<TITLE>01. Par 1-6</TITLE>53-0906E, The Living Jesus Christ, Chicago Gospel Tabernacle, Chicago, IL, 64 min
L-1 All things are possible,
Lord, I believe.
Shall we bow our heads just a moment? And while we're going to prayer, Brother Boze just brought me a message here on the back of a letter, that a mother is in here tonight with a baby with such severe heart trouble it may die tonight. It's in the building. Let's offer prayer that God will bless the baby and may it live.

L-2 Our heavenly Father, we come to You tonight, humbly as we know how to come, to offer thanksgiving and praise to Thee for the death of Jesus Christ at Calvary, Who purchased our salvation and healing.
God, we pray for mercy for this baby. The mother has been reverent to bring it to the church. The doctors, Your servants, can do nothing for it; but, Lord, Thou can do for it. Thou the Stream of all of our mercy, we pray, Father, that You'll extend the great blessings of God to the child, and may it live, and may the heart trouble leave it.

L-3 We say, as servants of God, we say, "Cursed be that heart trouble on the baby, and may the baby live, and may the mother take it home now, and may it just have a good night's rest, and tomorrow be well on its road, Lord. May it keep getting better until it's completely well. We'll thank Thee and praise Thee for it, Father."
Now, to all the others, the specials and everywhere, that's called in, sent in telegrams, and wanting to bring their loved ones from everywhere, God, be merciful to them. And help us tonight as we stand here as Your servant to minister to Your people. We thank Thee for all Thou has done, and praying now that You'll bless us in this service tonight, for we ask it in Christ Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-4 God's great peace and mercy be with each and every one of you.
And now on the 27th verse of the 16th chapter of Saint John, I want to read this part of the Scripture. I know Brother Baxter is--usually always has a dynamic service--sermon for you. And now I like to read a little Scripture for my part, because if what I say fails, this won't. This will always remain the same. So I know it'll be for some good. Isn't that right, Brother Osborn? That's right. All right.
For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
I came forth from the Father, and am come unto the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speaketh thou plainly, and speaketh no parable.
Now we are sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou comest forth from God.
Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?
God add His blessings to this Word.

L-5 When speaking in parables, they could not understand Him, but when they realized that God was showing Him things, they believed His testimony then that He come out from God.
And now, I'm giving a testimony of the same Man tonight, that they crucified Him, and He had to die to take sin out of the world. But on the third day He rose again, and ascended up to the Father, and has returned in the form of the Holy Spirit, living with us, in us, doing the same things tonight that He did then.

L-6 Can we say as His disciples, "Because of this, now we believe." God grant that it'll be so tonight, that by the witness of God, of the resurrection of this Man, Who knew the thoughts of the people, Who knew what would take place, and would done only as God led Him, but whatever God told Him was exactly the Truth... Isn't that marvelous?
Well, you know, friends, that--that's enough to make any heart just start jumping and burning, isn't it? See? That Jesus Christ, and any person's in the world that ever amounted to anything in this world, were men and women who believed Jesus Christ. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... body... 
Now, the Lord is blessful and good. He's full of compassion, mercy to us all.
