<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0214, The Basis Of Fellowship, First Assembly Of God Of Long Beach, Long Beach, CA, 82 min
L-1 Just remain standing a moment and let's pray while we're standing up. Anybody got a special request, just raise up your hand, say, "Lord, remember my request tonight." Watching this boy setting here in a wheelchair with his hand up, I pray that God will heal him tonight. And let's just be in prayer now as bow our heads, each one in your own way.

L-2 Our heavenly Father, we come to Thee in the precious Name of the Lord Jesus, to thank Thee for all that Thou has done for us. This is another day that we're spared, Lord, one day this side of eternity yet. We thank Thee for it. And if we have did anything that was displeasing to Thee, we ask forgiveness.
And we pray now that You'll take the service into Thy hand and continue with us, Father, as we read the Word and begin to speak on the Word. O God, may the Holy Spirit come. May we have fellowship around the Word, Lord, just great glorious fellowship. Grant it. Bless us together and answer each request; Thou knowest their hearts and what they have need of. My hand's up too, Lord, and I pray that You'll remember my request. Remember those who are sick and afflicted and needy, and the people calling and crying and begging, and their loved ones dying. Oh, it's a sick world, Lord. Come, Lord Jesus, take us from it, Lord, to that glorious land where there's no sickness and sorrow. Speak to us tonight and through us; circumcise the lips that speak and the ears that hear. And bless Thy Word, and may It be a Seed in our hearts to build faith. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-3 Lord bless you as you're being seated. We are indeed a privilege we deem this to be here again tonight. And now, tomorrow, the Lord willing, we're to be, tomorrow afternoon, at two-thirty, at the Old Pisgah Home with Brother Smith, at two-thirty tomorrow afternoon. Now, they'll have to tell you directions. I--I guess anybody knows where the Old Pisgah Home is, I guess. The Pisgah church or Pisgah Home, is that? Yes, home and church it's called. I was...
Brother Smith is a very precious friend of mine. We've missionaried together in the Islands, and he's a very fine Christian gentleman. And you that live in around near there, I don't know how far it is, but it's somewhere here in California. I wouldn't know what. I'm just simply would--don't know my way around here. And I make so many mistakes around here anyhow.

L-4 I had something today; I had some fellowship with Brother Arganbright. They said he just was speaking. I'd been out some little lady outside the door there crying to go see her father, dying with cancer. And you don't know how many of those there is, just everywhere. And so I was up to have fellowship with Brother Arganbright this morning.
I just almost made one of the most horrible mistakes. I was standing in Clifton's Cafeteria where I'm speak next Saturday morning for the Christian Business Man. And I stand there watching the people come in, and I--I seen some young lady come in, and I was going to go over and ask her if she wanted me to pray for her. I--I thought there was something wrong and with her eyes. And I'd seen leprosy, and glaucoma, ophthalmia, I--but I never seen any eyes like that. And come to find out, it--it wasn't that, 'cause here come some more in. It was some kind of stuff she had on her eyes. It was... I was just... Good thing something stopped me. She'd... And she had some kind of a chartreuse looking stuff down this one then some dark blue behind that and it... I thought the poor thing was just about to die; I didn't know she...?... I thought, "That's--that's the first time I ever seen anything like that. Is that some new fad or something they're doing?"
