<TITLE>11. Par -</TITLE>L-13-2 One day, coming down five years ago from Brother Norman's, I was driving down the road. And I just had a meeting up there, and the Lord God appeared to me in a vision. And I was setting in front of my gate up here at my house. And it seemed to be bad weather.
Many of you people will remember the vision. It's wrote in my book of visions. I put them down so that I'd be sure that I don't forget them.
And in this vision I saw, there was something that had come through the lane, and there was stones lying all over my yard. And there was graders and scrapers up and down the lane, and trees had been cut down and rooted up. And I started to turn into the gate, and it was all blocked off with stones. And I got out to say to the man, "Why this?" And he got very hostile, shoved me backwards and said, "That's the way with you preachers."
I said, "I only ask you, why do you do this? You--you're coming over on my side of the street here. Why did you do this?" And he just almost slapped me and shoved me back.

L-13-6 And I thought, "I am just going to tell him that he doesn't know what he is talking about," and a voice spoke, said, "Don't do that. You are a minister."
And I said, "Very well."
And I turned around, and to my right, setting in front of the gate, was an old prairie schooner. If you know what: a covered wagon, with horses hitched to it. And setting opposite the driver's side was my wife. I looked back in the back, and my children was setting back there. I climbed up on the wagon. I said to my wife, "Honey, I've stood all I can stand."
And I picked up the lines, and pulled the lead horse, and started heading westward. And a voice said to me, "When this comes to pass, then go westward."

L-13-9 Brother Wood, the contractor here in our church, and trustee... How many remembers the vision now? Remember me telling you? Sure. It's wrote out on paper. And I said to Brother Wood. He bought from the church this lot in between there. And he was going to build a stone house there. I said, "Don't do it, Brother Wood, 'cause they would never give you your money out of it." Perhaps maybe... That was years ago, five years ago, I said, "They're going to maybe bring that bridge through here, and them stones were probably my basement bursted up and my walks and things lying out here. Instead of being stones, it was hunks of concrete, and then they're going to put that down here; 'cause they said in the paper that's what they were trying to do. Well, he did not build it. Finally they decided about a year later, or two, they was going to bring it through down this a-way. So that settled it, so I just forgot it, and let it go.

L-14-1 Now, the strange thing happened about a year ago. I was having services one night down at Brother Junior Jackson's, setting right here, a Methodist minister that's received the Holy Ghost and been baptized into the Name of Jesus Christ, and is pastoring one of our sister churches.
Just to show you how God deals with His people... I say this with all my heart. I don't know of any congregation in the entire world, a congregation together any more, where I believe the Spirit of God is than in this congregation. They've got their differences. They're sure not up to where they should be, none of us, but they're as close as anybody else that I know of.
