<TITLE>26. Par 98-100</TITLE>L-98 And--and that Angel of God, at five o'clock in the morning, April 6, 1909, at five o'clock in the morning, come right in and stood over that little bed where I was laying. They didn't know what... My people before me were Catholic. And so there was no Catholic churches up there, and so they taken me over to a little Baptist church. And there I made my first visit to a church. The Baptist church is called "Opossum Kingdom Baptist Church. Opossum Kingdom Baptist Church." There's where I made my first visit to a church. And from--when I was just about two years old, the first vision come, from that it's come on, and on, and on, and I'm fifty-one years old now.
So you see, it's--it's the vision. When He told me, said, "You were born for this purpose, to pray for sick people." I said, "They won't believe me."
He said, "As Moses was given two signs, you're given two signs." He said, "One of them, just take the people by the hand and don't use your thinking." See? Said, "And it'll be told you what's wrong."
Well, I did that. I watched how things went for awhile, watching people. And then, I told you that this other will take place. Now, you see, it's taken place. Now, the next thing's coming in. See? Perhaps, be all mostly overseas, 'cause I feeled it pulling overseas.

L-99 But now, that you might know that It is God, It's His... It's the... Brother, sister, that vision, that Angel, God in heaven knows that's true. What good would it do me to stand out here, telling you people these things? I--I don't get paid for it. You know that. My church pays me. My love offerings is overseas missions; I--ask the secretary here, I... That's right. See? I never see it; it goes for overseas. I go over there and preach the gospel, over in other countries. The expenses is paid. The brethren, the chairman and them can tell you, I don't get money. I--I don't have it. I get one hundred dollars a week from my church. Well, I get that just staying home, and going fishing every day, and pastoring a church on Wednesday night and Sunday morning (See?), at that little old Baptist tabernacle. That... It ain't money.
If it go on, be money, I could been a millionaire, if I had wanted to be. I was give a million five hundred thousand dollars in one offering, one time. Not all--from one person. That's right. FBI agents brought it to me. I got the piece out of the paper and things. I said, "I even refuse to look at it." I said, "I wouldn't have it. No, sir. I don't want it."

L-100 So what am I standing out here for? Why am I home having my family and everything, much better off, and live a life like that instead of gone from the family, and a toil, and a weary, and a crying, and pull and a persuade. It's because that I've got a commission. I must do it. Many times, doubters, people raising up, and--and--and people saying, "Oh, there's nothing to it."
That--that's a whole lot--that hurts. You see? But just the same, that--I don't ask for a flower bed of ease. I expect it. Yes, sir. I must fight, if I must reign. Yes, sir. I've got it to do. Our Lord did. So I'm here to try to help you in the best that I know how. I'm trying to help you.
And please believe me, if I tell anything, and God backs it up, and says it's truth, the Bible said, "To hear him, 'cause I'm with him." Is that right? Now, I'm telling you that each one of you can be healed. You are already healed, you can just recognize it. That's right.
