<TITLE>01. Par 1-2</TITLE>54-1205, We Would See Jesus, Faith Tabernacle, Binghamton, NY, 90 min
L-1 Good evening, Christian friends. It certainly is a privilege to be out here again tonight on this occasion to minister to the needy the blessings of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I'm so happy to see you all again. And after having two nights of speaking of the services, why, just merely preaching the Gospel to the best of my knowledge, then tonight, at... We're to have prayer for the sick, and for the healing services.
And I trust that you'll pray for me now. And this is the first time since I've come... My last meeting of a healing service they packed me both in and out in India. And my clothes were torn off almost and everything, where nearly five hundred thousand people gathering.
And it's a wonderful thing to know the Lord Jesus Christ in the power of His resurrection and His love to us.
Now, just before we start praying for the sick, I certainly covet the prayers of all of you for me tonight. And I want to take the regular theme of our campaigns always... is Hebrews 13:8 of "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." And that's the theme that we use, that we believe that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
And now, for a little Scripture reading I would like for you to read, maybe not now, but when you can, on the 12th chapter of Saint John and the 20th and 21st and 22nd verses. I'd like to read this. For I'm--I'm being a man, my words will fail. But when I read His Word, It can't fail. It's God's Word. And we believe Them to be His Words. And then I know if no more takes place than me reading the Word, God will bless His Word. He said It wouldn't return to Him void. It would accomplish that which It was purposed.

L-2 Now, in here we read this beginning with the 20th verse.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to the worship of the feast:
The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
... telleth Andrew: and again Andrew and Philip telleth Jesus.
And now, shall we bow our heads just moment while we talk to the Author of This, please.
Our kind, heavenly Father, with grateful hearts full of assurance that Thou hearest the prayers of Your children. We come approaching tonight, knowing that Thou art the same yesterday, today, and forever, and that Your lovely ways and Your attitude towards the people of the days when You were here in flesh is the same tonight, for You are the same.
And I pray that You'll manifest Your love to these tonight, to the sinner, to the backslider, and to the ungodly, and unto the sick, and the needy, the crippled, the afflicted, the blind, the halt. And may this be a night, Father, that when we close the services to walk away, may we say like those who came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us because of His Presence."
God, we pray that You'll take us tonight, like You did at Emmaus. Now, Father, You're all love and You love Your children everywhere. But when You got those disciples to themselves, and they shut the outside world out, You were in a room with them alone. Then You done something just a little different from the average man, though You'd preached to them all day, and they still didn't recognize You. But the way You done something, they realized it was only You could do it that way. And they all knew then it was You.
Father, we've shut our hearts door to the things of the world, to all skeptic thoughts. We want to be shut in with You tonight. God, grant tonight that You'll do something just a little different from the average time, that the people might know that You love them, and You're here, and want to make them well and forgive them of their sins. And grant it, Father.
And now, as Your humble servant, submitting myself to Thee, and this church also, for the working of the Holy Spirit, we ask these blessings in the lovely Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Amen.
