<TITLE>14. Par 135-142</TITLE>L-135 One day, standing back up on top the hillside at George Wright's, the Holy Spirit said to me, "Rise to your feet." And I looked, and there was a Light shining onto a dogwood tree, said go by the way of Wright's, or, "Go by the way of Carter's."
When I got there, the Lord Jesus had showed her mother a sign that I was coming. Walked into that girl laying there on that bed, so weak that she couldn't even raise the sputum cup. Her mother would hold it, to "uh," trying to spit in the sputum cup, with the TB. I said, "Sister Georgie, Jesus Christ the Son of God met me yonder in the wilderness about a half hour ago, and told me to come, lay hands on you. THUS SAITH THE LORD, stand on your feet."

L-137 The sixth sense went to work, a power struck that girl, for the first time in three year--or nine years and--and eight months, she'd ever been on her feet, jumped to her feet, run into the yards, and blessing the trees and the grass and everything, and went in and set down at the piano and begin to play, "There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood, Drawn from Emmanuel's Veins." Why? Reasonings would have cast down...
She couldn't do it. I don't know now. I'll never know. Only the power of God that held her up. Her legs wasn't that big around, up here at the joints: nothing like it, just like broom sticks. That's been some twelve years ago, or fourteen, and today she's strong and healthy, going for the Lord Jesus.
What was it? The first time, there wasn't nothing seemed to happen, but reasoning would have said it couldn't happen. But, brother, she held onto that Word. If God could take that crippled girl up there at Salem, that Nail girl, had been crippled and paralyzed, and her arms hung down like that, could heal her, He could heal her too. She believed it.

L-140 Brother Hall, laying yonder, dying with a cancer, the same man took me over there. His doctor in Milltown sent him up to this doctor that's in New Albany, down here, that's there at the Saint Edwards Hospital. I forget... He brought my children: fine man, good doctor. He examined him, said, "Cancer." Said to Doctor Brown down in Milltown, said, "He's dying."
Doctor Brown said, "I thought so."
Took him up to his sister's down here, which is a--a relative of Mr. Kopp, used to be the judge in the city. And when he got down there, said, "Just keep him here till he dies."

L-142 And they sent for me to come down. I went, day after day, with my wife, back there. We prayed for Brother Hall. I loved him. He'd been one of my converts to Christ. And he got lower and lower, and he couldn't move his hands.
Mrs. Hall said, "Billy, isn't there something you can do?"
I said, "There's nothing I know, Sister Hall. I can't hear a word from the Lord. "We'd..." I said, "I'd like for my doctor to look at him."
Said, "Who is your doctor?"
I said, "Doctor Sam Adair."
And I called Sam. Sam said, "Only thing, I can send him to Louisville, Billy, for x-rays and things." Said, "I'll give you the report." They sent an ambulance down, picked him up took him; come back.
