<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And we're waiting with great anticipations of getting overseas and back to the people... Can you hear me all right up in the balconies? Is it coming in? All right. And I was thinking, the remark that I made the last time I was here. I said, "This is a--a ring where the people wrestle and--and fight." I remember; I used to have that kind of sport myself. I was... used to box. I won the bantam weight championship of the three states, and wasn't defeated. I just give it up to preach the Gospel. So... But I tell you, I got a greater fight now, than I ever had in my life. I ain't fighting my buddy; I'm fighting the devil just as hard as I can.

L-6 And I always remember the different techniques, and way to watch, and the different things from the guard, and so forth in boxing. And you have to be... certainly be on your toes when you're fighting this great enemy that we have now.

L-8 I want to read out of II Kings for a portion of Scripture this afternoon, just to--to pass a few comments, for the next, about fifteen minutes, before we call the prayer line. They said it's... Tomorrow they was going to try to put girders under here, they'd... just small two-by-six's or something, that... Couldn't get much weight on here, but we will find a way to pray for the sick.
Frankly, you don't have to come up here. You just have to have faith where you're setting. God takes care of the rest, doesn't He? And you pray for me tonight. I--I'm the one who really needs prayer, not for sickness, I'm very thankful for that. But I need prayer while I'm trying to minister to the others. If you just realize what a opposition there is when you... Spiritual power, that encloses around a person when you're speaking of Christ, and especially in the way of--of bringing the Word or making the Word manifest to the people. That's the--the thing, when the Word, just preaching the Word...
