<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>57-0807, Hear Ye Him, Edmonton Arena, Edmonton, AB, 101 min
L-1 Thank you, Brother Thompson. Let us pray. Blessed Father, we are indeed happy to come before Thee tonight and to ask these favors, that You would pour out of Your Spirit upon us all tonight and just shed abroad Thy love in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. And we pray that You'll heal the sick and the needy, and get glory to Thyself. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated again.
Let's be expecting tonight that the Lord is going to give us the night that we have looked forward to every since we been in the city. Just an exceeding abundantly tonight is my prayer.

L-2 I wish to read tonight from St. Matthew's Gospel, and the 17th chapter, to those who usually take down the--the Word. I love to read the Word, because I know if no more than just the Word being read, there'll be a blessing by that. My words will fail because it's the word of a man. God's Word will never fail because It's the Word of God. And we know that that much... If we read the Scriptures each time when we come to the service, there will be a blessing, because that it's God's eternal and blessed Word.
And after six days Jesus taken Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart,
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was as white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.
Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make unto thee... three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.
While he yet spake these, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

L-3 And I wish to take tonight for a text, them last three words: "Hear Ye Him." We find as we read this marvelous Word of God, we find that where our Lord Jesus was always about the Father's business. Every step that He made had a meaning. There was not one act that He did but what was ordained of God. And it does us so good to think that the Bible said, "The footsteps of a righteous is ordered of the Lord." And if we'll just do what's in our heart...
David was once setting before Nathan the prophet, and he said, "Is it right that I'd live in a house of cedar and the ark of my God under a tent?"
And Nathanael said to him, "Do all that's in thine heart for God is with thee." And we find in our most unusual Scripture reading tonight, a very outstanding instant.

L-4 Many times, no doubt, the clergyman in the building, the pastors and evangelists, has preached of this many times; but every time that you preach anywhere in God's Word, it's something new. There has been thousands of pastors and evangelists since the day this was written, has preached the same subject, and every time they preach it there's something new. Now, every time you read a place in God's Word, it opens up something new to you. It goes to show that it's inspired.
If I wrote you a letter, you would, perhaps, appreciate it, might keep it for a while. But that letter only will soon run out. It only has an evaluation of our friendship. And now, after you're gone, then that letter would hold, perhaps, nothing at all. But not so with God's Word. Every generation It's just as new and life giving as It was the day It was written.
