<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 The trouble of it, with we people, we're in too much of a hurry. It's just got to be done right now, can't come back no more. See? And when you get that in your mind (See?), that--you're going to lose right there. You're--you're on losing grounds right there. You--you have nothing to stand on. You must be patient. "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and mount up with wings like an eagle." I--I like that. Just be patient. Wait.
God's in no hurry. He let the Hebrew children walk right into the fiery furnace before He ever turned a finger. That's right. And let Daniel go right into the lion's den, let Jesus go plumb into the grave, and His soul descend into hell, then raised Him right up through the bottomless pits, right on out through the grave, and cut every avenue of the devil off, and went straight into glory with it. See? Sure. He's in no hurry. He's God. See? He just... We just get in a hurry, is the only thing. You see? We miss it.
So don't be in a hurry. Wait and watch; listen. Take the Scripture, examine It, see if It's right. And if It's right, hold on to it. If it's not, tell me so I can get it right.
So we--we see that every work must be the Holy Spirit's work. It must be His work. It's His. And it must come out of the Bible. We mustn't draw anything from some conception or reasoning. We must draw it from the Bible.

L-11 If the Lord willing, I want to speak one night, before I leave, on "When The East And The West Meets." I've been trying all up and down the coast to get that in. I hope I get it 'fore I leave here. "When The East And The West Meets." And then, if the Lord willing, I'd like to speak one time upon "The Fortified Word of God." And the Lord willing...

L-12 I was looking over there in one of my briefcase today, and I think of little texts of so forth, of tapes that's been made around five hundred sermons or messages the Lord has given me out of His Word to place. And then tonight... To come to a platform it takes prayer and study. I think any man ought to hide hisself away in the--come out of a--his study in the freshness of God to meet the congregation.

L-13 I've often wondered what I would do if I had two drops of the literal Blood of Jesus Christ in a--in a charger, glass. How I'd walk real careful with It to be sure that I did not spill It. But you know, tonight in His sight, I have a greater in my hand: the purchase of His Blood. He shed His Blood for you. So how must I handle This? See, it's a great responsibility, knowing that I'll have to answer at the day of judgment for every word. And so therefore, let's approach It real reverently.
