Prayers Through Prison Walls
00:02:10

|
| Let me teach you my Sabbath little sermon. | |
| Please, we need it. | |
| One of the women that was on the level with Brother Halverson is Sister Wilkerson, Sister Jean Wilkerson. | |
| I don't know if you know about her in Tulsa. | |
| She prophesied to Brother Hagin more than any other person. | |
| She had a prayer group, very well-to-do woman, had a prayer group during the Vietnam War that met every single night. | |
| God would translate her into the cell with Robison Reisner, who was in the Hanoi Hilton, you know, the prison. | |
| She would go in there by translation and pray for him when he was beaten. | |
| Marvelous woman of God. | |
| So she had prayed all those years. | |
| When she was 65 years old, the Lord said, I want you to get out and share what you know with others. | |
| She had such a presence on her because of all of her prayer life. | |
| People misused her. | |
| They would have her come and preach on Sunday morning, take her out to eat Sunday at noon, talk to her all the afternoon, have her come back Sunday night, Monday night, Tuesday night. | |
| Finally, one morning, she collapsed in the pulpit. | |
| They took her to the hospital. | |
| And in the hospital, they said, this is exhaustion. | |
| And then after a couple days' rest, the Lord visited her. | |
| And he said, do you know how long was the Babylonian captivity? | |
| Yes, 70 years. | |
| She was a great Bible student. | |
| Do you know what caused that 70 years to be? | |
| Well, it was a number of years they didn't let the land rest in the Shemitah years. | |
| And he said, that's right. | |
| So the land took a forced rest of 70 years. | |
| He said, now, what is it that your body is made of? | |
| She said, dirt. | |
| He said, I made, Jesus said, I made the Sabbath for man, not man for the Sabbath. | |
| And every man must take one day and seven to completely rest. | |
| If he does not, his body will take a forced rest. | |
| That is excellent. | |
| I believe that. | |
| It's true. | |
| And I don't always practice it. | |
