. That's right. And I do it for God's glory, and that's why He permits me to do it. God bless you, Christians. My lovely little people here of the Falls Cities, and around, I love you with unchangeable love. No matter what you think of me; I say that from my heart. I love you. And in order to be your brother, I've got to keep away from the people. I'm not an isolationist. There is... God, Who is my Judge, here at this sacred desk this morning, not knowing what tonight holds, I may be in His Presence. There's not a person in here that I wouldn't like to take a hold of their hands and set down, go home with you. I just love fellowship, but I can't have it. It's kept back from me, until we cross the border. I can't be a servant of man and a servant of God at the same time. You've got to keep from man to serve God, and love men, that brings them to the kingdom. The Lord bless you. Pray for me.
