<TITLE>33. Par 251-255</TITLE>L-251 That's all I know to go by, Lord, it's Your Word. Then, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I give You these that's raised their hands, as trophies of Your Word. Keep them, O Lord God, no one can pluck them from Your hand. Give them Eternal Life. May they find a church, or stay right here this morning, and be baptized for the remission of their sins, or confession of their faith. May they, when they come up out of the water, like the Holy Spirit in the beginning moved upon the water, may the Holy Spirit be there to fill their hearts and souls. Grant it, Lord. May they live godly all the days of their life, and be presented as trophies and gems in Your crown at that day. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, we ask it. Amen.

L-252 The Lord bless you. Now, I really should've been gone an hour ago. But now, we're going to call a prayer line...?... Wait, is there any prayer cards out? Has anybody got prayer cards? Where is Billy, is Billy around? One to fifty? He said he give out fifty prayer cards. Well now, we can't; there's too many standing. Now, will you all give us just a few moments time now? If you... Now, what all I said... Now, just--just a moment; I know the dinner won't scorch. Wait a minute, this is more--this is better than dinner. It should be, the Word.

L-253 Listen friends, I want to ask you this question before I say this. What do we go to church for? What's it all about? If there is no resurrection of the dead, if--if there is no resurrection, then let's eat, drink, and be merry, for we're nothing but logs, dogs, and so forth anyhow. We don't believe that. We know that there's a living God. Certainly. Well, if He's a living God, I want to ask you something. Then these Words that I said... You might agree with me; you might not agree with me. But if you do agree with me, then yet, you--you could question that until you see it manifested. That's right. If it's God's Word, God has to keep His Word. If He doesn't keep It, well, then it isn't God, then I--I've been a false, I been a... I made a false manifestation; I--I've been a false prophet. But if God said so, God keeps His Word. Then if God keeps His Word, one Word, you can be perseverant then. You can hold onto your promise and keep it. Is that right?

L-254 Now, look, did I tell you I could heal you? No, sir. I couldn't tell you I could save you no more than you were saved then. I believe you're saved. You couldn't a-raised your hand without God telling you to. Now, there's water here, that you can be baptized any time you wish to. If you want to be baptized by your--in your own church, go right ahead, whatever. We don't have membership here at all (See?); we just--we're just a chapel here. Our good pastor here, Brother Neville, was a Methodist, and he's here just... We're interdenomination. We get... Anybody's welcome. We just have congregation comes in. We preach, pray for the sick. We believe in making disciples to Christ, not organizing nothing. See? We don't believe in that. No, sir.
Now, you that want to organ... You want your organization, go right ahead. That's--that's perfectly all right, but don't you depend on it. Don't you trust in it. No, sir. You go there for fellowship, but you trust in God. See?

L-255 Now, now, here's one thing. If Christ still lives... Now, let's take one little Scripture again now. We want to be sure now that it's all clear. A little thing I was going to say awhile ago, He said, "A wicked and adulterous generation would--would get a sign." That was the sign of Jonah, the resurrection. Is that right? How many believes that's the Truth? Now, I just want to... That wicked... Do you believe this is a wicked, adulterous generation? Well, what would be the sign of Jonah? Would be the resurrection of Christ. Is that right? The resurrection of Christ, to prove to this wicked generation that Christ still lives, which, He's been raised now for two thousand years, so it'd be the evidence of the resurrection.
