<TITLE>02. Par 3-5</TITLE>L-3 Can we bow our heads just a moment? Father, we're happy tonight, to be assembled together in Your house. Setting back in the room there hearing Your servant speak of the wonderful things that You've done, our hearts are more than elated to think of the grace that Thou has bestowed upon us, Thy unprofitable servants; knowing that You give us the privilege to accept Eternal Life, be forever blessed in the land that's far beyond this that we live in now. And it is written that, "Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has it entered the heart of man what God has for them in store that love Him."
We pray tonight, You will bless this people. Thy servant being a little hoarse, strain of voice... We pray now that You'll bless, maybe, this is for the purpose that add the most of it to the evening service. Trusting that You'll bless each one here, and may when we leave here tonight, may we be able to say like those who come from Emmaus that day, had walked with Him and talked with Him, yet didn't know it, until He did something and made them recognize it... They said, "Our hearts burn within us, while we heard Him." And may He do something tonight in such a way that everyone will recognize that the resurrected Jesus Christ, here in this spring yule season, is with us alive today: Out from among the dead, alive forevermore, to live and dwell among men, until He manifests Hisself in the rapturing day to take Home His Church when we take on immortal bodies like His. Grant these blessings we ask in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
I was just thinking for a moment of this man, the distress. Perhaps, one time he might've gathered Hisself with a group that didn't take up with Jesus so much. But there come a time when he had need, He must come. So he came to see Jesus, because his son was laying at the point of death. He had to do something.
Jesus said to him, "Except you see signs, you'll not believe."
But the man didn't speak back to Jesus. He said, "Lord, come ere my son die."

L-4 Now, the man... I want you to notice something, get this point in mind. The man wanted Jesus to come down to his home and heal his son. But Jesus did not grant his request in the way that he wanted it. Sometimes He doesn't do it for us that way. You might say, "If I can get in the prayer line... If God will do a certain thing for me..."
But Jesus said, "Thy son liveth." And the man believed His Word. Now, what if the man had not believed His Word? It would've been different. The son would've died. Just like today, if you don't believe His Word, you'll perish. There is His Word, "Whosoever will let him come." But if you don't believe it, you'll perish in your sins. If you can't believe it for your healing, you'll probably die sick, perish in your sickness, young age. But if you'll believe the Word that He said, then you shall have whatever things you ask for, and what He's promised.

L-5 I was speaking this morning to you people, probably the same group. We asked the people to attend their own churches tonight. I didn't come to take anyone away from their church, expecting them tomorrow night again. We want everybody at their post of duty, at their own church. Brother Reed's intention is not to take somebody from somebody else's church. He only wants the sinners who doesn't go to church to come to his church. Those who are already, have a home church... I know Brother Reed, knowed him for a long time. I know how his heart stands with God. I've set across the table from him; I've worked with him side by side, knowing when the anointing of God was on, knowed I got a true friend in T. Richard Reed. If it wasn't, I would've knowed it. And I appreciate him.
