<TITLE>04. Par 12-15</TITLE>L-12 Shall we bow our heads just a moment. Our heavenly Father, we come to thee tonight as Thy lovely children, yet confessing that we're--we are deeply sorry for our sins. When we think of Calvary and of Jesus, and what He had to do for us to redeem us, our hearts melt. Why did that lovely One have to walk Calvary, bleeding back, bloody streak all the way through the city of Jerusalem, up the hill, there with nails pierced in His hand, and a spear at His side, to die in disgrace and shame to save us? We look to Calvary tonight and confess our wrongs. We're sorry, Lord; forgive us of our shortcomings.
But in the depths of our heart, there lays happiness, because that we know that we are absolutely secure in Christ Jesus. You promised Abraham You'd save him and his seed. And we being dead in Christ, take on Abraham's Seed and are heirs according to the promise by the Holy Spirit: New Life, Life coming into us, making us believe the supernatural like Abraham did, taking God at His full value, His promise. We thank Thee.

L-13 Now, bless this people tonight. Laying here before me is a group of handkerchiefs; bless the dear people who sent these. They read in the Bible where they taken from the body of Paul, they believe that You're still the same Holy Spirit in the same church. And I know I'm not Saint Paul the apostle, but Jesus is still the same Lord. Bless these handkerchiefs for their intended purpose, the people that wear them, may they get well, Father. Bless us together, heal the sick, save the lost tonight. For we ask it in Christ's Name. Amen.

L-14 I wanted to teach some this week, but you see, when crowds are standing, and so forth, it's hard. One of these days I would like to come back to Jonesboro, go rent some big tent to seat about ten thousand people, and set it out here and stay about two months, so we could have a real revival.
And then, if you notice how that God promised the children of Israel He would take them out of Egypt... After four hundred years they had been down there. Joseph had been taken down, one of the patriarchs, died down there, but made mention of a parting of Israel. All those patriarchs looked forward to the Word of God being fulfilled. How simple when you can just believe God's Word and take Him at what He says. Isn't it simple? Just love, if you love Him, love in your heart for God will create faith.

L-15 If you love your mother real well, love your father, love your husband, or your wife, it'll create a faith. The love for my wife... I, when I leave her, I don't have to have...
Man has always tried to do something to save hisself. There's nothing you can do about it. God saves you unconditionally; He just calls you, predestinated you to be saved. And somebody's predestinated to be lost. The Bible said so: "Men of old, foreordained to this condemnation..." When...
Esau and Jacob, both born from the same parent, before either child was born, said Romans 9, not knowing good from evil, God said... That the election might be sure, God said, "Esau have I hated, and Jacob have I loved," before either one of them done anything about it. See? See?
