<TITLE>16. Par 98-116</TITLE>L-98 And I turned and went back to the saddle, feeling my way back. Oh, the sleet getting harder and harder; getting darker and darker. And I sit down there, and just put my coat up like this, or my shirt over the scope again; set down. I thought, "What am I doing here? Why would I come back up here?"

L-99   And I just waited a few minutes. And I started to get up again, and just as plain as I'd ever want to hear, a Voice said, "I am the Creator of heavens and earth! I make the winds and the rain." I took off my hat.

L-100 I said, "Great Jehovah, is that You?"

L-101 He said, "I was the One Who made the winds to cease upon the sea. I was the One Who made the waves to go down. I created heavens and earth. Was not I not the One that told you to speak to those, for squirrels, and they come into existence? I am God."

L-102 Now, when a voice speaks to you, watch the Scripture. If it's not Scriptural, you leave it alone; I don't care how plain it is, you stay away from it.

L-103 I said, "Yes, Lord."

L-104 He said, "Speak to those winds and that storm, and it'll go away." Now, this Bible lays before me, which my life is in That.

L-105 I raised up, I said, "I do not doubt Your Voice, Lord." I said, "Clouds, snow, rain, sleet, I resent your coming. In the Name of Jesus Christ, go to your places! I say that the sun must come out immediately and shine for four days, till our hunting trip is over and I leave with my brethren."

L-106   It was just gushing, just went, "Whoooossssh," like that. And it started go, going, "Whoosh," then it went, "whew, whew, whew, whe." Stopped!

L-107 I stood real still. My brethren up there, and wondering what was happening. And the sleet, rain stopped. There came a wind whirling down through the mountains, lifted up the clouds, and one went this way; east, north, west, and south. And, within a few minutes, the sun was shining nice and warm. That's truth! God knows that's truth!

L-108 I just stood there, just looking around; with my hat off, looking. I... You say... I got numb, all over.

L-109 I thought, "The very God of Creation, it's all in His hands. What's He telling me?"

L-110 And I picked up my gun, wiped off the scope, started to walk back, go down the hill. And Something said to me, "Why don't you stroll with Me through this wilderness, walk with Me?"

L-111 I said, "Yes, Lord, with all my heart; it would be one of the greatest things I could do, was walk with You." So I put my gun over my shoulder, and I started walking down through that; never a axe laid in it, virgin timber, walking through there.

L-112   And as I did, walked along, down along these game trails, I felt like, "I believe I will go up to the place where... yesterday was our anniversary, and I will stand there just a few minutes; just as a little salute to Meda, at where it's a little bunch of quaking asp, up on a little knob." And I said, "I believe I'll walk up there, just as a salute to our anniversary. Then I'll go back down on this other side, in these dark timbers, and walk around, and go around over by, towards Corral Peaks, and come back down that way." Just walking and rejoicing.

L-113 I was saying, "Father, I know You are walking with me. And what a privilege; there is nobody greater I could be walking with; the very God!" And that warm sunshine!

L-114   Even to when I come out of the mountains. I stopped at filling stations, and I said, "Beautiful day!" Three days later. It never rained in that part of the country until the four days was over. The sun shined every day. Is that right, brethren? [The brethren say, "Amen."--Ed.] See? And not a cloud in the sky.

L-115 And I come out to a filling station, I said, "Sure a beautiful day."
"Yes, it is!"
I said, "Been awful dry."

L-116 Said, "It's a strange thing!" This attendant said, said, "You know, they told us we was going to get a big blizzard, but all of a sudden it stopped!"
