<TITLE>14. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 My last meeting in Chicago, there was a colored lady standing on the platform. I--I beg your pardon, I believe it was a white woman, that was standing on the platform. And the night before, a little old Swedish woman was there, and Billy seen her reach down put so much money into an offering for Brother Osborn for his African Black Gold call, his campaign. And Billy said to me, "How did that poor little woman, with the little spotted-looking dress on, how did she ever have that much money to put in that offering?"
And so when Billy started out, she said, "Give me a prayer card, honey."
Said, "I haven't got any more." He went over to Gene or Leo one, who was giving them out, and asked, they didn't have any more. So he said, "Sister, I'll see you tomorrow night and give you one."
Said, "All right, honey." And goes up into the balcony somewhere, and sets down. I never knew of it.

L-53 Then when I come in on the platform that night, and one woman was on the platform; she was setting up there, and she broke through that barrier into a place where God operated on her faith. There when she hit that spot, it said, "That little woman setting way up yonder in that second balcony, second person in, with that little checkered dress on, her name is Mrs. So-and-so-and so, and she's praying for her husband, who's a dispatcher on the railroad, deaf in one ear." And she almost fainted; she was a Lutheran. And it--when she got home, and the Lord said, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, he's healed." When she got home, that night, he was standing at the door rejoicing. And at that very same minute, his ear come open when he was setting on a seat at the dispatcher's office.

L-54 A colored woman setting out there saw that and believed. And she was believing for her sister, who'd been ten years in a mental institution in Little Rock, in the insane asylum. And the Holy Spirit come to her, and told her who she was and who her sister was, and said, "She's been a raging maniac, butting her head against the wall for ten years, but THUS SAITH THE LORD, she's just been healed." And the next morning, when they went through the door, the matron found her standing at the door, begging to get out, in her normal right mind. She'd sent word to her sister, Chicago, she screamed out, she said, "Merciful God, that's what was said on the platform last night."
She said, "Dear, I know you got no money, but I'll send you a airplane ticket, right quick; get here; the meeting closes tomorrow night."
And the woman, who had been in a mental institute ten years, the very next night stood on the platform and give praise to Almighty God.
What was it? Her sister broke through that place of the things of the world. Things of the world don't only mean smoking, and drinking, and show running, means unbelief. She broke through all of that till she found that her faith overcome. She said, "If God can do that for that white woman, God can do that for me, a colored woman." God did it, and God will do it every time that our faith overcomes doubt. No matter how bad it is. Oh, He lives.
