<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 Grant, Lord, that something will be said tonight, or done, that will cause the wayward to turn to Christ. For we believe, and feel pressed in the Spirit, that great judgments are upon these lands [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] last days. Plagues, disease germs already bred up to be scattered throughout the nations. No doctor know even how to take a hold of it. O God, we'll have to believe in Divine healing then. When nations are breeding germs together, to burst them in bombs, and millions die in hours over it.
But oh, we're so thankful that when the destroying Angel went forth, You said, "Touch not none that has the Seal of the Father upon their forehead. They are Mine." Oh, we're so glad tonight, to be under the Blood, safely protected; as Israel in the days of old, putting the blood upon the lintel of the door, and upon the door post, sign of the cross. When the death angel was sweeping the land, the dark wings bowed down, but when he seen the blood, It rose again, and "I will pass over you."

L-9 Waiting... Sacrificial Lamb's been killed. We take His body under the Blood, safe, and O God, waiting for the midnight hour to come when the "march out" is called. We're going out some of these nights to the promised land, girded, shod with the Gospel of peace, the full armor of--on the whole armor of the Gospel, going forward. Help us, dear God, to buckle up tight tonight, examine the post and the lintel to see if the Blood's there, then walk forward to challenge every enemy, knowing that our great Chief Captain, the One that met Joshua after crossing the river, said, "I'm the Captain of the Host of the Lord..." O God, Joshua trembled. He knew that You were leading.
And we know tonight, the Morning Star is over us. Banners are gleaming, the colors streaming. And we're bound to win if we trust in Him Who will not fail us.
Grant it tonight, Lord, that many things may be done. Send Your Spirit. Give people faith to... Sometimes it startles them, Father. They can't realize the--the Presence, this great thing, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, Jesus of the New, the Holy Spirit of this day, standing here tonight to make good any promise that He made. Bless us, Lord.
Then send Your gifts, which is secondarily to all this, that It might work to bring the people to edify the Church, to bring us to a realization of Your Presence. For we ask it in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus. Amen.

L-10 The nights grow on. Of course, I tire, and tire more. It is a truth that I believe, as a physical man tears down, the spiritual man has a chance. That's what fasting and things are for. He can have a chance to work upon these five senses of ours, to bring us to believe and have faith in Him.
I like the attitude of this centurion tonight, that we've just read of. He--he was a man that felt unworthy. As long as you're feeling unworthy of the blessing you're asking, you're pretty apt to get it. But when you get to a place where you think that God just owes it to you, that's when you're--you're mistaken. We're in debt to God, not God in debt to us. We're indebted to God.
