<TITLE>11. Par 98-108</TITLE>L-98 And then He told me, "If you'll be sincere, it'll come to pass that you'll know the very secret of their heart." You all, many of you people remember that. And it come to pass, just that way, just exactly. A few years after that, I was up in Queen City, Regina, in Canada, and standing on the platform, with Doctor Ern Baxter and them. And a man come walking across the platform. And the first thing, I didn't even know what I was saying, called his name, told him what was the matter with him, and there it went. Since then, it went on.

L-99 Now it's come to another stage. That I can never tell, but it'll speak for itself.

L-100   But remember, in the great ministry, it made a revival fire and went around the world. And now, in the last few years, that revival lasted longer than any revival we ever knowed in history. No historian can say that a revival lasted hardly over three years, at any time. But this has gone fifteen years, or more, straight constant revival.

L-101 But now the revival has died out. Just barely... Then come up the Latter Rain, and a little tail of it kind of sweeps through England now, and there just the last kick of it is just about over. The church has settled down into Laodicea again, and make the age. It has to be that way. Exactly, it has to be that way. And now we are feasting tonight upon the--the scraps that we're picking up from that revival.

L-102   That's about the way those disciples was from that day's revival, waiting for the next day. Jesus, during that time, was resting. Maybe He was resting from the revival, like He was resting on the seventh day; after He made the earth in six, then the Bible said, "He rested. He rested, the seventh day." Well, maybe that's what He was doing. He was resting.

L-103 Then, all of a sudden, trouble set in. Oh, just let the Church start to rest a little bit, and then trouble sets in. Ship begin to rock, the sails blew off, and the water filled up the boat. Seemed like all hope of survival was gone. Though they had seen Him do so many things, when trouble strikes...

L-104 Now here I'm going to close just in a few minutes, 'cause we're going to start the prayer line.

L-105 We've seen all those things. We've seen the pro and con of the people. And now it comes to a place where it's kind of a slack, we're talking about what He has done, and so forth, and looking for what He is going to do. That's just human. Human beings are always telling what God did do, what they believe He is going to do, and forgetting what He's doing.

L-106   They did the same thing. They had seen Him out there heal the sick and raise the dead, and foreknow things, and tell the people the secrets of their hearts, and believed that they were on the road to another revival. But when trouble set in, they forgot all about it.

L-107 That's just the way we do. That's where we sit tonight, sitting in that same spot. And yet, if we only knew, He is in the ship. He is just as great here as He was when He was laying in that ship. He is just as great as He was when He stood in space and created the world. He is just as great as He was with Moses, at the Red Sea. He's as great as He was at the grave of Lazarus. He's as great as He was when He healed the leper, give sight to the blind. He's as great as He was in the days of the Welsh revival. He's just as great as He was in any time, and He's here in the ship!

L-108 Trouble set in. We go places, find fusses in the church, tear up. Do you know that will ruin a church? Stay together!
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred mind
Is like to that above. (That impartable love and faith in God and each other!)
