Proverbs 26 14 As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed.

18 And if you notice, the very teaching of nature… Watch nature if you want to see God. God in His great nature.
You watch, just before the sun come up of the morning… Isaiah, I believe it was the prophet one time; he said,
“Watchmen, what of the night?” He said, “The—the night cometh, and the morning cometh, and the night also.” If
you notice he was just Scripturally in order. Watch. The first thing come, before the night come… Always before
the—the daylight it’s the darkest. It’s always darkest just before the break of day. It’s because the light is a
pressing, and condensing the darkness. And that is at that time that the morning star comes out. It’s only the early
risers that ever sees the morning star. And I think in this great hour of darkness just before the break of day, the
Morning Star has shined again, spreading forth itself. The early risers who are rising, not setting back, “I’ll get saved
next year. I’ll get saved next week.” 54-0305 - God's Provided Way Of Dealing With Sin

129 What is it? I’ve walked out and looked at that great morning star, as she begins to move yonder. What does
the morning star say? The morning star is only reflecting the supreme light of the sun coming. Is that right? The
morning star, the reason it’s so bright (you know why it is?), the sun is so much closer to it. It’s a pressing on. And
the morning star hails the coming of the sun. 130 All right, you morning stars, it’s time to go hailing His Coming!
Shine, morning Stars! Rise early! It says, “The Son will soon be here!” 131 When we look and see that morning star,
as it glistening in the skies, it means that the sun will shine pretty soon. 132 And when we see the morning Stars of
God, rising and shining to the glory of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, shows that that supreme One is pressing on.
The lights are gathering, but the morning Star hollers, “Hold on! It isn’t long till daylight.” Hold on! It’s not long till
daylight. Just keep holding on. As Sister Murphy and them used to sing, “Just keep holding on; daylight is soon
coming.” Hold on till they…The morning Stars are shining to the world now, lighting up the world, just before the
great darkness, and the great thunderbolt from Heaven, the Coming of the Lord.

Jesus said, “The same cup that I drink, you’ll drink. And the same baptism that I’m baptized with, you shall be
baptized with. And the same things that I do, shall you also.” What did He do? Spoke in tongues, cast out devils,
preached the Gospel, heal the sick. The same thing that He did, we can, too. And at the end of our days, as He
raised from the dead, so will we who are in Him. 182 I can’t get my boy up, at the morning. He looks like if he just
got his day and night turned around. I said, “Billy, you’ll never be no account laying there like that. Get up. If you
don’t do no more than go out and wash your teeth, and go out in the yard, look at your car, and come back in and
sit down, read. Don’t lay in the bed; no good, laziness.” 183 God have mercy on these lazy-hearted Christians,
become no good; know so much about It, and tell so little to other people about It. He said, “Daddy, I just can’t get
up early.” 184 I said, “Look, Billy, one of these days, you ain’t going to have no daddy to take care of you. Daddy is
going to be gone, one of these mornings. You come in the room and look, perhaps. Daddy will be laying there.
You’ll shake him, but he won’t wake.” I said, “Then they’ll haul me down, this little old church, in a box. You’ll pass
by, your handkerchief in your hand, crying; look down, say, ‘That’s my old dad. I wish I’d a listened to him.’” I said,
“But remember, Billy, I’ve always been an early riser.” 185 Hallelujah! [Blank spot on tape—Ed.]…blessed trumpet
sounds, I’ll come forth in the first resurrection. I believe in rising early, (hallelujah), some glorious day, by the grace
of God. I believe this Gospel that I preach. I believe It’s the honest Truth.   55-0731 - The Uncertain Sound
