<TITLE>08. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 Now, when He's right here with you, moving right along through, proving Himself right there with you as the Scripture said He was, and what He would be... What He was He still is and will forever be. And watch Him moving around among you, and then that... To me that ought to thrill you in such a way you'd--you'd just plow through every unbelief, lay aside everything that was ungodly, stand up and make your confession.
Grass Valley, not long ago, a few weeks ago, I spoke on the immorals of the church today. And every bobbed-haired woman in the place stood up. and ministers stood up, and cried out for mercy. Then God, the very next night, emptied every seat, every wheelchair, every cot, everything else, and made everybody perfectly whole.
Brother, God's got conditions you've got to meet. See? You must meet those. And if you can't do the little earthly things, how are we ever going to get up here and have heavenly things taught to us? So let's keep it earthly, until that part's over. Then we'll get up in the heavenlies.

L-31 I'm going to announce my subject before I read the Scripture. My subject tonight is, "A Testimony On The Sea." And my text tonight is, "Be Not Afraid. It Is I." Now, remember, my subject is "A Testimony Upon The Sea," and my text is, "Be Not Afraid. It Is I."
Now, to you that wants to read the Scripture, let's turn in the Bible now, the Word of God. Each one has his Bible, I want you to turn and read with me Matthew, 14 chapter, and begin with the 22nd verse.
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with the waves: and the wind was contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It's a spirit, and they cried out for fear.
But straightway Jesus spake unto them saying, Be of a good cheer, it is I, be not afraid.

L-32 It must have been getting late. They'd had a great meeting that day. The sun was going down, setting across the little Galilee lake. And they was all tired, they were worn out, a great day meeting peoples. (I'm making this a drama so children can catch it.) And everybody was weary and tired.
I can see the great brawny back of that big fisherman, as he tugged at the boat, pushing it out across the sand until he got it in the water so that it would float under the--in the water, climbed up into the stern of the boat, and took his seat by the side of his brother, Andrew.
And all on the bank--there must have been thousands of people, all, some of them wiping their eyes from tears and saying, "Come back. See us again. Bring Him back again."

L-33 You know, there's something about having a meeting that... When you have a good spiritual meeting where something's gone on, great things has took place, you just hate to leave the people, and the people hates to see you leave them.
That's always been a great heartache to me after a great meeting to say, "Bye, bye." I know there's many there I'll never see again in this life. And what I've said is recorded on the books. I'll have to meet them with that in that day of the judgment. So I be careful what I say; keep it with the Word.
