<TITLE>16. Par 128-145</TITLE>L-128 Same thing in Mark 11:23, "If you say to this mountain 'be moved,' and don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you said will come to pass, you can have what you said." But you can't stand there fumble in your mind and say it, you've got to be inspired to say it. Amen!

L-129   Excuse the expression; but that day, setting there in that woods (and God's my judge, and I could fall dead on this pulpit), when that Scripture had stumped me all my life... setting there that morning in the woods, and I was thinking on that, and that Voice spoke to me, He said, "That Scripture is like all Scriptures, It's true."

L-130 And I thought, "Well, how could it be?"

L-131 And He said, "You're..." I said... He said, "Speak, and it will be that way. Don't doubt It."

L-132 And I was talking to Somebody, setting way out in the woods. No squirrels, been there for three days, there's no squirrels there. And I was setting in a sycamore thicket. Squirrels don't even come... anyone that hunt squirrels, know they're not in sycamore. And I had been setting there; and wind blowing real hard, about ten o'clock in the morning, and I was thinking again.

L-133 And It said, "You're hunting, and you need squirrels just the same as Abraham needed a ram."

L-134 I thought, "That's always told me the Truth, but this sounds funny." And I got up from where I was setting, looked all around, "Where is that Person that was talking to me?" Nothing; wind just blowing real hard. And I thought, "Could I have fell asleep and dreamed that? No, I wasn't asleep. I was setting up against the tree there, watching, supposed to pick up Brother Woods and Brother Sothmann back there, just in a little bit, around ten o'clock in the morning. Farmers all out there working, gathering their corn."

L-135   And I heard It again, say, "You are hunting, and you need game. How many do you need?"

L-136 And I thought, "Now, I don't want to overdo this, I'm just going to ask for three, three squirrels. I want young, three red squirrels. I want them."

L-137 He said, "Then speak about it."

L-138 And I said, "I am going to get three young red squirrels."

L-139 He said, "Which a-way will they come?"

L-140 "Well," I thought, "I've went this far, there's Something talking to me here." Just the same as you hear me talking. And God in Heaven, with this Bible over my heart, knows that that's true. And He... And I said, "Well,..." I picked out a ridiculous place, an old dry limb hanging out of there (about fifty yards, where my rifle was shot in).

L-141 I said, "The first one will be right there," and there he was.

L-142 I rubbed my eyes and looked back (I turned my head), and I thought, "I don't want to shoot a vision." So I looked around again, and there set the squirrel. I throwed a shell up in my gun, aimed up, and I could see his black eye, young red squirrel. I thought, "I--I... maybe I'm sleeping, I--I'll wake up in a few minutes. See, I'm dreaming about this." Well, I leveled down, shot the squirrel and it dropped off the limb. I thought, "Well, I don't know." I thought, "Well, should I go over and look for it?" And--and I walked over there, and there it laid. I picked it up and blood run out of it. A vision don't bleed, you know. So I picked it up, and it was a squirrel. I got real numb, all over.

L-143   And I looked around, I said, "God, that was You!" I said, "Thank You, for this. Now I'll go out and..."

L-144 He said, "But you said! Do you doubt what you said? You said you'd get 'three.' Now where will the next one come from?"

L-145 I thought, "Well, if I'm dreaming, I'm going to continue on."
