L-1-1 Thank you, Brother Neville. The Lord bless you. Good morning. Good morning, friends. Happy to be back in the house of the Lord. I was just called back there a few moments ago to pray for an old minister. And he'd just had a blackout like. Nothing find wrong with him; he's just an old saint of the Lord. On the road down here Satan tried make me sick to vomit too, and I said, "We're just going to have to pray for one another." So it was Brother Coggins; we know him very well here at the Tabernacle. He comes from up in Carolina. And he's been very, very sick, just--just stand and blackout. But don't seem to be one thing wrong with him, not physically; so it's just the devil trying to tempt him. So he's a great tempter, and he's a good one too.
You heard the story about the old sister that went to church, wouldn't say nothing bad about anybody.
"So what do you think about the devil?"
Said, "Well, he's a good adversary!" So that's what he--what he is.

L-1-3 We are happy this morning to be in the house of the Lord again this week, waiting for the coming of the Lord Jesus.
And now, I was going to speak on the subject, this morning, Sheltered by the Blood; and it seemed like that the Holy Spirit kinda changed my mind on that. And I have another subject of teaching, because... Then after... I said last night, "Why would He change my mind on a subject of that type, Sheltered by the Blood?" You understand where the text would be: Israel under the blood, marching to the promise. You see? And I may speak it some other time.

L-1-5 So I remembered in a dream that I had here not long ago, and I--in this dream I was supposed to be storing up food in the Tabernacle (See?), here in this dream. How many remembers it, a few weeks ago, having the dream? I couldn't give you the interpretation of it, and if it won't take me very long, I'll just tell you, if you'd like to hear it now.

L-2-1 It's seldom that I dream anything that's just got any sense to it. It's usually I go to bed late, and then wake up, and be nervous, or tired; you dream, then go to sleep, and dream, then wake up. You know how it is, a nervous person like myself. And I was out with Brother Wood and Brother Sothmann, and the Lord had just been giving people... coming up with... down... And this was at Tucson, Arizona. And the Lord just perfectly in every case, giving dreams interpretations.

L-2-2 Now, you see, when anyone gives--tells me about a dream, the only way I can give the interpretation, I see that dream over. And many of you here know, that some of you telling me things, that you didn't tell me all about it in the dream; but when I got it over again, I got what you didn't tell. See? And so you have to see it over again, and then He tells you. Therefore, sometimes it's cutting; sometimes it's hard, disagreeable to the person; but you must be truthful, because it's the Word of the Lord. See? 'Cause they're expecting That. And It's--It never... The Lord has been good to me to let It always be right.

L-2-3 And so that night I--I went to sleep, and I dreamed myself. And I thought I was... A fellow I used to box with years ago... Many of you old-timers... I was just thinking of Brother Roy Slaughter, standing up there at the door. He been with us, I guess, about one of the oldest members here in the church. Brother Slaughter, I guess, is right around one of the oldest members. And I--I just...
While I'm talking about him, there's many good points about Roy Slaughter that people don't know about. And that's right. He's my brother, and I'd rather give him a little bouquet now or a bud, than a whole wreath when he's gone. That's right. There's many fine points,
Brother Roy's been a real brother to me, him and his family, and live out there, and worked hard for that little family, and raised a fine bunch of children. I knowed all of his girls and his boys, and preached his little boy's funeral when it died.
