Date: December 7, 1975<\/span><\/p>\n

(Gary\u2019s CD-179, Reel 71)<\/span><\/p>\n

R71CD179AA<\/span><\/p>\n

Total Time: 63:30<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Track 1<\/span><\/p>\n

00:00 Everybody singing \u201cNone of These Things Move Me\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

01:25 GCC starts speaking<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 2<\/span><\/p>\n

GCC continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:35 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cThere is a deep settled peace today that you can have in your heart if you\u2019ll just let God take over, and quit acting so much within self.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

02:36 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cThe best thing about being in the valley is that there is only one way to go, and that is up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

02:47 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cYou\u2019re just as much God\u2019s child when you\u2019re down as you are when you are up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

02:56 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cWe need to be occupied and let God occupy us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

03:28 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cNot everything that comes by and whispers in your ear is God, but if you\u2019ll be honest, you\u2019ll find out if it\u2019s God or not.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 3<\/span><\/p>\n

GCC continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:21 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cYou can\u2019t buy your way into glory, but I\u2019ll tell you one thing; you\u2019re not going to get there unless you pay the premium on salvation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

00:35 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cYou don\u2019t have to love everybody, as people say. It\u2019s not a matter of having to. You can\u2019t keep from loving people when God works you over and deals with you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

00:57 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: Jesus told his disciples to love one another with the same love he had.\u00a0<\/span>They couldn\u2019t do that before Pentecost, and neither can you.<\/span><\/p>\n

01:41 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cNobody would do anything wrong if they knew what they were doing. People don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing. Even those who killed Jesus didn\u2019t know what they were doing. God help us to know what we are doing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

02:33 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIf you\u2019ll get down on your knees and get in touch with God, you can make anybody have peace with you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

03:26 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cI want you to hate me the way I hate you, and love me the way I love you. If you do that, we won\u2019t have any trouble at all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

03:38 GCC reads from 1John, chapter 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

2 of 6<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 4<\/span><\/p>\n

GCC continues reading from 1John 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

01:37\u00a0 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cYou are going to be made perfect in love, or you\u2019re going to be left here when Jesus comes.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

04:10\u00a0 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cWe can\u2019t see glorification until we are glorified.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 5<\/span><\/p>\n

GCC continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:30 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cThere is poison in most every faith in the world\u2026.\u00a0 I don\u2019t want the\u00a0<\/span>poison; I want the truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

00:55 \u201cThe truth is that Jesus being born into this world is not what\u2019s going to save you. And if you don\u2019t believe in the virgin birth, you won\u2019t be saved, though. And then, if you don\u2019t believe that he was crucified for you, you won\u2019t be saved. You\u2019ve got to believe that, and yet, that won\u2019t save you, \u2018cause the Devil doesn\u2019t believe <\/em>that; he knows <\/em>all that happened. Then, if you believe that he was resurrected, that won\u2019t do it, either. The Devil knows he came forth. Even the Romans [the soldiers guarding the tomb] knew all that. Then, if you don\u2019t believe he went back to the Father, you can\u2019t be saved then, but even that, itself, won\u2019t save you.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThen the next thing is, and the important thing is, is to believe that he came back! Somebody might say, \u201cBut we\u2019re still looking for Jesus.\u201d I didn\u2019t say Jesus came back; I said Christ came back. Amen! \u2018Christ in us is the hope of glory.\u2019 He said, \u2018I\u2019ll come and take my abode. A little while, and I am with you, and then a little while I\u2019ll be gone, and then a little while and I\u2019ll come and be with you, and I\u2019ll be with you forever.\u2019 He came back! And if you don\u2019t have him in you today, you\u2019re not going to be saved. Because why? \u2018He ever liveth to make intercession for us.\u2019 And \u2018we are justified by his death,\u2019 and \u2018we are saved by his life,\u2019 \u2018seeing that he ever liveth\u2019 to make these intercessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s the life of Christ in us that\u2019s the hope of glory, and if we don\u2019t 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s going to save you anyway? [Peter] said, \u2018Save yourself from this untoward generation!\u2019 \u2018Save yourselves from it!\u2019 We\u2019ve 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\u2019s a failure or anything not satisfaction [with God], let him make intercession \u2013 continuously. If he was to give up that job, we\u2019d all perish. The first time you did a thing or said a word, and you did anything displeasing to God,<\/span><\/p>\n

3 of 6<\/span><\/p>\n

it would all be over. He\u2019s right there. He\u2019s got one hand down here reaching for you, and got a-hold of the Father with the other one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

04:04\u00a0 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cGod\u2019s 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\u2019s going to holler for all of them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 6<\/span><\/p>\n

GCC continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:20 STORY<\/strong> about Uncle Joe (\u201cHilliard\u201d) telling about a man who had cancer, and some folk came and prayed for him, saying, \u201cIf it is your will, O God, heal him.\u201d Uncle Joe was glad no one prayed for him like that. He knew it was God\u2019s 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.<\/span><\/p>\n

