<TITLE>07. Par 28-31</TITLE>L-28 Could you imagine a artist painting a great picture, beautiful till it's sublime and then just tear it up? There'd be something wrong with the artist. Could you imagine a composer write a song until it's sublime and then just tear his--his music up? There'd be something wrong with the composer. See? There's nothing wrong with God. God don't make a thing like this just to tear it up and throw it away. It's for His Kingdom. It's for His glory.
Each one of us play a part in this picture and in this song. We're parts of the Kingdom of God. And that is, that we can play our parts, as long as we realize where we are positionally belong in this place, and then stay right there in that place. In one place we know it's in love, because that's what makes up the picture.

L-29 Now, it's hard when you see these visions like this and things, to understand what's--what's on the other side. I wished I knowed. The man did this little insert down there to say that prophets of old, how they saw these visions and so forth, and how that today beyond even what... We can't understand it. But the Lord has let us press into that and to see what that is.
Now, friends, I wasn't asleep, and I, just, between you and I and this church here, I wasn't in a vision. I know what a vision is. Some here... Just last week some as many as thirty times a night it would happen. You can imagine the weight that's on you. Makes you nervous, of course.

L-30 What if you went to a meeting like that and just the responsibility, if the meeting went right or not was on you, just--just the responsibility? You got to answer each miss--minister, each question, each everything. The meeting goes right or not, it lays just a responsibility on you alone. Look what that would do to you.
There's some of my associates just simply selling books and so forth, get so nervous, they'd have to go home (See?), lay down, wouldn't come to the church that night. My. Oh, it's just terrible. Like my daughter-in-law, lovely little Christian girl, Loyce, just--just by going in the meeting just so--for eight weeks or seven weeks constantly like that, just had to lay in bed for a day or two (See?), with no responsibility.
Billy just give out a few prayer cards and just tore to pieces. But, see, the whole weight lays upon me. I have to depend on you to pray for me. See? Besides that, they claim that--that twenty minutes of--of preaching under inspiration is compared with eight hours of hard work to your body. I preach from two to three hours a night, sometimes three times a day. See?

L-31 And then what about one vision? One vision made our Lord Jesus get weak. That's right. The Bible said, a woman touched His garment, made Him get weak. Well, if one vision would make Him weak, Him the Son of God, what about me a sinner saved by grace? What would do thirty of them in one night? See?
It's... If we just stop and think it's beyond any human. A human body can't stand that. I'd be in the insane institution somewhere, butting my head against the walls. See? It's--it's such a weakness that you can't... It's an inward weakness (See?) that just kills you out.
Now, but what would you press then? I might say this that I see Brother and Sister Cox there, Rodney and his wife, and sister, here from back in there, new converts. There's a land just out yonder somewhere, that if you ever... Can you just think in your mind and get a view of it, it's the most glorious thing. It's worth every effort that we put forth. See?
