<TITLE>04. Par 11-12</TITLE>L-11 Now, shall we bow our heads just a moment. Our kind heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight for Thy Word; It is Truth. And we pray now that You'll break every shackle and set the people free, at liberty. And may the blessed Holy Spirit baptize every one in here tonight anew in His Presence. May great signs and wonders accompany this meeting, insomuch that it'll stir the whole city. May the people come in such a way, not because that it's our effort for You, but because of the Gospel's sake. Grant, Lord, that the buildings will pack, and the streets will stand with people, great signs and wonders; ambulances bringing up the sick, going back without them; the cripples pushing their wheelchairs in the corner, walking out rejoicing. May it start an old fashion revival that'll sweep throughout the entire city and the communities here. Bring every church in unity with Christ, and may there be great joy throughout the entire city. Grant it, Lord.
Bless these few words now. Inspire speaker and listener. And may the Holy Spirit move on our hearts in such a way, that when we leave here tonight, may we say with those who came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us because of His Presence." For we ask it His Name. Amen.

L-12 This soul cry of these Greeks... The Greeks seek wisdom and the Jews seek signs; and Paul said, "We preach Christ crucified." And Greeks has always wanted wisdom. But these Greeks come up (perhaps were proselytes to the Jewish religion), and came up to Jerusalem to worship at the Pentecostal feast. And then while they were up there, they had heard of the great fame of this One Jesus of Nazareth. His fame had scattered everywhere. Many disbelieved Him. Thousands disbelieved Him. But thousands believed Him. And it was mostly among the common people who heard Him and believed Him. Those who were of the other type, they did not have much time for Him 'cause they were satisfied with their religion. And they had--fathers had been taught certain things and their--and they'd had their traditions handed down. And something new, no matter how phenomena it was, and... Well, He tried to tell them it was in the Scriptures that He was to come. "And oh, well, they, if--if--if He was to be the person, the priest would know something about it." And therefore, they wasn't interested.
But these Greeks when they heard... Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word of God. And they come seeking Jesus. And this... I believe that has been the heart's cry of every man and every woman who's ever heard anything about Jesus Christ has had that same thing: "Sir, we would see Jesus." They didn't want to learn His theology. They didn't care nothing about His teachings. They didn't care about whether He, what kind of clothes He wore. They were only interested in one thing: that they wanted to see Jesus. That's the main thing. And that's the cry of today.
