Joh 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Joh 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Joh 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Joh 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Joh 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Joh 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Joh 14:20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Joh 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
*…PUT ALL YOUR HOPES ON HIM, FOR HE'S THE
ONLY FOUNDATION.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
22 Oh, let me persuade you, in
Christ's Name. You precious people here, put all your
hopes on Him, for He's the only foundation. For there's coming a
shaking. Democracy's shook to pieces. Kingdoms is shook to pieces. Nations is
shook to pieces. We're at the end of all things. "But we receive a Kingdom that cannot be
moved; steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the mercies of God." Oh, I love that. I'm so glad tonight to be a
Christian. I--I--I don't know what I would do if I wasn't a Christian. I'd
probably be a suicide case if I wasn't a Christian. For knowing and seeing
these things, and--and then with the gift that the Lord has given me to foresee
and understand what He will let me do, just let me see it... I know it's just
across the horizon yonder. See? See it coming as close as it is, then it makes
me scream with all that's in me. Oh, flee the wrath that is to come.
*HE WAS MADE TO WANT TO BE COMFORTED.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
34 So if man... He was made to want to be comforted. So then if he doesn't accept God's way, then he'll take a way for himself. And he'll try to substitute something to take the place of that Holy Spirit. Oh, I want you to listen to it. A man or a woman that will not accept the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, will try to comfort themselves with some violent substitute that Satan will present to them. Satan's just got plenty of substitutes. But why do we have to have a substitute, when the Pentecostal skies are full of real? Why would I eat from a garbage can when a clean table's setting full of choicey food? There would be something mentally wrong with me if I did that. Now, what a pity it is to see that man will try to substitute something to take that place. Sometimes he'll try to ease his conscience by going out...
*GOD DOESN'T WANT HIS CHILDREN TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
48 …..The Lord's Body is the Church.
And we do not have spiritual discernment enough to care for one another. How
can we care then if we can't care for each other? How can we care for the lost
and the dying? What hospital can we take them to? "Cast our cares upon Him, for He careth
for you."
Man takes this short routes, and what makes them do that
is because God, when He made man, He didn't make man to do that. He made man to
be happy, to have satisfaction, to be comforted. Man... God doesn't want His children to be uncomfortable. You would not...
*GOD GAVE US SOMETHING TO COMFORT US: THE
HOLY SPIRIT, GOD'S COMFORTER.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
38 And sometimes to be popular, they'll watch television on the--and on the streets, and smoking, the lowest thing that women has done in the twentieth century, when women started smoking cigarettes. That's the greatest fifth columnist this nation ever had. It breaks morals; it--it--it sends these institutions out here full of insanity people; it sends the hospitals full of tubercular, cancer cases, and everything developing from it, and yet they do it to get comfort.
God gave us something to comfort us: the Holy
Spirit, God's Comforter.
These things are only substitute that'll finally lead to a place rioting, and
cheating, and stealing, and doing things wrong.
*BUT THEY'LL NEVER MEAN NOTHING TO YOU
UNTIL GOD REVEALS THEM TO YOU.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
33 Now, you might've heard these Scriptures before, but let's take heed to
Them. Are They true? They are more true than you're setting in this church
tonight. They're more truer than this is the state of Arizona. They're more truer than you are a live human being. They're
God's eternal Words, and His promises. And all heavens and earth will
pass away, but them Words shall never pass away. They
have meaning, the--meaning sublime. But they'll
never mean nothing to you until God reveals Them to you. How beautiful it is to
know that He cares for us.
*HE WAS MADE TO WANT TO BE COMFORTED. SO
THEN IF HE DOESN'T ACCEPT GOD'S WAY, THEN HE'LL TAKE A WAY FOR HIMSELF.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
34 So if man... He was made to want to be
comforted. So then if he doesn't accept God's way, then he'll take a way for
himself. And he'll try to substitute something to take the place of that

*GOD GAVE US SOMETHING TO COMFORT US: THE

LEAD TO A PLACE RIOTING…
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
35 Like mother sometime will try to teach their young girls to be popular, to make... They... Their whole ambition
is to make that young girl a--a ballet dancer or something. And you know that
you're giving her strychnine; you're giving her arsenic that'll nothing but
break her heart and send her to a devil's grave, or a devil's hell and a
sinner's grave, for there's nothing good can come out of it. But you try to
think, "If my daughter could be such-and-such..." And you'll send
them over to the--even to as much as to our YWCAs, where they practice
rock-and-roll. And the old people will get out for a barn dance, or some kind
of a hoedown.
36 When they get around about
thirty years old, they get the blues. They think that, "Then because that
I have gotten this old, I haven't sowed enough wild oats yet." And
they--they try to sometimes cheat in their
marriage vows, both men and women; they're both guilty. What's the matter? It's something that they are lacking.
Sometimes they'll take to
drinking. And after they get older, why, they'll go down to the barroom,
and they'll start to drinking. And when they drink, and try to drink it away.
Just a few drinks, and--and then it brings some more drinks, and after while
they end up an alcoholic.
38 And sometimes to be popular, they'll watch television on the--and on
the streets, and smoking, the lowest thing that women has done in the twentieth
century, when women started smoking cigarettes.
That's the greatest fifth columnist this nation ever had. It breaks morals;
it--it--it sends these institutions out here full of insanity people; it sends
the hospitals full of tubercular, cancer cases, and everything developing from
it, and yet they do it to get comfort.

