<TITLE>21. Par 129-132</TITLE>L-129 Heavenly Father, I remember right here at this same desk, this same place where I spoke of that morning, that when I dedicated the church right upon this ground here. And that cornerstone lays there still holding a leaf out of the Bible that I wrote that. I said, "Lord Jesus, with Your grace I'll stay true to the Word." And now I see it's produced just exactly what it done in other times. And here I am in this Tabernacle tonight, after traveling the world, back again, and the little cornerstone still lays there and the paper's in it. Search me, Lord. I've--I've made many mistakes. I--I've done wrong, Lord. Many times I've failed You, as I just testified awhile ago about a failure. God, I--I, quick as I do it, I want forgiveness. In my heart I love You. And I--I know You showed me recently about that place we're going. And I don't know when You're through with me now, Lord. I--I'm here tonight, I--by Your grace, and I--I don't know when You're through, but I know this has to come to this. But when it comes that time, I--I don't want to be a coward. I want to stand like the rest of them stood. But, God, if--if--if I have to seal my testimony with my own life, or whatever it is to be done, Lord, crown it then, not crown me; crown the ministry that I've preached, Lord, it's Your Word. And I know that Word is more than able to raise me up again at the resurrection. And I'm not ashamed of the Word that I have preached, because It's the power of God unto salvation to as many as believe.

L-130 I thank You for the little church still standing today. When I took that stand for the Word, the prophets prophesied and said, "In six months it'll be turned into a garage." Thirty years has passed, she's more on fire today than it's been in years; "upon this rock I'll build My Church." We thank You for our pastor. We thank You for the deacons, the trustees. We all got a little part to play, Lord, and we want to play it loyal; we want to play it right.
There may be some in here like to join up with us tonight, Lord. And the way they join it, is just to take hold of this little Lifeline and go to pulling, wrap it around their wrist, tie it around their heart, and say, "Now, Lord, pull, lift me up," and they'll come forth and shine as gold. Grant it, Lord. We're looking for that time.

L-132 We believe that it's near the end. We see that as we have been teaching here, the Laodicean church age is now on; we see there can't be nothing else happen but the coming of the Lord. And, Lord, wouldn't that be a great crown for the Word to see the Crown Himself come? I'd like to be standing here and say, "There He is; that's the Lamb." Like John did. "Behold the Lamb that we have waited on; this is He." The Lord will quickly come to His temple, take away His people in the rapture.
Make us ready, Father. Wash our hearts in Your Blood. Make us pure and clean, that Your Word might abide in us. May we remember that we must act upon the Word, in order for It to take ahold and be effective. Grant every sinner repentance. Bless everyone that's in here. The saints, those, some of these old precious warriors, Lord, that's been battling along the line for years, made fun of, talked about and ridiculed. They're still going on because they got Life. They know Who they've believed, and persuaded He's able to keep that which they've committed to Him. We thank You for that, Pray that You'll heal the sick that's in our midst. Take all of our sins and sicknesses away. And, Father God, get glory to Yourself.
