<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>62-1123, The Way Back, Life Tabernacle, Shreveport, LA, 141 min
L-1 You may be seated. [A prophecy is given--Ed.] Amen. Marvelous to see the simplicity of the working of the Spirit in people who are just humble enough to listen and believe it, and just keep it... How we thank that exhortation from God that we should be waiting and He will do a work among us. We thank Him.

L-2 Now, I was a little long last night. I just got in a few minutes ago, and--and I was sorry to keep you standing like that. And I try to hurry up tonight, if I possibly can. And tomorrow morning, the Business Men's breakfast at the Washington...?... And I was just told by a brother who has the tickets that the tickets must be purchased tonight, on account of having enough room. To see when they get enough room sold out for in the morning, so they can have the things ready. And he said be sure and get your tickets. And I suppose they'll be at the front of the room up there tonight.

L-3 And tomorrow night, if the Lord willing, I want to... I never know, but just thinking if He's willing, I'd like to speak on a special something tomorrow night, that is on "We Have All Things In Christ." Now, it's a little familiar text, but today it just come to me, and I just want to talk on it tomorrow night, the Lord willing.
And then I think we have a Sunday morning. And then Sunday night, the Lord willing, I want to preach on the subject, "The Countdown," ready for the church to move out (See?), the countdown. See? You know what the countdown is. See? And I believe we can prove it by the Scriptures that we're right now in the countdown. Now, so pray for us.
And if you haven't got any church you go to Sunday morning, we'd be glad to have you here, and Sunday night, 'course, if you've got your own church, that's your first post of duty. We expect you to attend that. But if you don't, why, we'd be glad to have you.

L-4 And I understand that tonight, if we can get through quick enough, we're going to have a--a little prayer line. Billy said he give out some prayer cards here. I think that was right, yeah, that we're going to have a prayer line to pray for the sick.
And sometimes I... Somebody... Many's told me lots of times, said, "You ought to stay with that praying for the sick. You oughtn't to try to do this other."
But somebody called me not long ago, said, "Why are you always picking on them women for?" Well, I'm not picking on them. Said, "Well," said, "why don't you leave them women alone?" Said, "All them men about their organization, and everything..." A very prominent brother...
And I said, "You don't believe that that's Scriptural for them to do that, do you?"
He said, "No." But said, "Didn't the Lord call you to pray for the sick?"
I said, "Yes."
He said, "Well, why, don't you stay with that?"
I said, "I do."
And he said, "Let... if He called you to pray for the sick, let--let--let the preachers take care of that."
I said, "But they're not doing it."
He said... He said, "Why..."
I said, "I--I--I got to..."
He said, "Why, most of the people in... I know, I guess, a million people consider you to be a prophet."
I said, "I'm not no prophet."
He said, "But the people think of you that way." Said, "Frankly, I do myself."
I said, "Thank you." I said, "Sometimes He shows me things that's coming, and He's never lied to me yet, and He won't. And 'cause He's God, He can't."
And--and he said, "Well, if you be God's servant like that, why don't you teach them women and things, how to receive high spiritual gifts, instead of keep fussing at them about cutting their hair, and wearing shorts, and makeup, and things?" Said, "You ought to teach them greater things, and how they can receive great gifts, and do something."
I said, "How are you going to teach algebra when they won't even listen to their abc's? And learn that, and then we'll start on something else."
