<TITLE>10. Par 43-45</TITLE>L-43 Listen close now. Now, He said... I've looked at the morning star, and I thought, "Oh, morning star." I looked down one day standing up there, Brother Wood's and I. He'd just got the fire started, and we was going to get breakfast. And I turned and looked at the morning star, walked out there in them cedar bushes, and the winds whispering through the pines, I stood there, felt good breathing that good fresh morning air, it kind of frosty, plenty frosty... Go down to the creek, get a bucket of water, it'd freeze before you get up.
Standing up there, raising up my hands out there in those pines, I looked at the morning star, I thought, "Oh, looky here. What forty five years has done for me." I said, "Oh, looky here, getting wrinkled, my hands getting wrinkled, hair slipping out, teeth going. Oh, what forty five years has done for me." But I said, "Looky yonder, that morning star is just as pretty and bright as it was the day that God blowed it off His hands and said, 'Let it shine.'"

L-44 Then I thought of this Scripture. I said, "But God promised if we'd be wise and turn many to righteousness, we would outshine the stars forever." I thought, "Morning star, you're shining now, but wait till we get there." Hallelujah...?... Outshine the stars forever. And I could hear that wind coming down the hill just about the break of day, whistling through those pines, saying,
There's a land beyond the river,
That we call the sweet forever,
And we only reach that shore by faith decree;
One by one we gain the portal,
There to dwell with the immortal,
When they ring those golden bells for you and me.
What a great thing. "They that be wise shall turn many to righteousness and they shall outshine the stars forever and forever." So what difference does it make anyhow? What is this little old span here for? This little old dust of the earth, spineless worm, little old mortal body that's got to corrupt and go back to the dust and skin worms will eat it up? Oh, my. Let me rise with all that's in me and shine for the glory of God. Lay aside every weight that the Holy Spirit can transmit His powers and glory through the preaching of the Gospel and the healing of the sick to vindicate Jesus Christ raised from the dead. Oh, my, forever and forever...

L-45 But thou,... Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: for many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.
 Then I Daniel, beheld and looked, and behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and one on the other side of the bank of the river.
 And the one said to the man clothed in linen... (Holy Spirit)... which was upon the waters... (Peoples and multitudes, Holy Ghost upon the people. Oh, hallelujah.)
The Holy Ghost, Revelations 15:16 says that the thickness and multitudes, the "water" means thickness and multitudes and people. And here's One in white linen, waving Himself up and down upon the waters with His hand up to heaven, sworing by Him that lives forever and ever, when these things happen, time shall be no more. Hallelujah. Time shall be no more. Swore, that when we see these nations breaking and things taking place like that, the mystery of God's already accomplished.
