<TITLE>10. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 Notice, quickly, give me your attention... Walking through the building, and the first thing you know, he hits this line of mothers. He looked standing down there. There was all the rich women with their little babies with fine needlework, their little pink and--and blue blankets and so forth, each one holding a lamb, pretty little things. And way down the line, I see a little virgin about eighteen years old. She's got a black name behind her, because they said this baby belonged to Joseph, and the baby was borned out of wedlock. But in that little mother's heart, she knew who that baby belonged to. It didn't have fine needlework, it had swaddling's cloth. That's what you take off the back of a y--yolk of an ox when he's plowing: the King of glory, no needlework, swaddling's cloth to wrap Him in.
The mother standing, her little veil over her face looking down to the little baby, and the other women keeping their distance. "We will have nothing to do with her. She's an outcast." An outcast, in her heart she knew who that baby belonged to.

L-33 The Holy Ghost said, "It shall be called the Son of God." How? It wasn't to reason; it was to believe. And there, they kept their distance. But here comes the prophet, the one who believes in supernatural. He was the supernatural. Walking down through there, the old sage, and the tears running down his cheeks as he walked, stopped right in front of that little old mother, reached over and took that baby out of her arms. He looked at It, the tears running down his cheeks, and said, "Lord, let Thy servant depart in peace. According to Your Word, my eyes has seen Your Salvation." There you are. Led by the Spirit. Oh, my, expecting it, and being led by the Spirit to what you're expecting.
In the temple the same day, was an old blind prophetess by the name of Anna. She didn't leave the temple; she prayed day and night. She was blind in her eyes, but she could see a lot farther than people could with their eyes. She, blind, she was waiting for the consolation of Israel, knowing that Christ would come someday. And the Holy Spirit struck her. She stood up on her feet, and here come that old prophetess, blind, moving by the Holy Ghost, moving through the temple, around the critics, until she come and stood in front of Him. The Holy Ghost leading her to Christ. Raised up, and prophesied, and blessed Mary and the baby. Led of the Spirit, expecting it, believing it.

L-34 Sometime ago, coming from Dallas, Texas, a storm came up and blowed my plane. We landed in Memphis, Tennessee. I never forget it. They sent me up to that great hotel there called, "Peabody." I could never stay in a hotel like that with my own money. I don't have that type of money. But the--the airline sent me up there, the TWA. And then, when I was up there that night, I prayed that night. And the next morning... Do you believe that we are led by the Spirit of God?
I wish I had time to tell you many things. On with this: At this time it was very striking. The next morning I had some letters, I was going to the post office to mail them. And I started down the street; they called me and said, "Be ready to catch the plane at eight o'clock. The limousine will pick you up at seven-thirty."
I said, "Thank you, sir." I said, "Now, let's see. It's six thirty. I got time to go down there at the post office."
