<TITLE>15. Par 182-195</TITLE>L-182 She looked at me. And both of them looked around, all three of them. Then they turned and walked away, and then come back again.

L-183 And I said, "I'm not going to hurt you." I said, "Go on in the woods. You're in my hands. You couldn't get away. But," I said, "I've been in God's hands, and yet I couldn't get away, either. He spared me. I made Him a promise. I'm sparing you. Go on, have a good time, enjoy this woods. I like it. You go on!"

L-184   They stood there a little while, and walked up close to eat out of my hands, almost; turned around and looked all at me, like that, and walked on off. Stand and looked back again, walked right on out in the woods. And I was standing there. I thought, "That's unusual, for deer. Wonder if it's because that the Lord Jesus is here, His Presence?"

L-185 And just then a Voice spoke to me, said, "You remembered your promise, didn't you?" I knew it was Him.
I said, "Yes, Lord."

L-186 He said, "So do I remember Mine. I'll never leave you. I'll never forsake you."

L-187 That burden lifted. Christian friends, it hasn't been back since. That was last October. I've been a different person.

L-188 Keep your promise to God. Whatever you say to God, you believe it. Separate yourself from anything contrary to His Word. God will hear and answer prayer.
Let us bow our heads just a moment.

L-189 Are you willing to separate yourself, tonight, from all unbelief, to hear the Word of the Lord? If you'll do it, and believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! These things what He has promised to do, we see Him doing it. Will you raise your hands and say, "God, I make You a promise tonight. I believe everything that You promised. I believe every Word; that I'd never doubt no more"?

L-190   Our Heavenly Father, Thou knowest this story to be true. That was the fourth time. And then the fifth time, was with my own precious wife, when You... Last week, when that doctor writing that statement, that big tumor left before his hand touched her; just according to what it said.

L-191 Now, Father, I pray that You'd help these people. I realize that I'm getting old. I know that I must go soon. And I pray, Lord, that, let me be honest and sincere with my brethren, let be honest and sincere with Your people. If I can't be with them, then I don't think I would be with You, Lord, because I want to bear record of You. And I pray that You'll let the Word so live in us, tonight, that You'll give all of us faith. And by this little gift that...

L-192 People think sometimes that a gift is something that you put in your hands, and go out and cut your way through. A gift is not that, Father. May they understand that a gift is get yourself out of the way, so that the Holy Spirit can do what It wants to do.

L-193   Lord, let us get ourselves out of the way now, and let the great Holy Spirit come and work through us. And may We see, tonight, the promises of Jesus Christ, that... the One that I referred to especially tonight, Lord, that, that One where God came down before Abraham, manifested in flesh, and knowed the secret of the heart, It was God. And when He was made flesh and dwelt among us, He knew the secret of the heart. And the Bible says that, "The Word of God is a discerner of the thoughts that's in the heart." That's how the disciples knowed that He was God.

L-194 Now, Father, will You come tonight and let our poor humble tabernacles be dedicated to You, that You'll cause us to believe, that it's Your Spirit might make Itself known among us tonight, that You're still the Word. Then we'll separate ourself from all unbelief and follow You. In Jesus' Name, may You speak to us. Amen.
[Someone gives an exhortation--Ed.]

L-195   Great God of Heaven, be merciful unto us. Help us, O Lord, to obey Your Commandments. And use us to Thy honor. And we thank Thee for these encouraging words. Now let the Holy Spirit move through us and confirm these words. In Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
