<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 I've had a very sad experience in my life recently of losing my mother, which was a very sweet Christian woman. But her--her going was quickly. I haven't time to tell it tonight. I want to at one of the meetings, some of the little breakfasts somewhere, and how that the Lord sent me away for this to happen. He gave me a vision where to go and what would happen. Then on the road back... And the sweetness of watching mother come to the end of the road, and holding her in my arms, or by the arm, and committing her soul to God, and seeing that dear, old, saintly woman as she was going out when she could no more speak...
And I said, "Mother, does Jesus still mean the sweetness to you as He did the day you received the Holy Ghost? You cannot speak, I know. But if it's real, just bat your eyes real fast." And she'd bat her eyes, and the tears would just run down her cheeks, and she went to meet the Lord. That night He came to me in a vision and showed me her the way she was then. I just can't keep from inviting people to press on to that (See?), laying... Never miss that, friend.

L-10 And now, many times the way that we stand... We don't disfellowship anyone because the way they believe, but being Pentecostal, and having the Pentecostal experience... I've seen it come in my family, the ones right down to the end of the road, and watch them until their soul went out. And I tell you, I'm so glad that I've got that experience, I--of being a Pentecostal experience in me. And I just want everyone to have it. Don't miss it. Whatever you do, don't miss the experience.

L-11 Usually in my meetings, everywhere I go, it's always about praying for the sick. I don't know. It's--it's been very successful. The Lord has blessed, answering my prayers many times. And I wonder, just before I spoke to you, was there any come tonight to be prayed for something? so I could change my text around a little bit. If you was going to be prayed for, I was going speak on something on Divine healing. And if not, I was going to speak on something else.
Is there anyone here to be prayed for, would like to be prayed for? Raise up your hand, so I can get just a general... Hmm. My, that's... Well, I wrestled around about a half-hour awhile ago. Say, by the way, is Billy Paul here, my son? Billy Paul, are you here? Got some prayer cards out there? Go get some, while I'm talking a little bit, give them out. See, if you don't sometimes they keep coming back, and back, and back and forth in the line like that. You never get to the end of it. So... and so...
If you're going to have that many... We want every one of them, but not twice (You see?), 'cause many of the people here are--come from a long ways. And I'll speak quietly just for a few moments on something another that will try to help, and to bring faith up to that spot where we can pray for the sick.

L-12 You got a wonderful pastor, and co-pastor here, wonderful board, wonderful church, wonderful people. And the other day I was speaking at one of the meetings out here in Phoenix, in the--the first meeting, and I was saying, as the wife and I was going down the street, why, how that this valley must've looked a few hundred years ago, and what it looks like today.
And today we took a trip and went up on South Mountain, and way up above the city there, out of the atmosphere of the city. We were setting there together speaking about the Lord, and how good He'd been to us. And just--the Holy Spirit just so sweetly moved into the car, and just... And I looked down in the valley where little Joseph and I went down not long ago when I was here. And he and I set down there, and held each other's hands, and prayed (my little boy). And I asked God when I left, Let me be able to lay my Bible in his hands, and let him stay with it, just with the Word; and it'll be a contribution to Him sparing my life and helping me.
