<TITLE>26. Par 248-254</TITLE>L-248 Have mercy upon us. Forgive us of our sins. Grant it, Lord. Fill us with the Holy Spirit. May we just not be satisfied, Lord, with joining church and trying to be a Christian, being some self effort, some way to try to manufacture something, saying, "Now, I'm... I joined church, and the people going to expect me to be a Christian. And now I'm not have to do this and not have to do that no more, because I'm a Christian." O God, may we get away from that Pharisee condition, God, that bunch of hypocrites. O God, somehow let the Holy Spirit speak what I mean, Lord. I can't find words to say it. We don't want to be self-made Pharisees.
God, fill us with our--with Deity. Fill us with power and energy until our souls are aflame, that our strength will be Him, our testimony will be God, our words will be His. Devils will tremble. The world will shake and rock under the impact of it, Lord. If You can only find people who are willing to wait upon the Lord.
They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength,
They shall mount up like wings of an eagle,
They'll run and not be weary, they'll walk and not faint;
Oh, teach me, Lord, teach me, Lord, to wait.
Teach me to wait when hearts are aflame, (Great revival that's going through the land, saying they're having thousands and thousands, and so forth, Lord; great flowerly things.)
Let me humble my pride, call on Your Name;
Keep my faith renewed, my eyes on Thee,
Let me be on this earth what You want me to be, Lord.

L-251 May we consecrate our little frail boats this morning, this little tabernacle of shameful flesh that we think so much of, to work so many days to keep it a comfortable place, and we live in fine homes and nice cars... And, O God, and then we get our eyes on that, and off of this great re--ransom. O God, let us lay aside these frail little things to know that we leave them here on earth. Let us seek that heavenly Treasure, that Holy Spirit, that true Witness of God.
Success never bears witness of God. The Spirit bears witness of God. Whether our denominations grow, or whether our church grows, or whether we have very many members, or whether we dress good, or drive good cars, or eat good food, what difference does that make? We must leave it. What good would that have done my own mother the other day, struggling along there? And I realize, Lord, those things count nothing.
And may our eyes be fixed on Jesus, on the Holy Spirit, and let Him come into our hearts and be witnesses. May we be His witness, Lord. May we stand in that condition, Father, and bear witness.

L-254 Laying upon this pulpit this morning, lays handsful of handkerchiefs, coming from sick and afflicted. God, let the God that--that give me this message yesterday, let the God that spoke through Brother Higginbotham this morning and predicted It was coming, let the God Who shows the visions, speak.
I defy every devil and take this mountain by faith. Who are you, great mountain of sickness, that would stand before the Lord? Why, you'll become as a plain. Who are you, river or--or dead sea, that would stand anything dead before God? Open up your way, we're coming over. We're going to the promised land.
Heal every one of these, Lord. Heal every one that's setting present that's sick.
Who are you, sickness, who do you think you are? Satan, who do you claim to be? Every claim that you have was canceled at Calvary. You're a bluff. You have no rights. We defy you, in the Name of Jesus Christ as a Holy Ghost filled body. And let the God that has guided me through my life, the God Who gives the visions and speaks His Words that comes to pass, let Him, through the Name of Jesus Christ, drive every sickness away from this people this morning.
You said, "Speak, and don't doubt, but believe that what you've said will come to pass, you can have what you said." Who did that? The Witness of God said That. And I bear witness this morning that that Word's true, Satan, so you have to leave.
