<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 Now, we tried tonight, being Monday, just be kindy a off night; we'll try to speak just a little bit from the Word, just a simple little text here of some sort, the Lord willing, and then go right on, have the service, whatever the Lord will lead. Whether He calls the people up to the platform, if we have to call a few, or whether He simply starts into the audience, or whichever way He leads it.
And now, I was just thinking, these pictures... How many have them pictures? Do you have them in your home? Well, that's fine.
I was speaking to a... Someone told me last night or sent word out by somebody today, that... Today's been a haze to me. But there was a--one of the ladies was weeping or something last night here, seen It when It come down on the platform. Well now, if you have never seen It, here's a greater vindication of it being the truth, just to look at the picture of It.
And it's not my picture, brother, sister, His picture, isn't mine. And He's with the church, not just with me; He's with all of the--every Christian, everywhere. He knows It's Christ, same Pillar of Fire led the children of Israel. I believe with all my heart, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. When He was there, He led them.

L-9 Look, how many ever read the Old Testament, let's see your hands? Why, that's fine. Why, anyone knows that the Angel of the Lord that went before the--the children of Israel was the Angel of the Covenant, which was Christ. Do you know that? Do you believe that? Sure it was. All right. He was in a Pillar of Fire. Is that right? Well, that's what He was that day; that's what He was--what they called yesterday. When the Scripture was written called today... when He was today... Now, that's the way He went in the form of a Pillar of Fire. Now, we see that in the meeting, night after night, and we see it on the picture. Scientific world knows it. So that means He really was the same yesterday, and then today, when He was here on earth, we'll see what He was. He went around, and how He saw visions, and told the people, and healed the lame, and crippled, witnessed Himself that He didn't do one thing till the Father showed Him first by vision what to do. Is that right?
Here He is coming back, the very same thing, for it be forever, the same Lord Jesus: What He did in the days of Moses, what He did in the days of His flesh here on earth, and what He does today, He's the same yesterday, today, and will be forever, the same Lord Jesus.

L-10 Now, in the book of 2nd Kings, I'll read for just a--a portion of Scripture here, found in the 14th and the 15th verses of 2nd Kings.
And being tired tonight, I'm just going to talk for just a few moments. This what makes it... I've never before made my own altar call and done any preaching. The managers usually do it, and then I come right in and run a prayer line. But since, Brother Baxter has left, why, Brother Jack Moore and I have agreed that... He wanted me to try to talk a little bit, said... But my, I'm a very poor preacher. And so when... And he says, "Oh, if the people... They don't care whether you say 'his' or 'hain't,' 'fetch,' or 'carry,' or 'tote.' Just say something and they'll believe you." So I--I appreciate that; makes me feel real good to know that. You know, and as a theologian, I--I--I don't know very much about the Book at all, but what I do know, I really know. And one thing, I know the Author of It; that's the best part that--to know Him Who's wrote it. In the 14th verse we read this:
And Elisha said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, if it was not that I respected the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look towards thee, nor see thee.
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, while the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
