<TITLE>03. Par 14-20</TITLE>L-14 There's a certain man that's sets with us; every time I look back my heart jumps. It's a man I seen taking communion the other night, walks on a crutch. Did anybody ever tell you you look like Oral Roberts? I tell you, every time I... How many... You've seen Oral Roberts, nearly all of you. If he don't look like Oral Roberts... I just happened to look back. And I--I think he's a little bigger man than Oral is. But just to look the way he combs his hair, and his forehead and his features, and always kind of a dignified-looking person, setting like Oral. And so I--I always think, "Brother Oral?" Looks just something like him.
Brother Oral's starting some kind of a Bible school out there now, I believe, or something. I heard about it the other day. What? University. Yes. Brother Carl Williams is one of his ultimates on it, of some sort; I don't know just what it is now.

L-16 Now, now remember, Sunday, the Lord willing, we'll start, I have the Easter--or the Christmas message. And then I'm--I'm grateful about the Tabernacle being started. And then I hope that this will be not only an addition to number, but it will be the addition to grace that God will grant our church, our movement, or, not movement, but our congregation that we have assembled together. We love it.
And--and I'd just like to say this. I'm not going to take much time. But I have many things I ought to say, but I'm not; it would take too much time. But I'd like to say this; it's something that I cannot say. There's things everyone understands that you know, and it's in the Name of the Lord, yet you cannot say it. You see, you've got to keep it to yourself. See? But a certain event that's moving up, and has been for some time, that's fixing to take place, that I have been alarmed at watching the Holy Spirit move among the people to that spot, and them knowing not one earthly thing (See?), but see the Holy Spirit moving to that. I'll reveal it, the Lord willing, some convenient time. Now, remember, that shows God among them.

L-18 As someone, I believe, brother, yes, said awhile ago, Brother Neville said that, "God, not accounting our--our--our disorder among us, or our misbehavings in His sight..." That the seer that went to look upon Israel, and could see it with the natural eye, how unorderly it was, how that they had did wrong and they should be cursed. But what the bishop failed to see was that smitten Rock and that brass serpent (See?), making atonement. So, you see, when--when Balaam looked upon Israel, he saw a reason to curse them. See? But when God looked upon them, He saw the atonement. He said, "You're like a unicorn." Amen, "Who will put anything in your way? How godly, how righteous are thy tents." That's the way God saw them (See?), not the way man saw them, not the way the--the great dignitaries saw them, but the way He saw them.
And, O God, let that be my portion. Let that be my portion, for I have nothing within myself that I could claim. "Nothing in my hands I bring, just simply to Thy cross I cling." See, that's all we have.

L-20 Well, this is prayer meeting night, or not prayer meeting night, but this is kind of an evangelistic group here. We--we like to place the Word. And maybe I'd like to speak to you tonight for a few minutes. Many of you that would like to turn in the Scripture will... Well, do you know, the strange thing, that opened just exactly to it, to the text that I was going to read. Yes, sir. Strange. That was I Corinthians the 11th chapter, and some notes that I had wrote down here, somewhere in here, that I was thinking of, that if I can find it just now, on I Corinthians the--the--the 11th chapter. Right here it is, right here. Yes, sir.
Now, before we approach the Word, let's approach the Author (See?), Who is the Word, that we might ask for mercy and for His blessings while we study Him Who is the Word. Let us pray.
