<TITLE>11. Par 111-121</TITLE>L-111 The Bible said, "All those who love His appearing." Oh, my, for a day that when this old mortal will take on immortality, and this--this pest-house that I live in will be changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, and a body like His Own glorious body! It should be the heart's desire of the Church. It should be every man and woman, on fire, preach in the streets and everywhere else, trying to get souls saved. Certainly.

L-112   I'm wondering if we've really tied to that absolute that we claim to. Are we looking at the right morning star? If we're just trusting in our church and our denomination, our affiliation; as the world changes, it changes with that, round and around.

L-113 But there's one Star that never change. There's one thing that can never change, that's God. God cannot change. His Word cannot change. His Bible cannot change. And if a man is born of the Spirit of God, with Christ in him, it punctuates every promise with an "amen." That is right. Certainly.

L-114   Oh, sure, a prayer meeting is what we need. We must be Christians. All Christians must use this same absolute, the Word of God. God's Word is the Christian's stay.

L-115 Jesus said, in His Word, "If ye abide in Me, My Words abide in you, then you can ask what you will, and it'll be done for you." Think of it. What more of an absolute would you want? What could you trust more in than something like that? "If ye abide in Me, My Words abide in you, then ask what you will."

L-116 To ask for God to work upon the heart of that judge, or that parole board, and get that little fellow out of that death cell! If we ask it with faith, believing, in these prayer meetings, we'll get it. That, I just believe God like that.

L-117   And my faith that I have in God, that's why I'm here tonight. That's why I canceled out something else, and got in here. I got to drive hundreds of miles tonight, back to Tucson, Arizona, because I come to put my faith with yours. That's a man. It's a soul laying yonder. It's someone in need. And we Christians have got to wake up to a reality, to real genuine faith. Tie it to the Word of God, and plead that promise. Yes, sir. Oh, my! "If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you, ask what you want."

L-118 And again, "If the people that's called by My Name shall assemble themselves together and pray, then I'll hear from Heaven." Prayer meeting, that's it.

L-119   I believe in talking to attorneys and talking to lawyers, or judges, or parole boards, or whatever more. That's all right. But, brother, if your hope isn't tied to something than just the carnal men of mind, a mind of men, rather, you'll sure be sadly disappointed.

L-120 But if you can tie your faith into such a place that you know, and stay there and pray until God answers back, and you know you've got it in your heart, something is going to happen.

L-121 I've seen the dead raised from the funeral home. I've seen the--the blind eyes come open, the deaf ears unstopped. I've seen cancer-ridden cases, with sarcomas cancer, leprosy, healed by the power of the Almighty God. Because, they had faith to believe that that God, Who made the promise, would be able to keep His promise. That's real, genuine faith like Abraham had.
