<TITLE>04. Par 26-33</TITLE>L-26 There's a shaking going on that people don't know nothing about. When Jesus come, He never represented Himself among the big highs. He come to His own; He come to those Who were looking for Him. There's where the shaking come. That's what He does today. The Holy Spirit comes to those who God has called. There's a great shaking amongst the elect: great, powerful thing going on, but the world knows nothing of it.
They think, all this big flowery stuff, and worldwide broadcasts, and televisions, and million-dollar buildings, and everything, and that's the things that's great. That's foolish to the sight of God. God don't look at big things. What man calls foolish, God calls great; and what man calls great, God calls foolish. "It pleased Him, through the foolishness of preaching, to save those which were lost."

L-28 Now, John... What do you think they'd say? "There's an old fanatic out there, old fuzzy-faced-looking fellow, come out of the wilderness with a sheepskin wrapped around him. And, why, he stands in mud, barefooted, out there on the side of the Jordan, and carrying on out there. Who ever heard of such a thing?"
When Jesus come "A Messiah, borned over there in a stable, over a pile of straw, and--and cattle lowing around? And--and you mean with a mother... illegitimate, that was his father... The mother was to be mother before they was even wed, why, he was borned out of holy wedlock. And that fellow?" Oh, my. See? But it was great; they just didn't know it. See? They didn't know It.
And so is the Gospel today great. And the Gospel's shaking like it's never shook before, but it's shaking in the remnant (That's right.), fixing them ready.

L-31 He came to His own, and His own received Him not. He told His disciples, "Don't go in the ways of the Gentiles, but go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. And as you go, he that receives you receives Me. When you go into a city, and they won't receive you, shake the dust from your feet and walk away. And verily I say unto you, be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of the judgment than it will be for that city." And every one of those cities that refused those men are laying in ashes today. Everyone that did receive them is still standing at this hour. That's right. See? Takes Him a long time to answer; but God answers, don't worry. I don't, get started on that one. I never will get into Revelation. Oh.
Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face,
There to sing forever of His saving grace;
On the streets of glory let me lift my voice;
When cares all pass, and home at last, ever to rejoice.

L-32 I like that. Let's bow our heads just... But would you like to stand before you do it? I--I think... The Bible said, "When you stand, praying, forgive." How many has a request you'd just like to just let it be known by a lifted hand? Remember, God sees it; He knows all about it.

L-33 Our heavenly Father, we are approaching Thy Divine holiness in the Name of the Lord Jesus, that all-sufficient Name that was given here among men, that even the families in heaven and in earth is all named Jesus.
And we pray, Lord, that You'll receive our thanksgiving. First, to begin, this dying year as we're issuing it out tonight in service, issuing it out giving praise, studying Thy Word and knowing what THUS SAITH THE LORD means. How many things could we put down on a paper to be thankful for: the little, narrow escapes that we've had this year, where Satan would've smothered our life out, but You're not through with us yet. So we're still continuing on. We believe, Lord, that we're only born and raised in this world to honor and glorify Thee.
And we pray, Father, You forgive us for every trespass and every mistake that we've made down along the journey. Let us forget our mistakes tonight as we confess them, burying them in the Sea of Forgetfulness, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, never to dig them up again; but now press towards this mark to that perfect Man, Christ Jesus. Grant it tonight, Father.
