<TITLE>10. Par 35-38</TITLE>L-35 Daniel had to have a conference, and God sent an Angel. Maybe, a Pillar of Fire, Light, scared those animals off, and they did not have the power over Daniel. Because he'd held a conference, a prayer meeting somewhere. That's what does the difference.
When we get so wrapped up in the things of the world, till we can't come to church on Sunday night, or--or Monday night, or any other night, and have to watch our television programs, and certain things like that, that shows that the world has leaked into us.

L-36 What the Pentecostal church and all other churches needs, tonight is to lay aside every weight, and the sin that does easily beset us, that we might run with patience the race that's set before us. We need a conference, a universal prayer meeting for the church of the living God to be called together. Don't think I am angry or beside myself; I know what I speak of. The need of the church tonight is a conference, a prayer meeting, a get together, call together.
Ministers, break down their middle wall of partition. Church members that'll forget the differences between the denominations of churches. Church members, and ministers, hold to the horns of the altar with one accord and pray until the fire of God begins to fall again. God knows the... The stubbornness, indifference of men is broke up, and godly fear, and brotherly love takes its place in the human heart. Then you'll become salty. Then the message will have its preeminences in the heart. It'll have its influence in the city.

L-37 We could scream, and shout, and do whatever we want to; it'll never influence man until they see the life of Christ being projected in you, someone who's tender, and merciful, and forgiving, and ready to--to turn the other side of the cheek, or give the second coat, or go the second mile: Christianity in action, not just taught from the pulpit, but acted among the members, among the pastors. That's when you see Christ living in the church, decisions made.
Jesus was brought Himself to a decision. And before going to Calvary, the Father brought His own Son into conference in Gethsemane, while Angels taking their positions, to see what the decision would be.
Oh, it might not have been this way, but let's think maybe it was. I can hear Him say, "Son, do You desire to go on to Calvary? There's a band waiting for You; there's persecution; there's death and murder laying in the way. There's exposure of Your own body; they'll strip the clothes off of You; they'll beat You into pulp. They'll pull a crown of thorns over your head, and You'll die screaming for mercy. Should You go on?"

L-38 Look at the decision. And sometimes when we setting in our seats and the Holy Spirit say, "You must do this, or you must do that..." You got someone you won't speak to you; you won't speak to them. You won't make it right. And you're just ashamed to go up and say, if you are in the wrong or what, if you're not in the wrong, to go up and say, "Brother, let's forget it and talk it over."
Jesus, when He looked up into the face of the Father, He said, "It's not My will; it's Yours to be done." What a decision. That decision anchored and swept the world, and still comes tonight to every penitent soul. "Not My will, but Thine be done." That's the decision of...
