<TITLE>02. Par 8-16</TITLE>L-8   Not long ago, my son and I was... went into Bombay, India, where I think we had the greatest altar call I ever had the Lord to do in our meetings. Was... We couldn't estimate how many come to Christ, because it was estimated around a half a million in one gathering, about five hundred thousand. And there was a great strenuous time on. And there was the Hindus, the holy men. And, oh, my, talk about religion, India has got it! That afternoon, I was entertained by seventeen different religions of India, and every one of them denied Jesus Christ: every one of them: Mohammedan, Buddha, Sikh, Jain, oh, so many of them. And I never said nothing. I just listened to them. As, we had to take our shoes off, to go into the temple of the Jains.

L-9   That night, before a host that I couldn't see the end of them, and when the people begin to come up; the militia had to let the people come, one at a time. The first come, was a leper; had no arms, and ears was eat off. Anyone knowed what his trouble was, of course. And then after two or three passed by, why, there was the Holy Spirit, revealing. Course, when the anointing comes on, then you can tell what the people is thinking. See, you pick it up. And they were thinking it was something like a telepathy.

L-10 And anyone, that knows what telepathy is, would, it would be a... If you thought that such as the Holy Spirit discerning would be telepathy, why, then, you don't know much about telepathy.

L-11   So then these holy men, and Rajahs, and so forth, on their pillows and... So they were piled on top of one another, was two or three smothered to death, in the meeting, and just trying to pile in. And I only had two days to stay.

L-12 And I couldn't get protection... Cause, I had to have it in the city, was only way we get protection. Outside of the city, there had been a lady come through, that had caused a little trouble, and two or three got stabbed to death, and they wouldn't give me protection outside the city. And it certainly was an awful thing to see.

L-13 But about the fourth man came by, was fourth or fifth, was a man blind, and he was a beggar. Of course, India has four hundred and seventy million people, and it looked to me like about four hundred million of them were beggars. I never seen so many beggars! And it's such a pitiful thing. When, we don't know how well off we are, till you have to take a trip like that, once.

L-14   Here is a mother laying in the street, her little baby starving. Its little gums is down against its lips. Its little... It can't cry no more. The mother is starving, too. She wants to give you the baby, keep it from dying; anything, keep it from dying. And here, well, you take it? Here is another one, here is another one, another one, oh, you, just there's no end to it. And there they are, and so pitiful. And they're human beings that Christ died for.

L-15 And there, that night, standing there, and this blind man came up. The Holy Spirit said, now, "He's a beggar, and he's a worshipper of the sun. He's been blind twenty years." Well, as soon as that was said, you could pick up, you know. They have you...

L-16   When you go to a place like that, you better know what you're talking about, 'cause they'll challenge you to it, just at any time. And you better be sure that God sent you. You don't play church there. You have to really have what you're talking about. It's all right here in America, but don't never try to hit the field 'less you're really positive. And then in Africa, and those witch doctors and so, they're--they're spiritualists. They don't just fool with some psychology. They are--they are demon-possessed, and they have power. And it takes only the power of God, can override it. And I've never seen a time, though, but what our great and glorious Lord Jesus rode over the top of all of it, and won the victory every time. I say that as His servant, in His Name.
