<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 Now. God is here tonight to make ready, to heal, and to make manifest anything that you ask, believing Him. Do you believe that's so? All right. Now, let us have prayer.
Our heavenly Father, O God, this closing night, there's no doubt people here, that we will never meet again this side of heaven. God, save every sinner. Grant it, Lord. We thank You for Hammond, Indiana, for its founders, and for its religious institutions, for the other surrounding cities, the fellowship, and for the great privilege of being setting here in America, where the doors of the church is open. We thank Thee for that, our Father.
And I thank You for a gallant people that would come out in this hot building tonight, setting here, even the sick and needy. God, have mercy, I pray, that this will be the climax of the meeting, Lord, that it will be the greatest night with the sick and the afflicted, and the lame, and halt, and blind, and cancered, and heart trouble, and all will be healed right... every one of them. Grant it, Lord. May there not be one feeble one left among us, when the services is over.

L-18 God, may we go away from here with faith. Maybe some of them can't get up, maybe some of them are crippled yet, but Lord, if that faith has settled there, it's got to materialize, it just... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... It has to come to pass; You said so, and we believe You. No matter what the symptoms are, we believe God. It isn't the way I feel, or what my symptoms is, it's what You said about it. How can I ever believe, me, a sinner, lost, and undone, come from a sinful family, a sinful generation, that You'd ever stoop down and save me. That's more of a miracle than it was when You healed me when I was blind. O God, how great You are. And I pray, Father, with the sincerity of my heart.

L-19 Now, You led me here to Hammond, I've come in obedience to the leading. You have taken them out of wheelchairs, off of crutches, off of cots, off of stretchers. You have made the heart troubles healed. You've made the doctors write out their testimonies that the cancers is gone. O Father, and You've took the alcoholics and the prostitutes; You've taken the dope fiends, You--You've brought them out of every walk of life and made ladies and gentlemen out of them. O God, what more could be? We thank You for it, and You've manifested Yourself every night, infallible. Every night you have manifested Yourself in great power, and signs, and wonders, and visions, that the people now, when You come, if You should come tomorrow morning to this earth to receive Your Church, the people are without excuse. They have seen it. I have testified of You, Lord. Thou knowest that I have testified of You, and not of myself, but of You. Therefore, my testimony is true, because I speak of Thee, my Lord. And telling the people that it's not their brother, it is You our Lord.

L-20 And Thou hast manifested Thyself every night with the same signs that You did when You were here on earth. Now, we thank Thee, and we pray that You'll come to us tonight and will reward us in a great way. All these things, Father, I commit to Your hand. Grant it, Lord. I can't make the people have faith. But Thou can move down a little closer tonight than before. I pray you can, Lord, and get just a little closer to their hearts.
Seeing that the great anticipation of this meeting, the waiting, just a few minutes. God, I pray that You'll move down like a shower, like a cool breeze coming down from heaven, a refreshing from the Presence of the Lord, and will let the people know that You're here, and a vindicate Your truth, that it is the truth. Then, Lord, I'll feel that I can leave the city, saying, "I have done my best for my Lord, and the people will all say, 'Glory to God in the highest.'" Oh, thank You, Father. I believe that You will do it, for I commit it to You now, in the Name of Your Son Jesus. Amen.
