<TITLE>07. Par 62-70</TITLE>L-62 We would ask that You would remember all that are sick and afflicted and needy today. For truly the world is in a needy condition, all because that we do not turn to Thee for our defense and our refuge.
How we can think, this morning of the times in the Bible, when the people were in trouble and distress, how that they called up the prophets, and many of the great men in those days thought those prophets to be neurotics and--and nervous people. And, which, they might've been, but yet they had the Word of the Lord. God, today how we need to refer back to the Word of God. They have told us of the end time, and what would be. And let us, like real Christians, look at their--their testimony, and, Father, then give witness to the world. Grant it, Lord.
Heal the sick that's in our midst this morning. For we realize, Lord, that a tired, weary, sick body dragging around, cannot enjoy the blessings of God as they could if they were well. And we realize, as Christians, that we live so far under our privileges, that You do not desire us to be like that, tired and weary, and run-down and weakening. You desire us to be filled with the Spirit of God. Grant that to us, Lord, as we wait further for Your Message. In Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen.

L-65 Now, if you will again turn in the Word to St. John 3. I wish to read a few verses out of St. John the 3rd chapter, beginning with the 31st verse, about three verses of this, to get a little context of what I wish to say. This is Jesus speaking, St. John 3:31. And listen close to His Word.
He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.
And what he has seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receives his testimony.
He that has received his testimony has set to his seal that God is true.
I wish to read that 33rd verse again, to put emphasis on that 33rd verse.
He that has received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
For a text this morning, if you'd... I want to use this, "The Testimony Of A True Witness." Testimony and witness, that's the reason I read the two different Scriptures, one of testimony and the other of a witness.

L-68 Now, a testimony... Before... A person has to have an experience before they can testify. If you were called in court, you'd have to--as a--give a testimony, you have to know something before you can testify. And a witness is a person who has seen something, that knows that it is the truth, and they're called to give witness. And then, a witness must know what he's talking about. He must be not, "Someone told me a certain-certain thing." He must be the witness himself. If not, he's speaking of someone else that could be a witness at the scene.

L-70 Now, I think that, being that we see out from our congregation, that life is so fragile, then that death is so positive, we need to come to a place that we are positive sure that this that we speak of is right. See? It is not nothing that you can just haphazardly, as we would say, accept it. You've got to be positive sure that it's right, because we do not know what kind of an end that we will come to.
