<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>55-0113, The Fundamental Foundation For Faith, Philadelphia Church, Chicago, IL, 88 min
L-1 Shall we bow our heads. Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee for this wonderful privilege that we have of coming and worshipping Thy dear beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. We thank Thee for ever being mindful of us to send Him to the earth to take we poor lost sinners' place to suffer there for our sins and for take our sickness and bear it away. We're so thankful to enjoy tonight the attributes of that all-sufficient Sacrifice.

L-2 Now, move into the hearts of the people in a special way tonight, Lord. Do something just outstanding, we pray, not that we need that to believe, but that unbelievers might believe. Grant it, Lord. May we say when we leave like those from--coming from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us?" If You'll do something just special for us this night, we'll praise Thee in Jesus' Name. Amen. Can be seated.
It's indeed a privilege to be here tonight, just to speak from this platform again to this lovely audience of people. And I'm sure that we will be blessed by coming together.
And I was just bringing... being brought in a few moments ago and entered into the minister's study. I heard my lovely Brother Ekberg singing that: "Down From His Glory." That's my favorite hymn. And I would... I knew he was here then. We've had some great times together, and I'm happy to see Brother Ekberg feeling so well, looking healthy and everything. God bless him.

L-3 Now, I will try each night to get just quickly as I can to the Word that we won't be too long, for we don't know just how long we're going to be here in Chicago with you people. We trust that'll be quite awhile. As I announced last night, we do not want to hurry. Don't be excited, just wait. Give God a chance. Take your time.
And then, we want to stay long enough for our... If anything thing comes up later after you're prayed for it, we'll be here to see what's all about. And then sometimes people lack a little faith or something, or got among unbelievers, or got out in the wrong company, or something another could've happened, or just a...?... act of faith. He's good at that. So we are--pray that God will help us and give us the words to say that--that will be appropriate for the season.

L-4 And now, Brother Joseph, our beloved pastor here, tells us that we are going to the high school Sunday for Sunday and next week. We're happy for that, and may the Lord bless us over there and give us the best of His Kingdom for His Glory.
Now, in Saint John the 15th chapter and the 7th verse. And I wish to read this Scripture.
And if you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you.
And then in Saint John 14:12, we read these words.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father.

L-5 And for a little subject tonight, I would take: "The Fundamental Foundation For Faith." Coming in this type of meeting, it takes much prayer. Takes times of consecrating and consecration also to the Lord Jesus.
At the end of the road when life is all over, and I stand before the people that I've met here in this life, you'll only realize then what this has meant and what a--what it takes and how the working of the Holy Spirit deals with us in them matters.
It cannot be explained now. You just have to act by faith. That's where I receive it. I cannot explain it. I just have to believe it. He gives it; I just receive it and just let it grow like that. That's His way of doing it.
