<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>56-1002E, Elisha The Prophet, Lane Tech High School, Chicago, IL, 111 min
L-1 ...?... Shall we pray. Our heavenly Father, we thank Thee tonight for the opportunity to talk to Thy children, the purchase of Thy Blood, once more this side of the coming of Jesus, the end of all things on this earth. So we thank Thee tonight that they have come out, and I am so happy to know that Thou has promised to meet with us wherever two or three were gathered together.
And now, O Lord, move afresh with the Holy Spirit upon us. Bathe our souls in His power and in His beauty, and let nothing be seen except Christ. And may I be able to speak words that would cause the sick and the afflicted tonight... As this night is set aside for them, may they see that Jesus is willing and waiting their coming. And may many be healed and even many saved, for we ask it in Christ's Name. Amen.

L-2 Now, we are happy to be back in the service of the Lord tonight and since... Kinda held the crowd a little late this afternoon and in the speaking at the Philadelphian Church, but we really had a wonderful time at the Philadelphian Church this afternoon.

L-3 The lady that's going to hear me say this might smile just a little, but she was raised a Methodist. And there was a message the two gave in unknown tongues and interpreted. I've seen that just ridiculed. I've seen that just not put in order at all, but this afternoon the way it come, not a whole big conglomeration of it, just as the Bible said, three... And two of it went to the--the people, the laity; and the other was directly straight to the ministry. And the lady come out; she said, "Hey, wasn't that marvelous?" And so I say, "Amen, it was."
It was marvelous to see the Lord come right back down, moving in the same type of Spirit and done just exactly. That's living... That's setting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. I believe that with--with all my heart.

L-4 And now, tonight we have set this time aside for a prayer line to pray for the sick. And tonight, God willing, I want to pray for the sick just like Brother Roberts does, and Brother Tommy Hicks, and Brother Valdez, and--and Jack Coe, Brother Osborn and them, just take them and pray for them.

L-5 So I had a pretty good South supper, an overgrown hamburger, a great big one and--and all the trimmings that went with it. So I--I come in to usually under the--the--the discerning of praying, I come constantly in prayer so that there won't be... just have to watch every moment...
But tonight, just to be free to speak awhile and then bring the people through and talk with them and pray with them, and see... I believe the Lord's going to do a great thing here tonight; I just believe it. And I kinda got a little fleece before the Lord. If that seems to work just right, well, then maybe the Lord would permit me then to go ahead and pray for the people like that every night, whole groups of them.
So as Brother Joseph said a few moments ago, he--he's a fine little Swede. He sure is. I love him, but, oh, my, he--he says such nice things. And I don't want him to say it, but he says it anyhow about not wanting popularity, never wanted pop... I want to be honest, not popular, honest.
And I don't say nothing to be popular. I don't mean to be that way. That isn't... The only one place I want to be popular is when Jesus comes. I--I want to be real popular then, Him say, "Well, it was well done, My good and faithful servant. All these is come now, all of you come together." Oh, my. I just want to walk right close to Him as I can, don't you? So that's when I want to be popular.
