<TITLE>02. Par 5-10</TITLE>L-5 Now, there isn't time for speaking tonight. I'm just going to read the Scripture and have prayer, God willing.
Can I depend on you when in India and different parts of the world? It isn't like it is in the homelands. Here I'm setting among friends and believers. In there, you're amongst witch doctors and all kinds of evil spirits that would... Everything that they can see in the way of the supernatural, they'll come and challenge it. And you better know what you're speaking of when you accept their challenge. Can I depend on you praying for me while I'm over, trying to take others this Gospel? Thank you, kindly. And I pray that--that--the blessings will be with you.

L-6 Now, in the Scripture, the 2nd chapter of Luke. And before I read this, though, I'd forgot to make mention of these other ministering brother. Brother Huckstra here--I... He's been a bosom friend of mine for years. I remember the first time I met Brother Huckstra. In Indianapolis, Indiana, there was a boy dying with polio in the iron lung. And I went into the upper room of the man's house and prayed. The Lord came down and give a vision and said to--what was the matter with the boy--to take him the communion, because one time he'd been refused to take the communion on account of his age. And they had no communion at this house, so I went to Brother Huckstra's, and he furnished the communion. I take it and give it to the boy in the iron lung and pronounced the blessings of God on him and the boy's living in Indianapolis today. We thank the good Lord for His mercy for that.

L-7 Brother Ekberg here... Well, to my way of thinking, his--his singing is sublime. And how I appreciate such wonderful singing. A--my heart is going to Brother Ekberg, that Almighty God will deliver him from this thing that's bothering him now. I can't see a voice like that, silent... and just a young man. I believe that He will find... If we never have a prayer for him in this building, I believe that Brother Ekberg will find that he is going to be a well man. I believe it.

L-8 In the Gospel according to Saint Luke, I want to read about two places or three in the Scripture. The 28th verse:
Behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; the same... was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he would not see death, before he'd seen the Lord's Christ.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when they brought--the parent brought... the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord, now letteth... thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
For my eyes have seen thy salvation,
This was Simeon, waiting for the consolation of the Holy Spirit which was to be given to him and to see the Christ.

L-9 Now, also it is written over in the Acts of the Apostles, the 2nd chapter and the 22nd verse:
Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by... signs and wonders, and miracles, which God did by him... as you your all-self also know.

L-10 And then Jesus, in the 7--16th chapter of Saint John, the disciples had always wondered why He taught in a round about way in parables. And the 16th chapter and the--the 29th verse we read:
His disciples said unto Him, Lo, now speakest Thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
Now we are sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou comest forth from God.
Jesus answering them, Do you now believe?
And that's my question to the church tonight: Do you now believe Jesus the same yesterday, today and forever?
