Our Lord is here tonight. Many are standing, been standing for quite awhile, no doubt. And I feel sorry for you, to have to stand like that. Someday, there’s some of the brothers out on the field that…well, they—they probably was a little more prosperous in the financial ways than I was, and they got great big tents. And many of them now are not using them. So several of them has called me and told me I could have their tent, if I wanted to use it. Some of them seat as many at fifteen thousand. I was talking to Brother Reed; I’d like to bring that right outside of Jonesboro and pitch it for about a month, somewhere out there, have a good old fashioned meeting. We get all the churches everywhere to cooperate, no matter who they are, let them cooperate. Now, course, we know there’ll be many that won’t, and many that would not cooperate. But there’s some that doesn’t believe in Divine healing. They’ve never had a touch of God; they can’t believe. They just can’t believe. There’s nothing there to believe with. See? There’s just…If there’s no life, there’s just no life. That’s—that’s just it. So you, well, you don’t want to argue with the people. The Bible said just let them alone. We’ve had them all through the ages, started back there with Cain. They come all down through the age, and now the whole vine is going to seed, and we’re…Sure, it’ll be these days, so, be very, very ecclesiastical, very orthodox too, in belief: but just simple, strictly, unbelievers, born in the world for that purpose, and couldn’t believe if they had to; the Bible said so. And that’s the Word of God: borned in the world, foreordained to this condemnation. So we just have to have that. But where the carcass is the eagles will be gathered. Where God is moving people come to worship God. It’s always been.
