<TITLE>02. Par 6-14</TITLE>L-6 Let us stand now, if you will. O Master of Life, we see You in the Book called the Bible in a dramatic picture this morning, as we'd think it to be a beautiful Sunday morning when You were setting up on the mountain, gathered Your disciples around You and was teaching them in the beatitudes, just the things that they should do. You said, "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of God. Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for My Name's sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven."
After this manner, You taught us all that we should pray like this. [Brother Branham leads them in the Lord's Prayer--Ed.]
... Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

L-8 Now, the classes may take their places. The adult class move forward if you can, while the boys give us "Cloud And Fire." ["The Cloud And Fire" is played. Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
Now, there--there's some empty seats in front if some of you would care in the extreme back... I know our Tabernacle's not... The acoustics here is not so very good, because we have a rebound between each one of those pilasters there, rafters hanging down. There's a rebound. If you want to come a little closer, there's a few seats. You're more than welcome, while we're doing this, if you desire.

L-10 Let us turn now to Genesis the 22nd chapter, and then also turn to Romans the 4th chapter for just a--a short message this morning before the healing service in our Sunday school teaching: Genesis 22.
Anyone need a Bible? Did you forget yours? If you did, just raise up your hand if you want one to study from. We have a number of them back here. We'd be glad to have one of the ushers to bring them right to you, if you desire one. I see some hands up. Brother Roy, would the brothers...?... pass those out back through there. That's right; that's fine.

L-12 Mrs. Harvey here, Mrs. G. H. Harvey from Danville, Illinois, have you got your boy with you? All right. We have prayer just in a little bit for him. All right, Mrs. Harvey.
All right. Now, we're going to speak just a little, or have Sunday school, as it's customary here that we have our Sunday school lesson. But while I'm around home, why, usually I--they give away, let me have the Sunday school on account of praying for the sick. And then our pastor will bring the message for the morning right after this part of the service. And we'll try to give him the platform just as quick as possible by eleven o'clock, if the good Lord will.

L-14 Now, there's many requests. And I--I'm praying for you all constantly, and everywhere, and I want you to pray for me. I have something, the reason that I'm at home so long about this time, I'm seeking God's Divine way for me to go in my next services, as I promised Him I would. Now, I'm not trying to rush the Lord, 'cause He knows all things; but I'm asking Him to show to me a vision of what I must do, or where my next move will be. And since I have come from Africa, there's only been one vision that taken place, and that was the other morning, then it come two or three times through the day. And I believe that He is near now.
The visions usually come in a cluster. If you noticed in the Bible, upon the--our brothers of days ago, that usually a bunch of visions would move in to Daniel, or to Joseph, and then just be a--a space there where there wouldn't be any.
