<TITLE>04. Par 22-27</TITLE>L-22   Then another thing, is, might be some strangers hear the people laugh. Cause, I try to get away from here, but I can't do it. It's kind of... I hope it don't sound sacrilegious, but my mother used to say, when people get together like that, it's just like sorghum molasses on a cold morning. You know, it's thick, and running slow. And so that's about the way it is. I run slow in these Messages, because the--the sweetness of the sugarcane of God, you know, kind of thickens us up together. And I--I--I don't, wouldn't want it no other way. I--I want it just that way. Where, I remember we used to stand and sing that song.
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
Our fellowship of kindred mind
Is like to that Above. See?
We asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

L-23 And I--I trust that that'll always be our--our goal here. Many of those old saints has fell asleep since then, but we're still joined in heart. And I think that vision that morning, to see them over there, and the blessed and glory of the young statures of man and womanhood, still look like they did here, when they was here on earth. I think they're waiting our coming. Someday we will join them, God being willing. Now I--I...

L-24   And remember the services, the song services will begin at seven o'clock tonight, instead of seven-thirty.
And then, next week, I'm at Shreveport, Louisiana, and there at the Life Tabernacle at Shreveport, Louisiana. And I think they're trying to get the auditorium across the street. Brother Moore called last night, said they... It's a annual convention, and they're expecting a great host of people.

L-25   I want to give a little testimony just before I read the Scriptures. A--a lady was setting here the other day, there was... Tell you what the influence is of somebody praying for another. I just happened to look down and seen another lady I just... Margie Cox, Brother Rodney Cox's wife setting here. And last week, I believe it was, when we were here, the Holy Spirit was giving discernment across the buildings, you know, how people told. And she was setting... She is setting right here now. But she was just beyond there somewhere. And I--I looked over, and there was a lady that--that was called, that had the sugar diabetes. And Margie was... And in the vision it was Margie. And Margie was standing there; and yet I looked down, I seen her, and it was a... And I thought... And I looked to see this other woman, and Margie was in the vision, but the Light was over the woman. So I--I watched.

L-26 And I thought, well, if I call Margie, they'll say, "Sure, that, sure." Somebody know them, say, "Why, he--he... Her husband is just one of his--his bosom friends. They live together, sleep together, hunt together, and--and everything. Sure, that's, he would know that." But Margie didn't know that. But I called the other lady, which was a... I believe, was a sister out of Chicago, as I learned later.

L-27   But then come, that in her... the factory, they're giving diabetic tests. And--and she had diabetes. And so she was on her road, day before yesterday, to the clinic for it. And--and so when she mentioned it, then I called her memory of this. And I said, "Come here, Sister Margie." And told her about how she had been getting numb in her hands, and--and how that the real bad feeling.
The little lady works day and night, almost, up there, to... loyal little mother, to help her husband to pay for their home that they're trying to build. And--and her and her little sister, Nellie, and Charlie, that's the brother of Rodney, his wife, and all of them working together at them factories there, just as hard as they can go. And standing the reproach. They let their hair grow out, and taking make-up off, things like that, when become Christians. I believe in giving credit where credit is deserved. And I certainly have a warm place in my heart for those two young women.
