<TITLE>04. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 And now, Father, I wait humbly upon You. I pray tonight for every one of these people, from the minister down to the janitor of the building. Every one of them, Lord, I ask You to bless them, and give them the best that I know how to ask for. And may they live long lives, healthy and happy, and free from sin and sickness.
In the great land, someday, when there's to be a large table set, all the redeemed of all ages shall gather in at that table. We'll look across at one another, tears of joy running down our cheeks. I will look across and see the old veterans who've fought to win the prize, and sailed through bloody seas; slip across the table with our hands and shake hands. How we can praise the Lord. Then the King in His beauty will come out and wipe the tears from our eyes, say, "Don't cry no more. It's all over; we're here. Enter into the joys of the Lord."
God grant that every person in Presence tonight may be there at the great wedding supper with white clothes, and ready to crown the King of king and Lord of lords.
Until that time, Lord, may we all be about the Master's work. We commit the service tonight, and everything that's done or said to be in the Name of Jesus Christ, that You'll get glory out of it. Amen.

L-11 To the minister brothers, preach the Word; be up and going. If there ever was a time that you need to preach, is now. Get moving, swiftly. Don't let nothing stop you. Get out. Get going around the neighborhood. Get going somewhere.
Here not long ago I was telling... The Russians, they came back up in there after the war, maybe they dry their own wheat. And it was... It was getting late in the fall. It was about ready for the snow. And all day and all night, they pulling harrows. They couldn't wait till the wheat got--the field got disced up. They had to just do the best they could. And at night time, you hear these little children running in front of the parents with a lantern. And the parents, the women and men, pulling the harrows like this, scratching the ground. They couldn't wait to plow it; too close to the snow.
Can you hear me all right? Way back in the back, raise your hand if you can. All right, that's fine.

L-12 They couldn't wait till... If--if it snowed, then next year they would starve to death. There'd be no crop. They had to get the little seed in the ground somehow. They had to scratch the ground and throw the seed in. And to do it, they'd drug day and night, taking the sandwich in their hand and eat it, and keep pulling the harrow. They never could pull it fast enough. They had to get the human, the man himself pulling the harrow.
I thought, "Scratching the ground. If they don't get the seed in, there's not going to be any crop."
And minister brothers, if there ever was a time that God's field needs scratching... If there's going to be a harvest, let's get the seed in right now. She's sowing down. You'll see what I'm talking about. It's getting near. Get going, Christians, everywhere. Don't notice your denominational barriers. Get out there and do something for God. Let's get the seed in the ground so there'll be a crop for tomorrow. God bless you.

L-13 Now, on the Scripture reading tonight, was just before the--just at the appearing of Jesus as an infant. There was an old man by the name of Simeon, an old sage. Probably... I can picture him looking something like Dr. Dowie, a long, white, flowing beard. He had an outstanding name as a teacher in Israel, a wonderful old church father.
And you know, the Holy Ghost spoke to him one day, and said that he wasn't going to die until he seen the Lord's Christ. And he believed it.
Now, they'd been looking for Christ to come for years and years. Here they was in captivity. And my, how could the Christ come then?
But the Holy Ghost promised him. So he wasn't a scared to go around and say, "Now--now, I--I'm not going die till I see the Christ."
