<TITLE>06. Par 16-18</TITLE>L-16 I shall read just a portion of the Scripture, God willing now, so that if my words happens to fail, then His Word will not fail. It's found in Saint Luke, the 18th chapter, 35th verse:
 And it came to pass, as he came nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man set by the way side begging:
 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant.
 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passes by.
 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
 And they went... before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried... much more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me.
 Jesus stood... commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him,
 Saying, What will thou that I should do unto thee? And he said, Lord, that I may receive my sight.
 Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith has saved thee.
 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.

L-17 Shall we speak, now, to the Author in a word of prayer. Father, we thank Thee tonight for Thy Word. And Thy Word is Truth. And we thank Thee for this story in the Bible, that we have just read, knowing that without one shadow of doubt, every iota is true. It happened. And we're so happy to know that--that man's blood, down through the age, though it cost that, we're sorry that it cost it, but it brought this Bible does tonight as free literature, and we can read it as American citizens, and have a right to worship You according to the dictates of our conscience, the way we read the Word.
And we're thankful for our nation, and for our people, and for the freedom that we have. And we pray that You'll preserve this, Lord. And we ask that You'll bless this audience tonight as many are setting waiting with anticipations. Thou has never disappointed any man who came to Thee with anticipations to receive something. You never would send him away empty. You'd send him away filled with the assurance and with the blessings.

L-18 And now, Lord God, speak tonight to us, and let it be known tonight that Thou art the Son of God, which has risen from the dead, and live among us. And You're not no longer dead, You've been alive two thousand years now, living through the--down through the ages, and are--is alive forevermore.
O God, and may every man and woman in here, that's out of fellowship with You, return to You tonight, or come for the first time and see how blessed it is to know Thee in the pardoning of sin. And may every sick and suffering person, as we're centering this part of the message on that subject, may they be healed.
Bless our brother pastors, every one of them, and all the members, and the laity that's represented here. The officials, the custodians, all those who have a part in this meeting, bless them. Bless the city, and help tonight, Lord, to send an old fashion God sent revival in this city, that'll stir the people city wide, and many find Jesus Christ. We pray that You'll begin it tonight, for we ask it in Jesus' Name and for His glory. Amen.
