<TITLE>11. Par 94-100</TITLE>L-94 There was too much of you in you, till God had to squeeze it out through trials. And while that squeezing was coming on, it's hard. But after while the skies clear back and you see the purpose of God. Then you cry, "I know my Redeemer liveth, and at the last days He'll stand on the earth. Though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." These little trials and things are just for a moment, and they fade and pass away. But they're only done for your good; let us remember that, that God would get glory.

L-95 Shall we bow our heads just a moment. I want to ask before prayer, is there any here would like to be remembered in a word of prayer before we close? God bless you. How many in here would say, "I want God in the hour of my trial now to give to me a new experience, that I can come forth new again"? Raise your hand, say, "I want--I want this to be a resurrection for me, a Easter to resurrect me in new hopes, and new powers, new health, and new joy." The Lord bless you, my dear people.

L-96 Oh, our God and our Saviour, we are so grateful to Thee for this Easter, for what it means to our hearts. And by faith, over yonder, across the land, we can see the coming of the Lord Jesus, as He's making Hisself ready now, putting on His kingly garments. And the church is putting on, the Bridegroom putting on Her wedding gown. There's fixing to be a great meeting pretty soon.
This ash heap can't stand forever. When we're hearing people laughing, making fun of us, and calling us that s--scandalous name of holy-rollers, and making fun of us, and say that we're not even mentally right, oh, it can't last all the time, Lord. But let us be as Job, hold our testimony; let us be as Daniel at the lions' den, or the Hebrew children at the fiery furnace, or Abraham in his journey.

L-98 Help us, O Lord, to stand true until we see that great thing take place, "When the trumpet shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise, we which are alive and remain shall be changed in a moment in a twinkling of an eye." And then will come that Easter for us, that Christ enjoyed some nineteen hundred years ago this morning, and said, "Because I live, you live also."
"This same Jesus, that was taken up from the midst of us, shall come back just the way He went." We shall see Him, even every scar in His hand and every thorn print on His head. We shall see Him.
Oh, I shall know Him, I shall know Him,
And redeemed by His side I shall stand.

L-100 Yes, Lord, my poor heart, as thi--this feeble body of mine begins to bend beneath the load, the cares and toils of the harvest field, the mission fields, and the ups-and-downs, and the indifference between arrogant ministers, and so forth, across the place, and the people scorning, and evil powers... But, O Lord, someday we're coming like Elijah, down to the river, look over there, harnessed to every bush, a chariot of fire that'll pack us away. Let us know that these ash heaps are only veils to hide us from that great thing that just lays ahead, that great glory.
May we remain true like Job, until we can see Him face to face. May we be as true as our Lord was, as our example, to go to Calvary to--ready to be crucified, and be crucified with Him, that there might be a resurrection in our life. Grant it, Lord.
May, if there be any scorners here, that was like Paul of old, that's made fun, may they find the Easter on their road home this morning. Grant it, Lord.
We pray, Lord, that those that are on the ash heap of destruction, ash heap of sickness, that this will be the hour that they will be delivered.
