<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0129, Turning Northward, Westward Ho Hotel, Phoenix, AZ, 51 min
L-1 ...?... a cold--Satan handed it over to me, and I handed it back to him. He handed it back to me, and I handed it to him. So just kept on that way until time to go dedicate a church, and then finally I got away from him and went on to dedicate the church.
Standing upon this box this afternoon... That takes me back to the time Mama used to put me on a box to wash the dishes. Well, I hope we do the same thing this afternoon, so the Lord bless.

L-2 A few announcements, announcement I had to make in Houston the other day. I was give a little paper here that said that "Please announce that Brother Van Heuf... Van Heus, and W. P. Hinse, will be in Phoenix, Arizona, February the 27th through March the 5th." Keep that in mind.
And now, I think tomorrow night that Brother Oral Roberts is to speak here. From perhaps this same auditorium? The banquet. And Brother Oral is certainly a masterpiece of God's in the pulpit. Wonderful man of God, a man of faith. And I'm sure it'll do you good to come out and hear Brother Roberts tomorrow night.
And then the breakfast in the morning, and so forth, there's many... many has... Already I've seen many behind the curtain has got their tickets, and so forth. That's fine. So, we're always glad to be in these conventions.

L-3 I know you have something coming off in a few minutes, or just immediately after I get through speaking--some kind of a meeting. I'll cut my words as short as possible. One thing, being a little hoarse, and the next thing squeezed for time, and you've already been here over two hours. I know you're tired.
Now, tomorrow or next Sunday, the Lord willing (next Sunday being February the 5th), next Sunday evening at the Assemblies of God in Tucson, we'll be praying for the sick. Next Sunday evening, beginning at seven-thirty at Tucson, Arizona. And then we travel from there on to the West Coast to the... and to down to below Los Angeles--Long Beach, I believe it is; then up around Bakersfield for the next service, then going on east. I hope that if it's God's will that I be in Zurich the same time these men are there, and also in Jerusalem. I'd like to go to Jerusalem once and see the land where our Lord has been.
I want to greet so many of my fine friends here this afternoon. I see Brother Magnason and Brother Rhodes, so many around here. It'd take quite a time to call their names. And standing here a few moments ago and see little Brother Smith come up and throwed his arms around me--what a wonderful time of fellowship.

L-4 Now, as we read the Scriptures I'd like to take for a text, if it be called that, out of the 3rd verse of the 2nd chapter of Deuteronomy:
 Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.
I'd like to speak on the subject of "Turning Northward."
It would be hard for Israel to think that the promised land was forty years away when they were standing on the other side of the Red Sea, dancing, shouting, rejoicing, when they were only merely just a few days from it. It isn't but just a very short time. I think with an automobile you could probably drive it in an hour and a half. By walking you could make it in two days, three or four something like that, easy. You could go on to the promised land.
And they were thinking that they were almost there, and they were having a great jubilee of shouting and praising God, and seeing what God had did for them, and how that... It'd been hard to make them believe that they was forty years away from that promise, to the full promise of God that He promised them.
