L-1 Thank you my...?... Good evening, friends. It gives me the same measure of thrill to get to meet you for our first night here in--in Toledo. Trusting that this will be a great time for all of us, a revival in our hearts of the grace of God and His power to be made known among His people again.
I've looked forward for this time since I was in Cleveland last year. They told me of Toledo up here, and this is my first time to ever be at the city. Said sometime maybe I could get up here. And Brother Baxter told me that I was coming up here, I was so happy to get to come to meet new friends and to meet old.
And I--I trust that our six nights of stay here will bring joy to you and myself. That I know it will be for me. It's already that way, just to get to be here.

L-2 And above all, I trust that God will heal every sick and crippled person in our midst that comes. I believe He will. If we can just only have faith in Him, the work is complete.
And now, I see it's very warm, and it's sticky. But we can't govern the weather; God does that. And I'm happy to--to be in God's service if it's real real cold or real real hot. It doesn't matter, just so He's there.

L-3 There's a little play... a song we used to sing. "It's Heaven To Me Wherever I Be," if He is there.
And I imagine, it was one of the greatest meetings that the Hebrew children ever had when the Son of God came to them in the fiery furnace in all that heat.
And He... Everywhere He's at, if it's in heat, or if it's in fright, like Daniel and the lion's den, or wherever it may be, it's heaven where Jesus is. And He's promised to us that no matter how small our church was, "even unto two or three is gathered in My Name, I will be in their midst." So in this audience tonight, of maybe two thousand people, I'm sure that He's fulfilling His Word to be with us.
Now, if we can find favor with Him, I believe that He will manifest Hisself to us and let us know that He's here by His supernatural Presence, maybe in the realms that may be a little strange to some of us.
But Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And His power is unlimited, and His Presence is always.

L-4 Now, just for an opening night... Can you hear all right? Is the acoustics carrying to the... I mean the voice in the back of the building all right? Can you hear back there? If you can, raise your hand. That--that's fine. All right.
Now, I'm not a very good... have a very good voice that the... Maybe they fixing to step it up just a little bit. Brother Baxter has practically enough voice for both of us, so he... They have to lower it for him and raise it up for me. And... But there's some difference in our size.

L-5 And now, the meeting will be what you determine it in your own heart. Of these six nights, it can be a great blessing to you, or it can be a great hindrance to you. It can be a time that all these people setting here in these chairs can be at liberty, walking around out here on the street. It can be to those that's on the cots, delivered. To those suffering with cancer and heart troubles, and all back in here, it can be to every one of you, a deliverance.
Now, if God will help me to let it be known to you just how simple it is, then you receive it.
