<TITLE>38. Par 368-377</TITLE>L-368   Like a story I read, one time. There was a doctor, he was a fine man, and he loved poor people. And every time the poor couldn't pay their debts, you know what he done? He just signed it in red ink, said, "You're forgiven." Finally, the doctor died. And when the doctor died, his wife was arrogant. She was different, like the church today. She went and ground them all together. She brought lawsuit, and throwed them all in the court, "You're going to pay these bills, anyhow!"

L-369 But the judge picked up some of the receipts, said, "Come here, madam." He said, "Is this red ink your husband's signature?"
She said, "Yes, sir, it is."

L-370 Said, "There ain't a court in the land can sue them. They are free."

L-371 Let them say what they want to. He signed His Word with His Own Blood. There ain't nothing can take it away from us, brother. We are free.

L-372 Let us pray. Surely you... [A brother in the congregation gives an exhortation. Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] Amen.

L-373   Now with your heads bowed. If I understand, one raised up in the midst of them, in the days of the king, and gave a prophecy, where they should meet the enemy and destroy them. Now, if I understand that right, there is one place to meet your enemy, that's at the Word. That's where he's trying to meet you. You meet him there with THUS SAITH THE LORD.

L-374 How many in here, with your heads bowed, (it's so close to noon, I haven't time for an altar call but just this) would raise your hands, with your heads bowed, your eyes closed, "I want to be a part of Him. I want to join myself with Him and His Word. No matter what comes or goes, what the world says, I want to be part of Him," raise your hand and say, "I do"? God bless you. A hundred percent, I believe.

L-375   With our heads bowed, while we're thinking, let's quietly hum this little song now. Everyone praying.
Blest be the tie that binds (that's the Word)
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred mind
Is like to that Above. ("As I and My Father are one, you are one with Him, too.")
When we asunder part,
It gives us inward pain;
But we shall still be joined in heart,
And hope to meet again.

L-376 Next Saturday morning at Flagstaff, Arizona, the Lord willing, I hope to meet with you again. Do you love Him? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-377   Now I'm just going to leave it like that, see. The Bible said, "As many as believed Him, and as many as received the Word." See? I can't say who is or who isn't, that's up to you. But if you're holding onto some little creed, some of you Methodists, Baptists, or Pentecostals, or whoever you may be, that's holding onto something contrary to that Word, please, my dear people, turn from it, today. Won't you? Turn from it, and turn to Him. Don't let one Word ever break you from the fellowship of Christ. May His Spirit grant this.
