<TITLE>03. Par 16-23</TITLE>L-16 And that night, Billy, when he went back there, still against what he had said, that he had his brother-in-law there who was bleeding with hemorrhages from the lungs, and his sister-in-law there who was bleeding from the stomach with ulcers, also that they'd come in with them, kind of on the side of helping them get in. You have to watch; there'd be a whole room full. You see? But going through and praying for them, we get a letter back through the mail that that man has perfectly healed of that cancer of his lungs; the woman, the wife in the wheelchair, is up going around just normal as she ever was; the man with the hemorrhages of the--of the lungs from tubercular is completely well, and his wife is well of the ulcers. Four of them healed straight, I wonder if the newspapers would be willing to print that? See, see? See? Oh, but God still is God. He just does things in His Own way, you know, and He's so good. We're so happy to know that He is God.

L-17 We was talking the other morning about a little preacher that we know that used to go around and pray for the sick and everything, and he went and prayed for a person in the hospital in Louisville, and a tubercular case, the lady died. The little fellow said, "Well, there's no need... God ain't... There ain't no God; He'd keep His Word." But, "I anointed her just like--like the Bible said. If He don't keep His Word, He's not God." Said, "It's just a Book."
Now, that would seem like that unless you knowed God. That's part of the Scriptures, but it's not all of the Scripture. It's upon the basis of the faith of the individual. See?

L-19 And I told my wife, I said, "There's been so many things happen, that I just know that there is. I don't know what's going to happen to me at the end. I may go the same way. If God ever moves His hand of mercy from me, I'll go the same way. But as long as He'll keep His hand of mercy and guidance upon me, I'll go on." But I asked Meda; I said, "Who was it in the room that morning after the vision of me seeing my little girl, Sharon?"

L-20 By the way, the other day, I like to have fainted; I was setting on the street. And you know my story of the vision of her after... And I looked, coming by my side, and there come a young girl down the street here in Jeffersonville, was just exactly like that vision. I just had to grasp my hands together. Looked so much like that vision of my little Sharon; she was a young woman then.
And after that vision that morning when in glory, I--Hope was telling me, had her arm around my shoulder, saying, "Don't worry about us, Bill. We're better off." I was just trying to commit suicide. And she said, "Don't worry. Promise me you won't worry any more."
And I said, "I can't promise it, Hope, because I--I--I'm--I worry. I can't help it."

L-23 And I come out of the vision, standing in the dark room. And not a vision, not imagination, but her arm was still around me. And she was patting me. I thought, "Wait a minute. This is not..." I didn't know what to call it in them days, a vision; I called it a trance. I said, "This is. Her hand's still there." I said, "Are you here, Hope?"
She said, "Bill, promise me that you won't worry any more about me and Sharon." 'Cause I was at the end of the road; I was ready to commit suicide. I said, "I promise you." And she hugged me and patted me with her hand. And then I--I said, "Hope, where are you?" I got--felt up and got ahold of the little chain on the light and pulled it. I went around, searched through every chair to see if she was setting there. He's God. He's just as much God today as He was on Mount Transfiguration when Moses and Elijah appeared. He's still God.
