<TITLE>07. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 The church has growed. It's growed from justification through sanctification, into the baptism of the Holy Ghost, now into the restoration of the gifts, coming to the bud. And here we are, ready for harvest now. God shall come someday, and we'll see Him and love Him.
And at that day, when all of life is over and I done preached my last sermon, prayed for my last sick person, the Bible lays closed, and I know my time has come... And I know that setting before me, like every mortal here tonight, is a great big black door setting yonder. And every time that heart beats, you're going one step closer to it. It's called death. One time your heart beats, that's one time less it'll ever beat again. And we're going that way. I don't know when it's going to stop, but when I enter there, I don't want to go like a coward; I want to wrap myself in His righteousness, entering into that channel of death, knowing this, that I'm persuaded that I know Him in the power of His resurrection; for He has resurrected me from a life of sin and made me His servant. And I know Him that way. And I know when He calls, I'll come out from among the dead. Now, as--I want that to my testimony. God bless you.

L-27 I don't live too far up the river here; I'm your neighbor. Come up and knock on the door. I've often said, "The night never gets too dark, or rain never falls too hard, why, I'd come to you. I wished I could. But friends, there's just thousands of calls everywhere. You just realize what one day will be. My wife, setting right here, many times, we've noticed. And at times I've kept count of the phone calls, just long distance along, and we've had it to average as many as sixty--four an hour day and night, of long distance. It just isn't at Owensboro, here; it's around the world (See?), millions and millions of people. See? And you can imagine what it is.
But I'll say this one thing, friends, if I can ever be of any help and get to you, or anything, I'll be--I'll be glad to come. Pray for me and I'll pray for you. God bless you now, while we bow our heads.

L-28 Now, Father, here lays handkerchiefs before me. Bless them, Father, to the sick and needy. Way across the country, people are waiting for these handkerchiefs, maybe many setting here. And Thou can heal them all, and I pray that You will. And now, Lord, I pray that Your Spirit will just settle over this company of people tonight in a great awe. And may Your Angel, which I know is standing here at the platform at this time, may He come forward, take over the poor little old unworthy hull that I live in here. Use these poor unworthy eyes to look through and these lips to speak through.
And God, use those hearts out there to--for a conception. And may the--the reception of God's Spirit move right into there and confirm God's Word with signs following. Grant it, Lord.
Heal all the sick and afflicted. Save the lost and dying. Grant it, Lord. Forgive us all of our sins, and may there not be one person that's in this building tonight be lost. May they, every one, be present at that day to receive crowns of...?... glory from our loving Saviour. For we ask it in His Name. Amen.

L-29 These handkerchiefs are marvelous things. Not for your mailing address, no, friends, we don't... We just answer letters. We don't want it for mailing address or to do anything away from your church. We want you... Our purpose is for you to be loyal to your church of your choice. That's what I want you to be. But if you do need a handkerchief, just write me. I'll send it to you absolutely free. We send thousands and thousands of them.
Here recently, a woman in Germany received one, put it on her bosom. She was setting with arthritis in a wheelchair, she said, "Now, devil, you get out of this building," got right up and walked away. See, that's it.
