<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>62-0518, Letting Off The Pressure, American Baptist Assembly, Green Lake, WI, 116 min
L-1 Thank you. Let us remain standing just a moment while we pray. How many would like to be remembered tonight in prayer? Would you just let it be known as you lift your hands. Let us bow our heads now as we face Him.
Our heavenly Father, we are asking permission, as we come in the Name of the Lord Jesus, to approach Thy throne of mercy. We would by no means want to stand at the throne of judgment, but at the throne of mercy; for it's in this mercy by His grace that we come, thanking Thee first for--to be alive in here tonight. Oh, how Satan would desire to take us quickly from the scene right in the midst of the battle. But the Angels are encamped about those who fear Him, and we're so thankful for this. And I'm so glad for a fresh experience of knowing the reality of His promise.

L-2 I thank Thee tonight for this gathering of Christian fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God, in this great commonwealth here on earth that we have together in this manner of fellowshipping around the Word, setting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We thank Thee for this Full Gospel Business Men's great,  wide reach and influence with the Gospel among the business people and of all walks of life. And for these precious anointed servants that's here on the platform tonight, and on the grounds; that behind them is a mark of Christianity through years of pressing on, and pressing the battle way up here to the front line. God, we would pray tonight that the Angels of God would take their position now in the midst of us.

L-3 Save those who are not saved. Fill those with the Holy Spirit, and put on the full armor of God to those who are not shod and buckled and--and covered. And we pray that You'll heal the sick and the afflicted. May there rise such a glorious shout over this campground, Lord, that He Who walked on the Sea of Galilee may walk in on the lake tonight and set with us, and deal with us, Lord, each one as we have need. Speak to us through Thy Word, Lord, for truly that's our hope and stand is on Thy Word. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. Thank you.

L-4 Billy, my son, came a bit early for me tonight, and he said to me, "I would sure like to take you down to the grounds." He said, "You've seen many conventions, and we've been a bigger part of the world together, but," said, "this is one of the most peaceful, restful spots that you ever saw, dad."
And I said, "Fine."
He said, "But I'm going to wait till it gets just a little later."
And I said, "What's the matter?"
He said, "Some brethren and I was standing out there on the campus out on the ground," and said, "two big, fat, gray squirrels were setting in the woods." And said, "You'd be chasing them till midnight to get them, so..."
I said, "Oh, Paul."

L-5 It's a privilege to be here tonight. I have so many things to be thankful for: So glad to be alive and to be in the service of the Lord. I certainly am grateful for this wonderful comment that Brother Brown, our precious brother, just paid me a few moments ago. I--I certainly feel little to stand up behind a... I ain't going to call him what I did here on the platform a few moments ago, but certainly was a great title. But he might not like that. So he said that, "You couldn't tell the Pentecostals from the Presbyterian." No, not when Presbyterians become Pentecostals. That's right. That--that makes them all the same.

L-6 And it's certainly, I've marveled over the great message that I heard from Brother Brown, that night, coming through the Lord's channel, His servant. And how he blessed my soul. And to know that God is raising up these kind of men. And I understand that my precious friend, Brother duPlessis, from south Africa is here and has already spoken to you. And I'm sure it was filled with rich vitamins from God's great Kingdom. He brings such a stirring message also.
