<TITLE>01. Par 1-13</TITLE>63-0127, An Absolute, Ramada Inn, Phoenix, AZ, 112 min
L-1      Thank you, Brother Shakarian. Let us just remain standing for a         few moments. I'm sure, in an audience of this size, there's many requests, people who are sick, needy, and so let's just bow our heads just a moment for a word of prayer. Here is many requests laying here, also, and handkerchiefs.

L-2   Our Heavenly Father, we are coming now in the Name of the Lord Jesus, knowing this, that You promised that You would hear and would answer our prayers. And I ask You to be merciful to us, to forgive our sins. And we're taught, in the Scripture, that, "You forgive all of our sins, and heal all of our diseases." And we pray, Heavenly Father, that this will be done this afternoon now, because we're asking it in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

L-3 Upon these handkerchiefs and requests, we're taught in the Scriptures, how that, "From the body of Paul was taken handkerchiefs and aprons, and evil spirits went out of the people, and they were healed." Now, You're the same Jesus today. And we stand, in number, asking that You'll grant these things.

L-4 There is, no doubt, many requests in the building today, of so many people that are needy in this hour. Meet their needs, Lord, both physically and spiritually, for we ask this in Jesus' Name. Amen.
All right. Thank you, brother.

L-5   We used to sing a little song, years ago, "A Little Talk With Jesus Makes It Right." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-6 Now, I believe Brother Williams just got through saying there's a breakfast in the morning. And now, I don't believe I've ever heard where next year is going to be at. [A brother says, "Right here."--Ed.] Right--right here again. Right--right here again. Well, that same place. The same place, that's very fine. Yes. That's very...

L-7 Men ought to worship at Jerusalem, that's Tucson, not--not down here. See? [Congregation laughs--Ed.] Now, you're down under the hill. Jericho is down under the hill, from Jerusalem, you know. So, that's Jerusalem down there. See? [Congregation laughs. A brother then says, "We expect--expect a big miracle over there."] Did you hear that?

L-8 So, "Men ought to worship God, everywhere," Jesus said, you know. "Not at Jerusalem, neither here or in this mountain, but worship Him in Spirit and in Truth." That's the main thing, "In Spirit and in Truth."

L-9   Now, I, usually, when I speak, I'm just so slow. I--I was admiring Brother Velmer Gardner, the other night, could come up here and put more in fifteen minutes than I can put in three hours. My!

L-10 I--I don't know whether I ever told you this or not. When I was a--a kid, I... my daddy was a rider, you know. And he used to ride horses and break them, followed rodeo, shooting, trick shots. And he... I thought, you know, when I got to be about twelve years old, I ought to take after my dad. So when they'd plow the old horse, out there in Indiana, you know, until he got so tired he couldn't move hardly. I--I'd get my dad, when he made the round with the plow, you know, way out the back of the field. And I'd get down there where they had an old watering trough made out of a log.

L-11 How many ever seen one of them watering troughs? Man, look at the Kentuckians that's in here!

L-12   So, oh, I used to have a big time, go down and put the horsehair in the water, you know, watch it turn, what we called, "a horse-hair snake." Is them little... You know, touch it, then it'd move. And the bees...

L-13 I'd get my little brothers and all, set them along down there. And get the old plow horse, you know, and jerk the harness off of him right quick, and get dad's saddle, a handful of cockleburs and put it up under the saddle, and pull down the cinch. I'd--I'd jump up on there. Poor horse, old and tired, and he couldn't get his feet off the ground. He'd just bawl, you know. And I'd throw that hat around. My! I thought I was a rider.
