If they got a post of duty, stand at that. That you stand to your post of duty at your church, wherever you go to, and pay your tithing into it, and you love your pastor, and pray for him. And if you need to be prayed for, ask him; he's a man of God; he will pray for you. And He will answer his prayer same as He will mine or anyone else's, 'cause after all, it's your own faith in God that does the work. That's right, just exactly.

165 RESPECTS JEFF.IN V-13 N-4 61-1015E

If you can't respect the man, respect the office he holds in God. That's exactly right, see, respect him. If a minister comes up, your pastor, always respect him. I've heard congregations talk about their pastor, how just talk about him, run him down, ridicule him. How is that pastor ever going to do anything for you? He can't do it. You--you don't, you don't re... I don't say this church, but I mean churches I have seen, that if you... You've got to love your pastor. You've got to know that he's a human being, but yet God has made him His pastor. The Holy Ghost has made him overseer, then you've got to respect him in that manner. And no matter what the pastor's done, if you respect him in your heart, as God's servant, God will respect you for doing it.

I'd stay in my church--don't leave your church. No, sir. You stay right in your church, wherever you're at, and love your pastor, and love all the members, and everything else. Love that. But, oh, stay in there not to shine with some worldly thing, not to set something different, but glow with the glory of God in humility--to be willing to take the reproach if they call you old-fashion, and you're...

E-39 YE.MUST.BE.BORN.AGAIN GREENVILLE.SC 58-0619B

Lot of times these people passing through the country, called Divine healers, people get--take them for an example. You better get your mind off of them. That's right. You keep your mind on Christ; He's the one to keep your mind on, not on your pastor. Love your pastor and respect him; he's a honorable man, a man of God, truly. But keep your mind on Christ and your affection set on Christ. Just respect him as what he is, as a reverend, because he represents God to you.

LOVING HAND OF GOD.....

7-1 THIRD.EXODUS JEFF.IN V-2 N-21 63-0630M

God, You got ways of doing things that we don't understand, and You pressed them, no home in Germany, everything taken away from them, also in Italy, Russia: no place to go, and they were sent back to their homeland just to fulfill the Word.

Oh, the loving hand of God. How, sometimes it looks cruel, the way that people suffer, but it's still, it's the tender hand of Jehovah leading His little children. We thank You, Lord.

E-24 BELIEVEST.THOU.THIS? MINNEAPOLIS.MN 50-0716

He wasn't just a righteous man, or a good man. He was the Son of God. No one, no Angel, no nothing else could have ever took the place but He. And He was willing to come down for us.

And when He was born, He born on the earth here, and come by the way of a stable, and went out the way of capital punishment. And yet, we complain sometimes because we have a few trials and troubles. Well, look what He--what happened to Him.

E-18 AT.THY.WORD.LORD PHOENIX.AZ 48-0305

Then when he come out here to the side of the mount... [Blank spot on tape--Ed.] Isn't that something? I believe the apostle said that our trials are better than gold to us. Think of it. God might've let you get sick, in order that you might be a testimony, that He might heal you, that you can stand on His Word. Then when you reach the opposition, you can say, "I know." Beyond any shadow of doubt, you're... Oh, my. Witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria. A witness is somebody who's really done something, been somewhere, and seen something. Is that right?

E-57 BELIEVEST.THOU.THIS? MINNEAPOLIS.MN 50-0716

That's just the way it happens. When you get the Holy Ghost, the first thing the devil comes right along for temptations. When you claim your healing, watch the devil come right along to back her and say it's wrong. That's the time to stand, because you don't testify of what you see or feel. You testify of what you believe. That's right. Stay with it.

E-62 EXPECTATIONS CLEVELAND.OH 50-0810

Tonight, friends, we have wearies and trials, and the last river we come to is going to be Jordan. Is that right? I think someday our little home there, don't get to stay in it much. My wife's almost a stranger to me. My baby one time when I was coming in, didn't even know me, was scared of me. I'd changed. I lost my hair and everything else, and my shoulders was stooped. Wasn't her daddy. I thought, "O God, but I'm on the battlefield."

E-22 TAKE.THE.ROD.GATHER.PEOPLE CLEVELAND.OH 50-0827E

Isn't that just like the church today? Come out of Egypt, come out of the world, out here in this glorious Church of the living God, the first-born, and 'cause we little trials, God asked us to believe and to hold on. We still complain about it.

LOVE LITTLE CHILDREN.....

E-38 IT.SHALL.BE.EVEN.AS.IT.WAS.TOLD.ME CLEVELAND.OH 50-0818

I'd go down to where all of them little kids was, you know. And I'd give them money. Oh, my. I'd have a string of kids. Oh, they were... There was a little group meets me out here every night, the sweetest little fellows. And I just love little children.

And--and the little Finnish girls, they'd pull her little skirts out, like this, and say, "Kiitos." That means "Thank you." See? I had given some money, you know, and they'd say, "Kiitos." And I'd seen her coming up to me. And she got close, and I wondered, "What does she want?"

And she got right up close to me. She took her little braces, stood. And she... Them little baby blue eye looked up at me; her little lips was quivering. And she got ahold of my coat. She pulled it up close to her, kissed my coat, let it drop back. She got her little crutch, moved back, and looked her little lips trembling, pulled her little skirt out, and said, "Kiitos." Oh, my.

E-2 SHOW.US.THE.FATHER CLEVELAND.OH 50-0819

Yes, sweetheart. She has eye trouble, don't she, mother? She's extremely nervous too, isn't she? Isn't that right? You're suffering with a back trouble. Isn't that right? Yes, ma'am. Well now, you believe me what I tell you, will you do that? You go home testifying that you're healed, and about your daughter too, and everything will be all right for you, if you'll believe it. God bless you, sister.

Now, the little sweet little thing come by waving her little hand. Well, I just love little children with all...

E-51 THREE.WITNESSES ERIE.PA 51-0728

And I looked, and a door opened over here at the rest room, and a little Finnish girl stepped out. And I'll never forget that look of that little thing.

Now, I just love little children; they used to give me some of that Finnish money, and after--after they'd all get in the auditorium, I'd go down the street, and find them little Finn children, you know, and I'd give them this--this money to buy candy with. And I'd have a string of kids two city blocks long following me nearly.

23 ENTICING.SPIRITS JEFF.IN DE 79-112 55-0724

In a little closet, way yonder in the north lands You promised this child to me. Father, may Your blessings rest upon Him. Joseph, my boy, I give you to God, and may your life be a blessing. May you be a prophet, Joseph; may God's grace rest...?... May the God of your father, the Lord Jesus Christ ever bless you and make your life a blessing to others. In Jesus Christ's Name I bless this child. Amen. [Blank spot on tape--Ed.]

Love little children, something about the little fellows that each mother wanting her child to be blessed. Now, that's the way our heavenly Father is to us adults this morning; He wants each of us to be blessed. He presents us before certain things, just hands it out to us, as to say, "Here, I want you to be blessed, My child." Isn't He wonderful? So we can appreciate a kind heavenly Father like that.

E-100 THIRSTING.FOR.LIFE INDIANAPOLIS.IN 57-0613

God bless you, sister. No ma'am, I don't. No. No. Go on your road rejoicing. God bless your heart. Amen. Oh, that's... I just love it. Don't you like old people? I just love them. They're just second children. I love little children and old people. I love everybody, but I... It looked like they're just--just like little children, kind of helpless like.