02:00 Uncle Joe testifieds.<\/span><\/p>\n

UJ Pearl:<\/u><\/strong> \u201cGod is real at all times. It\u2019s just easier to realize it when you\u2019re on the bottom. There\u2019s no foolishness down in the valley.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

04:00 UJ Pearl:<\/u><\/strong> \u201cWe never know what we\u2019re doing when we obey God\u2019s will, or how many people we are helping.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

04:50 Earl P testifies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 7<\/span><\/p>\n

Earl continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:37\u00a0 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: Jesus is not trying to press or knock your door down, but he’s there, and willing, and wanting to come in.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

02:00 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 8<\/span><\/p>\n

Earl continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

02:20\u00a0 Aunt Leatha testifies.<\/span><\/p>\n

03:20\u00a0 \u201cBrenda called me yesterday. . . . Clyde is about to die.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

03:48\u00a0 \u201cRaymond [her brother from Texas] came by [to see me.] . . .\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s like he wanted something.\u201d With tears, she asked for prayer and wept deeply during prayer time.<\/span><\/p>\n

03:58\u00a0 Leatha Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIt\u2019s too late after they die. It\u2019s too late to help your family members.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 9<\/span><\/p>\n

Prayer time continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

02:00 Angleen begins to sing \u201cTouching Jesus\u201d in the background.<\/span><\/p>\n

02:50 Coy talks about meeting a hungry lady and feeding her.<\/span><\/p>\n

4 of 6<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 10<\/span><\/p>\n

Prayer time continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

01:40 GCC refers to his joy at having his and Martha\u2019s children being in the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

03:06 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIs there anything you want to be other than what God wants you to be?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

04:00 GCC Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cDo everything you know is right, and leave off anything you have a doubt about.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

04:10 UJ Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cWe come down here [to these meetings] to be judged. Judgment begins at the house of God.\u201d GCC adds: \u201cAnd if we judge ourselves, we will not be judged.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 11<\/span><\/p>\n

GCC continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:50 Coy testifies again about giving food to a hungry woman.<\/span><\/p>\n

01:35 GCC talks about being thankful to God for supplying food for people around the world and praying for those who are hungry.<\/span><\/p>\n

02:00 Uncle Joe asks for prayer because he is going to see his brother Raymond. \u201cHe had the same training as I did. He knows.\u201d (Raymond is in North Carolina; Uncle Joe never traveled to Texas to see him.)<\/span><\/p>\n

03:10 Martha Clark Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIt\u2019s too late when [the ones you love] are in the grave. Now\u2019s the time to do what you\u2019re going to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

03:15 Uncle Joe mentions visiting his brother Fenner before he died.<\/span><\/p>\n

03:40 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t take much to hinder you and your freedom in the Lord.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 12<\/span><\/p>\n

Earl continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:13\u00a0 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIt\u2019s so wonderful to be able to feel the humility of God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

00:32 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cThey may say you\u2019re simple-minded and an old fogey, but it is so wonderful to be free in your soul.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

00:50 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIt\u2019s so wonderful to be in the presence of God and be able to feast off that big table the Lord has prepared. There\u2019s plenty of foods.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

01:03 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cHard-hearted, we\u2019re not going to go anywhere like that; we\u2019re not going to please God like that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

01:22 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cThere\u2019s nothing hard about [the life of holiness] when things are right with God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

02:01 Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cYou can only offer [to others] what you have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

03:00 UJ Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIt\u2019s better to feel nothing between you and the Lord than it is to sing about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

03:30 Aunt Leatha speaks.<\/span><\/p>\n

04:00 Earl tells a recent dream about being in a prayer meeting praying earnestly and<\/span><\/p>\n

5 of 6<\/span><\/p>\n

GCC laid hands on him in the dream. Earl woke up speaking in tongues. \u201cIt\u2019s the best feeling in the world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Earl Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cIt means something to cry out and be persistent with God from the depth of your heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Track 13<\/span><\/p>\n

Earl continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:30 Aunt Leatha finishes her testimony by telling of her dream, when God spoke to her and said, \u201cI\u2019m not running any funny farm here.\u201d She understood Him to mean that He was serious about His work. She also woke up speaking in tongues.<\/span><\/p>\n

00:45 Aunt Leatha Pearl<\/u><\/strong>: \u201cGod means business in this place.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

01:15 GCC tells about a girl who called him the previous day saying she was battling<\/span><\/p>\n

with thoughts of committing suicide. GCC rebuked the demon that was tormenting her and she was relieved.<\/span><\/p>\n

02:18 Earl speaks.<\/span><\/p>\n

02:40 GCC speaks.<\/span><\/p>\n

03:20 GCC Pearl:<\/u><\/strong> \u201cThe greatest responsibility you have is to be free in God, and He\u2019ll give you understanding if you need it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
