<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>60-0630, God's Provided Approach To Divine Fellowship, Abundant Life Building, Tulsa, OK, 57 min
L-1 Our heavenly Father, we come into Thy Divine Presence tonight, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, Thy loving Son, offering ourselves, Lord, to Thee, as living sacrifices, dedicating ourselves wholly to Thy cause and to Thy great Gospel in this last days, as Pentecostal believers, as a worshiper of the One true and living God.
How we thank Thee today, that Thou hast made for us a refuge in a time of trouble, a tower that we can run into and be safe when the storms are raging, and the winds are high, the lightning flashing, yet, we can rest just as surely on the promise of God as a baby would feel secured in his mother's arms. We're so glad to have that.

L-2 We thank Thee for this full Gospel fellowship of these businessmen, for their stand in the last day of uniting the body of the Lord Jesus together. We pray, Lord, that this convention will rise constantly until we see the coming of the Lord.
We pray for Brother Oral Roberts, Your noble servant. And as we walk into this building tonight, and see what the faith of one man can do, we thank Thee for him, Father. And we pray that You'll bless his ministry. Wherever he goes and what he does, may it prosper in Your hands.
Bless every minister that's here, all the children of God. Pour out Your Spirit upon us tonight, and correct us and bring us into a--a greater fellowship than we've ever known before with Jesus Christ. Grant it, Lord, for we ask it in Jesus' Name and for His sake. Amen.

L-3 I want to take the subject tonight, "God's Provided Approach To Divine Fellowship," take that for a subject, if I should call it that: "God's Provided Approach To Divine Fellowship."
All day long, I--everything seemed to be different, this certain day. I don't know... Looks like, there's times like that comes in life, when people just begin to see things a little different than what they once seen them. This had been an unusual day: the weather, even, seemed strange. I was noticing, as for my first Bible I ever knew was grand old mother nature. If you'll just follow that, you won't be too far off the road, watching nature, how it works. It was that, that led me to God, knowing that there was a God... watching nature.

L-4 I was coming down the mountain, looking out upon the beautiful Lake Umbagog, which leads out into the Androscoggin River. I noticed the robins all seemed to be getting together and giving their little chirping songs.
Once in a while, you would hear the snort from the male deer. And looked like that they were getting ready for something. It was coming winter, and they were getting ready to yard.
As I plowed on down through the underbrush to meet my friend where we'd parked a canoe, there was a--he was setting on a log, waiting. And I noticed out into the Lake Umbagog such a great swarm of ducks. I never seen so many, hardly, in my life. And Burt, my friend, said, "What do you make of that, Billy?"
I said, "Well, they are getting ready to fly south." I said, "That's the reason that sun set this afternoon... Did you notice how, before it peeped over the mountain, how that it looked so red. It's getting ready to snow, Burt." And some kind of a special instinct, that God has put in animal life, to make ready, to get ready to move, flying time come. I said, "Did you notice the birds today, and the--the robins and so forth? They're getting ready for their winter flight, also. The deers are getting ready to yard, because that there's coming a storm."
