<TITLE>18. Par -</TITLE>L-767-113 And so, you see, and then maybe in that day even it'll be growing greater, if there is a tomorrow. But while there is a today, let's work while it's day. Tomorrow may never come. If it does, let's be ready for it. See what I mean? Now, that's what I would think to you.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to see Brother, up there from Utica, Brother Crase, all you other brethren here come together, meet, come into a place, you ministers set together and discuss things. You've got to have fellowship somewhere. You've got to have something to come together to kinda get together about. You all come together as a group of men and believe one with the other and like that, and discuss these problems and set out, maybe once a month, just ministers alone. Let you meet somewhere in one of your churches. Set there and discuss it and talk it, each one of you pastors, and evangelists, and whatever you are. And then if some great problem comes up you can't settle, then if I'm called on the field of evangelism... I don't know that I will be, and if I will be, you know I'll be coming back constantly all the time. And then if you get those things then, when I come back here, why, we'll meet together and just set down there. If one of you has a calling in your life. We won't have like private interviews and things we've been having, we'll just come right together and stay there till we have THUS SAITH THE LORD.

L-768-115 And if you can get the preachers straight and him going right, look what he's going to do. He's going to influence a... It would take care of a hundreds of these things. That's it; we're just beating at it, you see? You've got to get it a system, God's system.
Like Jethro said to Moses, "Why, you can't beat out all of them." Or... And God put elders out there, seventy of them, and took the Spirit was on Moses and put them upon those seventy elders and they prophesied, and it didn't weaken Moses a bit. It strengthened him. He had just as much prophecy in him as he did 'fore they took the Spirit off of him to prophesy. See? He just separated, said, "Now, Moses, let them judge the smaller things and, but when it comes to the major things, you come in with them and help them like that."
Now, that's the way. That was God's way back there, that was God's way in the--in the early church age, and I believe it's God's way now (That's right.) for us to do it. So, let's do it. Just quit talking about it and do it. That's all. We can do it by the grace of God. Don't you believe it?

L-769-118 Now, let... Now, let's see. Oh, I've done took my time up, but a... Billy wrote a note here. Just a minute, I'll see what it is. "I'm from New Albany... daughter, Grace Memorial Hospital... broke her arm... wants prayer for her... T-r-o-u-b, W. C. Troub--Troub" (something like that). Let's have prayer for this young lady.
Our heavenly Father, as we're speaking now, and I'm thinking that maybe when Irenaeus looked out upon his little group of men, it perhaps is a lot smaller group than's here tonight. And they didn't have a seat to set in. They set on old cold slabs of rock, and they set there and he talked to them. Those men went out, even when to go, they knowed they could be fed to lions, their heads chopped off. But the "faith of our fathers are living still in spite of dungeon, flame, and sword."
I thank You for these men, Lord. I pray that You'll bless them. And I bless each of them in Thy Name, that You will keep them in the faith that was once delivered to the saints, that never will they vary from that. And out of this group may You send pastors, teachers, evangelists. Oh, God, grant it. And may they hold the fort everywhere, wherever they are. May they continually work until Jesus comes.
