FINAL  Part 6

INTO THE BIBLE

And of course I was believing her.

Do you know what I'd do every night?  I'd go home from church with that woman.  I'd say, "You go to bed, but let me go to the basement." I'd lay my Bible down on a chair, and there I challenged God.  And I'd say, "God, did you hear what the preacher said?  Did you hear it, God?"  And then I'd throw out everything I could remember that the preacher said.

I said, "God, you heard every word, didn't you, now, if you're God? And the Bible is the Word of God.  And God you're real.  I want what those people have.  But if you're not God, and the Word of God is not your Word, then, God, please don't give to me what those people have."

Let me tell you, I challenged God.  I put Him to a test.  God will not give you anything that's not of God.  Don't you worry.

And every night I continued to do that - four or five nights - and I didn't eat either.  I couldn't sleep.   And I've lost my appetite.  And I was losing a lot of weight.  It was terrific.
 
REPENTANCE

But, you know, one night, I come back to church.  And out of the clear blue sky, right in the middle of that man's service, I just got out of my seat. And with both hands up in the air I come running right straight down an aisle like this and I fell in that altar and I cried out, "My God, forgive me for all my sins."  I was a sinner.

I mean, God met me there!  Praise His wonderful name!  There was a pool of water on that floor.  I was sorry for everything that I did in the convent. I stole potato peelings.  I stole bread.  I told lies.  I called the Mother Superior names under my breath.  And I want you to know that God met me down there and He forgave me of every sin there was in my life.  And how I thank and praise Him for it.  Praise His wonderful name.

God's been very good to me.  Very good to me.

Three nights previous to that [transcriber: she obviously meant three nights AFTER that], I went back to Church, God filled me with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. May I say to you, God means more to me than all the material wealth you have in this city.  I'd rather have Jesus than anything you might have, because I've found Him to be the best friend that I've ever known.  I can tell Him anything I want to tell Him, and he won't call you up and tell you what I told Him.  I can sit at His feet and tell Him, every day of my life, "Jesus, I love you.  Jesus, I love you."  And every secret of my heart I can pour out to Him, and I don't worry about Him calling you up and telling you what I told Him.

He's the best friend you'll ever have.  He's able to save you.  He's able to deliver you.  He's able to loose you from the things of this world.  Set you free to know Him.  Praise His name.

I have a wonderful God.  I love Him--supremely.  I'd rather have Jesus than anything that you might have.  God is real in my life.  Really wonderful. My God delivered me out of the convent.

Pray for me.  I need much prayer.  I'll be going places where it's predominantly Roman Catholic.  I'll have to suffer much, but I'm willing to suffer for Jesus that I might tell someone about Him. And give my testimony of a dear little Nun that girls might be spared from convents.  So, pray for me, won't you.

God bless you.
