<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>58-0508, The Expectations, Memorial Auditorium, Burlington, VT, 88 min
L-1 Let us remain standing just a moment, if you will, while we bow our heads for prayer.
Eternal and blessed God, we are thankful to Thee for what our eyes have seen and our ears have heard. And we could join in with the poet who wrote the song to that. And we are so glad to know that the Christian religion is not just a book of rules, but it is an experience of a living, ever-present God.
We leave these children in Your hands, Lord. And we pray that they will grow in grace, and their churches from which they are from, will be blessed, and may there be revival in the land. And those who have so gallantly stood and accepted Thee as their personal Saviour, we would ask that You would grant, Lord, Your rich blessings upon them. And to those who have accepted Thee as their Healer, may You bless them and may their testimony--when the doctor has given them release--may it be wonderful. And may it cause the doctors to pray for their patients and to realize that, God, You're the only One who can heal us. And we would ask You to continue with us tonight that Thy mercies may be upon us.

L-2 And we realize that we are fighting a strong enemy. And our warfares are not carnal, but is strong, bringing down the strongholds of the enemy.
And help us to unite our hearts together tonight, as we look to Thee now to fellowship with Thee around Thy written Word. And then, Lord, may sinners find their place at the altar of God in their heart, and repent, and become Your children. And then, may the sick be healed. And may there be glory in the city because of Thy visit with us. We ask it in the Name of Thy Son, Jesus. Amen. You may be seated.

L-3 I say this with sincerity from my heart: I am sorry tonight that I--this is the closing night of our little meeting. I'm just getting acquainted with you, just to feel like that you are--you are part of us, which you are in the beginning. But then that's the way it seems to be when I'm here in the homelands, and if--abroad too. It's just, "How do you do. I'm glad to meet you. The Lord bless you. See you again." But there's one great thing that I have in mind as I travel in meeting these wonderful children of God, that someday we'll meet where we will never no more part. There will not be sections in heaven for some of God's children to live in one place and some another. I believe His children will all rally together. I'm looking forward for that time.

L-4 We do not know just what it is, but we are taught in the Scriptures, that eye has not seen, nor ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the hearts of man, what God has for them in store, that love Him. So above all things to you, love the Lord Jesus and do honor to God the Father. And believe His servants, the ministers, your pastors. And teach the Word, and be instant in season and out of season. And pray for God to save the lost and to heal the sick.
Remember, Divine healing doesn't come just when an evangelist comes. God is in your churches. He's in your people. He's in you. He will heal you when you believe Him. You don't have to wait for a certain evangelist to come. God doesn't have to have the evangelist, though He uses them. But that's just to stir; the gifts are to stir... The Healer is always there, God.
