<TITLE>07. Par 25-27</TITLE>L-25 Heavenly Father, as the hours are growing late, men and women are here from different places, and different occupations in their journey, their pilgrimage here on earth. And we pray that Your blessings will be upon each of us as we serve Thee. And Father, we pray that You'll take the motives of our heart tonight and express it through Thy Word to the people, that they might know that we're here to be Your servant and to give to them Thy love through Thy Word. And that they might know that You're alive, and that their hope that rest in Eternal, Immortal Life beyond this shadow that we live, is correctly, Your words are true. Now, come and speak, Our heavenly Father, for we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy Son. Amen.

L-26 In the Word of God, Saint Luke 24th chapter, the 31st verse and the 32nd inclusive, listen to the reading of the Word. I love to read the Word, because faith cometh by hearing, hearing the Word of God. My words is a man's word; they perish and fail just like yours or anyone else's. But His Word will never fail, it's the imperishable Word of God. Listen close:
 And their eyes were opened, and they knew Him; and  he vanished out of their sight.
 And they said unto one another, Did not our hearts  burn within us, while he talked with us by the way... while He opened unto us the Scripture?
And now may the same Lord Jesus open to us the Scripture. Now, there's many people, anyone that's able, physically, to turn the pages can open the Bible this way. But there's no one can interpret It and open It to us but Christ Himself. John saw in the Revelation, in the last book of the Bible, and He that set upon the throne had the Book in His hand, and no man in heaven, or in earth, or beneath the earth, was able or worthy to take the Book, to loose the seals, or even to look thereon. And a Lamb as It had been slain from the foundation of the world, come and took the Book out of the right hand of Him who set upon the throne, and opened It, and loose the seals. That's the Son of God. May He open it to our hearts.

L-27 Being that I got a weak throat, just speak for a few moments and then start our prayer line in the next fifteen minutes or so, and pray. Now, give me your undivided attention.
Our little scene is tonight, the first beautiful morning of the resurrection. And it wasn't a thing that, like is scattered across the world now. The resurrection to us now means much more than it did to them morning, because many did not believe it. We're following two disciples, one of them's name's Cleopas. The Bible doesn't give what the other ones name was.
The Scripture says that these men were ignorant, unlearned men. They didn't have any education. But they knew Him. And I--I think that a education is wonderful, but I would rather know Him in the power of His resurrection, than to have all the education the world could give me. Education is wonderful, but to know Him is Life. And these disciples knew Him. But because a disappointment had come up, they had forgotten all His Words.
And isn't that just about like we have it today? When one little disappointment comes about something, someone comes in and misconstrues something, and then we go to say, "Oh, well, it's all fanaticism; maybe there's nothing to it after all." Isn't that just the human race? "Well, I know Divine healing isn't real 'cause I know Mrs. Jones is prayed for and she didn't get well."
That doesn't have one thing to do with God's promise. That had to do with Mrs. Jones' faith, or the will of God. See?
