<TITLE>11. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 And I believe that this universal revival that's sweeping the lands today is a indication of the Message like it was in the days of Noah, while men and women are rioting in sin. And Noah had a fanatic Gospel that he preached. But he called people to an ark of safety.
And I believe that the glorious Gospel of the Son of God, manifested by the Holy Ghost, is sweeping the country today, and bringing people into the Ark which is Christ Jesus, safely secured from all the judgments that's going to come. And when the judgment strikes the earth, and the atomic powers rock the nations, we'll ride above the waves into glory. I believe it.
And I believe that there's been a little Church that's been called fanatics for a long time.

L-42 Now, I do realize there is fanatics. Certainly there is. There's plenty of them. But a little Church that's tried to struggle, not be any certain denomination or any certain name, but I mean peoples who love God, and has held out for the supernatural, and for God being living in our midst today as He promised He would by the Holy Spirit... And they've been called holy roller, fanatics, and Divine healers, and they've been pushed back in the alleys and been called everything.
But every great picture, before it can be hung in a hall of fame, it has to go through the hall of critics. And I believe the little Church has went through the hall of critics. And now soon, there'll come a scream from the heavens, and God is going to hang It in the hall of fame, to take It out by the rapture, to take It up into glory. And we're seeing signs and wonders, like we are today, to stimulate the faith, to believe that when He comes, that we'll be raptured and caught up together to meet Him in the air with those who've went on before.

L-43 Now, and I believe that many of them has fell away, and backslid, and got away... I use that word, "Backslid." That's kinda hard for a Baptist, isn't it. But I--I believe you can backslide all right. That--that's true. So I--I know that you can.
And I believe It's calling those who was once way-faring men, and has got away from God. I believe It's calling them back, calling the Church together just before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes, when God shall send Jesus the second time to the earth to gather the ransomed, that's been redeemed by His death at Calvary, to take them home to glory.

L-44 And now, friends, now for tonight. I won't take much time longer. I think we want to pray for some sick people tonight, and to get the--the people to where we can have our--ourselves settled. But for a night or so, to more or less be--get acquainted with each other while I'm in prayer. And will you promise me now... Just to be called out like this once right into the meeting, it's kind of a little shock to me. Would you pray with me that God will grant it?
Now, I cannot do a thing about it until He comes to me. You see? I'm just as helpless as any creature in the world until He comes. He may come in tonight right while we're in the prayer. I trust that He will. It never did so quickly. Usually I fast and pray two or three days, then I begin to feel it off from me, and then It comes near me. After while It's on me, and then that... I... It just changes everything then. In the services, I--I don't talk, I just come in, and they start the prayer line, then I pray for the sick. And so, you pray with me.
