<TITLE>03. Par 11-15</TITLE>L-11 I think of that--that early church, of the power that they had. Fourteen days and nights with no--no consolation nowhere, and all hopes that they'd ever be saved was gone, even to Paul, perhaps down in the gallery praying, and come running forth on the deck, and said, "Sirs, be of a good cheer, for there stood by me tonight, the Angel of God, and said, 'Don't fear Paul. You're to be brought before Caesar,' he said, 'and there'll be no loss of any man's life.'" He saw a vision of the ship being wrecked on the shore, and he said, "Wherefore, sirs, be of a good cheer: for I believe God; it'll be just as it was shown unto me."

L-12 And now, Christian friends, for this word think: the same God, the same Angel, the same Holy Spirit is right in this building tonight, and does the same thing night after night (See?), the evidence of the resurrected Lord Jesus, taking the ministry to all parts of the world.
Just a short testimony, and that is concerning my dear Brother Bosworth, who's just fixing to go to Japan. I admire his courage. When I look at him, there's something in my heart quivers. I love him like he was my own daddy.
I was talking to Brother Julius Stadsklev, the chaplain setting by us. We were all overseas together. (Brother Julius Stadsklev is the author of that book, "A Prophet Visits Africa.") And how that our love was even extended to Brother Bosworth, more and more as we are associate with him more.

L-13 And I remember some time ago, he and Brother Julius sailed away to Africa for some services. His heart went to the colored people of Africa when he seen their conditions and so forth. He--he heart longed to go to them. So he returned. And he was over on the West Coast. And he was making kind of a preparation for my coming over there. I had no idea that he'd went to the--over to the east coast of Durban, for there was my center hold, where the--Brother Bosworth...
Brother Stadsklev was standing present that day when thirty thousand souls were won to Jesus Christ at one time. That's ten times bigger than the day of Pentecost. And think of it. Jesus said, "The things that I do shall you also; even greater..." That's the exceedingly abundantly above all that we could do or think.

L-14 I remember the expression on Brother Bosworth's face (that day when after the altar call and so many had accepted Christ), taken his glasses from his face and wiping the tears from his eyes. I remember the--the effects it had on us all. You don't know what a feeling it was for thirty thousand souls to come to Jesus Christ at one time; it was breath-taking. Never nothing like it in the world's history at any time or any place: thirty thousand souls.
I say this with love, and with respects, and with faith, I believe the trip to India will double that, just now coming out. I'm going a by vision.

L-15 And after Brother Bosworth returning, one night in my home I was... Our love is so close together. And in my home, I was--been ministering to the people, and I told my wife, "Just tell the rest of them..." It was on a Saturday night. I said, "Tell them to just go to the church for Sunday morning. And honey," I said, "I'm so tired." (She's setting there in the balcony somewhere now, listening.) I said, "I'm so tired, I can hardly stand up." I said, "Would you just tell them to come Sunday morning." I said, "I'm getting plumb nervous. It's just so many coming and going." And so after we finished up, it was about eight o'clock, and that was all. So we got in the car and took the two little children and went riding.
