Track 1
00:00 Everybody singing “None of These Things Move Me”
01:25 GCC starts speaking
Track 2
GCC continues.
00:35 GCC Pearl: “There is a deep settled peace today that you can have in your heart if you’ll just let God take over, and quit acting so much within self.”
02:36 GCC Pearl: “The best thing about being in the valley is that there is only one way to go, and that is up.”
02:47 GCC Pearl: “You’re just as much God’s child when you’re down as you are when you are up.”
02:56 GCC Pearl: “We need to be occupied and let God occupy us.”
03:28 GCC Pearl: “Not everything that comes by and whispers in your ear is God, but if you’ll be honest, you’ll find out if it’s God or not.”
Track 3
GCC continues.
00:21 GCC Pearl: “You can’t buy your way into glory, but I’ll tell you one thing; you’re not going to get there unless you pay the premium on salvation.”
00:35 GCC Pearl: “You don’t have to love everybody, as people say. It’s not a matter of having to. You can’t keep from loving people when God works you over and deals with you.”
00:57 GCC Pearl: Jesus told his disciples to love one another with the same love he had. They couldn’t do that before Pentecost, and neither can you.
01:41 GCC Pearl: “Nobody would do anything wrong if they knew what they were doing. People don’t know what they’re doing. Even those who killed Jesus didn’t know what they were doing. God help us to know what we are doing.”
02:33 GCC Pearl: “If you’ll get down on your knees and get in touch with God, you can make anybody have peace with you.”
03:26 GCC Pearl: “I want you to hate me the way I hate you, and love me the way I love you. If you do that, we won’t have any trouble at all.”
03:38 GCC reads from 1John, chapter 4.

Track 4
GCC continues reading from 1John 4.
01:37 GCC Pearl: “You are going to be made perfect in love, or you’re going to be left here when Jesus comes.”
04:10 GCC Pearl: “We can’t see glorification until we are glorified.”
Track 5
GCC continues.
00:30 GCC Pearl: “There is poison in most every faith in the world…. I don’t want the poison; I want the truth.”
00:55 “The truth is that Jesus being born into this world is not what’s going to save you. And if you don’t believe in the virgin birth, you won’t be saved, though. And then, if you don’t believe that he was crucified for you, you won’t be saved. You’ve got to believe that, and yet, that won’t save you, ‘cause the Devil doesn’t believe that; he knows all that happened. Then, if you believe that he was resurrected, that won’t do it, either. The Devil knows he came forth. Even the Romans [the soldiers guarding the tomb] knew all that. Then, if you don’t believe he went back to the Father, you can’t be saved then, but even that, itself, won’t save you.
“Then the next thing is, and the important thing is, is to believe that he came back! Somebody might say, “But we’re still looking for Jesus.” I didn’t say Jesus came back; I said Christ came back. Amen! ‘Christ in us is the hope of glory.’ He said, ‘I’ll come and take my abode. A little while, and I am with you, and then a little while I’ll be gone, and then a little while and I’ll come and be with you, and I’ll be with you forever.’ He came back! And if you don’t have him in you today, you’re not going to be saved. Because why? ‘He ever liveth to make intercession for us.’ And ‘we are justified by his death,’ and ‘we are saved by his life,’ ‘seeing that he ever liveth’ to make these intercessions.
“So it’s the life of Christ in us that’s the hope of glory, and if we don’t have that life in us, we can believe all we want to [but we will not be saved]. And you can even believe that, and be lost. We can believe that he comes back, and we can believe that he comes and speaks in tongues, and we can receive the experience of him coming and speaking in tongues, and still be lost.
“What’s going to save you anyway? [Peter] said, ‘Save yourself from this untoward generation!’ ‘Save yourselves from it!’ We’ve got to come out and be separated, and obey God, and be obedient to Him, and stay in touch with him, and every time there’s a failure or anything not satisfaction [with God], let him make intercession – continuously. If he was to give up that job, we’d all perish. The first time you did a thing or said a word, and you did anything displeasing to God,

