<TITLE>04. Par 30-40</TITLE>L-30 And then, in that, no one knows just exactly where the prayer line will be called, as we've had plenty of experience in dealing with these things. We got one fellow, one time, selling prayer cards to people, get them up on the platform, so we had to stop that, of course.

L-31   So then we come down, and the boy brings the prayer cards down before you, every afternoon at six-thirty, and he mixes these prayer cards up, right before you. Then takes, and you might get ten; the other one get thirty-five; the next ninety; the next one sixty, like that. And then, again, he wouldn't know what card you got.

L-32 And another thing, then I come down at night, never knowing just where we're going to start at. We might start one place, another place, anywhere, back and forth. Sometimes I count how many people is in this row, and multiply it by this row, and divide it by this row.

L-33 Used to be, I'd have a little child stand up and count. And where he stopped, there I'd start. Believe it or not, the mother had junior stop right on her number. We're still--we're still dealing with human beings, you see, so you have to--have to do it some other way.

L-34 So, this has been worked out now, fine, for many, many years. And we'll be praying for the sick, each night, the Lord willing.

L-35   And now I want you to pray for me. And, now, we believe that Jesus Christ is still alive. We believe that all religions might be all right; but there's none of them and not any of them true and right but Christianity.

L-36 I'm a missionary. I been several times around the world. And I've been all kind of foreign fields, and so forth, and heard the heathens, Buddha, and--and Mohammed and different ones, around, around the world. But there's only one true religion that there really is, one true, that's got salvation in it, and that's Christianity.

L-37 We have so many different forms of it, that we call Christianity, but there's one Christianity. Christianity is not a denomination. It's not a group of people. Christianity is a Person, that's Christ, and--and you are His--His subject. And now, we believe that He is alive. He raised from the dead. We believe that with all of our heart. And we believe that He's right here now, believe that He's just as alive tonight as He ever was. And He come into our midst, to prove Himself to be here, just the same as He was.

L-38   We've been, had great schools and seminaries. Of course, when we get that, we begin to get men with ideas, and they inject in. If two men started out, agree to make--make a--a--an organization, and as good as it is, yet, within a year's time, there'd be all kinds of things injected in that organization, 'cause you get different ideas. And diff-... So, it's all right, it keeps a brotherhood, and nothing against it. But, the thing of it is, you're not saved by your organization, by your denomination.

L-39 You're saved by your own personal faith in Jesus Christ. That's all. So it's between you and Christ, alone. So you seek out the Scripture, and believe Him with all your heart, and--and He'll save you, or heal you. If He doesn't keep His Word, then He isn't God; and if He does keep His Word, It proves He's God. See? So, He, we believe Him with all of our heart.

L-40   And now you pray with me, and we'll do the very best we can. And each night we're going to try to let out early. Usually, we're out of the tabernacle or the buildings before about nine-thirty. Now, tonight may be just a little teeny bit longer. I don't know for sure. We yet have forty-five minutes, so it may be that we can get out on time, tonight. We speak a while.
