<TITLE>10. Par 34-37</TITLE>L-34 Yes, there was a conference held. And then a few days (about ten days after that), they'd started through a gate called Beautiful, two men, Peter and John. And there laid a man who was crippled, or he was lame from his mothers womb. (And that proves that they were Pentecostal preachers; they said, "Silver and gold, I have none.") "I don't have any money, but such as I have..."
That's what Pentecost needs today: what they had: that's the lack in the church today. Not only Pentecost, but Baptist, and Presbyterian, and Methodist; that's the lack of all of us.
"Such as I have, give I thee. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk," picking him up by the hands, and he received strength and begin leaping and praising God as he entered the temple.

L-35 The Pharisees come out and said, "They can't have such a meeting in the city, because it would only bring a bad result." So, they brought them together at the Sanhedrin court, and beat them unmercifully, and put them before the jury of the Sanhedrin court. And when they stood at the court, and they said, "We perceive that they are both ignorant and unlearned," (no seminary did they ever have an experience from), "but we had to take notice to them, that they'd been with Jesus," because the same things Jesus did, they were doing. "We had to take heed that they had been with Jesus."
Oh, that's what the church needs today: such a power that they'll have to take heed that you've been with Jesus. That's my hearts desire, to live a life that people knows that Christ lives within us.

L-36 Oh, what a time. Then when they got--let go--when they beat them and told them not to preach no more in the Name of Jesus, they threatened them further and then let them go. Being let go, they went to their own little group. When they come together, man was coming from other places, saying, "We suffered like manner. What must we do?" So they held a conference. That's the way to do it. That's good sound sense. "We've been threatened, and we've been "this," and we've been beaten. Let's hold a conference."
And one day we were assembled together, they all got down on their knees in this conference, and prayed with one accord, and said, "Thou God, it is written in the Scriptures, 'Why did the heathens rage and the people imagine a vain thing.' Give to Thy servants all boldness to speak, and power to stretch forth the hand of Thy holy Child Jesus, to show signs and wonders and healing."
And when that conference was over, orders came, and they shook the building where they were assembled together, the power of the Holy Ghost. And they went forth preaching the Word, everywhere, with boldness, stretching forth the hand of Jesus Christ upon the people by faith and healing the sick.

L-37 God wants to talk it over with us tonight. What's the matter? We've lost something somewhere, if them things are not still going on. He wants to hold a conference with us, talk it over. Now, I'm here to join in with you in this conference.
Now there's just one more conference that I'd like to speak of just before closing, and that's this one: The conference of judgment. You might not have attended the U.N. You might not have been at the League of Nations and their conferences. You might not have been at the general conference of the Assemblies of God, or the general conference of the Church of God, or the general conference of the Methodist, or--or whatever conference... You might not have been at The Big Four. You might not have been at Geneva. But there's one thing sure, you're going to attend this last one. We're all going to be there, and we're going to give an account for everything that we've done. And when the Scripture comes before us, "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white like snow... Come now, let us reason together saith God..." What are we going to say at that time?
