Full Transcript
The time when I sensed most powerfully what really was happening was I think the last day when I called him. I was standing in a telephone booth and before the conversation was over it was as if the glory of God had come and filled that telephone booth. I do not know but one other moment in my life when I felt the immediacy of the presence of God.
When I got back to Asbury and got into his auditorium, what I found was exactly what I knew in that telephone booth. God was there.
