<TITLE>02. Par 4-5</TITLE>L-4 I--I want to read some of the Scriptures. Mister Baxter's a speaker, but if I don't read some of God's Word at night, I feel like I've--I've kindly let down somewhere. I feel like I've failed in some way. For after all, anything that I'd say, could fail, because I'm a man. But what God says will never fail. It's His Word. It cannot fail.
And, therefore, I like to read a little Scripture each night. And tonight I want to read a portion of Scripture found in Saint John, the 1st chapter. To you, who... Many of--times in a revivals, they like to mark the Scripture. We begin about the 44th verse and read a portion of the Scripture. And if I'd say I'm not going to preach, I'm just going to talk to you a few moments, and I'd say this, "Seeking after Jesus." In the 44th verse we read this, is the early beginning of Christ's ministry here on earth:
Now Philip was of Bethsaida, a city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and said unto him, We... found him, ... whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
Then Nathanael said unto him, Can there be any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip said unto him, Come... see.
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and he said unto him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
Nathanael said unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou was under the fig tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael... said unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.
Now, if I call it a text, a very familiar place in the Scripture found, Hebrews 13:8. Most all Full Gospel people know what this says. Hebrews the 13th chapter and the 8th verse reads like this:
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-5 Can we bow our heads just a moment for prayer. Our heavenly Father, we come to Thee tonight, in the lovely Name of Thy only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. We thank Thee over again Father that Thou did ever see fit, one day, to save us from a life of sin and call us. For we know that we were borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies. And God, in His election and mercy, called us to Himself for it is written, "By..." Je--Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except the Father draws him." Then it was You, Lord, Who begin to draw. And we came. And He said, "He that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast out." And we thank Thee that thou hast received us as Thy children. And we're unworthy of this Name tonight, and this title; but we know that Thou hast given it to us by grace and we're so thankful for it.
And now, Father, we pray tonight, that You'll help us to enjoy our heavenly privileges that the Holy Spirit has brought to us. And may this Scripture that's written here, "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever," may it be confirmed tonight before our very eyes by sinners being saved; sick being healed; and the same Jesus that walked on the seas and stilled the waters, the same One that brought Lazarus up from the dead, may He walk into our presence tonight, here. May the great Angel of God that led the children of Israel through the wilderness, may He come near and bless the people. For Father, we wait on the Shepherd of the flock tonight, praying that He'll grant this, knowing that one time, we, being aliens from God, but now He's brought us nigh unto Him by the offering of His Blood. Grant these blessings. May everyone receive faith and healings and blessings tonight, for we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy Son, Amen.
