<TITLE>16. Par 62-65</TITLE>L-62 And I tell you: we got to fight, and we got the most powerful weapon. The devil makes fun of it and says, "There's no such a thing." But pick up tonight and receive the Holy Ghost and defeat every devil of sin, drunkenness, whatever it is. We've got him on the run to be conquered. Yes, and someday, the great Chief Captain will come, and sin, and sickness, and sorrows will be over. It's conquered. And we men have the--the Spirit in our own possession, as the vine--the branches on the Vine with the Spirit energizing the church with the Holy Spirit. And we're commanded to go into all the world, and preach the Gospel, and cast out devils, and--and lay their hands on the sick and they shall recover. "Lo, I am with you, leading the army into the end of the world and I'll show Myself alive. For I'll be the same yesterday, today, and forever." Amen.
Do you believe it, Church of God? If you believe it, let us accept it tonight with one full heart and believe with everything that we have within us to believe for the righteousness of Christ. Oh, how we listen to His Word. Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word. Now, let us pray just a moment.

L-63 Our heavenly Father, as tonight we see the Captain of our salvation, the Lord Jesus in all of His splendor and power, anointed, His Church and sent them forth to preach the Gospel into all the world. Said, "These signs shall follow them that believe: In My Name they shall cast out evil spirits. They'll do great signs and wonders. I'll be with them. I'll manifest Myself to them. I will show Myself alive, though believers will see Me to the end of the world, yet the unbelievers will see Me no more."
And Father, that promise that You made is good today. I keep my eyes on that, as Elisha kept his eyes on Elijah. You said, "Lo, I am with thee always, even to the end of the world. The things that I do, shall you also. The works that I work, shall you work also." And I know that those promises are true. And tonight, we got our hopes and faith centered on that. You said You'd do it. Now, theology and Scriptural texts has been taught to people through the years, but it's evening time now. Now is the day of the restoration of all things.

L-64 And we pray, heavenly Father, that You'll manifest Yourself tonight here in great resurrection power with resurrection blessings. And may every person who knows and recognizes it to be You, Lord, may they put their hopes and--on the promise, and see that You promised them that You'd raise from the dead, and You did. You said, "I'm alive forevermore." And You are. "And I'll be with you, even in you, till the end of the world." And You are.
And You said, "The works that was done then would be done till You come again." And it is. And You're the same in every principle that You ever was. You are today. And we love You for it, Lord.
And may this church here and these people tonight see that You keep Your promise. Not only do You keep Your promise that You've raised and will meet with us, but You keep Your promise to heal the sick, to deliver the people from unclean spirits, to pour out the Holy Ghost upon the people that desire. And every promise in the Bible is true. It's the Seed of God that's sowed into the human heart and believed by faith.
Grant Lord, tonight, that You'll manifest Yourself. And when we leave here tonight, may we say like those who came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us?" For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-65 I believe God, believe that He is. And they that come to God must believe that He is and a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Now, to some of you newcomers here, it may be a little strange in a--a church like this. It may not--they may not worship here and the people praising the Lord and saying the things that they do, acting maybe a little peculiar to you. But friend, if you only had received what they have, you'd feel the same way. Turn back in the Bible and see it. See?
