<TITLE>02. Par 5-9</TITLE>L-5 If you happen to get there 'fore I do, you tell Him about me and tell Him I--I love Him. Will you? And tell Him that I just love Him with all my heart. And ask Him... Tell Him that you--that I'm trying my best. And--and when I come up, if you hear me knocking, why, you tell Him--ask Him to let me in, will you? 'Cause I--I'm doing all I can for you. And I believe that by God's grace we'll all meet there. And I--I pray to Him now, while I don't know many of you here, just what I've got acquainted with, a very few. But I--I pray that He'll--the door will be wide open for every one of you. And if my prayers to God will help you any, I--I just ask Him to open the door wide for every one of you.

L-6 And I--as I go to different parts of the world, if God shall permit me to, and when I'm out there on the... Well, sometimes it gets awful dark. I've seen times where I wouldn't know where to turn next: witch doctors, demons, everything on every hand. It's not a easy thing. And there you're standing there representing Jesus Christ, the most holy Thing of all the world; and you're standing there and every demon trying his best to press in.
And when you're dealing in another world, you must remember, reproach on His Name would do more than all the good would ever be done. Just... Satan just watching for one opportunity. You pray for me, will you? And when the nights are stormy and dark in Africa, the winds are howling, the witch doctors are challenging, the fire eaters and things of India will be challenging and every demon worker, there'll be, will be right out there, I'll be thinking about Owensboro; there's a bunch of people praying for me. I know you will be. And I know if you'll ask Him, He'll help me. I'm going to depend on you.

L-7 And you pray for me wherever I go that God will help me. I've done all that I knowed how to represent our Lord Jesus to you in--in the way of simplicity. I... He's never trusted me with too much because I don't know--wouldn't know how to take care of much, I guess. He just gives me what He will. But what I have, I freely give to glorify Him and His church. I'm just here I--to try to represent Him to you by a Divine gift.
Just like if He give me a hand, I want to use that hand the best that I can. If He give me eyes, I don't want to look at the evil things; I want to look at His Bible; I want to look at things that 's right. If they happen to run into evil things, I want to turn my head till I look off somewhere else (See?), 'cause He give me my eyes.

L-8 Remember, I was once a blind man, practically, they led me around, so I was practically blind. And now my eyes are--are ten-ten. That's two degrees better than normal: 20/20. I can read newspaper print five feet away from me. So I'm thankful for that.
I was showing my wife, last night here, in my forties. I can take this fine Bible and hold It that close to me and read It, or hand It off anywhere, five feet away from me and read It. And think, once with great big thick bifocal glasses, and led around by the arms. Oh, it's amazing grace. How good He is. I love Him. Though He condemns me at the end, I still love Him.

L-9 Now, this may be our last meeting time, Christians. I don't know what tomorrow holds, but it may be our last meeting time. If it is, I say as I'll say when I meet you again in glory. I trust that we'll all be there. I'll say this with a honest sincere heart: I've tried to represent Jesus Christ to you with all that I knowed how. And I love Him.
Our next meeting begins just across the river here at Evansville. And I forget the name of that Tabernacle. It's the Baptist Tabernacle, though the Full Gospel people are sponsoring it. It's a place that seats about four thousand, I think, something like that. You're... If you have any time off from your own church, come over and be with us. We'd be happy to have you.
