<TITLE>36. Par -</TITLE>L-59-2 Sarah said, "Abraham..."
"Shut up, Sarah. (Hallelujah.) Stand right here. This is where God placed me; right here's where I stand. Here's where God placed me."
All hail the power of Jesus' Name!
Let Angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other grounds is sinking sand.
Even death itself, everything else is sinking sand. "On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand..." The royal seed of Abraham, the royal seed.

L-59-5 Why, England's most selected army is the royalty of England, royal blood, everything. And the royal seed of Christ is a Holy Ghost-filled church, filled with the Holy Ghost. What? Royal seed by the promise, not by sensations, but by the promise of God. They stand by the Word of God and chop their way through, screaming, "Hallelujah."
Even death comes and says, "It's coming up your sleeve.
Say, "Give away, Jordan, I'm crossing over." Cut your way right on through to the promised land. Amen.

L-59-7 What happens? When the battle is all over (I'm closing now, sure enough), when the battle is all over, and the saints come marching home... I want to ask you something. What happened--what happened when Hitler went into France? Why, they said you couldn't even see the skies for all the planes. The Germans goose-stepped (See?) just standing--passing him by, celebrating a victory.
When Stalin came to Russia, for miles behind, each tank just a little behind the other, just bombarded Berlin till there wasn't nothing left of it. That's all. And when they went and these Germans--these Russian soldiers celebrating, they went in with that, you know, that little funny thing they do. I seen it on a picture one time in London, how they come in (the actual picture of the thing where--what's happened)--come in celebrating. Oh, my. When we heard that the war was over, we scream, we blowed whistles. When the heroes come back, we met them up there; they screamed and hollered.

L-60-2 I had a cousin, was in there, said when he come back, all the old--the veterans had been scarred up so bad they couldn't get out of the bed; so they just rolled them up on top of the ship when they come in, to see the Statue of Liberty standing up. Said, "Them great big men, standing there, they just cry and fall right over, like that, when they seen that Statue of Liberty." Been away from home for four years fighting, battle-shocked and everything else, but they knowed that wife, and sweetheart, and mother, and dad, and children, and all that they loved was right behind that Statue of Liberty; it represented what they'd been fighting for. Oh, the whistles blowed, and New York went into a scream (That's all.) when their heroes come marching in. That'll be a minor thing.

L-60-3 One time when Caesar, after a great battle, he said, "I want my most famous warrior to ride by me in this great celebration of triumph over our enemy." And every one of the officers trimmed their plumes, and shined their shields, and marched by (you know, like that) as--as real soldiers like that. After while, a little old fellow come by, cut? My, he just kinda looked up and started on like that. Caesar said, "Wait a minute; wait a minute. You (not even dressed like a--an officer)" said, "come here." Said, "Where'd you get them scars at?"
Said, "Out on the battlefield."
Said, "Climb up here; you're the guy I want to set by me." Why? He showed that he'd been in battle.
Oh, God have mercy on a man that can cut his hand on a sardine can and get a citation. I want to be battle scarred. Paul said, "I bear in my body the marks of Jesus Christ." That's why I want to battle on the field.
