<TITLE>10. Par 91-101</TITLE>L-91 Now, you that had Garnett in life, his father, mother, brother, sisters, and whatever you were, relatives, you knew him. You loved him. You couldn't come in contact with Garnett without loving him. See? You was with him here. Now what about the life hereafter? Let's prepare, that we too will meet him in the resurrection. Let's make our lives in such a way, that we'll meet him in the resurrection.

L-92   "If a man die," said the text, "can he live again? All the appointed days of my life will I wait, till my change comes. Thou will call, and I will answer." "The trumpet of God shall sound, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then if we're alive at that time and remain, shall be caught up with them, to meet the Lord in the air, and forever be with the Lord."

L-93 This is a proving ground, a trying time. Garnett met the specifications that God required. And today, Garnett is not dead, he sleeps with the One that he loves more than anything else in the world. More than he loved... As much as he loved his parents, he loved everybody he come in contact with, he loved. Yet, the One that he supremely loved was Jesus Christ. He's gone to be with Him. May you who shared his lesser love, may we all prepare to meet him at that great resurrection.
Let us bow our heads just a moment.

L-94   With our heads bowed. I haven't tried to say too much about Garnett. He's a Christian. His own life tells what he is. But the thing I tried to tell you, you loved ones, that he shall rise again. Prove it to you, this is not the end. There's the guarantee written out, by the Blood of Son of God, he'll rise again.

L-95 Now let's prepare our hearts now, that when we too are brought to a place like this, some funeral parlor, that our loved ones can remember that we are prepared also to go. And may the father, mother, loved ones of this young boy, the greatest thing...

L-96   You know, I know how that you're suffering. I just give up a child, a little girl. I know how your hearts are bleeding.

L-97 But, see, if Garnett had been lost, it really would be a terrible time for you. But what a glorious hour it is for you, to know that your boy was with Christ. And he had to go sometime. And at the end of the road, he still remained with his faith. And God has him today. To you ones who is cousins and relation to him, just think of what he was. And now what if he had went the other way? We have nothing to worry about. Garnett is with Jesus. Let us prepare to go with Him, too.

L-98   Gracious God, great Eternal Jehovah, Who moved upon the waters and said, "Let there be light." You Who spoke the world into existence by Your Word, has promised by that same Word that we shall rise again. Now we want to offer, You, Father, this afternoon...

L-99 As I was associated with this young brother, in life, and how the undying love between he and I. As long as I live here, I suppose I'll always remember that gallant little soldier rocking on that bed, in the iron lung, between breaths, praising the Lord God. He was an example, too, for me, of his patience, never to complain, just, "The--the will of God be done." Thou has placed him before us, and now Thou has taken him out of our presence.

L-100 Lord God, may each one of us, this afternoon, who are living... And I feel, maybe, that Garnett would want me to say this. If we are not prepared, may we be prepared, and be as I have stated it, Father, germitized, to meet him by the same Holy Spirit which he received, the Life that was in Christ.

L-101   Bless this dear mother and this father, and the parents, and the loved ones. Whoever they may be, let Your holy Presence be with them, Father. May this be a time that--that they'll think, more than ever, what this little life has lived like this for. It was a testimony, as an example.
