<TITLE>07. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 And just then something said, "Well, you were talking yesterday about love. And this opossum loves her babies so much, I sent her up here to your door, and she's laid here for twenty-four hours, her turn to be prayed for."
I waited, I said, "Heavenly Father, if the rejecting of a human being for the love for her baby, and You put love in that animal which could not... it hasn't got a soul, it had to be guided by the Holy Spirit up that lane, everywhere from the woods, and turn into the only place that had a gate or a fence." I said, "I'm sorry."
And went out there and said, "Heavenly Father, if You have directed this dumb animal to be prayed for, and I've been stupid enough, or so busy, that I never recognized it was You, then I pray God, that You'll heal the opossum."
And as God Almighty, Who we stand before, my solemn Judge, the opossum turned over and looked at me, raised up, picked up her babies, stuck them in her pocket, put that tail up in the air, marched right down that road, got out in the gate, and turned around as if to say, "Thank you, sir," and went straight to the woods with her babies.

L-24 What was it? When love is projected, Divine grace takes its place and helps it And when love failed in that colored girl's heart, and the love of that opossum to her babies, Divine grace to an animal, sent to the place for a prayer of delivery. If Divine grace will act that way upon a animal, what will it be to a human being who will consecrate themselves to Divine love of the Lord Jesus Christ and has recognized Him.

L-25 Not long ago, coming from conference out of Texas, and we got into a storm, and the plane came down at Memphis, Tennessee. And I went into the Peabody Hotel there to stay all night. And while I was in there they told me, "Tomorrow morning at seven o'clock the plane will go, and there'll be the car will come to pick you up."
I said, "All right."
The next morning I got up at five, wrote some letters; I thought I'd run down to the post office and mail them. I was going down the street. This has been about eight or ten years ago when I first met you Pentecostal people. I was going down the street, a humming a little song, "Jesus keep me near the cross, there's a precious fountain."
And as I went down the street, something said to me, "Stop." Do you believe in being led by the Spirit of God? Surely you do. Something said, "Stop." And I stopped. I was quite a little distance from the post office, and it was the Holy Spirit. I'm so glad today, that He's still the Holy Spirit.
And as stopping, I got up into a little place; I prayed; I said, "Heavenly Father, is that You talking to me?"
And just as plain as you hear my voice, something said to me, "Turn and go back the way you come."

L-26 Did you ever have something like that to happen to you? Follow the leading then. So I turned and went back, on a past the hotel, way down, way over into another place, I thought, "My," looked at my watch, thought, "It was time for the plane to leave." And something kept urging me. As I moved on, something kept saying, "Move on." I moved out of the better part of the city, down towards the river, way down. I thought, "What am I doing, going on here?" I didn't know. Many times you don't have to know, as long as Divine grace is leading.
And as I walked on down towards that river, I looked at my watch, hour had passed, past the time for the plane to go. But the Holy Spirit said, "Move on." I kept on moving till I got down amongst the colored folks.
