<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 Brother Wood's here today somewhere. I haven't seen him since, but I know he's here. He's a book salesman. His son, that boy with a crippled leg, he hardly--have to stand and study sometimes which leg it was fixed. He's married and got two fine children. He and his wife is with us today. David, are you in somewhere, in the building? Would you stand up? If I could see, I... Is he... David... Yes, there he is. There is a witness to the power of God. David Wood, crippled boy by polio, and now living just as normally, and his leg's just as perfect as that--it can be. The grace of God.

L-11 Brother Wood--Brother Banks Wood, and Sister Wood, they're... You know what they done? He's a contractor, and a good one too, builder. He has come up out of a school of contractors and builders. But when He did that, he was converted. I baptized him. He received the Holy Ghost.
And then, 'course, his people being Jehovah Witness, immediately they was going to excommunicate him right now. So his brother came down to talk to him, and he wanted to know where this quack preacher was that he was running and fooling with. And Mr. Wood sold out everything he had, rented his homes, and moved over and lives right next door to me, of all the places, right next door. And I tell you, I'm glad I can say this about Brother Wood this afternoon: he's a Acts 2 Christian, a real man.

L-12 And his brother come down to talk to him. And they were... His father was a reader in the Jehovah Witness and a good man. And I'd never seen any of his people. So his brother come down to talk to him, and wondered where that quack preacher was.
Said, "He's out there mowing grass in the yard."
I come in with an old tore up hat on, set down and talked to him, and the Holy Spirit came down and said, "You are a... You're a married man. You've left your wife. You have two little boys."
And he looked around to Brother Wood back there, as if to say, "Yes, you told him that."
I said, "I know what you said, but he never told you this. You're running around with a woman, and she has got auburn hair. And a couple nights ago you were standing at the door. Somebody knocked on the door. It's a good thing you didn't go when you looked through the window, 'cause the man would've shot your head off with a pistol."
That done it. Then I baptized him. He got the Holy Ghost. Then down come the sister, a lovely woman come down; she wanted to see what it was all about. I baptized her; she got the Holy Ghost. Then the father got all stirred up, and he come down. Right. He was going to come down and straighten me out right, 'cause I was all wrong in my doctrine.

L-13 Brother Wood said, "Let's just take him fishing."
I said, "All right." So we started to go down in Kentucky, fishing. I was just going to let him do the talking. That's the best way, you know. Let them name the thing.
So that morning... It rained all night, and the next morning when we crossed the Ohio River, I said, "Well now, all the streams..." A vision came, and I said, "All the streams are going to be muddy. We'll not be able to fish until we get to this place where we're going, about a hundred miles. And then, it's going to be real pretty and clear. And we're going to fish. The rain just bypassed it, so we could fish. And then, we're going today, not going to catch anything."
