<TITLE>04. Par 25-32</TITLE>L-25 I heard a familiar "Amen" then that I've heard for years, Brother Russell Creech. They tell me that Patty was the one speaking in tongues back there the other night. Patty, where you at? You here, honey? Yeah, my, I wouldn't even know her if I seen her. But I believe I held that child in my arms and dedicated her to the Lord, right here. "And she's a young woman," Meda said, "a young, beautiful, young teenage girl," with the power of the Holy Ghost upon her, speaking in... Russell, you are a rich man. Yes, you are.
Where's Sister Creech at? I haven't seen her. Is she around? Back there. O Sister Creech, how thankful I am that God has give you a child like that, why, you don't realize how--how thankful. At the age where teenage girls are snickering and laughing and going on, you know, with a bunch of nonsense to these guys and their duck haircuts and everything, and like that; and this little kid here with the power of the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues in here. Oh, my.
Um. How many men tonight, Pentecostal preachers, that would give their whole life if they could see their teenage daughter who's out to the rock-and-roll parties do that.

L-28 Just--just value that, brother. I know what you're doing there at the Interstate; I done the same thing, worked a many hard day. But, brother, to raise them children... But remember, God's faithful, there'll be reward. Yes, indeed. "I will repay."
God bless you, Patty. Honey, I--I wouldn't know you if I seen you, I guess, but don't never leave that straight path, honey. Never let the devil put any--anything in you, like a nice golden apple, because it'll be a lemon. See? Drop the thing and leave it like that. Keep your eyes right on Christ, right on the cross. And keep moving on, for the hour is at hand, See?

L-30 So many things of exhortations I could just say, the blessings of God. I haven't been able to visit many, and this whole week I haven't prayed for over fifty people, I guess, and the ins-and-outs, and emergencies and what's come in, and so forth, but I been busy studying. But now, next Sunday, we'll be praying for the people and ask the Lord to come down and give us the great power, and manifest Hisself to us next Sunday morning, the Lord willing.

L-31 Oh, I just hate to start on this church age, because I know that's the last one of them. And... Now, in this, its going to be the--the winding up of the Seven Church Ages. Have you enjoyed it? [Congregation replies, "Amen."--Ed.] Now, remember, I say this at the end as I did at the beginning: there may be many things--there may be many things that you firmly disagreed with me, but don't hold it against me. See? Just love me anyhow, because it wouldn't make any difference what you would do or what you'd say; I'll think just the same of you; if anything, more (See?), and they'd... I'd think more of you. But I love you; God knows that. There isn't a man that could call the Name of Jesus Christ but what I'd love him. See?

L-32 And I never want any bitterness or indifference, though we could firmly disagree. If we was setting at a table and one eating one kind of pie, and one, another, that'd be just as much as right here. See? When it comes to fellowship with one another, we love one another. And if we don't do that, then we should do that. And if--we'll never go no farther in God until we do do that.
Just don't forget; don't forget that the greatest gift of all gifts is love. "Though I speak with tongue of men and Angels, have my body to be burned as a sacrifice, understand all knowledge, so forth, I am nothing. So... But when that which is perfect, which is love..." If all of the spiritual gifts isn't mortared together with love, it won't hold. Any other mortar will break away, "But love continueth forever." See, that is I Corinthians 13.
