<TITLE>07. Par 1-3</TITLE>E-1r      That's the reason now when I talk about... When I'm home around the church, say, "You a preacher?"
"Yep."
But when I get out around these preachers, like this, say, "You a preacher?"
I say, "No, sir."
No. But I do love the Word of the Lord, and I love to worship Him anywhere when we have fellowship around the Word of the Lord. Now, a few little texts that usually I use out like this. Home I go into the Bible, teaching the Old Testament and New, and so forth, not in...?... Greek and Hebrew, because I don't know it. It's just the way I see it here, and the way the Holy Spirit will reveal to me.

E-1s      This afternoon, if the Lord's willing, I'd like to take a little text here. Maybe I--some of you here might've heard me preach on it. I've preach on four or five different little subjects around over the country, something like there of "Come and See a Man." I usually use that sometime. That's... "The Woman At The Well," and usually try to approach it in a different manner, so that each time it'll be different. A little text like that, because I don't want to get too far off on that side, 'cause when I go back tonight to take back the services, it's a different anointing and it upsets me some times. See?
So or "Believest Thou This? or--or "Four Ways of Seeing God," or "Then He Cried," or little things like that.
So this afternoon I want to read out of Saint John the--the--of the... "Even Now, Lord."

L-1 I want to read out of Saint John the 11th chapter. And the reading of the Word, God will produce the results by the reading of the Word. Don't you believe that? I have spoke on this somewhere before, maybe, in the neighborhood somewhere here, or somewhere across the country. If I have, I'm going to try to approach it in a different way. Let's take those...
And now, Brother Baxter's the one does the preaching. I just come down. It kinda relaxes me a little this afternoon and then for tonight.

L-2 The 11th chapter of Saint John, and let's begin about the 18th or 19th--18th verse, let's say, and read just a little portion there of the Scripture.
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
And many of the Jews came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary set still in the house. 
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou had been here, my brother had not died.
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou will ask ... God, God will give it thee.
Jesus said unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
... whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
She said... Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Now, let's bow our heads just a moment, speak to the Author of this Book.

L-3 Lord Jesus, Master of Life, Giver of all good gifts by Thy grace, we know that we are saved, not because of our merit, but because the grace of God has been shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Spirit. At one time we were aliens, cut off from God, Gentiles, worshiping dumb idols. But in due season Christ died, the Innocent for the guilty, taking us to the Father. And now, we are sons and daughters of God. It does not yet appear what we shall be like, but we know we shall have a body like His, for we shall see Him as He is.
Lord, how we groan in these bodies, to be clothed upon with immortality, to be clothed upon with His Spirit, that someday...
