<TITLE>05. Par 16-20</TITLE>L-16 Now, I want to be standing near when I see him crowned immortal, some of these days, when God brings his reward. All right.
Let's read a little bit out of His Word, the Word of the Lord, now. Not giving homage to man, but just one of those little fellows that sits back unseen. The other day, while the meeting was waiting, and people, before they opened the doors, I guess, I happened to pass by in the truck, and looked out there on the right, and there was Brother Ryan with his Bible, a teaching, not sparing a moment, and let everything. Let's all get like that. What do you say? Let's get out and tell it everywhere, get somebody.
Now, for prayer. May I say this: that I wish to read just a little portion of Scripture, and I'm going to start the prayer line. It's so hot.
But now, if God willing, tomorrow night, let's come early, it's Saturday night. And Sunday afternoon, if the Lord... How many here hear my life story? Let's see? I guess about all of you. No? You that's have heard it, would like to hear it again, let's see your hands, if you... All right. Sunday afternoon, the life story.

L-17 Now, I want to ask you something. Go out and get all the sinners that you know how, that you can coax in, and bring them in Sunday afternoon. Sunday night, our great closing service, we expect a great climax here. That's the night we want to not leave one person, if we can, but what we want to get to.
Now, tonight I want just to read a Scripture, just a moment, and then we will call our prayer line, found in Job 42. I don't know why today, while trying to study, I would keep falling back to this place in the Bible. And beginning at the 8th verse, I will read just a portion of the 8th verse. I wouldn't want to speak, preach, after that wonderful, inspired sermon, that Brother Baxter just delivered tonight. It was wonderful.
Therefore take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up to my... offer up... (beg your pardon)... offer up yourselves a burnt offering;

L-18 I've got where... see there where I've dropped perspiration on it, it's just about faded out. Let me read that over again, see if I can get it.
Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks, seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept:

L-19 That's praying one for the other, the value of prayer. Now, these counselors that had come down, and set before Job, he was... That's the oldest book in the Bible. Probably was... Job lived along the time of Nimrod, and back in there, somewhere down from Seth to Abraham. And it's the... It was written, the book of Job, before Genesis was. But he was a priest and a prince. And he loved the Lord. And God blessed him, made him a great man. And then Satan came up... Now, here's what I want you to watch: Satan came up with the sons of God, setting right among them, and begin to speak to Job, or speak... God begin to speaking about the earth.
He said, "Satan," sa--he said, "Have you considered my servant Job, a perfect man, none like him in the earth?"

L-20 Satan said, "Oh, yes," said, "you got him hedged up. You're blessing him, and giving him everything You can--You could give him." Said, "Sure, he will serve You like that." Said, "Let me have him, and I will make him curse You to Your face."
"Now," he said, "he's at your hand. I will break the hedge, but don't you take his life."
And Satan done everything but take his life. He took his children; he broke him out with boils; he spoiled all of his goods; he made him a pauper; and he set on an ash heap, back there, in the back yard, I suppose, with a piece of crockery, or something, scraping the boils that was on his body. His wife walked to the door and said, "Oh, Job, you--you look so miserable, why don't you curse God and just die?"
He said, "Woman, thou speakest like a foolish woman." He said, "The Lord gave; the Lord taken away; blessed be the Name of the Lord."