it would all be over. He’s right there. He’s got one hand down here reaching for you, and got a-hold of the Father with the other one.”
04:04 GCC Pearl: “God’s children are all the same. We can divide them up [with denominations]; we can put a bunch of sheep over here in this pasture, and a bunch over here, but when the chief shepherd comes, he’s going to holler for all of them.”
Track 6
GCC continues.
00:20 STORY about Uncle Joe (“Hilliard”) telling about a man who had cancer, and some folk came and prayed for him, saying, “If it is your will, O God, heal him.” Uncle Joe was glad no one prayed for him like that. He knew it was God’s will to heal him. He just had to make things right in his spirit and then contact God for the healing God wants His children to have.
02:00 Uncle Joe testifieds.
UJ Pearl: “God is real at all times. It’s just easier to realize it when you’re on the bottom. There’s no foolishness down in the valley.”
04:00 UJ Pearl: “We never know what we’re doing when we obey God’s will, or how many people we are helping.”
04:50 Earl P testifies.
Track 7
Earl continues.
00:37 Earl Pearl: Jesus is not trying to press or knock your door down, but he’s there, and willing, and wanting to come in.”
02:00 Earl Pearl: “The only way that I feel like I can bless another individual is to get yourself out of the way and right in the sight of God in everything.”
Track 8
Earl continues.
02:20 Aunt Leatha testifies.
03:20 “Brenda called me yesterday. . . . Clyde is about to die.”
03:48 “Raymond [her brother from Texas] came by [to see me.] . . . It’s like he wanted something.” With tears, she asked for prayer and wept deeply during prayer time.
03:58 Leatha Pearl: “It’s too late after they die. It’s too late to help your family members.”

Track 10
Prayer time continues.
01:40 GCC refers to his joy at having his and Martha’s children being in the meeting.
03:06 GCC Pearl: “Is there anything you want to be other than what God wants you to be?”
04:00 GCC Pearl: “Do everything you know is right, and leave off anything you have a doubt about.”
04:10 UJ Pearl: “We come down here [to these meetings] to be judged. Judgment begins at the house of God.” GCC adds: “And if we judge ourselves, we will not be judged.”
Track 11
GCC continues.
00:50 Coy testifies again about giving food to a hungry woman.
01:35 GCC talks about being thankful to God for supplying food for people around the world and praying for those who are hungry.
02:00 Uncle Joe asks for prayer because he is going to see his brother Raymond. “He had the same training as I did. He knows.” (Raymond is in North Carolina; Uncle Joe never traveled to Texas to see him.)
03:10 Martha Clark Pearl: “It’s too late when [the ones you love] are in the grave. Now’s the time to do what you’re going to do.”
03:15 Uncle Joe mentions visiting his brother Fenner before he died.
03:40 Earl Pearl: “It doesn’t take much to hinder you and your freedom in the Lord.”
Track 12
Earl continues.
00:13 Earl Pearl: “It’s so wonderful to be able to feel the humility of God.”
00:32 Earl Pearl: “They may say you’re simple-minded and an old fogey, but it is so wonderful to be free in your soul.”
00:50 Earl Pearl: “It’s so wonderful to be in the presence of God and be able to feast off that big table the Lord has prepared. There’s plenty of foods.”
01:03 Earl Pearl: “Hard-hearted, we’re not going to go anywhere like that; we’re not going to please God like that.”
01:22 Earl Pearl: “There’s nothing hard about [the life of holiness] when things are right with God.”
02:01 Earl Pearl: “You can only offer [to others] what you have.”
03:00 UJ Pearl: “It’s better to feel nothing between you and the Lord than it is to sing about it.”
03:30 Aunt Leatha speaks.
04:00 Earl tells a recent dream about being in a prayer meeting praying earnestly and
5 of 6
GCC laid hands on him in the dream. Earl woke up speaking in tongues. “It’s the best feeling in the world.”
Earl Pearl: “It means something to cry out and be persistent with God from the depth of your heart.”
Track 13
Earl continues.
00:30 Aunt Leatha finishes her testimony by telling of her dream, when God spoke to her and said, “I’m not running any funny farm here.” She understood Him to mean that He was serious about His work. She also woke up speaking in tongues.
00:45 Aunt Leatha Pearl: “God means business in this place.”
01:15 GCC tells about a girl who called him the previous day saying she was battling

02:40 GCC speaks.
03:20 GCC Pearl: “The greatest responsibility you have is to be free in God, and He’ll give you understanding if you need it.”
