<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>62-0123, Forsaking All, Full Gospel Church, Tempe, AZ, 120 min
L-1 May be seated. I want to say good evening to all. So happy to be here tonight. Just deem this such a grand privilege to be here, this lovely new church to worship the Lord. We've been looking forward to this coming out here for some time, for a time of fellowship with the people and enjoy the blessings--and trust that we'll be a blessing to you people. And as the week is begin to go on now, and there--we know the convention's coming up now, beginning Thursday...
And I just heard this afternoon by Brother Williams that we have a grand surprise for Thursday night. Brother Oral Roberts is going to be with us to speak Wednesday night. That'll certainly be a grand surprise to all of us, because Brother Oral is certainly a forceful speaker. And it'd be good to get to see him myself again, shake his hand.

L-2 And we was last night at Tempe (at the Assembly of God, I believe it was, up there). And--and we certainly had a wonderful time last night at Tempe. And we've been having a good time in every church that we've been visiting here in the Phoenix area, and also up in Tempe. And we just appreciate these things so much that we can hardly express it.
Very seldom I get a chance to do this, just come in for a night in each church and speak to the people and the minister brothers. And it gives me a little opportunity to get to express my appreciation of these people, these different denominations, and groups of people, because it's a... They are great sponsors out on the field, in the foreign fields, and everywhere, and this way I can kinda get a little chance to express how I feel about them, in appreciation.

L-3 And we've been with the independents, and I believe Church of God, Assemblies, and every--every one; and overseas, the Foursquare, Church of God, Assembly of God, and the Jesus' Name, and all of them. They just all seem to be one when we come together to have a meeting over there on the battlefield. And you know, here at home there may be ideas that we might different in, but when it comes in the battlefield, why, there's no differences then. See?
I was raised in a large family. There was ten of the children. And we boys would get in the backyard, and we would fight one another, oh, my. Nine boys, one girl, and we would really fight. But no one better not pick on one of us out in the front yard, 'cause if he picked on one, they had--Branhams was coming from everywhere. So I think that's the way it is with God's children, the church.

L-4 Here some years ago I was in Houston, and we were having a great meeting. And over with... I had several sponsors there: Brother Raymond Richey, and--and the Assemblies of God, and the--and the Jesus' Name people, and all the different ones. And we were having a great meeting. And we were at the Music House. Well, we'd seat about eight thousand, I guess.
And there was a--a Baptist minister who wanted to challenge me in a debate on the Bible, that Divine healing wasn't right. Well, I've been through so much of that. Why lose a night on one unbeliever, when there's thousands setting there to be prayed for? You see? So then, he placed it in the paper that I was afraid to do it. And old Brother Bosworth, that's nearly eighty years old, he said, "Oh, let me do it." And I thought of Caleb, you know, "Let me take this mountain."
