<TITLE>22. Par 85-87</TITLE>L-85 Then the first thing you know, here come little Sarah, sister, little black-eyed thing about this high, wearing Becky's hand-me-downs. I don't know whether your children do that or not: pajamas with the feet on them way too big. And here she come, falling over everything as she got to the door.
And Rebekah looked around to her, and she said, "Sarah, my sister," said, "I want you to know that I was here first," just like some of the big long organization churches. See? "I was here first. And I have all of daddy, and there's no room for you at all." That's the way they try to say it, but it don't work right.
Poor little Sarah dropped her little head. And I seen her little lips start quivering, great big tears come in her eyes. I looked around at her like that and motioned my finger, stuck this other leg out. Here she come.

L-86 And she jumped right up on that leg. And she was just a young church, you know, like she was topsy turvy. She couldn't hold up very good, you know; she didn't know all the theologies and things that you are supposed to know, you know, and all this about it. So... But anyhow, she was setting on my leg. And when I seen the little fellow was going to--was going to fall so I just reached out with both arms and grabbed her like this and hugged her.
She nestled up against my breast for a little bit, and she turned around. Those big brown eyes looked up to Rebekah, and she said, "Rebekah, my sister," and she said, "I want you to know something too...?... It may be that you have got all of daddy, but I want you to know, daddy's got all of me."
That's the way I believe it. I might not know all the--the theology I should know, and I might not be from way long ago and a long seminary experience. But just as long as I know He's got all of me wrapped up in His arms and He can use me, that's all I care to know. Just so that I know that He's got all of me, that's all I care for. If He's got all of me then that's all I care about.
Isn't that just about the way you feel too? As long as He has all of me. Let's bow our heads.

L-87 Our heavenly Father, it is written in the Scripture, "It wasn't so from the beginning." So I, in this rude little way of bringing it, Lord, I've tried to sow a seed here in the hearts of these dear precious people who are real, real Christians. But I am trying to place to them, Lord; don't never be mixed up in some kind of a man-made affair. Go back to the beginning, go back to Pentecost. That's the first Christian church.
At the day of Pentecost it was inaugurated, and Peter preached the Baccalaureate sermon, said, "You men of Judaea, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known unto you, and hearken unto my words. These are not drunken as you suppose."
O God, get Your church spiritually drunk till they'll forget all about the things of the world and the cares of life, and just fall in love with You, and serve You. Get hearts surrendered in Your hand--arms, Lord. Grant it. Save the lost; be merciful to the dying.
Heal the sick. We're taught in the Bible that when You were here on earth, You showed them the Messiahic sign when You showed--told Peter who he was, when You told the Samaritan woman, "Go, get your husband," when the woman touched Your garment and went out and set down in the audience, when You knew it was Zacchaeus in the tree. When the blind Bartimaeus, impossible for him to hear Your voice, or You to hear his voice with all that crying and going on, but He touched You and You stopped.
And the woman that touched Your garment, You turned around and looked through the audience till You found her and told her, "Thy faith has saved thee."
