Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Ethel Murphy, Ethel Murphy. Would the name Hightower mean anything to you? What would that mean to you?<\/p>\n

Murphy:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Is that Santa Clara County?<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I see. Do you have anything to do with any office at 70 Hereding or Heading Street? Just say yes or no.<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Mm-hmm [Yes]. That\u2019s sufficient. I don\u2019t know anything about you, is that correct?<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s correct.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Uh, I\u2019m not familiar with your de\u2013 your life in any way. I\u00a0see<\/em>\u00a0you at some time, locking a garage door with your left hand.<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Correct.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Very\u00a0valuable<\/em>, but I\u00a0do<\/em>\u00a0see it. Because on that particular time, on that particular occasion, someone would be lurking to do you great harm. But I can\u00a0see<\/em>\u00a0where man cannot see.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong>\u00a0(murmurs)<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>As I said, I know nothing of your life. I\u2019ve never met you personally. You never told me anything or anyone here, is that correct?<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Correct.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Do you believe that God works through me in a\u00a0mighty<\/em>\u00a0way?<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, I do.<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(glossolalia) I see something forming in your bowels and your back. I see some difficulty that you have in the back and your side.<\/p>\n

Hill:<\/strong>\u00a0Correct.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>(glossolalia) Sister, you go to the bathroom, and you\u2019ll be free of the most\u00a0horrible<\/em>\u00a0fate that anybody can free you of.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong>\u00a0(responds)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>I take the growth away.<\/p>\n

Male:<\/strong>\u00a0(sings)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Someone far away. As far away to the East Coast?<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes. My daughter.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You\u2019ve not spoken to me about that. Is that correct?<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Does she have two growths? Two\u2013 Does she have tumors, you say?<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Uh\u2013 What was that?<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Did she have some tumors?<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>From Mexico.<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Hands clasped. I\u2019ve got to make a notation of some need. You\u2019ve certainly had your share\u2013<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Sir?<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You\u2019ve had your share. This has been a\u00a0bad<\/em>\u00a0cycle. It\u2019s been a bad cycle. May the Spirit of the consciousness of the presence of God meet and satisfy every good desire.<\/p>\n

Archie Ijames:<\/strong>\u00a0(speaking close by) Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>If you find yourself in a living room with a blue carpet, the moment you do, reach down and touch it with this cloth. Will you do that?<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Hands clasped. Your husband is older in years, isn\u2019t he?<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Hands clasped. He\u2019s older than\u00a0you<\/em>, I would gather.<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Hands clasped. That means to change your hands. Uh\u2013 He\u2013 Youth\u2013 There\u2019s some problem in his back.<\/p>\n

Gomez:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes. That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Right now, the Spirit of God discerns that. \u2018Cause you\u2019ve told me nothing, I know nothing of your life, but I\u2019m here to\u00a0lift<\/em>\u00a0you up, because I\u2019ve come in the fathership concern, in the fathership consciousness, and I\u00a0reach out<\/em>\u00a0in the love that I am, that God is, that he always shall be, and I heal your body.

(Tape edit)<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Sister Williams. (Tape edit) Is there a Sister Williams on 88th somewhere? 88th. Your hands clasped. God. In your heart, in your heart, you say that I am God sent.<\/p>\n

Williams:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes, I did. I\u2019m saying it again, and I\u2019m explaining it all day and asking the Lord to (Unintelligible word) me to come.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You (Unintelligible word)\u2013 Hands clasped. Don\u2019t\u2013 Don\u2019t\u2013 Don\u2019t say\u2013 don\u2019t say any more. I\u2019m telling you what\u2019s in your\u00a0heart<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Williams:<\/strong>\u00a0Okay.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>So you don\u2019t need to tell me. If I can tell you what\u2019s in your mind and your heart, then I can certainly reach you.<\/p>\n

Williams:<\/strong>\u00a0Okay.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>God Almighty. Are hands clasped? (Hums one note) You have been so good\u2013 You\u2019ve been so good to take care of another loved one \u2018til you\u2019ve worn your own heart down. Your heart has been giving you trouble today. The Spirit of God has come to you to build your faith. Said, faith does not come by reading, as much as we love the truths that are in the Bible. The truths must be brought out by a prophet. How can we hear without a preacher, how can he preach \u2018lest he be sent? Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God\u00a0(Romans 10:14-17, \u201cHow then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.\u201d). Hebrews 4:12 tells us what the word is. Says it will discern the thoughts, and it will know the intents of the heart. It\u2019s sharper than a two-edged sword<\/span>. My sister, I shall reach into your thoughts so that I can build your faith\u2013<\/p>\n

Williams:<\/strong>\u00a0Yeah. Thank you.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>You are from Louisiana?<\/p>\n

Williams:<\/strong>\u00a0Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:\u00a0<\/strong>Been here since 1951?<\/p>\n

Woman:<\/strong>\u00a0That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n
