<TITLE>03. Par 17-24</TITLE>L-17 Everybody in the Bible was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ. And the Bible said, that, "Whosoever shall take one Word out of It, or add one word to It, in any way, woe unto them." So I have enough I have to fear about, besides adding something or taking It from the Scripture.
It's got me in trouble many times, but I stay right there. He is my defense. It's caused me to separate from a many a friend. They've parted from me because of that. But just as long as I keep this Friend here, the Lord Jesus! And He is the Word. No matter, rugged be the path, hard is the way, He come the same way. "And if they call the Master of the house 'Beelzebub,' how much more will they call those of His disciples!"

L-18   Now the Lord be with you all and bless you through the week, and give you the best that I can pray for God to give you, is my prayer.
Now we're going to read from the precious Word.

L-19 And--and now remember, again, Wednesday night... Is there any mid-week prayer service or anything? [Brother Neville says, "Tuesday, cottage prayer meeting, Monday and Tuesday night."--Ed.] Monday and Tuesday night is cottage prayer meetings. I guess the people knows.

L-20   Brother Junior Jackson, is he in the building? I... Brother Jackson, I don't... [Brother Neville says, "Yes, right over here."--Ed.] He is here, Brother Jackson. All right. I--I... Another Brother Jackson here, I...
And Brother Don Ruddell, is he in the building tonight? Brother Don, over here.
And many of the other brethren, I see the brethren here from Arkansas, and Louisiana, and--and different places around the country.

L-21 And I have some, an elderly brethren here tonight, too. I have Brother Thomas Kidd setting over here to the right, be eighty-four years old in a few days. And about three or four years ago, operated for prostrate trouble, and was dying with cancer. The doctor had just laid him back to die. And I liked to ruined my old car, getting to him, up in Ohio. And the Lord Jesus healed him sound and well. And here, he and his little companion, tonight. And many of you know them; maybe some don't. But here is a man and woman that was preaching the Gospel before I was born. Think of that, and I'm an old man. See? Now, and I look at them, and them still going, then I take courage.
All of us know Brother Bill Dauch setting here in the corner.

L-22   And, oh, how thankful we are for all of God's great blessings! May it continue to be with us until that last trumpet blows and, you know, "We'll be caught up together, to meet the Lord in the air." Think of it! Missing people, they can't see you no more, but you're getting together with the rest of the group.
"They which are alive and remain to the Coming of the Lord shall not prevent, or hinder," the word is, "those which are asleep," not dead. No, Christians don't die. They're just taking a little rest, see. That's all. Oh, my! "And the trump of God shall sound; and the dead in Christ shall rise first," appear to many. And all at once, you happen to stand and look, and, well, there's a brother, and you know it ain't long. In a few minutes, "We'll be changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye. And together with them, be missing on earth, caught up to meet the Lord in the air."

L-23   And, to think, with all that we have seen in the Scriptures, and the clear-cut vindications of the hour that we're living in, it could happen before the service ends, just think of that, this night.
Then, by that, we approach His Word, while we turn to Hebrews the 13th chapter, and we are going to read from the 10th to the 14th verse. Of Hebrews 10 and... or, or pardon me. Hebrews 13:10 to 14.

L-24 Now, as I have said, we, when we pledge allegiance to our flag, which is fine, I... We always stand while we pledge allegiance. And all other great events, we--we stand in respect to, or salute, and so forth, to our nation. And when they're playing The Star-Spangled Banner, we stand at attention.
