<TITLE>02. Par 7-10</TITLE>L-7 And I got to meet some more pastors. And I hope that someday by God's grace, we can have a great, union revival here and stay a little while. You, see? If you notice, you from the Maranatha Temple, each night how the services just get... See? You get the superstitions away and all the, as the Doctor Mordecai Hamm used to say, "the spooks away." That's the scares. Mordecai Hamm, how many ever heard of Mordecai Hamm? Are you... He was one of... I was... Finest friends that--one of the finest friends that I have.
And he's a... Billy Graham was converted under Mordecai Hamm's ministry. And he and I were together when we met Billy the other day. Mordecai Hamm lives just across the river from me and we've lived there together for years. And so I think it's a lot of spooks too, when we try to think it's something that's going to bother us and they look on suspicious. And you got a right to do that. We're living in the day when everything's floating around.

L-8 So then, I don't blame shepherds from watching for their flock. That's what they should do. That's their duty. And then when you are convinced, and you notice them, why, just the whole thing just comes into one big bundle of fellowship and love. Then the Holy Spirit really goes to moving among the people.
And we trust that--that that'll be in every church when we leave here, and we'll leave that kind of a mark behind us in this little revival, that we love you, and we know you love God, and the Holy Spirit will be in every church, blessing every person. Now, before we open up His Word, shall we just bow for a moment of prayer.

L-9 Our kind, heavenly Father, we thank Thee so much for the Lord Jesus, knowing that through Him, that's why our paths crossed today. And we think of what this world would be or we try to think. We couldn't imagine what it would be if Jesus had never come to the earth. Oh, what a... We would be worse than animals on the earth. Such an... Oh, not even--you couldn't walk a--you--we'd have no streets to walk on, for we realize that civilization came by God. So we thank Thee for sending Him and introducing to us the way back home.
And we pray today that You'll forgive us of our sins and our shortcoming. We pray that You'll bless each one that's gathered out here on this rainy, stormy afternoon. And may it not be in vain, but may the Holy Spirit come down and fellowship with us in the Word. Grant it, Lord.
And if there be any unsaved, may they accept Thee, and may the children that's already believed on Thee, may they be persuaded to come just a little closer and walk a little closer to the Lord. Grant it, Father, for we ask it in Christ's Name. Amen.

L-10 In the blessed Word, Saint John, the 1st chapter, I've practically been on that chapter all week down at the Maranatha Temple. And I wish to read just some more of it today, the 1st chapter of Saint John, the gospel. And we'll begin about the 29th verse of the 1st chapter.
 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world.
 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.
 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.
 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.
