<TITLE>11. Par 29-30</TITLE>L-29 All of a sudden something happened. Now, I'm speaking these words with this Bible open. Something happened, and a like a--a--a coming down of a--of anointing that I'd never felt like that. And I--Something said, "Stand up." And I stood up. Lyle and Banks dropped their poles and looked. Lyle said, "What's the matter with him?"
Banks said, "Watch; something's fixing to happen."
And Something said to me, "Speak to that little fish, and he will live again." The gills was white, was hanging out of its mouth. I said, "Little fishy, Jesus Christ gives you your life." And God in heaven Who's my solemn Judge, that fish turned over and swam down through that water as hard as he could go.
And Mr. Lyle Wood just fell right over into the boat. He said, "That was for me because I said to the little fellow, 'You shot your last wad.'"
And I said, "No, it wasn't that." I said, "Now, the strange thing to me is this, that how God, the great Jehovah God, would use His power to bring a little old fish, for we'd cut up two or three hundred of them the night before, but would use His power to bring that fish to life, and I've got at least three hundred spastic children on the list up there, praying for them to see a vision for them: around three hundred spastic children."
I said, "That's one thing that I--I--I can't understand how God would do such a thing as that on that little old fish, and human beings laying dying, cancer cases, leukemia, all kinds of sickness, around the world, from everywhere. And then He would bring to life that little fish."
Just about that time something said, "Mark 11:23," same Scripture. When lepers was laying all over the country, sickness laying everywhere, and God used His power to curse a tree... God's concerned about the tree, about the fish; everything belongs to God. And He was showing His power to show that He's God over the trees, He's God over the fish. And the little fish came to life. I just couldn't catch that; still the Scripture hanging with me. How could it be?

L-30 Fred Sothmann, a friend of mine, bosom friend from Canada, He's here in the meeting somewhere, was with me in a New England campaign just last year. And we went over in the Adirondack, where I was lost at that time, and the only time I was ever lost in the woods in my life. And I wanted to show Brother Fred where my wife and children was--or Billy, was waiting for me to come back when I was lost in that snow storm that night. And when we were standing there by the side of a little lean-to where I'd had Meda and Billy laying in this mea--lean-to while I was hunting bear...
Well, I stepped out to one side ,and the Spirit of the Lord came upon me and I begin to shake. And it said, the Spirit of the Lord said, "There is a trap set for you, and be thou careful what you say."
Fred, where are you at? Are you in the meeting here tonight? I know he come over. Yes, right back here. That's right. And we left there and I told Brother Sothmann, "Something's fixing to happen." And when we got to the meeting that night I said to the audience, "Remember, THUS SAITH THE LORD, there is a trap set for me. And all of you pray that I'll know to do the right thing when this comes to pass."
