<TITLE>12. Par 47-51</TITLE>L-47 I wonder tonight, while we're just looking straight to each other, would there be someone here who was not a Christian, would like to just raise up your hand and say, "Minister, pray for me. I am not a Christian. I would like to be." Would you do that? The Lord bless you. The Lord bless you, all over the audience. God be merciful to you.
Now, I have finished my speaking on the subject of "The Expectations." What have you expected tonight? The Scripture says Christ has raised from the dead. And if He is risen, He remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.
How many has been here at the previous meetings and seen the working of the Holy Spirit, would you just raise your hand so that you...? Thank you. How many are here for your first time, would you raise your hands and just say, "I am here for my first time."? I am very happy to have you tonight, in here.

L-48 Now, I'm saying this before I start to pray for the sick. If there would, by chance, be someone, some person, who is critical, I have to say this according to the law, I am not responsible for what happens to them from this point on. See? Now, if you're here and you would not be reverent, I am asking you now, when we're singing this hymn and calling the prayer line, you may be dismissed. If you can stay and be reverent and respectable, then we'll be responsible for it in the further part of the meeting. The Lord bless you.
Now, we call prayer cards. I believe the first night we called people that had cards... They number them, so everyone will not be running at the platform at one time. It's not an arena now, it's a meeting place of Christians, which is called the Church, His mystical Body that meets together. Now, if... I believe the first night we taken the first part... My son gave a hundred cards out here. And last night, we just prayed for the people without the cards, just from the audience. I think that's right. So then tonight, let's call from the last part of the cards. Would say... I believe it's "T," like a cross. Turn your card over, and let's say, take the last group of them, say from eighty-five to one hundred and just let them, if they can stand, if they can't we'll pack them to the platform.

L-49 And then, we're going to sing now, if the pianist will give us, quietly,
 My Faith Looks Up To Thee,
 Thou Lamb of Calvary,
 Saviour divine;
 Now hear me while I pray,
 Take all my sin away,
 And let me from this day
 Be wholly Thine.

L-50 I want to ask first, who has prayer card 85? Would you raise your hand? The lady. Eighty--six, would you come right over here, lady, if you can walk? 86? The gentleman? Right here, sir. 87? Right over here, sir. 88? Now, if you can't walk, move your hands like this and the ushers will get you. 85, 86, 87, 88. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] These things are not done in a corner. I have...
Last night, how many in here witnessed me saying that I'd been in prayer on the mountain practically all day, for the enemy had set a trap? But God will deal with that enemy. See, it's foretold before it comes to pass, then you know that it was true.

L-51 I suppose, lady, that you and I are strangers to each other? We are. Now, this is a scene before your eyes as Scripture, Saint John 4. The lady, I have never seen. Someone give her a prayer card, had a number on it. Her number was just called at random, and here she stands. And to both of us before the God of heaven, we have never met before as far as I know. I do not know the lady; she does not know me. And then, this is the way it was in Saint John, the 4th chapter of the Gospel, that there was a Man and woman met for their first time. And Jesus told the woman where her trouble was, and she believed Him to be the Messiah, and told other people, "Isn't that the sign of the Messiah?"
If He remains the same tonight as He was then, that will continue to be the sign of the Messiah. That's... And He promised He would do it just before the world's destruction. We're living in that hour. We're marked.
