<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>55-0815, Earnestly Contending For The Faith That Was Once Delivered Unto The Saints, Unknown, Karlsruhe, Germany, 89 min
L-1 I went to my room. I went to praying for you, that God would let you all live a long life full of victory, and someday I could meet every one of you and shake your hand. I know He will. Then I was real tired. I had been very tired for several days. See, I just go from one meeting to another.
I was with the Methodist people in America with a great meeting. And I just left there one day, come all night over here, started right in here. So there's about six hours difference in time. So I'm all turned around. My nights are days; my days are nights.

L-2 I--I took off my wet clothes awhile ago. And I thought I'd lie down just a moment. And I thought I'd wake up just in a little bit...?... went to sleep. And when Brother Guggenbuhl and those come after me, they woke me up. So I had to hurry to get here. So I am trusting to God that He will anoint me for the service tonight. And you pray for me too, that God will help me. Thank you.
Now, I want to read some Scripture...?... In the Book of Jude and the 3rd verse, it reads like this.
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and to exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints.

L-3 Now, I want to quote that real close, "That you should earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints." Now, that book is written in mystery. No one understand it by mental understanding. You'll never understand it by education. You only can understand it as God will reveal it.
God said in His Word, "I've hid it from the eyes of the wise and prudent. And I will reveal it unto babes, such as will learn." So no matter how we try to think it is. It's all written in mysteries by the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit reveals it as you open your heart. So let us bow our heads and talk to Him, and let Him reveal it, while we speak to the Author of this Book. Shall we pray.

L-4 Our heavenly Father, here we are tonight way over in this lovely land of Germany among these humble, lovely people. They love You. They proved it this afternoon, when they stood to their feet and wanted You to come into their hearts. Now, Father, that they may know that You are real and You're the only true living God, and Jesus Christ is Your Son, will You reveal to us tonight, by Your great Spirit, the revelation of Your Bible. For we ask it Jesus' Name. Amen.
Now, the subject: "Earnestly Contending For The Faith That Was Once Delivered Unto The Saints."

L-5 Now, I just want to speak a few moments, for there's many to be prayed for. And I want each one of you to have faith in God, for God has already provided a healing for you. Each one of you that is sick tonight is already healed in the eyes of God. For Jesus, when He died at the cross, He provided a Blood from His back for your healing. Then in the sight of God you are already healed. Every sinner, you are already saved; for God, at Calvary, by Jesus Christ, wounded Him for your transgressions hundreds of years ago. Now, the only thing that you have to do to become a Christian is to accept--to accept what God--what God has already provided for you, for salvation and also for healing.

L-6 Now, first place, the Word of God is the only plan and the only truth about God. The Word is God. You understand? The... "In the beginning..." I'm quoting Scripture. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." So the Word is God."
Now, then if God has said something, it's up to God to take care of His own Word. Now, if I didn't believe that, I certainly wouldn't want to be telling you all. I would rather go to heaven and stand in the Presence of God, to be judged an infidel, than to go to heaven and be judged a hypocrite. I would rather take my chance, as against Him, than to be a pretender.
