<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And then, O God, as the disciples prayed once just after Pentecost, the great persecution had set in, and they prayed and said, "O Lord, stretch forth the hands of Thy holy Child to heal the sick and the afflicted." And we would say that tonight, Lord, as we preach the Word. Stretch forth His hand, and touch the sick and the afflicted, and may there not be a feeble one in our midst when we go out of here tonight. May every one be healed. Grant it, Father. May the saints rejoice to see that in this great hour of trial that our God still lives and has the same power, the same authority, and's proven Himself alive tonight. Grant these blessings.
Bless the ministers, all these who are cooperating, all the ministers throughout this valley, everywhere. And just may we have a great gathering, Lord, just the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon the peoples in this valley, and a great revival, till prayer meetings will be behind cactus stalks and everywhere until Jesus comes. Grant it, Lord.
Now, we pray for the people who let us have this place, and we pray that you'll bless them. And may we altogether be thankful and give Thee the praise. We ask it in the Name of the Lord Jesus, Thy Son. Amen.

L-6 Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word of God. And as we see the day approaching as it is now, I am very happy to know that we still have the Bible, God's eternal blessed Word. And there's nothing will never take Its place. There'll never be a denomination, or a church, or never be a person, or an individual will ever take the place of this written Word. 'Cause in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
And the Bible is just the prophet to, by a gift of knowledge, foresaw what God spoke before the foundation of the world. Think of how beautiful. Before the foundation of the world, God spoke these words. See, He was--He looked, and as He seen the great oncoming, and He saw what had taken place...

L-7 And now, He said, "In the beginning was the Word." And before it could be a Word it had... What is a word? A "word" is a "thought expressed." And God, in His mind He was thinking just what would take place, and then after He received it into His mind, and all was yet not official yet, because it was in His mind. But when He once speaks it, He can never take it back. It's forever. It's part of Him. And there's our confidence we have in Him, because that He cannot take His Word back.
We have to take ours back, because we're human. We make all kinds of mistakes. But God can't take His back, 'cause He's God, and He's infinite. He knows everything. He knows the end from the beginning. And when we look down upon these precious lines, how it thrills our hearts to know that they're just so real--just so real.

L-8 Now, being we're going to pray for the sick in the manner that I pray for them, I want to read just a little portion of God's Word tonight out of the 12th chapter of Saint John, and about the 30th verse and the 31st. And now, I trust that God will add Hi... I beg your pardon. This is the, 20th verse, 21st verse. And may the Lord add His blessings as we read.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to the worship at the feast:
And the same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethesda of Galilee, desiring--desired him, saying, Sirs, we would see Jesus.
