<TITLE>08. Par -</TITLE>L-9-2 Now, all my life, since I've been a little boy, there's been something that has bothered me. And I've had a very odd life, hard to understand. Even my wife scratches her head and says, "Bill, I don't believe anybody can understand you."
And I said, "I don't understand myself," because I submit--commit myself to Christ many years ago. He does the leading. I don't try to understand it. I just go where He leads, the best of my knowledge.
I am thankful for a wonderful wife and children, and for my wife and children who has confidence that I would not tell them anything wrong. That they believe... Every time you tell them anything, they hold right with it. They know that I wouldn't tell them anything wrong. And would I tell one of God's children anything wrong then? Not wilfully, no, sir. God wants His children in the right kind of training. And be honest with them and truthful with them, and He will bless it, I believe.

L-9-5 Now, all along down through the journey, there's been things that's happened that I couldn't understand. And one of the things that I could not understand was when I was a little boy and them visions would come upon me. And I'd see them and tell my parents the things that was going to happen. They thought I was just nervous. But the strange thing, it happened just the way It said so. You say, "Was that before your conversion?"
Yes. "Gifts and callings are without repentance," the Bible said. You're born in this world for some purpose. And you don't... Your repentance don't bring gifts; they are predestinated to you.
Now, along the road... And when I was a little boy my longing was... I was dissatisfied in the country I lived in. I longed somehow to go west.

L-10-1 And I was operated on, when I was shot, when I was a little boy. And when I come from under the first anesthetic, I thought I was in torment, going down. The ether had me out. And I'd been gone out for eight hours; I think. They was worrying about getting me around to myself again. They had a great operation with no penicillin. Blood... Both legs almost shot off with a shotgun... A little boy friend let his gun go off.
And then about seven months later, I took another anesthetic, and when I came from under that anesthetic, I thought I was standing out on the western prairies and a great golden cross in the sky, and the glory of God shining down off of it, me standing there like this.

L-10-3 When the Light, which you see on the picture tonight, that's been proven to be a Supernatural Being by scientific research... To me it was the same Light that struck down St. Paul. Is the same Light that led the children of Israel by night. Did you notice here, this Angel, He was clothed in a cloud. See, He was a cloud by day.
Now, that same Light... As to people not understanding, first thought that it was wrong, that I was just saying that. But the Holy Spirit happened to have the scientific instruments, and the people there, for a vindication, and took the picture of It several times. I said, "I see a person shadowed to death," black shadow over them.
