<TITLE>06. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 And there was... I happen to pass by a shop that had fishing tackle in it. So I went up in the little doorway there to look for the fishing tackle, or act like I was looking for it. And I seen the big Irish cop over there giving signals and letting the people cross. No one around me, and I bowed my head, and I said, "Lord, was that You speaking to me to go back?"
And Something said, "Turn, and go back."
I was sure It was God. I believe that people who are borned of the Holy Spirit understand what I'm talking about, just something impressing you so, not a audible voice or a vision, but just something that impresses you. People are born, set in the church to see visions and so forth. But the Holy Spirit works in many different ways. And it's just as real the Holy Spirit one way as it is the other way. It's all the Holy Spirit.

L-24 So I turned and started walking, walking, and I just kept on walking. Finally, I found myself down in the colored district. I looked at my watch, and it was ten minutes after seven. "Oh," I thought, "I missed my plane." But Something just kept urging me, "Go on. Just keep on moving."
I trust that that same Spirit tonight when you're prayed for, whether you're prayed for here at the platform or not, will let you get a vision of Christ's promise to you, and just urge you to keep on. "I can just move one finger." Just keep on moving that finger, till you can move a hand, and then an arm, and then a leg, and so forth, and then go on. "I feel just a little better." Well keep praising Him. Keep going on. Don't get off on a side line, "Maybe I will go back in the prayer line again." That's no good. Go on like the way you're going. Just keep being led by the Holy Spirit. That wee little voice, if you'd just open your heart, you'll hear It.

L-25 Notice. As we went on down the street, He and I. He was leading me along. And, oh, it was a beautiful morning. The sun was rising high now. And the--the roses was blooming down in the little clusters of the rambling rose, and so forth. And the fresh rain and the sun coming out had brought the fragrance of the honeysuckle. And it was a--a beautiful morning.
And I was going along there. I did not know no more of where I was going than--than I would known if I'd started out vice versa from the--my hotel tonight. Just going along led by the Spirit, I thought, "Oh, I done missed my plane, so I'll just catch another one. I'm in no hurry anyhow, got three or four days 'fore another meeting." I just kept on walking along, just thinking, "Lord, I don't know where You're taking me to, maybe a place of prayer."

L-26 I passed by a bunch of little shacks, like, where the--the-- some of the colored people live. I looked, leaning across a--a gate...
And to my dear loving colored friends, tonight, me trying to impersonate this woman's voice now. I'm not trying to make light of your grammar, because mine's worse than yours. But she was leaning out, a typical Aunt Jemima, with a--a man's shirt tied around her head, great big fat cheeks. And she was looking down the street when I come up.
And I was singing that little song that you Pentecostal people sing, about "I'm So Glad I Can Say I'm One of Them." I believe that's the way it goes.
 They were all gathered in the upper room,
 All praying in His name.
 They were baptized with the Holy Ghost,
 And power for service came;
 And what He did for them that day
 He will do for you the same.
 I'm so glad that I can say, I'm one of them.
And I was trying to learn that little song.
