<TITLE>04. Par 12-14</TITLE>L-12 Our kind, loving Father, we come to Thee tonight in the humility of Spirit, and ask forgiveness of our sins, as Thou through Thy mercy will be grateful to us to forgive us of all of our sins and our trespasses. And now, heavenly Father, we ask this through, and approach through the Name of the Lord Jesus, for we have no other way of assurance. But He has told us, "Whatever you ask the Father in My Name that will I do." Then we are sure of having a--a little time with You, if we'll only ask in His Name, we know that You will hear.
So, Father, we pray now that in His Name You'll forgive every one of us of our sins and trespasses against Thee. And if there be any sin in our lives, take it out, Father. We--we don't want it to be there, for it would just corrupt our--our journey here on earth, and we'd fail at the end. So we pray that You will forgive us of every short coming, and let the Blood of Thy Son the Lord Jesus cleanse us tonight from all unrighteousness.
Bless this little church, Father, the members, the pastor, all of its workers, and the churches that's represented here. Bless the cities, Father, here and the surrounding about.

L-13 And we pray that You'll send the Holy Spirit, and may He go through these cities and comb out, and put a mark upon the people. Grant it, Father. And may this be a marking, and a separating, time among Thy people, that men that's got a desire in their heart to serve Thee may come close to Thee. May the hearts of the saints be filled with the Holy Spirit. Grant it. And may sinners find pardoning grace at the altar of their hearts. Grant it, Lord.
Now, if it be Thy will for us to have services, the healing of the sick, or anything that Thou would have for us to do, manifest it to us, Lord; give us the witness of it, appear and show us. We're just here, Father, moving slowly and waiting to see what You will do.
Now, we commit all these things, these blessings into Thy hands. And now, come, Lord Jesus, and take the Word. May the Holy Spirit carry It to every heart just as we have need of tonight. And when we leave, may we say like them of old who came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us because of the Lord Jesus speaking to us?" For we ask it in His Name and for His glory. Amen.

L-14 This is a brand new thing for me to start teaching in the Word. Now, years ago as the pastor up at the tabernacle, as a Baptist minister we used to have great classes; and we would run them maybe a series of subjects for a--a complete year: start in the Book of Genesis and just tie the Bible together. And start in the Book with Exodus and run it, the Book of Daniel, wherever... And maybe the Book of Revelations, and just take the entire book, where it... from place to place. And all of God's Word is written by inspiration. There's not a contradiction in the entire Bible. If there is I want to see it. It's nothing in there that's written that cannot be straightened out by the Word of God, if it's rightly put in its place. But we'll never do it by--by man's understanding. The Holy Spirit wrote the Bible. And the Holy Spirit is the only One Who can interpret the Bible. And He will give it to us as we have need.
