<TITLE>14. Par 57-59</TITLE>L-57 That night when we were standing there where you... There's no way to estimate the number of people. Just as far as you could see was one great big black circle of people. Thousands times thousands piled on each other, just ricked like cord wood. There was no way to give out prayer cards; we just had to stop.
And a few moments the militia had to bring two or three by, some lepers; the Holy Spirit begin to speak to them and tell them. Just then somebody... You could feel it coming from those mystic men, "Well, that could be a telepathy." The next come by was a blind man. I couldn't do nothing, of course, till you see it done. Certainly. And this blind man... It said, "Your name is..." (I--I just had to spell it). That was right. And said, "You're a beggar, and your wife is a little thin woman; you have two children; they're both boys." Right. Exactly. And the mystic Hindus were setting, watching. I thought, "Oh, God, will You do anything? I kept talking to the man for a few moments. After while I saw a vision above him. He had been blind for twenty years; he worshipped the sun. Now, he thought if he watched the sun till he went blind, he'd go to heaven. He couldn't see sin no more so he'd go to heaven. So he was a sun worshipper. And I said, "You did this through ignorance." And I said, "What about it?"
He said, "The God that will give me my sight, let Him be God."

L-58 I said, "Now, you Mohammedans, and you Jains, and Sikhs, and Buddhists that I was interviewed with this afternoon, here is a man standing here that's totally blind. You said that Christianity was a bunch of people who was creating hydrogen bombs to blow one another up with." I said, "A lot of that's true, but that's not Christianity." I said, "That's so-called Christianity. Real Christianity is the only true and living God that there is." And I said, "This man said he will--he would serve the God that give him back his sight." He worshipped the creation instead of the Creator.
I said, "What would you Mohammedans do to him? You'd proselyte, make him a Mohammedan. You Buddhists would make him a Buddha. Sikhs would make him a..." I said, "It's nothing but psychology." Right. I said, "In America we do the same thing. All the Baptists wants to convert all the Methodists to being Baptists. The Pentecostal wants to make them all Pentecost." What is it? A change of thinking--psychology.

L-59 But I said, "Surely, the God who made him can heal him. Now, if any of you Buddhists can come forth, or Mohammedans, and heal the man standing here, I'll serve your God." Would I have said that? Not at all 'less first I saw a vision, not at all. But I said, "You can't do it, and neither can I. But the God of heaven has showed me a vision that the man's going to receive his sight." I said, "If it doesn't happen, I'm a false prophet. You have a right to kick me out of India. If He does do it, you're obligated to the resurrected Christ, to believe Him."
It was a mighty quiet bunch. But when we prayed for the man (this is on record), I took him in my arms and prayed for him and asked God to rec--give him his sight while he was hugged against my bosom. When I turned him loose, God Almighty, my Judge, before tens of thousands times thousands, that blind man's eyes was opened, and he grabbed the mayor of the city and hugged him. That place went into a scream everywhere, and tens of thousands of Mohammedans came to the Lord Jesus. What was the matter?
When I went over there, the Methodist bishop said to me, he said, "You're coming under the wrong denomination; we can't have nothing to do with it." What happened. They've went right back out into Mohammedism, a lot of them, because the Christians conducting themselves like a bunch of puppets or kids. They wouldn't stay there to receive those people to take them and teach them the ways of the Lord. They'll be guilty of that in the day of the judgment. They're guilty, but God's grace is just the same.
