<TITLE>03. Par 11-14</TITLE>L-11 And we should not be just gadding about from place to place. We should always go and consider the Lord before we go. Do you do that when you leave home? Pray, "Lord, help me to have a safe journey over where I am going and back, ordering my steps today, that I'll not step out of Your blessed path. But if I should make the wrong move, You'll warn me and bring me back into the right way again. If my tongue should start to speak things that was not right, will You just stop my tongue from speaking? Bring me back into the right place again. And if I should start to thinking wrong thoughts, will You just change my way of thinking, let me think the right things."
What you think is usually what you do. You know, if you'll do right, that's your duty to God. If you'll think right, that's your duty to yourself. And you've got to come out right. You can't be going east when you're going west. You can't be going wrong when you're going right, or vice versa. Think right; do right; and you'll be right.

L-12 And Christ... The mind of Christ is to be in the church. And the mind of God was in Christ. And how that the Spirit led Christ, so ought His Spirit lead the church. And all that God was He poured into Christ; and all Christ was He poured into the church. So the church has the power that Christ had. Christ had the power that God had. He said, "At that day you'll know that I am in the Father, the Father in Me; I in you and you in Me." You'll find out that God dwells in His church, in His people. The Lord willing, Sunday I want to speak on that, or tomorrow night of how God dwells with His people.
Now, we find that God does everything--or Christ, rather, every move that He made on earth had a meeting--meaning to it.

L-13 Now, God meets in the circle of men sometimes in great numbers. One time He met with five hundred brethren. Again, He met with--with twelve. Then He met sometimes with three, and sometimes with just one. So it doesn't matter how great our numbers or how small our numbers. Christ has left us this Word that, "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst. What a beautiful promise to the believer. If we tonight could all together lay hold on that promise, and realize that that is God's eternal promise...

L-14 Just before coming to the meeting, I was reading in the Book of Daniel; which I'm intending someday to take that as a complete revival. And I was noticing that how that Daniel read by Books of the prophet Jeremiah, which was before him, how that seventy years they were to be in captivity. Well, in these seventy years he seen was just about up and then he sought the Lord.
And if the day that we're living in, when we see every sign moving, pointing towards the coming of the Lord, it ought to make every minister start fasting and praying and saying, "God what must I do next? For we are near the end time." It's time that we got down and realized we mustn't just lust along and loaf along as if we were the carefree, come-easy, go-easy. We should be a wide awake. And it seems like that such things as today, earthquakes shaking, even plaster dropping from the walls and buildings sending up great smoke or dust screens up like mushrooms, and so forth, it ought to bring us to the realization that the coming of the Lord is at hand. And when we see the church of the living God indifferent, and infatuated with the world, and lost it's love of Christ, and has become so denominational-minded, and barriers and so forth among us, it ought to be milestones to let us realize that we're at the end of the road.
