L-1      Brother Don, thank you. This is kind of a sudden surprise. [Someone says, "A nice one."--Ed.] Well, it's a... ["Amen."] Thank you, ever who said that. ["I did."] Thank you, very much.

L-2 I was enjoying those songs. My, I like to hear that! You know, I love good singing, and I hear plenty of it when I come down here. Usually I'm not... When I come down, having healing services or something, I have to kind of stay alone, by myself, and then the boys get these tapes. And then when I get home, or have some work to do in the office, then I sit down and listen to those tapes, over and over. And I hear everything that's said.

L-3   And I'm glad to see Brother Gerholtzer here this morning, an old friend of the Gospel; of many years ago was out in this same work, praying for the sick, perhaps years before I ever knew about praying for the sick. And so, and other men here, personal friends. I see a great host here last night from the tabernacle up at Jeffersonville. And so we are very glad.

L-4 And I met Brother Young Brown. I said, "Brother Jack said his name was 'Young,' and it fits him." When he told me he was sixty-something years old, I could hardly believe it. He hasn't changed a bit since the first time out here in Shreveport. That's right, just looks the same.

L-5   Well, God is good to us. And I--I like those, the way them songs this morning, with--with the depth to it; something that's real, something that--that--that means something. You can drink it in. I--I could hardly refrain from crying right out loud, when I heard them singing that song, about something about the 23rd Psalm there. And then--then come over, and this lovely song that they just sang, the trio there. Just to think of the...

L-6 There is something in it, that you feel on the inside of you, your emotions pulsating, knows that the Kingdom of God is near at hand. All these things that we have talked about and wondered about, is now fixing to take place. Some of us may fall asleep before that time comes, but that will not prevent our resurrection, because, it gives the--the privilege of coming before those are changed.

L-7   "Trumpet of God shall sound; the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain." Did you notice the order of the resurrection? "Shall be caught up together with them." We meet each other before we meet Him. "Be caught up together to meet them... with them, to meet the Lord in the air."

L-8 See, He is God, and then when He wants to be worshiped, that's what His very nature is, is to be worshiped, because He is God. And He knows if we were there, be looking out of the corner of your eye, see if the other one is there, but, and then it wouldn't be the complete way of free worship. When we stand there, and--and we know we've met each other first, and greeted each other, and then to stand by Him Who caused it all, and sing the songs of redemption! As Brother Jack has many times made the statement, "When Angels will circle the earth, with bowed heads, not knowing what we're talking about." See, because they never been redeemed. But we had to be redeemed, and how we'll crown Him the King of kings and Lord of lords.
