<TITLE>25. Par 105-108</TITLE>L-105 Billy come in from a fishing about twelve-thirty, the old opossum was still there. I thought about her all night. Now, listen. The next morning I got up real early, went out there, and when I got out there, there laid the old opossum still laying there. I thought, "Oh, my, what am I going to do with her?"
And little Rebekah... (She seen her first vision not long ago.) There's coming my little girl, not cause she's mine, but God is with her. So, she go to a meeting and get somebody on her--her--her heart and start praying for them, it isn't five minutes till the Holy Ghost calls it. That's right. See?
And she--she was there; she was looking down at this old... She said, "Daddy, what are you going to do with that poor old mother opossum?"
I said, "I don't know, honey."
Her pajamas on. Mother and them hadn't got up yet; there's nobody out there, on--on the runway yet. And I said, "Honey, I don't know what."
She said, "You going to kill her, daddy?"
And I said, "No, honey, I just can't kill her somehow."

L-106 I said, "What you doing up at this time? You better get back in bed with mommy; you better run on in there now."
And she said, "Well, daddy, I feel so sorry for that poor old mother."
I said, "I do to, honey, but she's dead." And He said--and I said, "Them little opossums, I don't know what to do?"
Said, "Are you... Why don't you let Brother Wood kill her?"
I said, "No, I don't feel like doing it, sweetheart." I said, "You run on back and get in bed."

L-107 I went in to the side door of my den room. I was sitting around with my hands right like this. I thought "What will I do with that opossum today? I don't know."
Now, I don't know how you're going to judge this, but Somebody said to me, said, "What are you leaving her lay there for?"
I said, "Well, I--I don't know." I said...
Said, "Well," said, "I--I sent her here. You preached a sermon on her yesterday and said what a mother she was."
I said, "Yes, that's right."
Said, "I sent her here to be prayed for, and she's laid at your door waiting her turn for twenty-four hours; you've never said a word to Me about it."

L-108 I said, "Well, I didn't..." Said, "Who am I talking to? Have I gone crazy?" I said, "What's the matter? What? 'I sent her here.'" I thought, "God, sure, You know the animals. You know the sparrows; one can't fall without You." I said, "Well...?... forgive me, Father, if You had a mother opossum... I seen You do human beings that way, but never a opossum. Would You send her here?"
And I went out there, and Becky was looking through the window. And I went out to where the old opossum was; I looked at her. Becky come out. I said, "Heavenly Father..." I got to meet this at the judgment. I said, "Heavenly Father, has Your servant been stupid enough not to know that You're in nature, that You're in animals, that You're everywhere? And how would...?... You knowing that You sent me to pray for people and You sent this opossum up here. Well, this opossum knows more about Divine healing than a lot of preachers does." I said, "Here sets this dumb animal; she ain't got a soul; she couldn't be led by no spirit; she hasn't got any soul. But You had to guide her by instinct, and You Who made her. And she wants to live to raise her babies. And You put her at my steps here, and she's laid here for twenty-four hours. Forgive me, God." I said, "Then, Lord Jesus, if You put that opossum here, then I pray that You'll heal her, in the Name of the Lord Jesus."
