<TITLE>28. Par 263-264</TITLE>L-263 Grant it, O Lord. Then the vision will come to the foreign fields and to wherever we shall go. The sick will be healed. The dead will be raised. And there'll not be a fallout shelter that we'll need. There'll be a hand of God. For as I said at the beginning of the message, Father, as that leaf's life goes back to the root where it come from and wait for another season, we know that we're nearing another season. We can feel the changing of the atmosphere, the spiritual atmosphere. That day's about ready to break. And we'll wake in that greater millennium, "For we which are alive and remain shall not hinder them which are asleep. For we say this by the commandment of the Lord, that the trumpet shall sound and the dead in Christ shall rise and we shall be changed in a moment in a twinkling of an eye". When that Son of God begins... the Son of Life. You can no more hide a--a germ of life from the sun, that's botany life, it'll find it's way out from under concrete. It'll find it's way out from under boards. It'll come from anywhere when the sun begins to shine. No more can you hide life when Eternal Life comes, when Jesus Who has Eternal Life, and the Giver of Eternal Life.
Lord Jesus, when You come these old frail bodies will be changed in a moment, and the dead in Christ shall rise. And we shall be in that millennium, that next great season that's coming on; that Eternal season. Change us now Lord, and fashion us, so that we can be citizens of that Kingdom.
I commit myself Lord, with what life I have left. I don't know how much longer You're going to leave us here, Lord. None of us know. The young might say, "I'm young"; but how do we know, they may be gone before night. The old might say that, "I'm going right quick." But they might out live the young. It's all in Your hands, Lord. But what we are, we give to You: my soul, my strength, my heart, my all. We dedicate ourselves, Lord, on the altar. Not on this little earthly altar here Lord, but on that real Altar, Where we're all leaning against this morning; weeping with our tears. we lay on that Eternal Altar, and ask You to take us, and mold us, and fashion us after Your way. And make us witnesses, and may they never forget this morning, the message of "The True Witness."
We have witnesses that we have the best atomic bombs. We have witnesses we have the machine age, and mechanical age. But Lord, the Kingdom that's coming, there'll be no jet planes, there'll be no automobiles, there'll be none of these atomic bombs. It'll be a Kingdom of peace, love, joy and life. We live for Him.
Grant these things Father, as we commit it to You, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-264 I would like to ask this question, before I leave. You believe this to be the truth? How many is a witness of the Holy Ghost? How many would like to witness the Holy Ghost? May the God Who wrote these words, may He grant to you, my brother and sister, that you'll never have any more peace on this earth, until that Holy Ghost fills you. For whether you be church member: pleasant, good, kind, truthful, honest; you may be all of that, and you're a million miles from God.
Jesus said, "Father, I do not pray for the world, but I pray for these that Thou has given Me; and all that will come by them. That they may behold the Glory that I had with You, before the foundation of the world."
Then if you come by this ministry, if you come by a church, He never prayed for you. If He... you come by organization, He... His prayer means nothing to you. But if you come by the witness that the apostles had, and of the Holy Ghost, His prayer is... and you know His prayer's going to be answered. That's right. That we will share someday, His Glory, of seeing Him in the Glory that He had before the foundation of the world.
