<TITLE>03. Par 18-26</TITLE>L-18 I'm so grateful for you people. I can't... That--that's so little to--to just say, "Well, I'm grateful for you." But I pray for you. I believe in you. I believe in your experiences of God. I don't believe that a man or woman would drive hundreds and hundreds of miles to come here to show what kind of clothes they were wearing. I--I don't think they would do that. No. They wouldn't come here just to be seen. They're coming here because they're deeply and in sincerity for the salvation of their souls. My prayer is: "God, help me, help me to just be at least half that sincere to try to minister to them with all that's in my heart and looking to God."

L-19 The message you see this morning, it's drawed out here on the blackboard here. It's just merely to make--to explain as I go along--to try to make that you might understand what I'm trying to speak of.
And this Seventy Weeks of Daniel has been one great study: two days and two nights, almost I've been, since the end of the week here I've been on it, trying to find what words to say for truth. It's got to compare with the rest the Bible. See? You just can't take it, just one little Scripture and make a--an understanding, and then say, "Well, this is what this says," and then turn around and say, "Well, but over here It--It says something else, contradicts this." It can't do that. It's got to say the same thing all the time. If you don't, why then--then you're--you're wrong. And that's the way I've tried to teach it.

L-21 By the way, on the tapes--being it's on the tapes... The greatest criticism I have on tapes, of my brethren out in the different parts of the world, is believing in the grace of God--that I teach the way I do--that we were predestinated before the beginning of the world.
My Pentecostal brethren, of course I know that your views are legalist (See?), and I--I know it's a little upsetting to your views, but would you as a Christian brother, would you just give it enough consideration to get on your knees before God with your Bible and ask God to explain it to you? Would you do that? Would you take the legalistic point and try to make it connect from Genesis to Revelation?

L-23 And the seed of the serpent, that's the killer. Many people don't believe that. But if you'll just read in Genesis, the Bible said that the serpent had a seed, "And I'll put enmity between the serpent's seed and the woman's Seed." So the serpent had a seed. And if the serpent's seed was spiritual, then Jesus was not a man, so the woman's Seed was spiritual. They both had seeds, and the enmity is still there. The serpent had a seed. And if you'll just take your Bible and get down and be real reverent before God, I believe God will reveal it to you.
And if you do not understand it, I'm--I'm available any time to do my very best to help you by letter, or by--or by personal interview, or anything that I could do to help you. 'Course we realize that that doesn't save a man, neither does it condemn a man, but it only brings light upon the subject that we're all trying so hard to get the people to see. It only brings light.
Now, to the audience that's visible, I said this because the tapes. You see? And these tapes go all--everywhere.

L-26 Now, let us bow our heads just a moment before we approach the Author of this Word. And how many in the audience this morning is needy? Just saying, "I'm needy; oh, God, be merciful to me." The Lord bless. And to those who will hear the tape, when you hear it, may God grant your request.
