<TITLE>08. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 I could've been a ten times a--a rich man today if I wanted to. It's not what I... I never ask for a penny in my... I never took an offering in my life. And have refused to... One time a million five hundred thousand dollars, at one time, when the FBI agents brought it to me... Papers wrote it up, I said, "I don't want money." It isn't money.
I wear hand-me-down... This suit was give to me in Norway six years ago. I been wearing it ever since then, not as I have to. I could stay in better hotels and so forth, but Christians, a Christian is a life you live. You're supposed to live like... I want to be just like the people that come to me, seeking Christ. God keep me that way is my prayer. Shall we pray.

L-27 Our heavenly Father, testimony, songs and all glory be to Thee. It's all of Thee. We thank Thee today, because that Thou has give us this wonderful promise, that some glorious day we shall see Him as He is. Then we shall see each other, and set down with the prophets in the Kingdom of God, and the great men: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, Ezekiel, many of the others.
And I pray Thee, heavenly Father, today that You'll let that be our great intent in our hearts. Our heart's desire is to meet that hour.
Now, as we're just fixing to open up the Bible, we realize that any man or woman, boy or girl that has physical use of their hands could turn open the Bible. That's just opening the Book. But no man can really open It but You, Lord.

L-28 We see where John said in the vision, "One set upon a throne with a Book sealed on the backside with seven seals, and no man in heaven, no man in earth, or beneath the earth was worthy to take the Book or to lo--open the Book or loose the seals. But One, a Lamb, bleated, a Lamb slain from the foundation of the world came and took the Book out of the right hand of Him that set upon the throne, and was worthy to take the Book and to loose the seals."
And we pray, God, that same Lamb will open this Book for us today. Speak into our hearts, Lord, that which is appropriate, knowing that we are eternity bound people. We've got our heads bowed to the dust from which we were taken. And someday, if Jesus tarries, we shall return back to the dust. But we're speaking to these souls immortal, that dwells within us that shall never die and will spend an eternity somewhere.
God, if there's any here gone, heading the wrong way may they turn back to Calvary today, and be reconciled to God through Christ. For we ask it in His Name. Amen.
