<TITLE>24. Par 85-87</TITLE>L-85 And listen, Christians. If ever one time... I--I'll--I charge you before God and the--and the elect Angels, that you do... If any time that you see that I'm doing something wrong, won't you please come tell me? 'Cause I--I--I love you too well to miss you over there. And I know you're going. So, I... You come tell me. If you see me in the wrong any time, something that I do that's not right, something that would put a stumbling block in your way.
Now, there is a lot of times, I get around here and laugh, and cut up, and say things. What am I trying to do? I'm trying to let off some of that wound up feeling in me. You see? Just it isn't that I want to do that. See? It isn't that I want to even laugh or... And to come down here and get with Brother Welch so I can hear him tell a little something another about, oh, the--the little boy--a colored boy out there. And he caught a fish, and the warden caught him, and said he was catching turtle baits. And--and like... Something you know, on that order.

L-86 And the little... When that little preacher told me... I was telling them, the little girls today, about the little poodle dog being Fefe and Fifi. You see? And--and like... What am I doing that for? To--to laugh, make myself laugh, to--to bring myself down.
When you step above this mortal realm up into them realms there, it--it's--it keeps you in a twist, you know what I mean. And then just think, here it is just think. With this ministry, you remember what I am going to have to answer for? Not just for Tifton, Georgia, not for Indiana, not for the United States, but I got to answer before the world for a worldwide ministry. See? I got to answer to the heathens. I got to answer to God for the heathens, rather. See?
And when I get setting at home and think, "Well, I believe--I believe--I believe..." Like the other day up there, and I get so wound up, and I said, "I--I--I'm going on and have another meeting." And I go on and have another meeting. And the first thing you know, I'm so wound up, I--I got to go hunting; I got to go fishing; I got to get out with somebody. I--I got to do something, 'cause I'm just a man, just a human being. You see? And that--that's what... You understand that.

L-87 But if you ever think I get anywhere out of the way with it, you come tell me. I'll stop it, boy, like a clam of... No matter what happens. 'Cause I--I want you to understand; I have no secrets. Everything that I know, you know too. See? All that the Lord has showed me that He will permit me to tell, I've told it. And I hold nothing back. And--and my life is open. You--you--you know what I am and what I'm made out of. And I'm just--try to live every day the same as in--far as I can.
'Course, a lot of times you see me when I'm moody, and I feel bad, and tired, and weary, or something like that. 'Course, I--that goes along with the ministry, you know; you realize that, you... If you look back through the pages of time, you'll see that men that way, did that way. We all get those.
But the thing of it is, we want to understand one another. I realize that you have your ups-and-downs too. I'm not the only one has them. You have them. And when you're having yours, I'll try to understand. When I'm having mine, you try to understand. And when I'm overseas somewhere, or way out in a meeting somewhere, and the devils are everywhere a piling up and challenged me and everything else, why, you all remember, just pray for me. Will you do that?
