<TITLE>07. Par 26-30</TITLE>L-26 But then it'll be no end to the prayer line for it'll go hours after hours. And watch what our Lord is fixing to do. Now, the thing that happens in there when He told it... Now, remember, the Bible is laying open. I did it first, my hand over my heart. A human being in this world will never know it. I made a show out of the other, but God being my Helper...
The reason I waited till this night... It's the first time I've told it in public. I waited till this night to tell it. God being my helper, they'll never be a human being know this till death sets me free to go home to be with God. I'll never make a show or a--a public thing of this. It's too sacred for to be given out the way I did the other time.

L-27 And I ask the people, and trying to explain something that I didn't know nothing about myself, you forgive me. You're not supposed to explain God. You just believe God. There's no way to explain Him at all.
So the Lord bless you now while we go right straight to the service for about... I'm going to try to start the prayer line in the next fifteen minutes, God willing.
But my words are the words of a man. And you can imagine with something in my heart that's just a burning and a yearning, you can wonder why that I--I'm--try to hold back prayer lines. And I wasn't even intending to have one prayer line here in Minneapolis, not a one, or nowhere. Over yonder I'm not having any prayer lines. See? Because here's what it is. I come to visit. I come to have fellowship with you. I--I like to go out and see you, got lots of friends.

L-28 But when I get in under this anointing of the Spirit, I stay there and pray till I get to the platform. And in service, when we leave... If you had to put up with me like the manager and Billy Paul and them does, you don't even know where you're at sometimes. You become beside yourself. You don't know you... Why? It's visions, and everybody you start to talk to, there's a vision again. And you just have to wait till you get out of it.
Now, most all seers and poets are considered neurotics. How many knows that to be true? Look at--look at Elijah after he called fire down out of heaven and his vision come true. Forty days and nights he wandered out in the wilderness. How many knows that? Sure, the Bible said he did. And God found him laying back in a cave. Was that right?
Look at Jonah, the prophet, after he give his prophecy, fulfilled his vision. He went up on the hill and prayed for God to take his life.

L-29 Look at William Cowper, the great song writer that wrote "There is a Fountain Filled with Blood Drawn from Emmanuel's Veins." Why, when he--when he got through writing the inspiration out of that song, he tried to find the river to commit suicide.
Look at Stephen Foster, gave the world its best folk songs, "Old Folks At Home," "Swanee River," "Old Black Joe," and them. Well, when he--when he wrote "My Old Kentucky Home" and many of those songs, when he come out from under the influence of that inspiration, he would get on a drunk. And then when he... One time he come out, called a servant and took a razor and committed suicide. See?

L-30 You don't understand. There's no need in trying to explain it. You just believe it. I ain't trying to explain it no more. You... People's going to believe or... Well, that's all I'm going to do about it. That's up to God to do the rest of it. I can't take His job.
So have faith and believe. And if you're ordained to Eternal Life, Jesus said, "No man can come to Me anyhow except My Father draws him." That's right. And if you're ordained to Eternal Life, to see and believe, you will. If you won't, it's just like pouring water on a duck's back. It'll do no good at all. No matter how much you try to explain it, those who God has chosen before the foundation of the world... And if you are chose in God, you were chosen not here, you were chosen before the world began. Do you know that?
