<TITLE>02. Par 8-16</TITLE>L-8 But with the Full Gospel Business Men, it's been an open door for me. When they come in, then I get all my brethren together, and we--we can associate; maybe two pastors might had a feeling, or something. This has been a great open door, and I've traveled internationally for them now for years, speaking in their chapters.

L-9   And Yuma has not a very big town, though I suppose it's much bigger than the one that I come from, Jeffersonville, Indiana. But I met your chairman here. The... he was... and the different ones of your chapter. And I think you got a wonderful opportunity here.

L-10 I was just thinking, tonight, as I set here and looked at the people. You know, we're pretty soon going to run out of this privilege. The World Council of Churches will soon swallow us up. I presume that most of my audience tonight is made up of Pentecostals, and Baptists, and--and Church of God, and them which are outside of that World Council of Churches. And--and they, that's just what they played on, and that's what the Bible said they would do. And we're warned of that, so let's stay clear of it. And so as it was speaking tonight about, in the song, about the near Coming of the Lord, it may be closer than we think it is.

L-11   And I think it's when we can get together with this type of fellowship, it does something to us, that draws us closer to each other. And as we get closer to each other, we also get closer to God, for Jesus said, "Insomuch as you have done unto the least of these My little ones, you have done it to Me."

L-12 I've got a little boy in here somewhere, I suppose, Joseph. I got Billy setting here. Two daughters setting back there, and a wife. Now if anybody had something that was... you wanted to do real nice, I would much rather you would do it to my children than to do it to me. And so I feel maybe, as a parent... And He's the source of parenthood. I think that that's the way God feels. If we should... We serve Him as we serve each other. That's how we serve God.

L-13   And knowing this to be the truth, then I think that every time this chapter meets, being it stands inter-evangelical. There's really no certain doctrine that the Full Gospel Business Men stands for. They just stand for the full Gospel. And if a man differs, that's perfectly all right. It's all right. We have fellowship, anyhow. So I think that it would be a... If I lived here in this city, I believe, when that chapter met, if there was any possible way at all, I'd be there and have everybody there I could get there. That's right, because it's a--it's a thing that strengthens us together.

L-14   I live in Tucson, and I'm constantly speaking in that chapter, all the time. And in Phoenix, since I've moved to Arizona, I'm at Phoenix every time I get a chance to get away and get to--to Phoenix. Because, and try to bring somebody with me, invite somebody, get other ministers.
And say, "Well, well, you see, Brother Branham, we don't."

L-15 I say, "Don't matter what you... Let's just go with me. Go as a--a friend, with me."

L-16 And just get them there for a little bit. That's all you have to do. And they find out, every man's heart is hungering for fellowship. And we should be doing that way. It's a great end-time sign. God bless this chapter. May it--may it exist until the Lord Jesus comes to receive us up in Glory, is my prayer.
