<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee, the great Author of this Scripture, Who by the mouth of Thy servant Isaiah, the prophet, foretold us of His coming and of His blessings, and how He would be a Light to the Gentiles, and how that in His Name would the Gentiles seek, trust. And we thank Thee tonight, that Thy Words are all sure. They cannot fail.
And we pray tonight, that as this being a night set aside for our Indian brothers and sisters, I pray, Father, that You'll bless them exceedingly, abundantly. May great signs and wonders be wrought among them, that when they go back across that trail tonight, may the Holy Spirit be in that bus, or car, or whatever they're in. May the glory of God be upon them, and may an old- fashion revival break out up there at San Carlos, and every Indian on the reservation receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

L-11 May signs and wonders be done there in those hills, and let the world know that You're a God Who dwells in the hills or in the valleys. And wherever You can find the human heart that You can dwell in, You come pressing Your way into that heart.
Father, we pray now that You'll circumcise the lips of the speaker, the hearts of the hearer, that we might speak and hear the Gospel. And may the Holy Spirit take the things of God and place them into every heart, just where we have need of them. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
I was just a little early, and we don't want to speak long because we want just a little time for the interpreter for the Indian friends.

L-12 Last... I announced a few moments ago: "God's Provided Way Of Dealing With Sin." God has a way. We have a way, but our ways are not God's ways. And we can't be in our way and God's way at the same time.
Just like a road map if I... When I get ready to go home, I don't say, "Well, now, I set a compass that, perhaps, I live directly east, and north, from here." Well, if I just took out in that direction, I wouldn't get out of the city. I... But there's been a provided way made for me.
I get a road map, see which way the road turns, the mark, where I turn to the left, or to the right, and so forth, and follow that map closely. I'll make my way home by the grace of God. Well, God has a map. He has a provided way for us to go home to glory. He has a provided way for salvation. He has a provided way for Divine healing. He has a provided way for the world to be operated. He has a provided way for the Church.

L-13 The Church is to be operated by nine spiritual gifts, by the Holy Spirit. He has gifts, signs, and wonders in the Church. That's God's provided way of perfecting His Church. We try anything else: theology, teaching, anything else, it'll never work. It never did, and it never will.
We've got to come back to God's way. God has a way to support a Church, not making blankets and having soup suppers, but every man paying his tithes and offerings into the church, doing the way God said do. That's God's provided way for that.
God's got a provided way for a man to come into the Church. Today the way we bring men into the church, is give him a letter, bring him into the church, the right hand of fellowship, sprinkle a little salt shaker full of water on top of his head, and bring him into the church.
