<TITLE>05. Par 17-20</TITLE>L-17 Lord, help I, Your unprofitable servant; cleanse me from all uncleanliness, anything that would be in my life, that would not be just according to Your will for me, take it away, O God. And let Thy Divine Spirit move through us all, that when we leave here tonight, and start on our road to our different places, may we be able to say like those who came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us, as He spoke to us along the way?"
We would ask tonight for Brother Ward's daughter, coming to the meeting to greet her daddy and mama, how that we struggle to get our children into this school. As she was coming on her road to hear the gospel of Thy Divine grace to heal the sick, the enemy has caused her to be crushed, or thrown into a car, or some way, and has hurt her. She's probably laying on the bed somewhere, now waiting, oh, let God's great mercy and His Divine presence, overshadow that child at this minute. We say to the enemy, take your hands from that child. And may the kindness of the Lord Jesus, bless her, that no harm come from this. Grant it, Father. May she hurry home, and be well, and healthy, and just be a testimony of God's grace. Heal others, Lord, who are waiting. For we asked it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-18 In the Word of the Lord tonight, just for a little familiar text, and then just to speak a few moments, because I know many of you might have to drive far, and it's slick... But I'm going to ask you tomorrow to get on the telephone, and call the sick people, and your neighbors, and bring them out, so that we can pray for them. And get the sinner friends and bring them in. Everybody would be welcome. If they are sinners, that's all right; this is a place where they should be.

L-19 And now, I want to take the Scripture reading from Saint John 12:20.
And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to the worship at the feast:
The same came therefore unto Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
I've read this Scripture many times, but never do I ever read it, unless it thrills my heart. God's Word is just as eternal as God is Himself, and God is a part of His Word. I'm a... my word; you're good as your word, and God is no better than His Word. And all down through the age, while men has read these Words, it thrilled their hearts. Then for a little context, or for a text, rather, as the campaign theme is based on Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-20 I would like to speak from this spot: why did we see Him? And I think that these Greeks, who came to the feast, well express the feeling of this audience tonight. And every man that has ever heard that wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, has longed to see Him. Oh, the anticipations of my heart is to see Him. The motive of my life, and my great objective is that someday I shall see Him face to face. Just to touch Him would be worth a thousand lives of service, and them lives full of struggles too, just to see Him.
