<TITLE>03. Par 3-4</TITLE>L-3 Now--now, tonight we're expecting something great from our Lord. The time is running short now. And this morning, definitely, I was definitely led after the closing of this meeting to begin next week in Zion, Illinois, right around the bend. And so, I know the Holy Spirit is leading me that way. One things I promised that I'd give the people years ago, it was a--a certain thing that happened there that someone... I'd have been before, but I told the people when I left Zion; I said, "I will return." And a man of honor will keep his word.
And then, I thought, sometime... And now just while we're in this center, it seems like He's leading me around there. There's a great stadium place, or arena, down there in Chicago, setting waiting, if the Holy Spirit should lead. There's one setting there at Battle Creek, waiting. There's one down at Twin--Twin Cities, waiting. There's an auditorium setting down here that seats ten thousand people, free, five hundred ministers laying at my house, Methodist, Baptist, and all different kinds, with their name on a paper to cooperate. But it's where the Holy Spirit says move.
Now, He might tell me to go out here to a little where there'd be ten people in a church. Just where He says go. That's always best, isn't it? It's always best. Just leave--leave with Him, leave it to Him.
Now, you just keep praying for me. And I'm asking the Lord for something that He will just speak to me and tell me that--that I can do. If you'll just do that for me, I will be so happy. It's nothing for myself. It's not no, nothing for... only give me more strength and--and so that I can stand longer in the meetings. But it's something I want Him to do so I can help His people. It's not in gifts and callings, and things; them things are... That was made up back yonder before the world began. I can't get out of His predestinated will. He's already willed me what to do. But it's just something I would like to do along another line. That I would like for Him to tell me that I could do it, nothing about gifts, but just souls.
All right. Now, I want to read maybe, a few Scriptures. I will read one here anyhow, and quote a few more to you. Now, I told you I would tell you my life's story this afternoon. Next Sunday, maybe, my life's story and the regular form, but this Sunday I want to speak on the spiritual side. How many Christians is in here? Let's see your hands, way up high. That's... I believe it's a hundred percent flat, Christians, or at least ninety-nine and nine tenths that.

L-4 Can you hear me all right? Can you hear me up in the balcony, all right? Over here? Every... Okay. Well, that's fine. I just thought, maybe I... I wasn't speaking loud enough. And looks like with all this around here, I should be... Somebody ought to hear, shouldn't it? With all this mass, it's like being over in Africa again, Brother Jackson, so that, so many microphones. In Africa if you'd--you'd interpret all the--the interpreters, you'd say, "Jesus Christ is the Son of God," and here would be one tribe that's say something another, and then wait, and have to wait till the next man he interprets for his tribe, and the next man for his tribe, and next... Why, you can go get a sandwich time you got back to say something else, almost, time you went through all the interpreters. But God was there. They was listening to every move, and they looked eagerly. You talk about setting in a hot room, they set there in the tropical storms, and the lightnings and the solid flash, everywhere the rain pouring into their face. They just set there, and those black backs just setting there, and listened, in waiting.
