One day I been down, turned some fish loose in a little creek. And I was preaching. I was a local Baptist pastor. Over across the--the way was a sick man.
Well, we was supposed to pack a gun, but I never did see any use in packing a gun, shoot somebody with. So I just left it in the truck. And so I thought, "I'll go over and pray for this brother."
And down below there'd been... Oh, a few miles below, there been a big old Guernsey bull that killed a colored man down there. And they had to sell him. So they sold him up near a city, Henryville, Indiana, up near the forestry.

And I'd forgot about them selling that fellow up there. I took out across the field to pray for this man. I got out there in the middle of pasture. And when I did, all of a sudden out of a little clump of bushes, up raised this big bull.
I looked back at the fence; it was too far to run, no tree to get in. And there I was standing there. And here he come. Something happened. I wish that would happen all the time. It just don't do it. But when I see a real tremendous sick case and something happens; it's not man. it's when God can get a hold of man. It's when it's consecrated.

Watch on the platform when the visions happen. Watch when evil spirits, moving up... Watch what takes place. It's a surrender of the to the Holy Spirit. He comes in and takes over. Watch how He controls it. Just watch how it takes place. It's God; It's not man. And if we'd only live in that... God, let us live there.
And as that bull standing about twenty yards from me, rose and here he come, great long horns. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] "This is the end." And instead of hating that bull; it seemed strange; I loved him. I wished I could explain it. But let me tell you something, brother. You'll never come in contact with a greater force in this life than love. Yes, sir. I do not try to conquer demons by kicking them. I love God. See, love is what God is. God is love. Love moves God. "God so loved the world..." It's love. Love's what conquers.
And when this big fellow started towards me, and I knowed it would be death in a few moments, something happened. There was something happened to me, and I loved him. I thought, "Poor fellow, He was asleep. I'm on his ground. I oughtn't to be here." And he started towards me as hard as he could, and I said, "Look fellow, you're God's creative being; I'm God's servant. And I'm on my road to pray for one of God's servant's over here. I'm in the service of my Lord. I'm sorry I disturbed you. Now, you go back in the Name of the Lord Jesus and lay down. I won't bother you."
And He kept coming as hard as he could. I was no more afraid of that bull than I would be of my dear brother setting here by me with a Bible on his lap. That's it.
