<TITLE>05. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 So... And Becky turned around and looked at Sarah coming down the hall. And she said, "Sarah, my sister, I want you to know one thing." She said, "I was here first, and I've got all of daddy, and there's none of him left for you." You know, like some of them try to tell us today, they think they've got it all, you know. They've been here a long time, started four or five hundred years ago, you know...
And poor little Sarah, her little lip dropped down; her little, brown eyes colored up. She started to turn around. I looked over to one side while Becky had her head against me, like this. I motioned like that and stuck the other knee out. Here she come, jumped right up on it. She was--she was... Her legs wouldn't reach the floor. She hadn't been around very long, you know, so she--she was kind of tottery; and I was afraid she was going to fall. So I just reached and took both arms and put them around Sarah, and she put her little head up against me, like this.
She turned around, and rolled those big, dark eyes, and looked up to Rebekah, and said, "Rebekah, my sister, I've got something to say to you." She said, "It may be so that you've got all of daddy, but I want you to know that daddy's got all of me."

L-17 So--so I think if we just turn ourself loose, and worship the Lord... We may get a little tottery. As long as He's got all of me, that's all I care for. If I can just surrender myself so completely that He can have all of me... I might not know all the ins-and-outs, know how to duel the creeds, and so forth like that. But one thing...
A fellow said to me one time. I made a remark, and he said (a very brilliant man), and he said, "You just don't know your Bible."
I said, "But I know the Author real well." So that's a... To know Him is Life. Don't you think so? Yes, sir. I--I... If I know Him, He will reveal His Book to me just as He wants me to know It.

L-18 The brethren told me just there that you'd taken an offering for me. I appreciate it. Really, I didn't come for that, I... But I appreciate it.
I always request... If all expenses is made and everything, and they take up an offering, then you know what I do with that? I take it to the foreign fields myself. And I know you give a portion of your living. Now, it's in my hands. I'm responsible now. It's off of your hands. But by the best of my ability I'll use it to the Kingdom of God and the upbuilding of the Kingdom.
I pray that it'll return to you a thousandfold. You set in this hot building; you sponsored the meeting; you've--you've done everything well. I thank you. There's not a--nothing I can do but say this, "God bless every one of you." I hope He does with all that you have need of in this journey, and I'm sure He will.

L-19 Now, I want to ask you a question and a favor. I'm fixing to leave right away now. Maybe my... I have about... I've got to go to Brother Leeming--many of you all know him, down in Florida there with the Christian Business Men, a couple of meetings. And then I'm heading overseas, where you can't set like this. Witch doctors standing there challenge you. Everything... You--you just... You're not on the battlefield here; but you are there.
And when everything's going real hard and everything, can I depend on my people, friends, in Oregon praying for me? Will you do that? Just pray for me. I'll be depending on you. I'll always pray for you.
And if I never see you no more this side the river, I'll see you on the other side with the same testimony: Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever. I believe He's the Son of God that still saves from sin. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, crucified, died, rose the third day, and ever living to make intercessions upon our confession. I believe that He lives.
