L-1  All things are possible, only believe
 Only believe, only believe,
 All things are possible, only believe.
Shall we pray. Father, we thank Thee in Jesus' Name, Thy Son, for the goodness that Thou has blessed us with, for the health, and the privilege of being out here this afternoon to gather together in the Name of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. Break the Bread of Life to every one of us, Father. We pray that the Holy Spirit will come and take the words of the Bible, God's own Word, and give It in every heart as we have need. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. Thank you. You may be seated.

L-2 And good afternoon, friends. A privilege to be here today, this afternoon, just a little late, but this time, it wasn't my fault. It was the staff. I was here at two-thirty as I promised. But they was the ones that was late this time, and that makes me feel kinda good, you know, when they are always telling me I'm late. Where you been? What's your hurry? And now, this time, it's them the ones that's late. So it comes right back.
If Brother Wood is in the--the--the church, I can't see him anywhere. But if Brother Wood in here, Billy wants to see you in the back, Brother Wood. I couldn't see him here, and the recorder's pit here, and--and I couldn't see him with his wife, setting there, but I just... If he's here, anywhere, Brother Wood, Brother Banks Wood, our book salesman, Billy Paul wants to see you in the back, about loading the books and things to be ready to leave.

L-3 Now, I thought maybe, if--if we wouldn't have been a little late, I was going to get on a subject this afternoon of Melchisedec, the High Priest. But being that we don't have too much time now, not over forty minutes, I guess, at the longest, we going to have to change the subject.
So we'll try another--another Scripture here to read. And then, tonight... I don't like to run right up in this kind of a meeting till just the jumping off spot, and then hit the--the prayer service. Because I'm wanting, and praying, and trusting to God, that He will give us the greatest outpouring of Divine healing power tonight, that we've ever seen in Chicago. Not because it's this meeting, but because there's such a need.

L-4 I get the letters and things, and they're desperate. And this morning, Billy said, over in his rooms, that the phone constantly rang from out of the town, and the people just, everywhere... "Come here. Come over here, here just one day, just a couple of hours. You can stop on your road." And there's such a tremendous need. And I just pray that God will give us such a pouring out tonight till there just--the people that's here it'll just be--have you so anointed, that you'll go into your own communities and--and pray for the sick and the needy. It's such an awful need.
And now, quickly as we can, to the Word. Sitting out there, just a few moments ago in the car, I was waiting for the call to come in, and it was... While sitting there, my mind fell upon this subject here. And I found a little Scripture to read in the 65th Psalm, and with the 4th verse.

L-5 It seems to be a beautiful outline. I like David's... You know the Psalms are not only songs, but they are prophecy. Did you know that? Did you ever read the 22nd Psalm, where the very words of Jesus spoke, his last words at the cross was recorded in that 22nd Psalm? "My God, why hast Thou forsaken me? All my bones stare at me, and..." And all about His conditions, it was spoke in the 22nd Psalm.
I believe there's a little--some little rebound here some way. I... Perhaps, the engineer has got it a little too high. And... can you hear me all right, way back? Can you hear me upstairs there, all? Excuse me, I'm a country boy, I mean in the balcony, upstairs.
That would be one for my wife to get me on. And Sister Wood, you, don't you report that when you get home. See?
