<TITLE>04. Par 13-16</TITLE>L-13 Abraham being a hundred years old before He received the promise, but all through that twenty-five years, no matter how long it took, Abraham left every thing contrary to God's Word. No matter how the circumstances looked, He--He endured as seeing Him Who was invisible.
And He called the things that were as though they were not: the weakness of Sarah's womb, the deadness of it, the deadness of his own body. Seventy-five years old when God gave him the promise, he was a hundred years old before the baby ever come. But instead of getting weaker, he got stronger all the time, be more of a miracle, confessing that he knowed nothing else. He already had everything ready for the baby, and they waited for twenty-five years, got stronger all the time, because God said so. And we are Abraham's children, and if we are Abraham's children, the faith of Abraham dwells in us. And we call anything contrary to God's Word (See?), as though it was not. We believe what God has said.

L-14 Now, before we open His Word, just for a little exhortation, and before we pray for the sick, let us bow our heads just a moment.
Eternal and blessed God, Who in sundry times and divers manners, spake to the fathers through the prophets, but in this last day has spoke to us through Thy beloved Son, the Lord Jesus... And oh, how we love to come together in heavenly places, gathered in His Name, where He promised that He would meet with us, and there fellowship around His Word, to have the privilege of feeling His Divine Spirit as It moves in upon us and gives us unction in our lives, for testimony to the Word of the living God.

L-15 Forgive us, our blessed Father, tonight, of any thing that we have did, or said, or even thought, that would be contrary to Thy Divine will. O Lord God, wash us in the Blood of Thy Child, as we humbly confess our wrong. Pour out upon us tonight that promised Spirit.
As we see the Gentile days ending, and the coming of the blessed Lord Jesus, we would ask that our hearts would be made pure as we study the Word. Give us the Word for the washing of the water by the Word, for to cleanse our minds from all unbelief. Take from our midst any shadows. Let us have Divine favor with Thee this night, Lord God.

L-16 And we pray that You will even sanctify this building in which the meeting is being held, that the Angels of God may take their positions by their posts, and by their seats, and around every person, that will sit in this building. And grant, Almighty God, that their hearts will be stirred by Thy presence.
Bless these ministering brethren on this platform, and maybe many out there that could not get in on the platform. We would ask that this would be a great time of refreshing for your children and your pastors, the shepherds of the flock. May Your presence be so great, that it would inspire them to move up closer, taking a new hold, and to shepherd the sheep in a great way.
