<TITLE>05. Par -</TITLE>L-7-2 After you see this great something that I'm trying to build your mind into for a context, I'm trying to let you see out here that there is a--a working of an enemy. And the working of the enemy by a perverted spirit is trying to do that which the Spirit of Christ is trying to do. The enemy is trying, like the pro and con, to unite all the world under one great head. The world's a doing that, Russia, U.N. And now, let me go just a little further. And the church is trying to do it under man-made setups.
It'll never work. It's not God's program. I can prove that by His Word. But you know, God made you a person to make you desire to be that way, so that He could fill you up with His goodness. Now, if a man has to be full of something... That's right.

L-7-4 This is the choosing time. You cannot stand neutral any longer. You may leave before the message is over, but you can't go out that door the same person you come in. That's right. You'll cross that threshold tonight either a better person or a--a more evil person than you was when you entered. You can't help it. It's up to you to make a decision. Now, notice. It's a choosing time. You can't be neutral.
It's a choosing time. You must choose you this day whom you're going to serve. And the devil has presented many things glamorous that you can choose if you wish to. You can't remain the way you are, because you've got to be... if you're empty...

L-7-6 Now, I wish this to stay among us. And the good Lord of heaven knows that I'm not saying this to be indifferent, but I'm just saying this to show a truth. And our great evangelists who are crossing the world today... And not long ago I had the privilege of setting at the breakfast with this famous Billy Graham, who I believe is God's servant, going across the nations, calling them to Christ, calling the world to Christ and to repentance.
And I heard him say before a group of preachers, as he picked up the Bible like this, and he said, "This is the--the example." He said, "Paul went into a city, and he made a convert, He came back a year later, and he had thirty converts." He said, "I go into a city and have twenty thousand converts. I come back in a year and don't have twenty."

L-8-1 Oh, how I wanted to say something. But that was his meeting. Billy Graham with his message is telling people to repent and to turn from sin. And that's an essential message, and God has chosen Billy Graham to do it. No one else can do it like he has done, because he's following the Lord. He is in the Spirit of John, which before the first coming of Christ went forth and preached repentance and done no miracles, but he preached and stirred the regions and made them ready for the next message coming.

L-8-2 But today as Billy Graham, our beloved brother, as he's having the people to dump themselves out with sin, he hasn't got the message of filling-up again. That's what's the matter. You are dumped out. But let me humbly speak to you as your brother. The Bible said, "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walks in dry places." In other words, he's going around everywhere trying to find rest. A spirit is not very bad until he can find somebody that he can talk to or live through.
