<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 God might not give us that many converts, but He will be with us here at Binghamton. Don't you think so? Right here, He loves us just as well as He loves those people over there and in denominations. 'Course, we--we don't--we don't represent any denomination, perfectly interdenominational. I was...
My people before me were Irish, which were Catholic. I was converted, and joined an--a Baptist church which I was licensed and ordained under the Missionary Baptist church, in a Southern Baptist convention. And then we... After that, well, I... The Lord appeared to me to pray for His children, and it was a little misunderstood with the Baptist church. And so... I'd thought, surely, if God wanted me to pray for His children, He'd--He'd have somebody who believed it. So I got over with the Pentecostal people, and it was just like putting a glove on your hand. It would just fit right in, because they believed in such, so I was just right at home.

L-9 And I was always kinda misunderstood as a boy. I... You--you've read my life story, perhaps, how He appeared to me and said, "Don't never drink or smoke and so forth..." Now, some of you here might smoke, and still say you're Chris... that's up to you, see I'm not saying those things. He told me not to. So I'm not to smoke or anything and defile myself in the way of immoral living, that there's a work for me to do when I got older.
And among my brothers, I, my associates I was kind of a misfit. And then when I joined the Baptist church, they thought I had a little too much religion, I guess. So I was kind of a misfit. So I... You know what they say, "Birds of a feather..." So when I got over here I--I was just right at home then. So I've been feeling good about it ever since. And I love to have this time of fellowship.

L-10 Now, I think that the Bible is the Word of God. And I--I believe that all, everything must be based on the Bible, any subjects, whatever it may be. It's... And people many times different with me, my, but that doesn't bother me. I--I--I love them just the same. You see? And they're still my brothers and sisters, and I don't fall out with anyone.
And I just had a entertainment in India, where seventeen different religions anti-christian met with me in the Sikh--in the Jains temple. And they're seventeen different religions antichrist. Oh, I never fussed with them. I just let them express theirs, and then the Lord vindicated what I was talking about that night. So thousands times thousands and thousands of them came to Jesus Christ that one--one meeting. You see? So it's the thing...

L-11 A man can make a statement; he can be wrong, because he's just a man. We're all subject to mistakes. But when God makes a statement that's truth. See? That's--that's truth.
And now, until we get acquainted, and see what the Lord wants us to do, I feel if we just read some of His Word and talk about That tonight... We don't want to keep you too long in the meetings at night. The Lord may give us a great service of evangelism. He may give us a healing service. We don't know. What ever He does we'll say, "Amen, dear Lord, that's right."
Now, there's many, any of us that is able to hold a Bible could open It like this, but there's nobody really can open It but the Lord. See? For you remember in the vision in Revelations, He saw One setting on the throne? And He had the Book in His hand, and no man in heaven, or in earth, or beneath the earth was worthy to take the Book, or to even look on It, or open the seals of It. And a Lamb that had been slain from the foundation of the world, came and taken the Book out of the right-hand of Him that sets up on a Throne and open it and loosed the Seal, for He was worthy, and that's the Lamb of God, the Author of this Book. So before we try to open It, shall we speak to the Author of this Book while we bow our heads.
