<TITLE>05. Par -</TITLE>L-8-1 I want to take a text (if it would be called a text) out of there from that, to draw this conclusion of "The Greatest Battle Ever Fought." That's what I want to use for a text.

L-8-2 Now, how I come to get a hold of this for a text for this morning, we have just come back. Couple of the trustees here at the church and myself was out in Arizona. And we went out really to have a meeting at Phoenix with Brother Sharritt at his tabernacle. But when I found out that a--a brother was in town having services in a tent, well then, I felt little reluctant about holding a meeting. I thought maybe I would have it on the Sunday afternoon, so that no one would be bothered in their churches; but find out that he had Sunday afternoon services also. And I was a--a little bit worried about having a service, and so we brethren, instead of going on through the day (as we were out hunting), we went into the city on--and got ready and went to the--Brother Allen's services. (Brother A. A. Allen was having services.) So we went to the services, and Brother Allen preached a mighty sermon. We had a--a time, a good time listening to Brother Allen, hearing the--the singers, and so forth, how they sang, and shouted, and had a great service.

L-8-3 And then, we seen all along the road the hand of the Lord. Wherever we went the Lord Jesus would meet with us. And there's something about being out to yourself, out in the deserts. There's something about it that if you're ever alone that way, there's something that draws you. That's I guess is one reason I like those out-away places. You get away from the power of the enemy.

L-8-4 So much as we have here, a devil is almost harmless unless he can have something to work in. He's got... You remember those devils that were cast out of Legion? They had--they want to do more mischievousness, so they wanted to go in the hogs. So devils must have something to work in, somebody to work through. And that's the way God does too. He has to have us; He's depending on us to work through us.

L-8-5 And many came while we were on the trip with dreams, and the Lord Jesus never failed but give the interpretation correctly and just be that--just exactly that way.
And then He was good to us to lead us to the game, and tell us where it was at, and, you know, just to be around like that; it's just wonderful. Set around the night by the campfire away from everybody for miles, and miles, and miles, and watch the--the flickering campfire around the rocky rims, and oh, it was tremendous.

L-9-1 One brother there who had been having trouble with a--his wife that had... Years ago she raised her head in a meeting where that I was having service, and I'd asked them to keep their head down. I had an evil spirit that wouldn't leave a--a woman on the platform, and the lady just irreverent raised her head anyhow. And the spirit left the woman on the platform and went to her, and this was around fourteen years. And the lady has been in serious condition; so much, even mentally, till she just does things that's not even right. For instance, left her own husband and went and married another man while she was living with her husband; claimed she didn't know she'd done it.
