<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 Now, we want to talk a little bit tonight on the Scripture over in Numbers the 19th chapter. I wish to read just a little of the Word before we call the prayer line. And each night, this is something different trying to have a little miniature sermon, as it was, or talking, before the service. Usually, the floor man, manager, or some of them, have the services, and I just come in and pray for the sick.
But each night I'm watching and wondering just what the Holy Spirit will lead me to do before I do anything. Just--just come praying, and just stand up here and read and talk a little while, or whatever He says do.
Numbers 19.
And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying,
This is an ordinance of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer with--without a spot, wherein... no blemish, and upon which never came a yoke:
And you shall bring her unto Eleazar the priest, that he may bring her forth without the camp, and one shall slay her before his face:
And Eleazar the priest shall take of her blood with his finger, and shall strike--sprinkle it (rather)... the blood directly before the tabernacle of the congregation seven times:
Now, in the 9th verse to save time from reading.
And a man that is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp in a clean place, and it shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for a water of separation: it is a purification from sin.
May the Lord add His blessings to the Word.

L-9 Now, we're speaking tonight upon Christ. That's all I know. Here sometime ago (or all I want to know, rather)... I was with my boy, and I--we was at Wood River, Illinois. And I'd just come out of the service, been there a few nights; had a marvelous audience, several thousands of people gathered. And the Lord was working, saving the people. And He was making the sick well, and just how the Lord does in His mercy.
And after service (I hadn't eaten since that morning), so Billy said, "Daddy, let's go get something to eat." Said, "I'm about to starve too." So we went into a little restaurant, and they had a ball game or something going on in the city. We was over in Granite City where we were staying. And so they... All the little teen-agers was in there, little bitty snicklefritzes, you know, about so high, dancing around and running around, not dancing. They'd had one of these here squeak boxes over in the corner, you know, with all that there going on.

L-10 I just hate to eat in a place where that kind of stuff's going on. I don't... My food don't do me any good. So somebody put in some kind of a--a piece on there, and they were playing it, and I was eating away.
'Course Billy, just an adolescent, you know, he said, "Daddy, ain't that a pretty song?"
And I said, "What song?" I--I didn't know. I just--I just isolated myself from it. I didn't want to hear it.
And he said, "You know, daddy," he said, "you just study the Bible so much, and pray so much till the only thing that you can think about is Jesus Christ."
I said, "Thank you, honey, I sure appreciate that."
Said, "That's just all you have on your mind."
I said, "That's all I want on my mind though, the Lord Jesus."

L-11 Someone said, "You brag too much on Him." No, I can't. No. He's worthy of more bragging and exalting than any human being could ever give Him. Mortal lips could never express Him, of the gratitude or the thankfulness that we have for Him.
