<TITLE>22. Par 73-76</TITLE>L-73 Heavenly Father, look like I could talk all night, such a wonderful group of people, their hearts just so--just like receptacles, Lord, just pulling from you. How I love that, Father. And to know that I believe that this is the Abrahamic, the church, the called out, the elected church with the Gospel truth, preaching it.
Many, Lord, may not be able to crawl into the different signs, as I said. But they don't stand in others' ways who do. Lord God, they believe You. They believe the--the Word. Many of them was preaching when I was a little boy. And here, standing here tonight before such men, men who hold the Gospel truth in their bosom. Women... They got their wives here, their loved ones, children. They're sick and needy. They stood for this.
They... Years ago they was outcasts, ousted from the other churches, stood on a corner with a tambourine in their hand; some of the women not even enough money to buy stockings. They stood there with an old guitar in their hands, and strummed it, and proclaimed the message.

L-74 God, the hour's come now. The hour is here. They paved the way, made straight the path in the wilderness. We pray that the Messiah of God will ride down that path tonight, down into their midst. Show us, Lord, Your Presence. "Sirs, we would see Jesus." --this Jesus that they talked about, and stood under persecution of His Name. Lord, appear in their midst tonight and show that You're still that same Messiah, that You're not dead.
You raised from the dead and You live in Your church. You're the One that's with them all along. Grant it, Father. Just let us see You, and every one of them will believe, Father. We commit ourselves to You. We pray that You'll grant this blessing through Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.

L-75 Now, I'm going to ask you now, if everybody will just remain in their seat now for a few minutes. Now, I can stand here and talk of these things. But now, are they true? That's the next thing. Are they true? Many of you has never seen it, but you still believe it. See? You still believe it anyhow. But now, I don't know that He will, but I'm trusting that He will. And if He does act and do the same way that He did when He was here on earth...
Now, the only way He can do it is for me to submit myself to Him, just yield myself and get myself out of the way, and you get yourself out of the way. Now, that's the only way. Together then we'll see the Messiah. Just yielding myself won't do it. Just... You have to yield yourself and I have to yield myself, and together the Messiah works among us, because we're His people, chosen, sanctified by His Blood. The Holy Spirit dwells in us, and He just...
Like that little button being the Holy Spirit, when it come in baptismal form, then it just begins to spread out. When we get all the roots of bitterness and evil away from us, God just takes over and begins to move.

L-76 Look at this microphone. That microphone is a--is a mute without something speak in it. That ain't the microphone speaking; that's me. So it couldn't be me speaking; it'd be Him, 'cause... See? It couldn't be you speaking; it's Him. See? We know nothing of the future.
We know not... I don't... There's not a person, since I've been setting here looking in this building, that I know, 'less it'd be Brother Moore, and Brother Brown here, and Brother Mercier, setting behind me, my son setting there.
I might know some of you men if I'd... You'd tell me who your name was, or tell me where we met... I don't know, be more likely to know the preachers. How many out in this audience knows that I'm a stranger to you? Raise up your hand, don't know nothing about you, know nothing of your harm, your diseases, or troubles, or so forth? See, everywhere.
