<TITLE>08. Par -</TITLE>L-11-5 Lord, as mortals, we know we don't have too much more time to talk. When I look out over this little hungry-hearted bunch of pilgrims, that's come from the field, from farming, some of them has come from the public works, from working; and some of them drove across the mountains, the deserts, and the fields, and swamps, and gather here, and then have to stand up; but they are pilgrims. They don't belong to this world; they're only here as testimonies, as lights that's set on a hill, that gives Light in the community where they're living. And then when they come together to be rededicated and charged with the Word, they stand, they cramp in their limbs, and the--the old and the young alike.
And they love You, Lord; that's why they're here. Anyone knows that a person wouldn't come, and drive for miles, and stand along walls, and leaning, and legs a-cramping just to be seen.

L-12-2 And with this bunch, Lord, we're--we're poor people. We don't come in dainty dress; we come here to worship You. One purpose in our heart, one objective, and one motive; that's You, Lord. I pray, God, that You'll richly will reward them. May there not be a one pass through these doors today but what will have Eternal Life. Then the toils of the road will seem nothing, when we get to the end of the way.
If they're sick, heal them, Lord. And now, we've just spoke of other meetings, Lord, without a definitely knowing that I'm going, if it be Your will, just scattering the seeds. They'll come up if they fall on the right ground, and I pray, Lord, that You'll direct them to that right ground.

L-12-4 Laying on the platform--or the pulpit I should said, here this morning is handkerchiefs, little parcels; it means that people are sick and needy. O God of heaven, Who raised up Christ from the dead, and has presented Him to us in this last day in the form of the Holy Ghost, may He, Who is omnipresent look down, omniscient--knows all things, omnipotent--all powerful, watch over these little parcels; and may they, when they touch the sick and the afflicted, may the Holy Spirit quicken that prayer to the ears of God, and may they be healed immediately.
Lord, think of that poor little woman; I just quoted her testimony: out there in Kansas today, happy, not a pain; no doctor can find anything wrong with her, no more pains, no more tranquilizers, no more sleeping pills, sleeps good and sound; everything's all right, Oh, Lord, truly when You come, everything's all right then. We thank You for that.
Now, Father, as we turn to the Word, bless Thy Word; may It not return to Thee void, but may It accomplish that which It has been purposed for and dedicated to. In Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen.

L-13-2 Now, can you hear all right, everybody? Back in the back, it's all right? Which is the best? If I talk like this or talk like this? Over here? This side over here's better? Is that better for you all back there? All right, I'll pull this around here just a little closer then.
Last Sundays, a week, I--I was a little late. I had a--quite a lengthy service. I don't like to be that way. And now, once in a while (it won't bother me a bit), if someone setting down, sees those standing up, would like to swap places with them a little while and rest them; it'd be a very fine Christian act. And now, now, maybe by the--by this Easter we may have another place to hold the--the--the main service.

L-13-4 Now, we want to turn this morning... All you soldiers get your--your Sword now, and we're going to declare war on the enemy. We used to sing a little song, you know:
The fight is on, O Christian soldier,
Face to face in stern array, (You've heard the song.)
Armors gleaming, colors streaming,
The right and wrong's engaged today! (See? That's right.)
The fight is on, but be not weary;
Be strong, and in His might hold fast;
If God be for us, His banner o'er us,
We'll sing the victor's song at last! (That's right.)
