<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>54-0303, Witnesses, Assembly Of God, Phoenix, AZ, 84 min
L-1 Good evening, friends. I'm very happy to be here this evening to minister again in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and for His glory. And I'm so happy of this privilege to be out, trusting that it'll be a great time, for His glory. We all like to see Him magnified. That's in the heart of every believer, to see Jesus Christ exalted above everything on earth. And I'm sure that's what our alternative, the only alternative I have in life is to see that.

L-2 And now, as our... Tonight I think that this is our last night here in this building. Is that right, brother? And tomorrow night we're to be in the (Madison Square Gardens?) the Madison Square Gardens, in the city. And you have a... It'll be a little more seating capacity, I believe.
And we trust that it'll just continue the meeting, and God will get praise, many souls coming to Christ. This is the--one of the most essential things of any man's life, no matter how much a success he is in business, or whatever he might be, the greatest thing that ever happened to a human being is when he had the privilege of giving his heart to Jesus Christ, becoming borned again and live.
It was in the Old Testament, they had the brass serpent; they looked and lived. And that's what we do tonight, is look and live, look to Jesus and live.

L-3 Now, to keep from taking much time I'm doing something in this meeting and the last two meetings before this, that I have never did since the beginning of my ministry: that's try to speak a little, at night, before the healing service. It does take some of the value off of it, I know, because it's hard coming back from one anointing to another. One of them is under Divine direction of an Angelic Being, by a gift. And the other one is the inspiration of the Holy Spirit in speaking the Words of the written Word of God.
So I just have a little sermonette each night. For I know that my words can fail; I'm a man. But God's Words can't fail, Him being God. And I like to read some of It each night, or at least a portion, which I know that the people in the audience will receive some eternal truth, as long as God's Word is read. The meeting then is bound to have a blessing on it, if no more than reading of the Word.

L-4 And I trust tonight, that maybe just--maybe myself... But it seems to me that--that God will come in our meetings and our, not meet--midst, and manifest Hisself in great power. Last evening, I hardly could get out of the--remember leaving the building, such an anointing. I--I want to--to thank God for your wonderful faith.

L-5 I always know in cities of this type, like Florida, California, Phoenix, there's always a confusion or a--or a something or another. There's so many different people comes in to those kind of places, those summer resorts or winter resorts, rather, with different ideas. And they... No matter what kind of idea they got, they got somebody that'll believe with them. And it breaks up different groups of people and denominations. And in there, usually it starts a prejudice, a feeling of indifference. And that exists in all big cities.
And I know that Phoenix is not immune from those things. But to see this group of people together like this with one heart and one accord, I trust that it'll always be that way, that you'll always... If you'll remember these words that I--I leave you, as my beloved brothers and sisters and co-workers in Christ: You will have to love one another before you can love God. That's right, see?

L-6 I was going to leave Sunday afternoon. I left my last meeting to go up to, maybe stop by the Reservation, and I'm wondering if the missionary from the Reservation, couldn't get the people (the Indian friends up there) together. We could have them here for a night in the meeting, giving them a night.
