<TITLE>05. Par 8-8</TITLE>L-8 Our kind heavenly Father, we have gathered here in the Name of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus, Who died freely for our sins and trespasses. He died that He might save us from a life of sin, and would take us home to heaven some glorious day at His coming. He died also, that by His stripes that we might be healed of our sickness. "And He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquity; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we were healed," saith the prophet.
Now, we pray Thee, heavenly Father to be merciful to us, and that we just have this one night of gathering here in this city. We pray that You'll bless those who has made this possible for the gathering, and also those who have gathered with us to fellowship around the Word. And we pray, Father, that You'll bless every one that's in Divine Presence also. And may it be a night will long be remembered. May it be a night like the apostolic gathering of days ago when people gathered together, little groups.
One night while the Saint Paul was preaching, way into the night, a young man, we're taught, fell from the upper story, and his life was taken from him. And Paul laid his body over the boy, and God gave him back his life.
We're thankful to have the same Gospel tonight to preach to the people, that God still lives and reigns. He heals the sick. He forgives all of our sins.
And Father, we pray tonight that You'll bless us as a people. And now, Thou has said in Thy humble Word, this: "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll do it." And we believe that what we ask we receive, because it's according to His Word.
And when we leave here tonight in different groups and going to our different homes, will You visit us in such a way, that we'll have a testimony in our heart, and our conversation, as we leave here, will be like those who came from Emmaus on the first resurrection, when they had met the resurrected Lord Jesus for the first time. They said, "Did not our hearts burn within us, when He talked to us by the way?" May You talk to every heart tonight, for we ask it in the Name of Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus. Amen.
