<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>56-0311E, God Using His Gift, Life Tabernacle, Shreveport, LA, no tape
L-1 Thanks, brother, that's mighty fine. Good evening, friends. It's wonderful, be back in Life Tabernacle again tonight. Brother was talking about me being late. I just had so much time to push myself or just relax myself before the Lord. And I--I heard the knocking on the door, but I just didn't answer. That was all it was, 'cause I--I had something important I had to talk to Him about, so I just kept talking.

L-2 Now, as I always late, that's the truth. I was late for my wedding. If I can just be late for my funeral, is the--is the main thing. What you think about that, Brother Alment? That's just about right, isn't it?
Brother Alment, I just noticed him back there: very fine Christian brother, just recently come to Christ, was ex-serviceman. Teaches voice in some school... Dying with heart trouble recently, in a terrible condition... How the Lord Jesus touched Him when he was laying just at the point of death, where the best doctors had just about turned him over to be gone for good. Will just raise up your hand, Brother Alment? He's from Ohio, I believe, or Mich...Where is it, Brother Alment? Michigan. We thank the Lord for the healing of our dear brother.
I remember I took him when he was first saved, and I was going to baptize him at the river... Just soon as he stuck his foot in the water, oh, my, he just got blue all over. He looked like he'd died right there. And how the Lord Jesus came down and made him whole. He's wonderful.

L-3 Now, we certainly... One thing that I'm praying earnestly about now is going to old Mexico. I'm looking forward for a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit over there among the Spanish people. And I want you to pray. The Spanish people was the first people I ever had services for outside of the Anglo-Saxon, the white race of people, or the--the English speaking people. And then the next was the American Indian. And then I think we went from there into Africa and so forth, and many different nations since then.
Just a little hoarse; this is the fourth time today of... So I... You're such a nice audience that I--I just run out of voice. I don't run out of desire. So you've been awfully nice, and I appreciate this lovely time of fellowship with each and every one of you, in different churches and so forth. And I pray that God will be with you and bless you till we meet.

L-4 Many times... Last evening, I thought about having such a struggle when the presence of death and life come together. And it's a hard thing, sometimes to minister in the right way when you're--when you're under that burden. But now, many of you has read the visions. It's printed this time in the "Herald of Faith." Many of you take that little magazine. I'm not a salesman; I don't sell nothing. But I have one policy, and it's not for sale; it's to give away. That's the policy of Eternal Life. It's free tonight. You don't have to pay for it; it's already paid for. You just have to receive it.

L-5 I don't know whether I've told you or not. Wilmer Snyder, a friend of mine, we went to school together; he's an insurance agent. And that's a good thing: Life insurance. Well, my dad taken out a policy on brother and I when we were about... We--one year difference in us, so we was about eight and nine years old. When we got twenty, it was a ten year endowment, ever what it was... And supposed to pay off around five hundred dollars. When it come due, the agent never read it right to my father, and it was worth about a dollar-seventy-five cents. And oh, my, if that didn't make me bitter, know my poor dad had to work the way he did, under a deceit. There ain't no one can read one clear: a Philadelphian lawyer couldn't do it. So then, I just kinda soured down on insurance.
