He That Loseth His Life

---------------------------------------------------

"As we see the work move forward and move on, I would only declare to

you as I stand before you today that in those 90 and more years that

I've had, as I've witnessed and felt and seen and been part of the

spiritual experiences that have been mine, this is the work of the Lord.

It's just as has been revealed. I've sensed it and I feel it, and I

so declare to you.

"I remind you that the Savior taught, as

recorded in Matthew, that whosoever 'findeth his life shall lose it:

and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it' (Matt. 10:39).

Now, some scholars and others have thought: 'Well, that's a

paradox. It's probably a mistranslation. It really doesn't make

very good sense.' It's very clear in my mind, and I hope it is in

yours, that as we live in the world of materialism, in Babylon that we live

in today, and see the happenings of the world, whether you read the

financial pages or the political pages or whatever, you can sense and feel

that where we find our strength and where we find the answer to our

challenges and our problems would be as we listen to the voice of the

prophet--God's prophet here upon the earth."
