<TITLE>12. Par 60-64</TITLE>L-60 And on the road out, I met man, black man, what we know as the colored people. And they were very primitive, some of them naked. And to tell you how primitive they are, a lady gave birth to a baby, setting right twenty feet from me, and just picked up the baby, and spanked it a little, and went to nursing her baby, and never paid a bit attention. There was no hospitals with pink covers and walls and four or five specialists standing around.
I wonder if all of our science has--hasn't weakened us a lot beside the other harms. Then I noticed, I said, "That man is--got a tag on his neck."
He said, "Well, he is a Christian."
"Oh."
He said, "The missionaries has tagged him." Said, "He's a Christian."
"Well," I said, "How is it he's packing an idol?"
And he said, "I can speak Shungai, you just ask him."

L-61 So we drove up on the side of the street. I'd never appeared before them yet. They didn't know us. So I drove up, and I said a... Said, "Call him anything."
And I said, "Thomas, are you a Christian?"
"Oh, yes, sure," he answered in his native language. He was a Christian.
I said, "Why do you have the idol?"
"Oh," he said, "That was God, too." If Amoyah... I believe that's the right name, Brother Thoms. "Amoyah," means "an unseen force, the wind." "If that happens to fail the un--the unseen God, this one wouldn't." And he could get things from this idol that he couldn't get from "Amoyah," because he got healing from his idol. I'll answer that after a bit.

L-62 And the missionary told him... And 'course in reading to him the Bible, what Jesus did, those days were past. So he come to find out, that's the weakness of our missionary.
And so he carried the idol. And he said, "A idol had power." He said, "His father packed the idol. And one day a lion got after his father, and he set the little idol down and built up a little fire, and said a prayer the witch doctor told him, and the lion run away." I told him that I was a hunter, and I hunted lions. And the prayer never run the lion away. The fire run the lion away, 'cause an animal's afraid of fire. Oh, well, he'd pack it anyhow. Now, do you call that conversion? No.

L-63 And after the meeting that day, there was no way of giving out prayer cards. Billy, my boy, went down and give out prayer cards. He come home and showed me, he had no neck tie, no pockets, or nothing. So he said, "Daddy, it would be easier to go into a lions' den. For those people grabbing for those cards, they tore my clothes off." Said, "I had to get away." So I said... We could not give out prayer cards, so I said, "I want some missionaries of each tribe and each people here to go out and bring two people out of each tribe."
So I spoke to them the Bible of Jesus being the resurrected Christ. There set Mohammedans, thousands. And they're the hardest to change; they're from the old Medo Persians, who alter not or change not.

L-64 So when they brought them to the platform, the first one to my memory was a Mohammedan woman, the red dot between her eyes, a middle-aged woman. And I said, "You are a Mohammedan."
She said, "Yes." Through her interpreter.
And I said, "Well, why do you come to me as a Christian to help you? Why don't you go to your priest?" She said she believed that--that I could help her. I said, "I can't help you. But if you believe Jesus Christ, He will help you." She finally caught onto it. And I said, "If the Lord Jesus has raised from the dead and will do the same thing here that He did when He was here on earth, will you believe Him?" Yes, she would. "Will you accept Him as your Saviour?" She put up her hand, she would.
And the Holy Spirit came down and told her who she was, what she had done, where she had been, and she started weeping and accepted Christ as personal Saviour.
