<TITLE>05. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 Great Master of Life, we come in the Name of Jesus Thy Son, to offer thanksgiving to Thee for Thy Word. We could think of the apostles, before they were made apostles: Peter, fishing one night, Andrew, the sons of Zebedee, and how they had toiled all night and had took nothing, setting on the banks washing their nets, very much discouraged. Then they looked, coming down the bank and here come a lovely Person, a few man following Him.
I can see the women leaving their washings, the men stopping the ox in the field, coming down to the banks of Galilee to listen at Him. There was something different about Him. He had authority from God.
And after His speaking, He had borrowed one of their boats, which He was to use as a pulpit, a little old dirty fish boat, the greatest pulpit. There He spoke to the multitudes. Then after borrowing the boat, He said, "Thrust out, Simon, into the deep. Let down for the draught."

L-19 "Let down for the draught? We've dragged here through here all night. There's nothing in here. But at Thy Word, Lord, I'll let down the net."
O God, there it is. "At Thy Word, Lord. If there's none there, God's Word will put something there. We know that's truth, Lord. You wouldn't say there was some there, unless You was able to perform that which You'd spoken. There's many men and women here tonight, Lord, no doubt, has drug through every hospital and every doctors office in the city, and around about. They went everywhere trying to find help. They're sick, Lord; they're dying. Demons of sickness is eating their life away. Heart trouble's killing them. They went out in the coal sheds. They've been out in the bushes; they've been to the altar, praying. had their lovely pastor, different ministers, to pray for them. Still seemingly, they can't catch on.

L-20 But let this be the time that they'll say like Peter, "At Thy Word, Lord. I'm going to let down the net. I'm going to trust You right tonight. This is the night. This is the time. From this night, I'll trust You. I'll set my affections on things above." We know that Thy Word says that You're the High Priest setting at the right hand of His Majesty to make intercessions upon our confession. What we say that You've done, that's what You do. But if we not... Done do confess it, if we're afraid, then You can't help us.
So we pray, God that You'll give each man and woman, boy, or girl in here tonight, courage, real conviction, faith, that'll look up there and see that Son of God setting there in His Majesty, the power of His Spirit moving in His Church, then not be afraid. Say, "By His stripes I'm healed, and I go believing it." Then You're the High Priest. You'll start confessing that in heaven just when we confess it here. But You can't do it, until we first say You've done it. For it's a confession, and that means "say the same thing." We have to say what You say about it. We've already been healed, so we accept it. Send the Angel of God, Lord, the great Leader, the Holy Spirit, to guide Your Church into all truth tonight.
Help Your poor, unprofitable, unworthy servant standing here, Lord, as I try to represent [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] to the people, for I ask it in Christ's Name. Amen.

L-21 Then He's here. Is that right? He said, "Wherever two or three are gathered," no matter how small a group, two or three, "I'll be in their midst. What anything they ask, shall receive it." Now, that's either right or it's wrong.
Jesus said, "If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you, you can ask what you will, it'll done to you. Whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe you receive it." That's... But watch the order of the Word now. You believe now, you receive it, it shall be given to you tonight. See? He can't do nothing for you, until first you believe it and say He has done it. Let me let that soak real deep.
