<TITLE>11. Par 41-44</TITLE>L-41 Poor little Sarah, she ducked that little head, them little brown eyes looked at me, colored up with tears, and started to turn around. And Becky was hugging her up close to me. I motioned to Sarah like this with my finger and stuck my other knee out. And here she come, them big pajama feet flying. She jumped right, straddled my lap like that. And I just reached over and got her with both arms and hugged her up real tight.
She laid there a little bit against my chest. And she looked over to Becky, and she said, "Rebekah, my sister." She said, "It may be true that you've got all of daddy, but I want you to know daddy's got all of me."
That's it. We may not have a lot of theology; and we may not know too much about how to split a molecule, or we're not very old. But one thing: just so Christ has got all of me. That's all I want. See? I may not have all of Him. As long as He's got all of me, He will help me and balance me, until I grow a little older, I'm sure.

L-42 Now, in the blessed, old Word. Oh, I love the Word. "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word of God. Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away," said Jesus. Now...
And straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Fear not, be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
It must have been about the going down of the sun. It'd been a great day, rather warm. And the big fisherman, as we know, Simon, big, burly fellow, bald-headed, wide shoulders, pushing the boat off of the bank... And he finally got it--the stern pushed off, and climbed aboard himself, and shoved it out into the water and walked down along the rest of the seats, and took his place by the side of Andrew, his brother...
The people on the shore were waving good-bye, "God be with you until we meet again," and waving, and so happy because of the great meeting that day. As they started taking their oars with one accord, pulling together... That's the way you make the boat move is when you make the same stroke together.

L-43 That's what I stood in the breach with the Pentecostal brethren: when we could each stand by our oar and pull with the rest of them, the boat will move right on across. Our little bark will move across the sea of life, that we're sailing life's solemn main now. And that's what we need is cooperation, coordination, and pull together steadily. It'll certainly move the load.
And as they moved on out, oh, after the sun already turned red, going down, they got plumb out of the hearing distance of the last one waving, "Farewell."

L-44 And I believe, that it must have been young John (as he was the youngest among all of them)... Young John must've brushed back the shaggy hair from his eyes and said, "You know, I've been thinking since this afternoon. And, oh, how real the Bible is to me now. Did you notice Him, brethren, that look on His face when He took those biscuits, and broke them, and fed that five thousand? He looked to me like Jehovah standing there. And He broke those fishes and handed them out, and His... I got up close and looked and to see Him when He'd break that fish in two and hand it out. And when He reached back, there would be another piece of cooked fish on there, until thousands of pieces of fish come off of that piece of fish, already cooked. I seen Him when He broke that biscuit, hand it out, reached back and that biscuit was whole again, just kept handing it out. And seen Him take up all those baskets full of food."
You know, brethren, I can assure you," he must have said, "that we're not deceived. That Man has some contact with Jehovah, because my mother, when I was a little boy, used to read stories to me how Jehovah rained bread out of heaven and fed our people, our ancient people, when they crossed the desert. For forty years in the wilderness, God Jehovah fed them out of heaven, rained the bread, cooked on the ground with honey on it. Now, this Man does things like Jehovah did them." Amen. I like that.
