him. They came to a hill that had steps going up
it. At one time men must have quarried stone here. There was one block
of stone sitting out at the foot of the steps, and The Guide motioned
for Red Cat to sit. "Stay awhile," he ordered, "we will answer your
questions."
24 Red Cat was looking at his Guide. "We?" he asked.
25 The Guide pointed to the steps, and when Red Cat looked back,
hundreds of people sat on them. They wore the clothes of all
different years. The men were all
handsome, the women all beautiful. "Lord," he asked, "how do you do the
things you do? How do you make a sword glow with fire? How do you make
the
lightning strike down our enemies? Or, were these just circumstances?"
26 "It is not a coincidence," answered one man, "when We guide Our
Children to a place we know a storm is going to be, and then direct
that storm's fury against the enemy. We have two kinds of Power that We
use for Our Peoples' benefit..... one is The Natural Power of this
world, the Power that is generated by the wind and the rain, The Power
that is in all living things, THIS we can use for many purposes.
27 There is also The Power that Our Children make, and send Us, and
which We increase, and use to do many wonders through those of Our
Servants, which are the instruments of Its use."
28 Red Cat shook his head. "I am a stupid man, Lord," he remarked. "I
hear your words, and I know they are true, but to me they make no
sense."
29 The Lord speaking put back his hood. "In order to heal your wounds,"
he continued, "We had to use a great deal of Power that We had stored
for many years. It was made from the people's prayers.
