<TITLE>03. Par 22-30</TITLE>L-22 Now, kind heavenly Father, as we've gathered here in this lovely little place, maybe not so much to the eyes to look, but, Father, we feel so at home here, just knowing that You have blessed us so many times. Feel to this little place like Jacob, that night, after running from his brother, had a vision, seeing the Angels of God ascending and descending on a ladder; and rolled the stones together, and said, "This is the house of the Lord." Father, I pray that You'll bless these who've gathered here in the house of the Lord tonight at Bethel.
Hear our prayers for these who are sick, that demon possessed young man that's visiting our brother.
And we pray for little Georgie, Lord. God, don't let death swallow her up. You've spared her, twelve, fourteen years now, I pray that You'll continue. Thou Who could take the TB right out of her, can take the cancer away from her. Thou art God. And we love You, Father, and we are asking this with unwavering faith.
That there in the hospital, that young man, young soldier laying there, dying, all hopes is gone, but, Father, it was in that kind of an hour, when You spoke to Paul, said, "Be of a good courage, Paul." Speak again, Lord. I pray that You'll spare the boy's life. Grant it. May he not die, Lord. May he live, that the glory of God may be brought forth in his life.
Help us tonight now in the service. Forgive us of our sins. Not knowing one word to say, we commit all things to You, and ask that glory will be to You. for we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy Son. Amen.

L-27 Now, I just love to talk about the One that we worship here, the Lord Jesus. He's so good to us, and we all love Him. I'm sure tonight it would be the very deepest of our hearts, to realize that He was in our midst, if we could only see Him. But He's here; I'll assure you that, that His Spirit that fills the earth, sea and sky, is in this auditorium here with us tonight. And He--He, we... Our praises is acceptable in His sight, and He loves to be worshiped.

L-28 Now, for a few fundamental thoughts on why we're here... The house of God is a house of correction. Law goes forth from the house of God.
And I think at the time that we're living, and especially in these dark shadowy hours, after I travel and watching all nations, there's only one hope that I can see left, and that's the second coming of the Lord Jesus. And He's just as sure to come, as He was here the first time. I believe it with all my heart, with all my life.

L-30 For His Word, as we seen this morning, has to be fulfilled. It is God's thoughts made manifest by His Word and brought to a reality. We had the subject this morning, if some of the strangers, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Now, the Word was the beginning. But before It was a Word... A--a Word is a thought made manifest. God had to think It before He could make It a Word. Then He spoke the Word, and It materialized.
Now, the same One that sent the Lord Jesus here by His spoken Word, It materialized and became the Son of God: died, as an innocent for the guilty, to redeem us back to fellowship to God, that we might, who are once alienated from God, can now be brought nigh to God by the offering of the Blood of the righteous Son of God. Just as sure as Jesus come the first time as a Redeemer, He's coming a second time as a Bridegroom. He--He--He's coming.
And although many times we think, "Well, the... Oh, it's been a long time. And we've thought this for years." That's what they thought before His first coming. And they're bound to think the same thing by the second coming. 'Cause the Bible said that they'd say, "There's no difference than what the time our fathers fell asleep." But then a hour that you think not, it's going to happen. Now, it behooves us...
