<TITLE>01. Par 1-3</TITLE>53-1110, I Will Restore, Assembly Of God, Owensboro, KY, 80 min
L-1 Now, I want to ask you something. Before coming here to church tonight, I kinda made an agreement with God. I said, "God, You help me. I want to do what Your will is, and maybe if You'll help me tonight I'll try something different in my prayer line, if You'll help me so I can reach some more people."
And then I fell on this thought, "Well, I believe I'll speak to them just a little bit."
Now, I want you to pray. And I'll use tonight and tomorrow night, if God willing, then Thursday night go back into the regular service again. And I want to see if God... I've put it before Him as a fleece like, for He... Here's what He told me when I asked Him. I got it wrote down right here what He said. I said... And speaking to Him--Him I said, "How must I hold my meetings? Some says that I don't pray for enough people."
He said, "Just as you feel led." So that wouldn't be "Just as you feel led." And I feel led tonight to do this, so that's why I'm doing it.

L-2 In Joel the 1st chapter of the 4th verse, I read this. Many of you Bible scholars now are familiar.
That which the palmerworm has left has the locust eaten; that which the locust has left has the cankerworm eaten; that which the cankerworm has left has the caterpillar eaten.
Goes on. Let's go over to about the 11th verse now. So we haven't got much time.
Be ye ashamed, O you husbandmen; howl, O ye vineyards, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
The vine is dried up, the tree languish; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, the apple tree, and all the other trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.

L-3 The 2nd chapter... That's a very dark verse. Chapter... Joel speaking through inspiration, telling about what the lands is eat up and the worms... One worm went through and the insect and eat up some things, and what he left another worm come through and eat what he left. Another worm come through and eat what he left. And the vines are all withered up, and--and the pastures is all dried up, and the cattle are dying. The... They both had to say that all the seeds under the clods are--are rotten and looks like a hopeless case.
I was reading that tonight. Then I happened to read over in the 2nd chapter while I was setting in the room in prayer and reading. I read this in the 25th verse of the 2nd chapter.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, and the palmerworm, and my great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat with plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord God, that has dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
