<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 I just wonder, before I speak to you just on a little subject, how many would think that the Holy Spirit would be more pleased if I start tonight holding healing services? I haven't got time to consult, and we--we have to give out some prayer cards, 'cause there's too many people there just to say, "Let this bunch come here and this one over here." We'll have to pass cards--prayer cards out. Would you think it would be a good thing to hold the next two nights of healing service, so I could get the general idea? Let's see the... Well, thank you. That's all right. Now, we will do it then.
When is your afternoon meeting, sir? Two o'clock. Well, I'll tell you; I'll send Leo... Where is he at? I guess he, Leo and Gene down there, Billy, or some of them this afternoon with prayer cards, give to each one that wants a prayer card. I'll change my subjects tonight and--and pray for the sick.

L-9 And a... the next convention I want to preach on, "The Eagle Stirs Its Nest." I've tried it for the last two or three and missed it. All right. Now, I just enjoy the Word, don't you? Just enjoy the Word... So this morning when I jumped up and I said, "Oh, wife," and the kiddies were staying several miles out in the country, and they were just holding up their breakfast till I can get back to them to get their breakfast.
And I got the little fellows with me, and, oh, I have such a big time with those kiddies and everything. And I don't get to be with them very much. And when I go home at nighttime we wallow around on the floor till midnight. Joseph wants to piggy-back, and Becky wants me to tell her a story about something; you know how it goes. And so, we have a great time though.

L-10 And we didn't get in last night till--to bed till nearly one o'clock. And then Joseph, I think, slept half the night astraddle my neck by then, and so, we love our children. And they... We take them. I taken them to breakfast, and they was going sleep in while I was coming down to have this time of fellowship, and a breakfast that you couldn't buy with money, neither to serve it across the table, a breakfast of fellowship around the saints of God. And no service is right without reading His Word, so I want to read just a portion from Saint John 3, and say, the 5th verse, and just talk to you because my throat's raw.
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a man be born of water and... Spirit, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.

L-11 I'm wondering this morning, as we are gathered here together brothers and sisters, you ministers and Sunday school teachers, and whatever you are: What does this all mean? Why are we here, and what's the great struggle? And each night I've been trying to say this, look like, many times trying to condemn organizations and trying to condemn this, and condemn that. I am an extremist. That's true. And sometimes I go so far on one side I overbalance the other. But I don't mean to do that. I'm trying to say this: That all of our fine organizations, and our fine men, and fine women, yet, when we come in His Presence, I'm afraid that we might find ourself short, and we don't want to be that way then. Let's--let's have it now.
