L-1 Thank you, Brother...?... You can be seated. This is a great privilege that I have looked forward to for some time. I've often...?... on Saturday. And waited with great anticipation for this time to come. And with Brother Pittman, and Brother Wilson, and many of the other ministers that I have met in different parts of the country, and been invited here for around seven or eight years. And tonight to be here, it certainly is a grand privilege.

L-2 And now, we do not want to take too much time, 'cause Mr. Vayle and them, they speak, and the ministers. And we've come to be with you for these five days. Wished we could stay longer.
Just to walk in the building and feel the--the--the spirit of the meetings seems to be right, at the very first to begin. Oh, I--I like that. And now, it goes to show you got fine ministers here that's been teaching you, and with prayer meetings. That's what makes the meetings, is people who are praying.
Now, a minister cannot bring a revival himself. It takes God to send the revival, and it takes people, His people, who are willing to congregate themselves together and pray. Then He said, "I would hear from heaven, if the people that are called by My Name shall assemble themselves together and pray." Then He would hear from heaven, and He would heal them. And we know His promises are true.

L-3 I thought tonight it would be a good time just to get acquainted, speak of what we are here for, what we stand for, what our purpose is of being here. And then we get, kind of get acquainted. Tomorrow afternoon there's an instruction service. Then tomorrow night again, we pray for the sick.
We do not think and place all the emphasis on praying for the sick. We place the si... pray for the sick just like when you go fishing. You take the bait, but you never show the fish the hook. You just let him see the bait. And when he gets the bait, he gets the hook. So that's what...

L-4 We preach the Gospel; we believe first that a man must be borned again. He must be borned again. And then, well, if he's not borned again, then he cannot understand the Kingdom of God. Jesus told Nicodemus that. "Except a man be borned again, he cannot see the Kingdom." The word "see" there, is the English translation which really means, "cannot understand," the Kingdom of God, until he's borned again.

L-5 And now, many of you has read the books of the life story. We don't have any programs to sponsor, anything. We don't sell things, just... We have a few books, I think they said they have about sixty or seventy-five. That's all. Because the books are out of print at the time, being reprinted.
And then they have some of the pictures, which of the Angel of the Lord, which will be shown or talked about later.
Now, we're not here to represent or to build up any certain denomination of--of church. We are here to represent a person. And that person is Christ. We're here for a principle, and that's for His--His principle. We come to greet you in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
We're not against any denomination. We're for all denomination, regardless of what creed or color. We stand for all denominations, but no certain ones. So therefore it's a union meeting. Everybody can feel good to come.
It's not in a church, in an auditorium like this, or it's the little basketball room, and anybody can come. Everybody's welcome, Protestant, Catholic, Jew, atheist, infidel. Anybody that wants to come can come right ahead. They're all welcome.
