And I went over there, and I knelt down. Did you ever feel like, you know, the briers stuck you, and the floor was too hard? Did you ever have that? That’s the time to press on. That’s the devil trying to keep you from it. Move right on. As long as you’re doing right, you can’t be doing wrong. See? You can’t go this way, when you’re going this way. And I know it’s right to pray. And I just kept on praying; the—the wind blew, and a sticker hit me in the face. I just said, “Thank You, Lord.” And kept on praying. And after while, I got lost in the Spirit. Did you ever get lost in the Spirit? Excuse me for talking fast like a bush on fire, but I’m trying to hurry up. But I just got lost in the Spirit. I didn’t hardly know where I was at. I heard that bell ring, but I was having too good a time with God then to think about supper. And the bell rang and rang. And I knowed it was getting dark. And I was just praying. I said, “Thank You, Lord, for Your goodness.”
