L-1 Thank you, Brother Sullivan. Good evening friends. Happy to be here again tonight in the service of our great King and Saviour, Jesus Christ, trusting that He has been real good to you today, and blessed you. And we're expecting tonight the exceedingly, abundantly above all that we could do or think.
Kind of good to be up here tonight. My wife tells me down home it's fixing to snowing down there, so I think I'll just stay up in Ohio...?...
I've got a few days of... I hope... to rest if I can... I can't stay home. I just get home and leave it again, 'cause it's worse at home than it is anywhere... at home. So I... really tired. I've been going since Christmas. Started two weeks in the Tabernacle on the Seven Church Ages... Left there and went down Shreveport, Louisiana, from there to Arlington, Texas, or, beg your pardon, Beaumont, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona, Tucson, Arizona, Long Beach, Visalia, California, our tour...?... California then back up to Richmond, Virginia, and then over here.

L-2 And I got a... just about gone, when it comes to physically speaking. But... Outside, I feel strong, but the inside...?... it just get tired, can't think right, but I believe that God will bless our efforts as we try to serve Him. The Lord bless you.
I hope it don't freeze you, but I'm glad they turned that off, 'cause it's a little... It's so noisy. Can you hear me better now? That's good. Somebody get some nails and fix this for us today and... I hope so. I was afraid it was going to fall off last night, and I had it kind of propped down here a little bit.

L-3 Now, we're going to approach the Lord tonight, His Word, rather, upon a prophetic subject, one that I have thought of and talked of these times of... but I want to kind of approach it in a standpoint, tonight, a little different, 'cause...
Many of you was calling me today and told me that they couldn't hear back there, such a rebound, a rumble; you, you don't get the words too well. That's the essential part, is to get the Word, because after all, it's the Word that counts. The Word of God is what counts.

L-4 I hope I wasn't misunderstood last night by many of our brethren. You see, if we are approaching God, we have to come upon the... His invitation of His Word. We must be loyal to that Word. And if you do anything, or say anything, or preach anything, that's contrary to your real heart's conception, you can't have faith, because you know that you're doing... you're not just exactly right. You've got to do just exactly the way you think it's right and say just what you know to be the truth. If you don't do that, you can't have faith yourself. And your message will never get to the people, because it can't be anointed; because way down in this little buzzer down here, you're thinking something different than what you're saying up here. And that just won't work. You've got to really be honest.

L-5 And Hebrews, the 10th chapter, that I was referring to last night (See?)...
 For if we sin willfully (See?), after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sin.
And what are we trying to place... (If you can hear me better tonight See?) Those people had a promise of God, Israel. (Can you all hear me now? Raise up your hands, all that can hear me. Good.) Those people was promised of God the promised land. But when they got to the place to take over the promise, they doubted. And then they went back and died in the wilderness, everyone that disbelieved that promise. Is that true? Raise your hand so I can see. Everyone died. There's only two that believed it, Joshua, Caleb. And the only two... that entire two and a half million people they got to go in the land, because they believed it.
