<TITLE>04. Par 25-31</TITLE>L-25 There's a big split in the churches, the Pentecostal churches. And if you go to one side, the other won't have anything to do with it. And they won't cooperate together, so I've just stood back now for about five years with a call in my heart to go. And now, maybe if the Business Men will take me in, just enough to get established, that's from both sides (You see?), and so that makes them all come to tall. They all have to come to cooperate in that because the financial needs of their--needs of their churches is there, so they have to come to save their face. You see? So maybe it might be the will of the Lord; however, I don't know. It sounds good, but I don't know.

L-26 And then, in this year, Brother Borders give me the itinerary or the invitations. And honestly, it was a book two times that thick that's come in since last Christmas of invitations around. It's too much for a human mind to try to solve it out, so I didn't take any of them. I'm just going to take one meeting, and wait and see where the Lord tells me to go from there, then I'll go next, and then next, and wherever He tells me to go. So you pray for me.
I remember last year, down at Brother or Sister Cox's down there, when Brother Arganbright called me to go on this trip up to Anchorage. What if I would've went on that just by presuming that it was all right?
Now, I was thinking that, presuming, I preached on the subject of that. I said when I went out there, told the tape boys, "Don't take no tapes. Don't go out for no tapes; I'm going to preach on the same subjects I did here." I think I preached one that I did here, the rest of them was all new ones. And Brother Maguire got them all though.

L-29 Presuming... So if I'd have went, presuming up there, it would've sure been different than what it turned out, the vision wouldn't have been fulfilled. But the vision was fulfilled, and you all are aware of that, how the Lord did bless.
Now, there's another thing that's been on my heart a long time. Church, pray for it. All you people here knows that since I've been a little boy I've never been satisfied in this country. All my heart has always longed for the west. And I remember when I was mowing the grass for my mother-in-law up there in the little place that was the--belonged in to the church here, that the place... I was setting on the steps, and the Holy Spirit spoke to me, He said, "I cannot further bless you until you fully obey Me, like Abraham." See? And Abraham, God told him to separate himself and go to himself. And when he did, he took along with him his father and his nephew. And until Abraham completely obeyed God, then there was a complete fulfillment of what God promised him. And I--the tie, one of the main ties that bound me here was my mother. You know that. And now mother has gone to be with the Lord Jesus. And I--I don't know which way to turn, what to do, so you pray for me.

L-31 Now, Brother Neville, I walked out on the platform; I thought, "Well, I'll go out there." Someone met me and said, "My, they got a great lot of service tonight." Said, "They're going to have preaching service, song service, prayer service, and then take up the collections, and then said they got a--got a foot-wash, communion, and baptismal service."
I thought, "Poor brother. My. My, all of that, I know what that is, probably after preaching hard this morning. Now, I thought, "I'll slip up there; maybe he'll want me to give communion."
And he said, "Would you speak for us tonight if you feel led?" So I know what that means; so then I went back and got a Scripture here and got a few notes, and maybe the Lord will help me to deliver just a short message of about four hours, and then we'll have our--our feet-washing, and then the communion. And--and, oh, I, maybe I'll get done before then. No, I was just teasing you. About twenty, thirty minutes, and then we'll have the baptismal feet... What follows this, communion? Communion follows this, then baptismal service.
