<TITLE>13. Par 132-138</TITLE>L-132 While walking today and talking with a young man, I said, "When I get to heaven, one of the things I want to do was to walk up and shake hands with a certain fellow that had done a gallant thing." And he talked about the one he wanted to see. He wanted to shake his hand, of different things, of how that God blessed the people.
When Uriah, after that David had taken Bathsheba his wife, and they sent out and got him (And she was to be mother.), and brought her in, so that he could lay it onto Uriah. And he was not a Gentile. He was not a Jew; he was a Gentile. And he was a Hittite, a proselyte to the Jewish religion. And they told him to go down and stay awhile at home with his lovely, beautiful wife. He said, "God forbid that I'd do such a thing as that, and the ark of my God on the battlefield." And he refused to do it. And, brother, when I get to glory, I want to walk up to Uriah and shake his hands, and say, "God be praised, for your testimony meant something to me in my earthly journey."
I want to walk over to Daniel, and say, "You know, Daniel, when you went in there fearless before those lions, that testimony meant something to me." Yes, sir.
I want to see the apostle, Peter, and say, "Peter, that night when you was in prison, and the Lord come in with a big Light and shined over you, oh, I always admired that. And you started following that Light, and the door opened before you, and took you right into the streets. You thought you were dreaming." What a time.
Not going to be no quiet place in heaven, when all that redeemed gets around there, is it? It's going to be a marvelous thing take place up there, when all the redeemed comes marching in.

L-138 And here's this centurion, the house of Cornelius. Look how God so arranged it. Now, Cornelius was a God-fearing man. He prayed always and gives alms to the people. You never do nothing worthwhile but what God puts it to your record. That's right. And he prayed, and he gave alms to the people. And he was a great man.
And one day, while he was in prayer in the house, there came an Angel into the room where he was at. You believe in Angels? The Angel came into the room where he was at and said, "Cornelius, raise up and go down to Joppa and ask for one named Peter, who dwells in the house of one called Simon. And he will tell you what to do." Amen.
Now, Peter, at this time had been traveling, so he got hungry. It was about twelve o'clock. So he goes up on the housetop and took a little nap. He was going to take a nap while he was up there waiting for them to get dinner ready.
And so Cornelius sent down a soldier and two devout men, and brought them down to find Peter. And while, God, if He's sending someone to see you, He's making arrangements ahead of time for this thing to happen.
He made arrangements at the hospital for this baby yesterday, that was laying there in a dying condition, that they didn't know what was the matter. And the Holy Spirit spoke in the room, made arrangements at the hospital for the healing of the child before I even got there. Hallelujah.
In Finland when that little boy was laying there on the road dead, and his father and mother running from the field, screaming, and wringing their hands, God had prearranged his resurrection two years ahead of time. Praise the Lord.
And tonight while we're here in this church and suffer these things that we do, God has prearranged our resurrection. Some glorious day He will come. It's all prearranged. And the men and women who think of it, sometimes poets sing these songs "Oh, there's going to be a meeting in the air."
