<TITLE>17. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 And Father God, we pray tonight that You'll give the sheep Your Bread tonight, the Bread of Life. These who are struggling here in Boston, this great big fabulous city, where sin heaping on every side, bootleg joints, mother's boys strewn out across the street here drunk, and how that these big churches with their big spires standing up there, Lord, and--and failing. O God, oh how it burns in my heart when I think of their cold, formal, indifference, and how they stand stiff and starchy and warn the people against coming to hear Your Message and so forth.
O God, I pray that You'll burn into this city. Send an old fashion revival after the closing here, and sweep it from coast to coast, from shore to shore, that they'll know that You have raised from the dead. Feed Your hungry sheep, Lord. Oh, how many of these people setting here tonight, old men that's preached the Gospel for years, that's stood by looking for the time to come when God would restore these things. How that women have set here and they've prayed and read their Bible and stained it, how they've been called and but--lot of names holy-rollers, and all kinds of fanatic names, and how they've been tossed about, but still with a heart looking to You. O Christ, manifest Yourself tonight to them. That--let them know that their vain--their faith is not in vain but that You live and You see every move and action and know every thing in their heart. Grant it, Lord.

L-58 And when the service is closed, may we bow our heads, and give praise to Thee, and worship Thee, and make ourselves ready as far as we can to go, and to serve you, and to do everything that we know that's in our power that's to do right. Permit this to us tonight, Father, through Thy grace, and in the Blood, and in the Name of Jesus Christ we ask it. Amen.
I don't know why I just can't close look like somehow, but now my dear friends, now you... May the Lord Jesus blessed. Now, we're going to call a prayer line to pray for the sick. I've clearly explained to you. I cannot heal, and I believe no one else can. The only thing that you can do is accept what I've told you.

L-59 Now, I have said--the Bible has said (that wasn't my subject tonight) but Christ is alive. If you're the seed of Abraham, you're bound to recognize it. "My sheep know My voice." Certainly. Jesus said that and so when... If you're the seed of Abraham, you'll recognize the Spirit of Abraham, of Christ, which come through Abraham by the flesh. So then may the Lord grant to you tonight that your eyes of understanding will be opened. And if you're here tonight as a lukewarm church member, I'm not criticizing you, mister, my brother. I believe you to be a Christian if you've confessed Christ, but just in a lukewarm state.
You, my sister, I'm not criticizing you, but I'm trying to tell you. Stop that little, old, formal way you're living and come into Christ. Be anointed and go out and do something for Him. Make... Don't leave your church. Just make a real, on fire Christian in your church. That's what it is. God will take the rest of it for you.

L-60 If you'll just simply accept... If you're a sinner and never have accepted Christ, won't you do it tonight? I'm saying this, because I'm trying to find favor with Him, that He will come down and perform what we're asking about, what we're going to ask Him to do, to appear here on this platform not as a--as a (oh, what would I call it) as a stage show, never. And that's not the attitude. That's not the Spirit I'm speaking in. I'm speaking to represent Jesus Christ to a dying world, to let them get their faith centered in Him to know that a religion of Christ in the Bible is not some fictitious book, or some--or--or a book like the Koran, or some other book. It's a living Book with a living Christ. It's a living Church. God grant that He will do it.
