<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>56-1002A, Father, The Hour Has Come, Lane Tech High School, Chicago, IL, 78 min
L-1 Thank you, Brother Joseph. Thank you. Shall we pray. Our Father, we thank Thee today for the Lord Jesus, for His grace towards us, that while we were yet sinners Christ died in our stead to justify we ungodly people and bring us back into the fellowship with the Father, through the reconciliation by His own Blood at Calvary, where He so freely gave it for us all. And today we're enjoying these privileges because He was willing.
And now, Father, may we be willing to go and share this great blessing with others. Help us to know Thee better by the gathering this afternoon, for we ask it in Christ's Name. Amen. Be seated.

L-2 Happy to see today as our host pastor Brother James Jones, from Indianapolis, back there. So happy, and the brother from Spindale, also. Brother Winston Hare from California... I believe just as looking, I seen Brother Sothmann here with last from--from up in Canada, where we just had the great meeting up there. And many other friends, that's just come... It certainly is a privilege today to speak to such a host of people, who I--I'm expecting to live an eternity with in glory. And have the privilege today to be standing to speak to you and fellowship with you around the Word of God... And it certainly is a privilege to do this.

L-3 Now, last evening we had a great time in the Lord, the Holy Spirit was--really poured out His blessings out on us last night in a tremendous way. And tonight we're going to have the old fashion prayer line that we used to have years ago. Because we're going to... Since I shall speak to you a little while this afternoon, fellowship with you with the Word, and then, tonight speak again. And sometimes that way the--the anointing of the Holy Spirit for those Divine visions doesn't come just as they should if you're kindly upset--not--I don't mean upset, I mean over enthused or something; it just doesn't seem to work just right. So Brother Joseph, I told him I'd like to have one night of that before leaving. And he has been so gracious to give it to us and to have it that way.
And now, I am expecting God to heal many of the sick and afflicted. I'm going to ask the boys if--if they will go ahead and give out the prayer cards anyhow, a large number of them tonight, so we can keep order in the prayer line to have the sick to come through. So if you've got any loved ones that's needy of prayer, and you believe that by laying on hands is God's healing power for the sick today, why, you bring them out tonight, 'cause we expect to get a great host of them through the line.

L-4 And now, it's such a short time we have to speak and such a--so much to speak about. As long as we're speaking about the Lord Jesus, we got much to speak about, how every word's so inspired. And I'm going to ask Pastor Joseph if he will make ready to read a text for me, or a Scripture reading, seeing that I... Something else come on my mind just now, and I--I'm just have the New Testament with me, so I want to him read a--for a background from the Old Testament, II Chronicles 18:22-27. I'm going to ask him to read this for us, and you might read it with him if you wish to, as a background for my text this afternoon. [Brother Joseph, says, "II Chronicles"--Ed.] 18:22 to about--about 27. And may the Lord add His blessing now to the reading of His Word.
