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

olled up my newspaper and waved it, but nobody stopped. Thecars swooshed around me and went on their way.As I stepped forward to wave to an approaching truck, I heardthe screech of brakes, and somebody shouted, “Brother Arthur!”It was Jean Nichols, the girl who had typed my first book, TheLost Key. She looked like an angel from heaven. I picked up mytwo cases and ran over to her car.“Oh, this is God!” she exclaimed. “You don’t know how muchthis is God.”I thought, “No… you don’t know how much this is God.”“Come on, Brother, get in.” I settled into my seat, and she introducedme to her young man. “Will you come with us? We are onour way down to Darlington to Brother Stuart’s meetings,” shesaid. “This is really God that I saw you there.”“I believe that,” I agreed, thinking how hard it had been, until Iheard Jean’s voice, to believe the Lord had really led me out tothat desolate spot.When we walked in, the meeting was in progress. Cecil spottedme from the platform and said, “Well, here is Brother ArthurBurt. Isn’t that wonderful! I believe God has sent him tonight tominister to us. Come on up here, Brother.”The anointing of God was on me when I ministered a messagethat night. God had wanted me there, but how He got me there,set my head spinning! Everything in me was in reverse.People have often remarked to me, “You seem often to havegone by the Spirit like Philip did.” When the Spirit said to Philip,“Go,” he didn’t stop to consult his little book of engagements,but the Bible says that he ran, instantly obeying the voice. Thishas been the way God has led me.There are other instant ministries in life. If you collide on life’shighway, you don’t book an ambulance like a hairdo at the beautyclinic. If your house is on fire, you don’t ring up the fire brigadeand ask, “When can you give us a booking?” If you have a fireby arrangement, you’ll probably have the police after you.174
