And just with my pajamas on, slipped on my trousers, my pajama shirt left on;
I wandered out through this broom sedge field, to just about where this stands now,
and I knelt down to pray for my father.
And while I was praying and asking God to save him and not to--to let him die a
sinner, that I loved him; and while I was in prayer, I raised up to look up towards the east from here, and there was a vision.
And standing just above me, many of you knows the vision, was the Lord Jesus.
Now, I'm not allergic to illusions, as I know of. But visions are real.
And there stood the Lord Jesus, the first time I had ever saw Him in a vision of that type.
He was just about, oh, probably ten feet above my head, standing in mid-air, with one foot just making a step.
He had on a white garment, a fringe around the side of it. He had hair down to His shoulders.
He looked to be about, a Man about what the Bible said He was, about thirty. But, a small, thin-built Fellow, very small,
looked like He wouldn't weigh over a hundred and thirty pounds.
