L-1      You may be seated. Thank you very much, brother, Brother Shores. It's a... I certainly deem this a grand privilege to be here tonight, in the... this First Assembly of God, again, to fellowship around the Word of God, with you fine people, to be with our precious Brother Shores again, and--and all the brethren that we have met through the week. And we've had really a grand time, these last two weeks.

L-2   I don't know as I have ever, in years, ever had a better time than I had this week, of fellowshipping with the brethren around through this Maricopa Valley, all the way from Mesa, down, and down to Tucson, which is Jerusalem, of course, on the hill. And we're glad to visit with our brethren here in Jericho, see, down here in the... down at the bottom of the hill. Just wondered how that was going to go.

L-3 And so when I was here, many years ago, that was always a rival between Tucson and Phoenix. So, I just thought of that the other day, you know. They was teasing me about holding up for Tucson. And so I thought about, well, it's on the hill, and Jericho is in the valley, you know. So I thought that would just be a good one. Well, we catch Mr. In-between then, another one coming down. We want to work on him.

L-4   Now, it's been a grand time, as I repeat, and we've certainly enjoyed ourselves immensely.

L-5 Now, we are grea-... waiting with great anticipation for this coming convention starting tomorrow night. We're expecting a great time. And in this I have tried to lay, in my humble way of doing it, a foundation, kind of get a stir among the people, for the revival that's coming up. And now we got some wonderful speakers coming up, in this revival that's at hand now. Brother Velmer Gardner, and--and some Methodist brother that's supposed to be an outstanding speaker, and then, for that great final wrap at it all, is our precious Brother Oral Roberts, for next Monday night. And I trust that God will give the brethren such messages that will send Phoenix to its knees, trembling, in the fear of God.

L-6 And we tried hard, this week, to--to lay a foundation for that, of the soon appearing of the Son of God. And I am believing, and have been teaching, that altogether possible that He could come in this generation now, even this night. We just don't know when it's going to be, but we want to be so prepared that, when it does come, we will go with Him in the Rapture.

L-7   It's been a great time. I been preaching these strong Messages about His Coming, and trying to lay out the--the possibilities, and the hour that we're now living in, and how that everything, to my opinion, my humble opinion, is just in condition for the Coming of the Lord, the Rapture, the next thing. And all that lacks, could happen within an hour.

L-8 I believe, many, I don't know just how many, but several of the outstanding prophecies pertaining to the fulfillment of the coming of the Messiah and what He would do, was fulfilled in the last seven hours at the cross. "How they pierced My side, and My... not a bone was broken." And--and He cried, "My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?" And the great prophecies, they just happened, one, two, three, four, just like that, just in an hour or two, apart.

L-9 Now, that could happen the same way at His return. And we must be alert, waiting.

L-10   Last evening I thought we had a grand time down at the--at the Assembly of God south of here. I believe it's Southside, maybe, it's called, Southside Assembly. Met a fine brother that I had not met before in the journey, as I remember, but a precious brother and a fine group of people.
