<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 And let's read some of the Word. And now, I want to watch my time allow myself about twenty to thirty minutes. It's very hot in here. And I trust that God will bless you.
Now, remember the mailing address if you want a handkerchief, and it doesn't get in the mail. Or any time just write me at Jeffersonville, Indiana, William Branham, and it--it'll come to me. And the Post Office Box 325, but you don't necessarily have to have that. I live in a little, bitty city. It's not big as Phoenix. And it's a little, bitty place of about twenty thousand people. And so, just write Jeffersonville, Indiana; it'll come to me.
The Lord bless you now. Before we... I might turn the pages back on this Book, but there's not a man on earth or nowhere, outside of the Holy Spirit, that's able to interpret this Word. That's right. So before we try to read It... It's so spiritual and so Divine. Let's bow our heads and talk to the Author just a moment.

L-18 Kind heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight for people who are willing to come and sit in a hot building like this, and to make this sacrifice to come and--and be inconvenient to them, and come to hear the Gospel, the preaching of the Gospel, and to see the power of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus convict sinners of their sins and to bring them to reconciliation to--before God. And I pray, Father, that You will bless them for this effort.
Many poor sick people setting here tonight, suffering with heart trouble, cancers, stomach troubles, TB, all kinds of diseases and afflictions... Of course, this crowd pushed in like this and the intense heat of the building, they're suffering as they set here. O God, may the Holy Ghost come in His great power and... like He did to the children in the--the Hebrew children in the fiery furnace, and put our minds so in condition to think upon Him and to listen to His blessed Word, until the heat of the building will fade away and we'll not think about it. But just that the power of the Holy Spirit might renew all of our faith and strength in God. Grant it.
Help the speaker. Bless the hearer. Sanctify the people, the Word. And may every one of the Words of God tonight, fall in the right kind of a ground that would bring forth a hundredfold. Comfort the saints, Lord. They're... We're speaking so much to the sinner, calling them to repentance. Now, comfort the saints also, Lord, and give them consolation to know that they're faith is not in vain in the Lord Jesus, but we're moving on to that great land. Grant it, Lord, and help us and bless us, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-19 Now, reading of the Word, I take my text tonight, if they would call it a text, or a Scriptural reading, out of Genesis the 12th chapter. And also, if you'd want to refer to it sometime, over to Romans the 4th chapter would give you just a analyzed view of what I wish to speak on, the Lord willing.
And you're such a lovely group here at Phoenix. I hope that the next time that when I come back, it will not have to come for Divine healing of the people. I pray that God will help me in such way that I'll be able to come back just to teach or to preach the Gospel of the Word.

L-20 I've often... I was going to take this time now, just for the teaching of the Word. I'm not a teacher, by no means. But you don't know what a blessing it is to me to express my gratitude of Jesus Christ to an audience. How I like to adore Him, and how I like to praise Him before the people, and let the whole world, as it was, know what I think about Him. How marvelous, how wonderful He is. Now, listen to the reading.
 Now the Lord... said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and I'll make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curse thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
