L-1 Thank you very much. Good evening, friends. Happy to be here again tonight in the service of the Lord Jesus. Trusting that your hearts are all on glow tonight with His blessings. Just a little weak in my voice. This is four months straight now without one bit of rest. And I got two more meetings before I get any rest; that's Charlotte and Anchorage, Alaska.
And I'm... The tremendous impact of the anointing of the Holy Spirit gives such an awful weakening condition to me, really, I wasn't supposed to have one healing service while I was in Carolina, any place. The manager's not here, and that's the reason I'm having it. If he's here he'd pull me out of the meeting right now, to see me do it. When I get this tired and worn, they take me in. But it's because I've never been here before, and I want to come back. You're lovely people; I'm trying to do all I can for the Kingdom of God while I'm here.

L-2 And we're struggling pretty heavy. I just speak so much in open air, from city to city, from nation to nation, till my voice just gets tired. I just... Not only that, but my body does. And I get so weak sometimes. Now, as far as physical strength, I'm pretty strong. But you don't realize what those visions does to a person. They just almost kill you. And they--there's no way, it takes you hours to come out of them. Then one right after the other one, you can imagine what it does to the person.
When it even made Jesus weak, we can realize about what it would be to a human being like ourselves. There's no way to explain it, you just--just have to go on. I couldn't explain it, and no one else could explain it; so you--you just have to take our word for it. But if you're a good Bible student, you'll understand, if you know the Bible really correctly, the way It's written.

L-3 So we'll probably go ahead and have it. Now, in Charlotte, we'll probably only have one healing service. And that'll probably be the Sunday afternoon, just getting too tired, too weak. And some more of the managers going to be with me and them up there, so they probably will--they won't let me have it. But I probably at least have one night sometime, or one Sunday afternoon at Charlotte. And then they'll probably cut it down to one night at Anchorage before we get some rest.
Now, the thing is, when Moses, the servant of the Lord, went down in Egypt, every time he met a Hebrew He didn't have to heal his hand with leprosy and perform a miracle with a stick. He done it one time and that settled it. That was forever true.
Well, see, there's where I do wrong. One time should settle it forever (See?) With every congregation. It can be really proven of God and from the Scripture, and God does it one time, that should settle it.

L-4 Every time Moses... Could you imagine meet--meeting someone, say, "Now, wait a minute; I want to show you the Lord sent me. See, my hand's leprosy now. Now it's clean. See this stick? It's a snake. Now it's a stick." Wait and get to the next Hebrew and say, "Now here, here's my hand; it's leprosy." Oh, no. He did it one time, and that's it. See? They all believed it.
But the Lord never sent me to do all this; I do it upon my own accord. And that's the reason it bothers me so bad. Soon, there's something greater than this coming; it'll soon be here. It'll be marvelous then, if the Lord willing.
How many ever read my last vision that's been wrote up in the magazine? Wait till you see that take place. Then this will be minor. What the Lord's fix... It'll just keep going on and on, on and on. Jesus is coming. The time of the gathering of the people is at hand. And we must look forward to great things to happen.
