<TITLE>04. Par 14-17</TITLE>L-14 Heavenly Father, let the Holy Spirit now speak to us in these next few words. God, I pray that there'll not be one missing at the day of the judgment, that we'll all be there, and all be covered with the Blood of the Son of God. Forgive us of our trespasses. We hear You say one time when You was teaching us to pray, and You come to the spot, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Then You stopped and said, "If you from your heart don't forgive every man his trespass, neither does your heavenly Father forgive you." So we see the place we're in.
God, I hope to live to see the day that I can see the church of the living God all lined up as one great army of Christ, all covered by the Blood, every sister and brother a saint, marching forward in the power of the Word of God. You said You would restore all that the cankerworms, and locusts, and caterpillars had eat up. I believe You will do it, Lord. I'm holding forth that You do it, and I hope to see it in my age. If not, I'll sow the Seed of Your Word. And then when the Holy Spirit falls, It'll... We know the righteous--the rain falls on righteous and unrighteous. The same rain that waters the wheat waters the weeds.
But, Father God, let us in our lifetime sow nothing but the genuine Seed of God. Therefore, when the Spirit comes and falls upon It, may it bring forth a reproduction of Jesus Christ, being a son or daughter of Christ. I ask in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-15 God richly bless you all. My blessing's with you, my peace upon you. And I don't... I hope and trust that someday in a more... If no more in this land, in that land that is to come when we're called to face Christ, that the trumpet sounds, the dead in Christ shall rise, that together one great unit we'll go to meet Him.
I want to speak just for... I got a watch here that I can set and make it exactly thirty minutes, and--and that'll be just exactly ten o'clock. And if God willing, I'll get through right then. Just for a moment of your time, if you'll spare it, just a little bit...

L-16 Now, tomorrow afternoon, to you people out of Chicago, bring out your sick and afflicted. Tomorrow afternoon at the Mather there's going to be a healing service. That's all right, Brother Carlson, isn't it? I asked Brother Joseph if it'd be all right, and he was sure it would be, so that's all right. And then Monday is the missionary rally for Brother Joseph, this kind little fellow that we all love.
Just speaking to a brother here that... I believe he'd taken me over to Brother Aegery that time--Aegery--when I got such a sharp letter from him, and the Lord gave us that great words. And I think maybe forty or more received the Holy Ghost out there at a Lutheran college. Could you imagine that? But when he come to... He thought it was a soothsayer polished up something. But when he was honest enough to set down by the Word of God, then it come to him. And that made a difference.

L-17 Now, I'm going to read out of St. John, the 1st chapter of... not St. John, pardon me, of I John, 1st chapter, 1:7. Let's all read this verse.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin.
I want to speak just a moment on the thought of "Fellowship." At this being a convention, we all know that a convention is a fellowship time. And we have... I like fellowship. I love to come to a fellowship meeting where we can have fellowship.
(And if you'll excuse me, after reading my text, that I--I make a remark to a brother setting here, Brother Tommy Nichols. I'm so glad when you printed that article or--or in the--your Business Men's "Voice" about the vision of going to heaven, you put it just exactly the way it was. Thank you, Brother Tommy. God bless you for that.)
