<TITLE>24. Par 81-84</TITLE>L-81 We pray for our precious and most noble Brother Neville. And now, as yesterday Satan would try to pull him from the scene, smashing him into that car, and he would try to do something bad, but You was there on the scene. God, he tried to take me the other day down at the rifle range, but You was there on the scene. He tried to take Brother Willard Crase when he slammed into that pole, but You were there on the scene. Oh, it's so good to know You. As the poet once said, "'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take Him at his Word, just to rest upon the promise, just to know 'THUS SAITH THE LORD.'" How we thank Thee for this.
Bless our souls; forgive our sins; heal the sickness, Lord, that dwells among us. We know that these old mortal bodies are feeble and they're rocking under the impact of sickness. And we pray that You'll keep us well to preach the Gospel. Let us live many happy years if Jesus tarries.
And may we all be ready for the rapture, all in the Ark of safety in Christ Jesus by one Spirit, baptized in there, up on the upper floor, where we can see the Light of the Gospel shining in, and punctuate every Word with "Amen." Grant it, Lord. Bless them and keep them. I claim them for jewels for Your crown, Lord, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
 I love Him, I love Him
 Because He first loved me
 And purchased my salvation
 On Calvary's tree.

L-82 Now, as we know, the Word sometime is cutting, but we love It that way. "The Word of God," said Hebrews 4, "is sharper than a two-edged sword." It cuts off everything: two edges, coming and going. And it's also more powerful, more quicker, "cutting even to asunder into the marrow of the bone, and discerns the thoughts and the intents of the heart." What is it? The Word, the Word. See? And now, after we've had a real cutting hard message, did you enjoy it? Yes, sir. The Conflict...
Aren't you glad you're fortified tonight? It builds faith, and strength, and hope to the church. Oh, "On Christ the solid rock I stand; all other grounds is sinking sand."

L-83 Now, let's just worship Him for about two or three minutes, will you? Let's just close our eyes, raise our hands. Sister dear, give us a chord, "I Love Him." Will you, on that? I'll get it.
 I love Him, (Just lose yourself now, worship.)
 Because He first loved me
 And purchased my salvation
 On Calvary's tree.
Now, let's look to one another and shake one another's hands, say...
 I love Him, I love Him
 Because He first loved me
 And purchased my salvation
 On Calvary's tree.

L-84 What was Calvary? His Kadesh-barnea. What did He do? Go up there and said, "Man lives after death. I'll prove it to you." Goes up there to Kadesh-barnea took the judgment of us all: Calvary, died for our sins, and crossed the river of death. On that third day He come back. The stone rolled back down the hill and He walked out alive.
Some of them said, "He's a spirit."
He said, "Feel me. Has a spirit got flesh and bones like I have?" Said, "You got anything to eat?"
They said, "We got some honeycomb bread down here, I guess, and some fish."
Said, "Let's have a piece of it." And He took and eat it, and He said, "You see a spirit don't eat like I eat." He said, "Now, you go up there to Jerusalem, and you start with the Gospel from there. And I'll send back to you the Firstfruits of the--of your resurrection, 'cause I'll lift you up from unbelief from the Word and make you have faith in this and believe. And you'll be above sin and all unbelief."
