<TITLE>08. Par 4-6</TITLE>L-4 We know this, that in the Old Testament the blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin. It only covered sin. And the living just waiting in--in paradise for the day that sin should be taken away. But when Jesus came, the Son of God, the Messiah, He took away sin. He divorced it, never covered it, He took it away. Then, now, since then, if this earthly tabernacle be dissolved we have one waiting in glory; we go straight to the Presence of the Father, there to be clothed in immortality. Oh, if this earthly tabernacle, if it should be taken away, this afternoon... Born in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies, sinners by nature, then God has redeemed us and redeemed our soul, and has a blessed body waiting for us, that'll never be sick, even above temptation, a body like His own glorious body, then we shall see Him as He is.

L-5 Now, Father, we're approaching Your Word. There's no man was able to open the Book, or to loose the Seals thereof. But the Lamb which was slain from the foundation of the world, He was worthy. And He came and took the Book out of the right hand of Him, and opened the Book and loosed the Seals. And now, may the Holy Spirit come and get on these words, that we've just read. And may You speak, today, and go right out over this audience here, and may the Holy Spirit give to the Church just what we have need of: faith.
Prepare a service for tonight, Lord. May tonight be the greatest service, not because of us here, but because that Thou art here. May it be the greatest service that this Philadelphian church has had since it's been established. May there be a shaking go forth tonight, that'll have the holy God of heaven to set us back there in a big stadium, an auditorium somewhere, that'll shake Chicago for three or four months. Grant it, Lord.
Do the exceedingly abundantly today. Prepare the hearts just now. Break up the ground, grub out all the green briars, and the stickers, and the thorns, and roots of bitterness, and bring down the Holy Spirit, so tonight, that the Angel of the God might sweep over this building in a great meeting, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Thank you, brother.

L-6 To the approach to the Word now just for a few moments... I'll take my watch off. I don't know where the clock is. It's a... And I'll try to stay no longer than I possibly can now. So that you'll have ample time to get ready.
And my son, just a few moments ago, asked me to announce to the people, that wants prayer cards for tonight, to be here at six o'clock tonight, if possible, to receive prayer cards; those who are afflicted and in need, and to be here at six o'clock tonight to receive the prayer cards.
Now, our Scripture goes back today just before the... Or this time was in the ministry of our Lord. He had just become very famous because of God being with Him. He was a Man, not no beauty we should desire Him. He was--He wasn't much to look upon, probably a little frail-looking Fellow. And the Bible said that He was not beautiful, in the way, a big six-footer like, or seven-footer like Saul. But He was a small Man.
