Just sit around over there, and sit down at Jacob's well, as it was, and rejoice together, and have a lot of time of fellowship. Won't have any less time with the next one. After this life is ended, I just want a thousand years with each one of you. I can't do it now.īut I'll make an appointment with you. You know, I'd like to come out to your house, and visit with you, and enjoy some good old-fashioned southern cooking. I want to make an appointment with every one of you. I'd say, "Well, Dad, we won't have any time to go swimming." He said, "You can do that when the harvest time is over." Well, that's right.Īnd I'm so glad that one day harvest is going to be ended. pitch hay till plumb dark, then we had to milk the cows, and feed, and so forth. Through the week, the harvest time was on and so forth. On Sunday, all of us boys wanted to go swimming. And then, I know that all who believe on Him and accept Him, I'll have all eternity to fellowship with every one of them.Ĥ But it's working time now. I either have to be a servant of God or a servant to the people. I love people and fellowship, I guess, as good as any person could do it.īut I find this, that if I'm out among the people, I'm away from God. And many times people has thought that I was a complete isolationist, because that I didn't get out among the people. Usually Sunday afternoons is give to me for a little time of fellowship with the people, to kind of relax and rejoice with them. Walking to the platform and just start praying for the sick is quite a bit different than what it is when you go there and try to preach a little while, perhaps an altar call, and then pray for the sick, and line the people up, and other things goes with it. Of course, I can put more time to it and studying. And usually the manager of the meeting does the speaking, and I just confine my ministry altogether to praying for the sick. And we know His promises are true.Īnd we're expecting God to do some great healings out there this week also-healing the people from their sicknesses.ģ Now, that is my ministry, is to pray for the sick. But when we all pray together, that's when God will go to moving, when we all go to praying. For that's the only way that we can have it, is when you pray. And everything's just going fine.Ģ And now, we're hoping this next week, the Lord willing, to have some great services out there with the Lord's blessings on us, as you pray for us. It's been certainly a privilege to serve out there these last two nights, the reverence of the people and the attention, undivided attention that the people give. Kind of a little warm, but we can put up with that, I believe, for a few moments, as we fellowship around His Word, and be a partaker of the sufferings of the cross, the glory of God, and the resurrection that follows the cross.Īnd now, we are very thankful for the attendance that we've had out at the stadium. Certainly a privilege to be here this afternoon in this lovely auditorium packed out with people, worshippers of the Lord Jesus Christ. You can find this sermon at ġ Thank you very much.
