<TITLE>11. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 I love that song that the organ is now playing so sweetly, "Only Believe." How many knows who wrote that song? A buddy of mine, Paul Rader. I was a little boy, just ordained in the Baptist church as I set at Paul's feet. Not long ago, I was at the Rediger Tabernacle at Ft. Wayne. Paul preached the same message I preach right here, the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He believed in Divine healing, the power of God, the second coming.
When he was dying yonder in the hospital in Los Angeles, when the Moody Bible School sent down the quartet to sing for him, they had the shades all at the windows. Paul had a sense of humor. He said, "Who's dying here, me or you?" They were singing, "Nearer My God To Thee." He said, "Raise them shades and sing me some snappy Gospel songs." So they got to singing,
 Down at the cross where my Saviour died,
 Down there for cleansing from sin I cried,
 There to my heart was the blood applied;
 Oh, glory to His name.

L-40 Paul said, "Where's Luke?" That was his brother. His brother, he roamed together through the fields preaching the Gospel, as my son and I go together. And Luke was in the next room. He didn't want to see his brother die. Said, "Tell Luke to come here." And Luke came in the room; he got a hold of Luke's hand; he said, "Luke, we've come a long ways together, brother. We took a many a battle for the Lord. But think of it, Luke; in five minutes from now, I will be standing in the presence of Jesus Christ, clothed in His righteousness." Squeezed his brother's hands and went to meet God.
 Lives of great men all remind us
 We can make our lives sublime,
 With partings leave behind us
 Footprints on the sands of time;
 Footprints, that perhaps another,
 Sailing over life's solemn main,
 For a forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
 Seeing shall take heart again.
We make footprints for somebody to walk in. Let's be gallant soldiers of faith as we sing Paul's song tonight. May he listen from Heaven, if it's possible for a righteous man to listening in, as we sing, "Only Believe," as we worship God.
 Only believe, (Be certain of God. Hold on.)... believe,
 All things are possible, only believe;
 Only believe, only believe,
 All things are possible, only believe.

L-41 You in radio-land, and you also present, I wonder if you'd hold your hand and sing this with me like this:
 Now, I believe, now I believe;
 All things are possible,
 Now, I believe.
Will you raise your hand to God and sing it with me?
 Now, I believe, (I believe God. I'm going to hold on.) now, I believe,
 All things are possible, now I believe;
(Just worship Him now in the song.)
 Now, I believe, oh now, I believe,
 All things are possible, now, I believe.
Let's hum it like this:
 Now, I receive (Do you? Receive His Word?), now, I receive,
 All things are possible (every promise), now I receive;
("Receive Christ in my heart.")
 Now, I receive, oh now, I receive,
 All things are possible, now, I receive.

L-42 Now, I want you to know, friends, as we closing this meeting, if you have accepted Christ as your Saviour, or you've been a wandering star, and tonight you've accepted Christ during this meeting to come home to Him, go back to your church, please do. If you have no church, find you one. If you don't have any choice... Brother Littlefield never told me to say this. But Brother Littlefield, I know to be a man of God. I know Brother Hall to be a man of God. I know these brethren here, many of them, to be men of God. Join their church; they'll do you good. I can only be an evangelist; that's my calling. They're pastors to feed you, and to shepherd you until Jesus comes. They're the caretaker at the end. Jesus give them two pence: the Word and the Spirit. If they need anything more, He will give it when He returns. You know the parable of the good Samaritan.
