<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 Now, before we open this marvelous Word of the living God, I believe that every religion, every true religion is founded on this. And if this, if the religion doesn't speak of this, then it's not right. Up here is God's only foundation. The only truth that we can... If any thing is contrary to this Word, it's not the truth.
In the old Bible they had three ways of knowing a message: First was by the law, next by prophets or a dreamer. And when they dreamed a dream or prophesied... And on the breast of Aaron was the breastplate with what they called the Urim Thummim. The teachers understand that perhaps; I know you do. And then, if a prophet, prophesied and the lights didn't flash on that Urim Thummim, it was wrong.
If a dreamer told a dream and it didn't flash on that Urim Thummim, it was wrong. And now, the devil taken a pattern of that and made a--one of those crystal balls. But God's still got His Urim Thummim, and This is It. That's right. If any preacher preaches, or any prophet prophesies, or any dreamer dreams a dream that's contrary to This, then it's wrong. That's right. It must come from the Word. I'm a great believer in the Word. That's what keeps us straightened out. Come back to the Word of God.

L-9 Now, we can pull the pages back like this, but there's only One Who can open the Book, and that's He that come and took out of the right hand of the--of Him that set upon a throne, a Lamb that had been slain from the foundation of the world, none other but our Lord Jesus Christ, the Author of the Word. Shall we bow our heads just a moment now, to speak to Him.
Our heavenly Father, we're thankful for this happy group of people that's gathered in here tonight, to come and enjoy the Word. And we've come for one purpose: that's to fellowship around the Word of God, having things in common, knowing that we're citizens of the same Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Lord, the great King of kings. And we've come tonight to fellowship around the Word. Now, may the Holy Spirit come and take the Word, right from the Book, and give it to the audience, to the preacher, just as we have need of it, Father, rightly dividing the Truth, that every man might go away from here tonight, feeling that it's been good to be here. Grant it, Lord, because of His Presence.

L-10 Save the lost tonight, dear God. So thankful of last evening to see those sinners coming down the aisle weeping, eyes red, setting here, around the pulpit: young men, young women, old, middle age, little children, coming around the throne, to offer thanks for their salvation that Thou did give them. Last night You marvelously spoke to their heart. Many of those which were already believers come to be filled with the Spirit. Sure, Father that You granted it to every one that comes.
And now, O Lord, we pray that You'll heal the sick tonight, seeing the sick already begin to gather. Where the Gospel's preached, there has to be signs and wonders to accompany it. And we see the sick a gathering already; we pray that You'll heal every one of them. They won't even have to come back tomorrow, in the way to be prayed for, for healing, may they just come back whole to enjoy the blessings of God. May every person yield themselves now to the Spirit. And, Father, take Your unprofitable servant, and may I be able to yield myself to the Holy Spirit tonight for the preaching of the Word. Open it to us, Father, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
