<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>55-1114, The Darkest Hour, Then Jesus Comes Along, Tent Meeting, San Fernando, CA, 93 min
L-1 My, I know how you feel: just like I do. Let's just say, "Praise the Lord," everybody, "Praise the Lord." That'd make you feel like if you were dying you could go right on through all right, wouldn't it? It just... Seem like it'd just be fine. God bless our brethren.
I--I can just drink a lot of that in and still not be full. That's really, really wonderful, old fashion Gospel singing. When I hear Waermo, and Einar, and Sankey, and all those singing over there, I'm telling you it's going to be wonderful, isn't it? When--when... Yes, sir. It sure will be.
Just think, we have an opportunity to hear them forever when we get there. Won't that be wonderful? I just love singing. I think good old fashion singing like that is the--is the backbone of a meeting. I just love it.

L-2 Now, we're happy to be out again tonight in the Gospel tent, to--to preach again, and pray for the... God's sick children. And we are trusting God for a--a great service tonight. You're... You're having some Indiana weather down here right now. I'm sure that hinders a whole lot. And we're going to try each night if I possibly can, by the help of God, to have you out just as quick as I possibly can from the meeting. And within a hour, time I come in, if I can.
I just love to talk so much about the Lord, till I just don't know my stopping time. And then I'm--I'm a great eater of spiritual things in my... I don't fill up very easy. So I just love to talk to you because you're such a nice people.

L-3 And I sometimes overshoot my mark, as we call it. So I don't mean to do that. And I noticed that laying here in the cots and stretchers around tonight, people is begin to come in, in their wheelchairs and cots. I like--don't like to see people all bound up like that. But I--I do like to see them coming to God's remedy, that they can be made well.
And our heavenly Father is more than willing. And to my dear people laying here bound up tonight, I trust that this will be the last hour that you'll have to set in that manner, that Jesus will make you well. If there was anything that I could do about it, I'd be glad to do it. I can't. I'm just--I'm just your brother. But I'm here to help you. And by the help of the Lord Jesus, then if you'll just believe Him, the faith lays within you.

L-4 'Course, my faith will help you, sure. I'm using every bit I can to help you. And then all--all of us together, and all these other people are too, not only me. But the rest of them here are all interested in you. And they--they want you to get well. And isn't that right, audience? Sure we do. And that's what we're here for. That's the way I come all the way from Indiana to--to pray with you, and help you, and talk about the Lord.
Now, I can only do as He tells me. I can only say what He says. 'Cause if I told you anything different it would... You'd see it was wrong. So it must come from God. And that's the way you want it, right straight from God. And you just believe now with all your heart.

L-5 And now, go straight to our text, right quick. As the weather gets just a little bit better, we'll linger later on in the week. So let us bow our heads just a moment, while we talk to the King, if you will.
Our heavenly Father, what a privilege it is for we mortals to have this great avenue to speak to the King of kings. And by His only begotten Son that was here on earth, Who died to make this road clean for us, to cut all the ground wires off and to make it so that we could talk. Said, "Whatever you ask the Father in My Name, that I'll do." Oh, what a privilege.
