<TITLE>11. Par 31-33</TITLE>L-31 Now, I find it with my Brother Roberts, with Brother Hicks, and many other of--of great men, we find that it's slumping. You can't get people out. Preach over twenty minutes, they get sick of it. They go back; there's something wrong. What is it? The alarm went off, and you turned over and shut the alarm off; you want to sleep a little longer. The morning cometh, but night cometh first. Don't turn the alarm off; let it alarm. Jump to your feet; it's time to get up. When the preachers warn of the coming of God and the coming of the Son of God, don't turn your alarm off, don't try to drown it, don't go back into the world, say, "I got a few wild oats to sow." You thirty-five year olders and you teen-agers, don't try that. Jump to your feet, let the alarm go. That's God's Holy Spirit warning you to flee from the wrath that is to come.
When you see the sick being healed, the blinded eyes opened, deaf ears unstopped... Oh, we had a lot of fanaticism went with it; it always goes. We have that in every meeting that's ever been; we always have it. Look at that...
I was reading about Martin Luther not long ago. It said it wasn't a great mystery how Martin Luther could protest the Catholic church and get by with it, but the greatest mystery was that he could hold his head above all the fanaticism that followed the revival and still come out. That's it. Keep your mind on Christ, your eyes on Calvary; move forward. Let nothing lay--put you back in the bed asleep. Say, "Oh, well, look here, this happened, that happened," don't have discernment of Spirit. Don't shut your alarm off; listen to it.

L-32 And remember what happened just before the coming of day? When the dark time comes, then the morning star comes out, and it's the brightest stars in the heaven, is the morning star. Oh, don't miss this now. The morning star comes out between that little light spell and the real breaking of day. As soon as it gets real dark, just before the break of day, the morning star shines its brightest. What's it doing? It's reflecting the light of the coming sun. Do you get it? What makes...
Science says that the reason it gets so dark is because that light is pressing the darkness. It's congealing together, and that's what makes it dark; it's the oncoming light. Who is the Light of the world? Jesus. Oh, not some new U.N. or program of the world, get your mind off of it. Get your mind on the coming of Jesus. What is it? The Morning Star.

L-33 Let's go over to the Revelation. Jesus said Himself, "He that overcometh, I will give him the morning star." The Bible said that. What is it? A overcomer, one that's overcome the world, overcome self, overcome pride. "I'll make him the morning star." What does it to do? "I'll shine him up and set him up there that I can... by My oncoming power will reflect My own Presence (Hallelujah.) in the darkness. He that overcomes, will I give the morning star." What's the morning star set there for? To reflect the sun coming. What is the morning star? Is the sun shining against it, reflecting the presence of the coming of the sun. It's the brightest thing in heaven. The brightest thing in heaven ought to be today, and is today, the minister, or the Christian, or the Spirit filled man that's so filled with the Holy Spirit till he's forsaken the world and everything. And God is reflecting His light, coming through him, warning the world that the approaching S-o-n is at hand. Oh, what hour...
