<TITLE>11. Par 33-35</TITLE>L-33 Almighty God, the Creator of heavens and earth, the Author of Everlasting Life, the Giver of every good gift, tonight is our closing service here in Zion city of Illinois.
God, I see laying in there in that desk drawer of mine now lays a little paper, a little blue back, with many pages on it with a men's names, business firms of this city, Zion. I come back to the city. I remember the night when I led the little Grace Mission Church over there, I said, "I will return." You've give me the privilege of doing that again. I trust, Lord, that the services has been a blessing beyond what they recognize now. May it start something right here in the city that'll not end till Jesus comes. May it be a revival, just what we need, right here in this city, break out somewhere right among the people here. Grant it, Lord.
And now tonight, as we're closing, will You come to Your humble servant. Will You bless me, Lord, in a mighty way tonight. Just send Your Angel down. Break forth with great visions, Lord. Speak to this people; show them signs and wonders. I do not know what You will do. Thou knowest that, Lord. But Thou does know all things. And I pray that prayer changes things. I ask for a special blessing upon this audience tonight. Grant it, Lord. In humility, I ask this in the Name of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, Thy Son. Amen.

L-34 All right. He's setting behind me in the shadow. I didn't even see him, my--my son. What does... Number...?... All right. We'll start our prayer line tonight by calling some from the prayer line. Billy had to come down tonight and give out the prayer cards. Didn't get to give them out this afternoon, so he come tonight.

All right, and everyone listen. All right, Paul, you ready? All right, bring the lady.
Don't that just thrill you, that song of my heart?
O How I Love Him, How I Adore Him.
All right. Now, you're the patient, the lady? Now, lady, I wish there was some way that I could do something for you, or something. I can't. If I had anything in my hands, or in my body that would heal you, I'd sure know that you went off of this platform well. I'd do it. Not only that, but I'd go down to that little girl setting there in that wheelchair. I'd lay my hands on her and--and heal her. I'd go to this lady here; I'd heal her. I'd go to that poor old dad there with his hands up over his ears, trying to listen. I've seen him the last two or three days and nights, trying to get the break in. I seen what his trouble was, know what's wrong with him. I trust that God will heal him tonight. I wished I could do that. I wished I could. But I can't, I'm a man. I'm just as--as your loved ones would be. I--I'm just like Brother Baxter, or this... any man here. I'm just a man. But God will guide.

L-35 Now, I was born by a gift. Those gifts don't come by laying on of hands. Those gifts come by the sovereignty of God. Gifts and calling are without repentance. They was foreordained of God to be. Gifts are born.
Jesus Christ in the garden of Eden, He was the woman's Seed that would bruise the serpent's head. Moses was borned a proper child. John the Baptist was the voice of one crying in the wilderness, according to Isaiah, seven hundred and twelve years before he was born. Before Jeremiah when he come to the earth, that great prophet, Jeremiah, God said, "Before you was even formed in your mother's womb, I knew you, and called you, and sanctified you, and ordained you a prophet over the nations." See? It ain't just what somebody does; it's what God does--what God does. Amen. That is right. That is right.
Now, do you see it? Not knowing about the full Gospel people... I was leery at first. I didn't know what to do. But God called me and sent me to them, not knowing them. That's why I'm here now.
