<TITLE>13. Par 25-27</TITLE>L-25 Read just a little Scripture now and speak to you for the next ten or fifteen minutes, if you bear that long. We'll start put a good, long prayer line out, start praying for the sick, the Lord willing.
Now, over in Saint John the 11th chapter and we want to read just a portion of His Word. Let's begin at the--the 18th verse.
Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off:
And many of the Jews that came to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.
And Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary set still in the house.
Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou would have been here, my brother would not have died.  (Listen to this now.)
But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou will ask God, God will give it thee.
Jesus said unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Martha said unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and... life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
And she said unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
May the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Word now, as we speak from the Word, just a few moments. Then we'll pray for the handkerchiefs and start praying for the sick.

L-26 How many likes the Word? Everybody... Oh, I know you do. Faith cometh by what? Hearing, and hearing the Word of God. Nothing like it, It's the seed. It's the Seed to every hope. And if you... Here's another thing, always remember that I made this statement. That the right mental attitude towards any Divine promise of God in this Bible, will bring it to pass. If you'll look at it right, and believe it, it'll come to pass.

L-27 Now, in our text tonight we find a very sad scene breaking up into to a great glorious victory, because of the Presence of the Lord Jesus.
Now, we are taught by history, that Jesus after He'd left his own home and come up to live with His friend Lazarus... And as the little fiction book of: "The Prince of the House of David," if some of you ministers, perhaps, nearly all ministers have read that. And it's fiction. It's Ingraham's book. And he said that when He come up to--to stay with Lazarus, because that his foster father, Joseph, had deceased, and He come to live with Martha, and Mary, and Lazarus. And Lazarus was learning to be a scribe at the temple. And Martha and Mary was needle workers that made tapestries and things for the temple.
And then, His ministry got so popular that He was just... went away from the home. And any time when He goes away from home, then trouble sets in. And you just remember this, friends, you Christians. Any time that Jesus leaves your home, look out for trouble. It's on its road to your house.
And this case, Jesus didn't... He didn't leave because He had to, but His ministry forced Him away. For our context tonight, let's back up just a little bit and get a text about Jesus. God, always before He does anything here on earth, He usually gives a warning before He does anything.
I believe that this great revival of sweeping the lands today, though we have many things that we like to comb out of it, fanaticism and things rises up in the midst of it... But in the midst of all of it, it's a warning to the world that judgment's ready to strike the world at any time, God making His last call just before the coming.
