<TITLE>08. Par 30-34</TITLE>L-30 After forty days, He was standing, giving His last commission, "Go into all the world and preach the Gospel (not build churches, not make organizations, but preach the Gospel; we did otherwise.). These signs shall follow them that believe; in My Name they shall cast out devils..." and so forth, as He goes on.
As He was speaking, gravitation become conquered. There becomes light under His feet, as hundreds of brethren, watching. And He begins to move up, on up, ascending up, Him and the Old Testament saints, going into glory. They went on beyond the stars, beyond the moon, beyond the stars of stars. And they come in sight of the great City. Oh, what that must have been, Jesus out in front, as that great Conqueror, marching on.
And all of a sudden, the Old Testament saints come in the sight of the big beautiful City, and they screamed with one great blast that shook the heavens. "Lift up, ye everlasting gates, and be ye lifted up, and let the King of glory come in."

L-31 You know, they said, when Hitler conquered France, that he stood by the Arch of Triumph, while German soldiers, by the endless miles marched through, and the planes blacked the skies. They were all there to celebrate Hitler's great coming into France. How they brought Stalin into Germany, but oh, brother, when the church brought Jesus in that day: "Lift up ye everlasting gates and be ye lifted up, and let the King of glory come in."
And the Angel said, "Who is this King of glory?
And the Old Testament saints, cried back, "The Lord of host, mighty in battle, the great Conqueror. He led captive captive and give gifts unto men." The Bible said He did.

L-32 And you talk about a welcome home? As the Angels over them great pearly gates, as they swung open, and Jesus, right down through the streets of glory, with the Old Testament saints behind him, singing, "All hail the power of Jesus Name." And He come up in the front of the Father's throne, and said, "Father, here they are. They were faithful over a few things."
He said, "Get up here, Son, and set on the right hand, until I make all Thy foes, Thy footstool." There He stands, tonight.
 Lo, behold the mighty Conqueror.
 Lo, and behold Him in plain view.
 For He is the mighty Conqueror,
 Since He rent the veil in two.

L-33 There has never been nothing conquer like our Lord Jesus Christ. What this world needs tonight, is some reality. What this world needs tonight, is something that means something. What the world's looking to see in you Christians, is something that's genuine. They're so tired of seeing church played. They're so tired of being fed up. "I'm Presbyterian. I'm Methodist. I'm Catholic. I'm Pentecostal. I'm Nazarene." That isn't what the world's a hungering for. They're hungering for the true Bread of Life.
Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth, but if the earth has lost it's savour--or the salt has lost it's savour, it's not good for nothing but to be made roads out of."
Salt is the savour, if it contacts. You just be salty; the world will get thirsty. God give us men and women who are real, men and women who stand gallantly. You're weakest link in your chain, is the strongest place. That tells the chain, no matter how strong other things are, that weak in one point. There's where you want keep covered.

L-34 Here, sometime ago... As all of you know, that I'm a hunter. Not to kill the game, I just go to live where--out to see God, get out in the nature. Sometimes I get so sick and tired of smelling gasoline and cigarettes, till it make you vomit. I like to go way up into His cathedral up on top of the mountain somewhere, there be alone, not hear the hums of airplane motors and so forth, but to hear the everlasting whisper of God's voice through the winds as it comes through the pines. That's God to me. Oh, there's something real about it.
