<TITLE>10. Par 99-107</TITLE>L-99   So I'm thankful this morning to fit right in, up here, see, where you might be an odd person on this side of the river. Even some of your people might think that you are odd. I know they do. I've had letters from them, see, that said you were odd, you were different, "what in the world happened" to you? I just chose this little thing to say to you this morning. See? Sure, you're a nut. That's right. But I'm glad to be one. But if I'm not tight with this Word, then I'm "yunk." See? I'll just be a nut for Christ. Yes.

L-100 I get letters from many of your people. Some of them come by and say, "Do you know what happened?"
"What?"

L-101 "This odd guy," uh-huh, "so-and-so, went up there and done so-and-so."
I said, "Wait just a minute."

L-102 Depends on what you're wound on. See? So, may the Lord Jesus Christ, the Shepherd of the flock, ever keep your hearts so wound into Him, that, when the great Shepherd does appear, we'll appear with Him.
Can we pray?

L-103   Heavenly Father, seeing that time has run out, I'm just rushed. Such a lovely, sweet bunch of Christians. And such a rude text; but in the room the other day, thinking of what I seen on letters, and what I heard people say. When I... Your little servants here asked me to come up and visit them, and fellowship with the little flock. This rude text of being a nut, I thought I'd use that, so I could get the--the thought over to them. They--they would understand what I think, too. We have become a fool, like Paul, to the world. But yet, Lord, we want to be so tightened to You and Your Word, that, when the Rapture comes, we'll--we'll want to be with it, Lord. So help us to ever have our hearts knitted and bound together in the love of Christ.

L-104   Bless Brother Leo, Brother Gene, and Brother Daulton, and all these fine men and these lovely women in here. Hearing their testimonies, happy, happy, contented. Walk in the room up there, where one that's paralyzed, and to see the smiles! No wonder, our Brother Leo said it's a bit of sunshine, to walk up here. No wonder, to see even when the man, not even a bit of relation to her, nothing but concerned, that they'd take a trailer and make it so she could be happy. See, Lord, the thread works just right. Walk into that home, and see someone who really could be grouchy, and--and fussy, and nasty, because that--that they're not out and able to run and dance and--and cut up, like many women. But she's happy to be here with her kind, and to be here with the Word of God, where It can be preached, and not any creeds tacked to It; just truly unadulterated Word of God, to worship in Spirit. Come in a little place like this, it's a little trailer where we meet together. It's the church. "Wherever two or three are assembled, I'm in their midst." We know You're here, Lord, and we worship You and we praise You.

L-105   I pray, God, that You'll keep sickness away from them. Keep the enemy across the river. May this great exodus, it may be in a minor form, but, Lord, someday it's going to grow. And I pray, Lord, that this little exodus here, that You--You will be with them as You did with Moses and them, as they crossed the--the Jordan, and, Joshua, as he went into the promised land.

L-106 And I pray that You'll help them, Lord, and keep their hearts genuine, true to You. And bless them as they teach the Word. And may they live long, happy lives. And someday, if we're around here, Lord, living on earth when You come, may there come a shout from this side of the branch out there, and the Church go up. Grant it, Lord. Because, somebody wasn't... was foolish enough to the world, to become a nut, to hold it together, Lord, until You come.

L-107   Then, as John of old, from the days gone by. As the little ladies and them sing, "We have separated." And how he had to be alone. But, when he did, the little church that he had drawed together... When he seen Jesus, he said, "Now my work is over. He increases; I decrease."
