<TITLE>10. Par -</TITLE>L-610-75 All night, in the corn field, I prayed. Well, since a little baby... I believed gifts and callings are without repentance; I've always been able to see visions. And the next morning they asked me to speak, and I did. Outside there was many people who came to me and invited me to their meetings, yet I was a Missionary Baptist. So I--I just went ahead and let it go like that. After a while I was anxious to get ahold of these two angel men. I never heard any...
They'd turn white around the mouth, and raise up and speak with tongues. And the other one stand right up and say, "THUS SAITH THE LORD, 'Jones over here, he did a certain thing day before yesterday. When you walked around the house you picked up that pocketbook that belongs to this man, this man lost over here.' THUS SAITH THE LORD, 'Take it back!'"
"God, have mercy on me, here it is."
See, truth, just say such as that, tell people right out. I thought, "Oh, my, isn't that wonderful." So then I thought, "This is God."

L-611-79 Well, then I got to one of those men, and while I was talking to him, I'd prayed, "God, let me have that, ever what It is." I didn't know what to call it, visions, I didn't know what to call It. And when that thing come before me, and I caught his attention, just kept speaking to him till I caught his spirit, just like the woman did at the... Jesus did, the woman at the well. Just kept talking till I caught his spirit. And he was a Christian, a real, genuine saint of God. I thought, "Blessed be the Name of the Lord."
I met--met the next man coming around the corner about a half hour later, and I talked with him. And if I ever talked to a hypocrite, he was one of them. His wife was black-headed, and he was living with a blond and had two children by her; and yet speaking with the same Spirit this man was speaking with, and giving the same interpretation, just exactly right. Then I knew.

L-611-81 Before my conversion, I had an experience to one time going into a witch camp with Indians. They're devil-dancers. Take a snake and wrap it around them, and do the corn dance, and speak in tongues and interpret it, and tell exactly the truth what's setting amongst the people. And seen a witch take a--a pencil and lay it down, and see that pencil rise up and write in unknown tongues, and interpret it, and tell the people exactly what was going on out through there. In a spiritualist's meeting...
So I said (You see?), "I've got amongst devils," and I left the whole thing go.

L-612-83 So one day up at Green's Mill, I'd been up there praying in my cave, not for that, and I come out and laid my Bible down. I... Musty back in the cave and I wanted some sunlight, and it was in the afternoon, and I come out and laid my Bible down. I was going to read a little while out on the log that lays kind of down the hill. And I just laid the Bible down; I started reading. And the wind blowed and blowed over to Hebrews the 6th chapter. I thought, "Maybe the Lord wants me to read that." I read it.
"We which were once enlightened, made partakers of the Holy Ghost, seeing we fall away... to renew ourselves again unto repentance. The rain bringeth forth the... earth bringeth forth fruits and the rain is sent to water it, and thorns and thistles which is nigh unto rejecting, whose end is to be burned," something on that order.
Well, I read it and I thought, "Well, praise the Lord." Turned it over to another one, I thought, "Well, I'll just read somewhere over in here somewhere else." Laid it down like that, wiped my eyes, the wind blowed it back to Hebrews 6 again. Well, that happened three or four times, as many as three anyhow. I thought, "I don't see nothing wrong with that. What's in there?"
