<TITLE>13. Par 47-49</TITLE>L-47 Our heavenly Father, with loving kindness, grateful hearts, full of assurance, I realize these are great words for someone to say. But I know, down through the age of my time, that Thou has been near, and has helped, and has showed great signs, and wonders, and visions. We are sure, Lord, and I know surely, that there's nothing within Thy poor humble, unworthy servant that could heal anyone. But I know that Your Angel is near by a Divine gift that You called back before the foundation of the world. You knew that I was going to be here in Chicago. You knew that I had the Word of Life for people; that was before the foundation of the world.
And way back, yonder in the state of Kentucky, in a little old tumbled down shack where, a poor peasant father and mother, without even a--a floor in the house... When that beautiful April morning broke, You sent the Holy Spirit in the room as a Divine vindication that something was ready.
And now, Almighty God, Who has fed me all the days of my life, Thou knowest my heart. And I feel the least among my brethren. And Lord, Thou knowest, I'm not saying this that they'd hear me, for I'd be a hypocrite. I say it, because I love You, Father, and I know this great moment is just at hand.
And then, without fear, after You have commissioned to do this, and if it be Your will, if You'll permit it, Lord, I come to this little platform of this humble church tonight, after making these statements and showing to the people, that what You was, in Your Son, years ago, You are the same tonight in Your people; that You are the same Lord Jesus with us, even in us.

L-48 And now, Lord, I have come, and I believe Thou has sent, that these words that You spoke might be fulfilled in this age. And now, Lord Jesus, there'll be people coming to this platform, I do not know them; You know every one of them. And I pray that You'll heal every one. And if it be Your will tonight, to break forth with power, to break forth with signs and wonders, like Philip coming from the tree, if it be Your will to do that, then, Lord, I pray that You'll grant it, tonight, as You have last night, other nights. When these sinners would slip to the platform, smoking, drinking, and carrying on, and thought they could slip by, but Your Spirit knew them, called them out, tell them who they are, and what they've done...

L-49 Now, Lord Jesus settle over this building with a reverence and an awe to the people. And may every person look straight to Calvary now and see the bleeding sacrifice of the Son of God, see the Holy Spirit descending out of Him unto the Father, and returning back to finish the works that Jesus laid out to be done, to preach the Gospel and signs to follow to the end of the world. Grant it, Lord. And may, Chicago, tonight, know that Thou art Christ the Son of God, and I am Thy servant. For I ask it in Jesus Christ's Name and for His glory alone. Amen. Thank you.
