<TITLE>08. Par 79-85</TITLE>L-79 Remember if this earthly tabernacle be dissolved, we have one already waiting. Don't be scared of hydrogen bombs or no other thing. As long as you got Christ in your heart, that's the best bomb shelter I know of. It's made out of feathers: under His wings we'll abide. So don't worry about those things, if you're a Christian.
But if you're not a Christian, you're certainly standing in an awful place. You don't know what minute your heart's going to stop beating. The Bible said men would die in the last days with heart trouble: "Men's heart failing, fear, perplex of times, distress between the nations." Look what more, ten times as many man die as women; the Bible never said women's heart would be failing, It said, "Men's heart would be failing." It's absolutely, perfectly.

L-81 The other day in Oakland, wife and I was over there in--by San Francisco; that great earthquake shook. And the earth begin to belch and hiccup there, until the buildings rocked, and the chimneys fell off. Great balls of air went up like that with smoke in it, or soot, whatever it was, out of those places. And the people run in to the streets, screaming. I thought, "What will it be when the Lord really appears?" The liquor joints went on, putting up their liquor, back on the shelves, and selling it. The people come in to buy it. The man couldn't sell it if nobody bought it. That's right.

L-82 It's... We are the guilty ones. Let me tell you, brother. I'm an American, and I love my country. But this old nation is weighed in the balance and found wanting. She's sinking, as certain as I'm a minister behind this platform tonight. Now, I'm saying that to find favor with God. I'm saying it because God puts it on my heart to say it. And the best thing for you to do is make ready for the coming of the Lord.

L-83 Now, believe Him; have faith in Him. Now, all the words I could say, I say again, wouldn't mean one thing to what Jesus would say. But do you realize where I'm standing? With this group of people tonight, I have either misinterrupted--misinterpreted something or told the Truth. Now, if Jesus Christ is arisen from the dead, and promised the same things He did we'd do also... And I have claimed, from a little baby boy...
I wasn't eighteen months old, I guess, but not over two years, anyhow, when I saw my first vision. It's been all my life. The people here in the Tabernacle know that. As long as I've been here, not one time has it ever failed. And it never will fail, 'cause it's God. Around the world it's went, a great revival has lit. And now, by the grace of God, I'm in my second million souls, right in my own meeting, winning to the Lord Jesus: second million. That's right. And just think of the other millions that's went out, Oral Roberts, all of them, sparks that's lit off from the thing and went on, thousands times thousands, till around the world there's one great big revival of God's power, moving. And the devil's turning loose all kinds of false things, to counteract it. But the real, true Word of God will go straight to the end. It'll never fail. "I the Lord hath planted it. I'll water it day and night, lest some should pluck it from My hand."

L-85 Now, tonight I claim that Christ raised from the dead. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. Now, the Lord bless you. If He'll do that, then you're... If you believe it, God bless you. Ask Him then when He comes on the scene. If Christ will appear here at this platform... Here's a challenge. If Jesus Christ, God's Son, will appear right here at the platform and do the same things that He did when He was here on earth, will you believe Him? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]