Spirit, God's Comforter. These things are only substitute that'll finally lead

*THE ONLY COMFORTER, THE ONLY ONE WHO
CAN--KNOWS HOW TO CARE FOR US, FOR WE CAN'T EVEN CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
46 …..You think you're getting by with something, but finally you'll end up with a pistol to the side of your head, and blow your brains out, or jump from some scaffold somewhere, or kill yourself, take poison, dope, or something, and go into a miserable condition, and die and go to a devil's hell, because you've rejected the-- the real cure.
We got a cure. Calvary's that cure. Christ is the Cure. And He is the only cure, the only
foundation, the only way. There's things that you can get from Christ
that you can't get from nowhere else. Christ is the way; not a way, it's the
way. The church is fine; we love them; but the church
is not the way. Jesus is the Way. Can't cast your cares upon the church,
the church has no salvation. It can only point you to Jesus, Who is the only
Salvation. He is the Way, the Truth, the Life. The only way to the Father is
through Jesus. The only Comforter, the only One Who
can--knows how to care for us, for we can't even care for one another.
*AND THE CHURCH IS THE LIFE OF GOD ON
EARTH, AND HE WANTS TO COMFORT HIS CHURCH.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
52 And the Church is the Life of God on earth, and He wants to comfort His Church.
And how it would be, if you
knowed that wiping the fevered brow of your child would comfort it, and it
would refuse, and spit in your face, and reach and get a bottle of whiskey or
something to take instead--instead of the touch of the mother's hand or
something.
That's what we do when we turn to
other remedies. There's many remedies, but one Cure. Christ is the Cure,
and the only Cure in this. He cares for us. He loves us, and He wants us to come to Him. God
made us that way, that holy thing in us that wants to be comforted.
HE.CARETH.FOR.YOU_ PHOENIX.AZ V-14 N-5 TUESDAY_ 60-0301
55 God gave man a wife to comfort him, to touch him. And any man knows,
that's got a good wife, there's something about a good wife that can... A man
be upset in his business or--or his walks of life, and can come home; no
matter, there's no one, no doctor...
It is that way with me. When I
come from overseas or somewhere, and I'm so nervous and upset, and loss of
sleep. And--and hear the cry, and seeing the little hungry children on the
street, and, oh, crying and going on, it just kills me. Then when I come home,
if wife will set down on the arm of the chair, put her arm around me, and say,
"Oh, Bill, I--I understand it, you know."
And just a few little pats from the wife mean so
much: same thing, a husband to a wife. That's the way God want it to be. And
when we substitute something for that, and you'll get some other woman to try
to take that place, or some other man, you see what you do.
*HOW COMFORTABLE IT IS TO SEE THE
ONCOMING JUDGMENTS, AND FEEL THAT COMFORT FEELING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
THE.ONCOMING.STORM_ PHOENIX.AZ V-15 N-2 MONDAY_ 60-0229
104 Oh, how comfortable it is to see the oncoming
judgments, and feel that comfort feeling of the Holy Spirit. Hear them
talk of atomic bombs, and just think what's happened, a peace that passes
understanding. Why, the bomb won't no more go out of
the gun until we'll be in the Presence of Jesus with Eternal Life; we old
people, back young again; the babies, up to an age with no more death or
sorrow. Oh, what a wonderful thing. You mean a man would refuse to come
out and walk in that? There's something wrong with him.
Finally, if he doesn't get the sunlight, he turns pale.
He gets real pale, sick sets in on him.
THE.ONCOMING.STORM_ PHOENIX.AZ V-15 N-2 MONDAY_ 60-0229
106 That's what's the matter with
the world today. That's what's the matter with the most of our churches today.
We are becoming anemia. We need a blood transfusion. Pale, because we are
failing, our spiritual health is failing us. We don't have the zeal no more to
hunt souls, to--to warn people, to get our neighbors, to get our friends, the
milkman, the paperboy. Whatever it is, get someone to the Lord Jesus. We're
pale, failing to walk out in the Light, which is our privilege, failing to
believe in the health of God by Divine healing.
