<TITLE>02. Par 14-23</TITLE>L-14   And we are looking forward now to these other meetings coming up. And then next week it's down to the Pentecostal Assemblies, and on up. And we wind up, next Wednesday night, at 11th and Garfield. I can't just remember them all in mind. At the, I believe, the First Assembly of God in the city. And--and then the convention starts at the Ramada.

L-15 And now there is a banquet for the Business Men down at the--the main city of Arizona, Tucson.

L-16 And, course, we all know that Phoenix and these places, just outskirts of that city. And that's right. That's the main place. That's my hometown, you know, so-and-so, up on the hill. And then this, just kind of the outskirts of it, why, it's nice to have you all as neighbors.

L-17   So, I believe it was Brother Rasmusson, one night, said something like that in a meeting, and, oh, my, like to tore the meeting up. I believe we was at--we was at Houston. And was Ramsar. That's who it was. He said, the night the Angel of the Lord came down, they took the picture, and he said, "All you people around here from--from Dallas," said, "we know that's the outskirts of Houston." And, oh, my! Texas couldn't take it like here, as some of you could. So there was a big hush over the meeting.

L-18 Well, He is mighty good. And now I think we'll turn in the Scripture here, and just give a little testimony for a while. Wouldn't that kind of change it? I've just beat it around so hard till I'm getting ashamed to look at you. And maybe give you a little bit of rest, and give some testimony of the goodness of our Lord.

L-19   Let's find a place in Saint John, the 16th chapter of Saint John. And I got 16:12. I would like to read from--from that place in the Gospel of Saint John. I like to read the Word, because the Word is what makes us know that it's Truth. Beginning with the 12th verse, and listen close now, 'cause I want to give testimony.

L-20 And then we'll try to get in just a little early. I been keeping you so late. And tomorrow night, why, we'll stay a half-hour extra. That'll make it about one o'clock, won't it? [Brother Branham and congregation laugh--Ed.] So, so, this is beginning with the 12th verse.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come.
He shall now... glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
All things... the Father has are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you.

L-21   You know, last evening, especially, we had a little sample of that. Now, we being a full Gospel people, believing in all of the operations of the Holy Spirit. And now, that's the only way we can be full Gospel, is to believe the full Gospel, all the Lord has written. And I believe that we are, ourselves, are nothing. We are just like...

L-22 As I said to Brother Carl, yesterday, looking at a tree, I said, "Isn't that a beautiful palm tree? But, after all, there's nothing to it but a bunch of volcanic ash. That's all it is." And I said, "How different it is now from that eucalyptus tree. Well, what's a eucalyptus tree? Volcanic ash, with just a life in it." I said, "After all, what am I and what are you? Volcanic ash, that's exactly, from the earth; dust of the earth, with a life in it."

L-23   But each life has been planted by the master Life-giver, and He knows just how and what to do. And everything that He has placed here on earth is for His glory. The stars are for His glory. The winds are for His glory. The flowers are for His glory. And we are the crowning of His glory.
