Around the World in 88 Years -E Book - Arthur Burt

In Dungannon, Ireland, as I walked down a country lane rejoicingin my growing health, I took the unused little bottle of pillsout of my pocket and tipped them out into a field near someinterested cows. Whether the cows ever ate them, I don’t know.The weeks rolled by, and not once did I look at my sick leg, untilone night while bathing, I lost the soap. I looked all around thebath water trying to find it, when I discovered my right leg wasas healthy as my left leg. I returned home refreshed, strengthened,and completely healed.All that God has told me is to go and walk the land.Much to Archie Friday’s dismay, I began to break loose from myresponsibilities with the church. He pleaded with me not to doso, but I had it settled with the Lord and knew I had to go. Someof the brothers thought I shouldn’t leave a secure position withthe church to do what they considered foolishness. One of themcame to me with his misgivings. “Where are you going?” he asked.“I don’t know,” I told him. “All that God has told me is to go andwalk through the land.”“You’re crazy, Man,” he said. “Do you mean to tell me you aregoing to just turn up at peoples’ houses?”“Well,” I replied, “Where the appointment of God is, there theprovision is. Nobody would be happier than me if I find out itdoesn’t work. I don’t want it to work.”“This is the craziest thing I ever heard of!” He shook his head atme. “You are being most impractical with your young family...just going out, not knowing where you’re going.”“Brother,” I declared, “if I come back within a few days or weekslike a dog with its tail between its legs, and if I have to say I’vebeen wrong, I’ll be delighted to be wrong. I don’t want to beright! I’ve got a feeling within me, though, that God is sendingme out.”This was the beginning of a ministry that would take me, notonly all over Great Britain, but eventually, all over the world.143
