<TITLE>23. Par 70-71</TITLE>L-70 There, she kissed him like that. He said, "Oh, it's dark, mama. Oh, it's dark," pulling that cover back and forth. And I took a hold of his feet. His feet was cold and sticky, and I said--just like if he was dying. And I said, "Can you hear me, brother?"
He said, "Oh, mama, it's dark," he said. And I tried to talk to him; he didn't know, shaking his head like that, and stuff coming out of his mouth. And he said, "Oh, mama, it's dark, it's dark; I don't know where my boat's a going," like that.
And she started crying, wiping them big old cheeks, like that. And--and she said, "You see what I mean, parson?"
I said, "Yes, ma'am."
She said, "Will you pray next, parson?"
I said, "Yes, ma'am." And I knelt down, I said, "You kneel with me." And I put my hands up on his feet; I said, "Heavenly Father, it's after nine o'clock now; my plane's been gone a long time." I said, "I--I pray You to be merciful. I don't know why You led me over here; surely this is the place. This is where--'cause I wouldn't have come this way if You hadn't have led me, and this woman standing here. You never lead us in vain; You always show us what You--what You're doing. So I pray, Father, if--if this is Your will, that You'll let the boy--grant the woman the request and may she--may he be saved. And I pray that You'll heal his body." And while I was yet praying, he said, "Mama, oh, mama, it's getting light in the room." O God. "It's getting light in the room." You know, in a few minutes he was setting up on the side of the bed talking to us. Put that big black arm around me, like that...
I said, "I must go." I started down the street, and I caught a cab, run down real quick and got my suitcase, I said, "Well, I'll go out and catch the plane sometime tonight. It was all right after the war there, and it's awful bad when--to get a plane out. And just as I drove in, they said, "Last call for flight number 172." Oh, that plane stayed on the ground all that time. I got the same plane. See, God makes everything work right, doesn't He? About a year later I was going to...

L-71 [Speaking in tongues and interpretation--Ed.] God, O Father, how we thank You for this warning to us. Lord, I know it's not in vain. O God, let the people see we're only trying to get them to trim their lamps to get ready. The hour's approaching, Lord, when all these signs, the sleeping virgin now hunting for oil, all these things... To hear Your Spirit come down and vindicate the message that it's true, God, I pray that You'll bless the people. Let them be warned of God tonight, and have no rest until they have trimmed their lamps and--and got ready to meet the Bridegroom. Grant it, Father. Amen.
How beautiful. Did you notice that man? Did you notice how them... You--you Pentecostal people, letting discernment puzzle you? Look how much greater this is than that. See? How that--that... See, the very sound of the voice that man was giving. See the interpretation come in the same (See?), same way, just about the same length, same amount of paragraphs and everything. It's the Holy Spirit. I'm telling you the truth. It's true. Oh, sinner friend, seek the Lord now. Call upon Him while He--while He may be heard. Hear Him, hear Him is my prayer.
