<TITLE>03. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 Instead of having a foundation of my own, I passed it through my church here, 'cause it's automatically a foundation, anyhow. And to do that, helps me to keep from running away from the church, and leaving it, and go on out, and being nothing here, after I promised the people that I would return to the church, time after time, and help them. That's the reason I kept it like that, because I made a promise to you people. That's why I stay with it that way, instead of having a individual thing. If you do that, it throws it to an organization, and I'm firmly against organization. So I--I'll keep it just the way it is in the hands of God, so that we can move on for the kingdom of God.

L-11 Now, this morning we want to study this blessed old Word, and believe... Now, I want to say, too... I see Brother Eagan and many of a... some of the trustees settings here, after we had our trustee meeting the other night. It is true, I... It's publicly before the church, that each one of you all are no longer appointed trustees; you are elected trustees, and your name is on the books. All right.
And now, they're going to have some more election of--of--of deacons and so forth, and Brother Neville is--will be calling those immediately after this service. All right. It's for the treasurer and so forth, as we set the church up, and get it all... the backgrounds ready, then we can have a revival as it comes on.

L-12 Now, just before we turn back to the pages here for a Sunday School lesson, to this great Word of the living God, let us just bow our heads, a few moments, as we speak to the Author of this Book. And now, lay aside every thought, everything that's contrary, to keep you from having a blessing, let's pray.
Most holy and righteous God, into Thy blessed, august presence we come now offering to Thee, our lives, and our--our souls, and our bodies, and our services, and our talents; and all that we have, we present them to Thee. And as You look upon us, Lord, if there is any sin, naked and unconfessed, we would ask Thee, O Lord God, that You would apply the Blood of Thy Son, Jesus, to such a place. For realizing that we, in ourselves, are insufficient, and there it is impossible for us to ever be self-sustaining. But we rely completely upon His precious Blood and His grace to apply it to our account, that we, unworthy sinners, might come boldly someday into Thy presence, bringing before us this Blood of the Lord Jesus, which Thou in the times past has recognized it to be the Blood of Thy only begotten Son, and has made the promise, that through Him, if we confess our sins, we shall be justified by His grace.

L-13 And now, we would ask, Lord, that You would forgive us of any mistake, any sin of trespass or omission, transgression, that of any evil thought has a pierced our soul by the fiery dart of the devil, that You would drive away this evil enemy of Thine and of Thy people. And we would ask, that You would send the Holy Spirit to take a hold of the Word at this time, as we yield ourselves as instruments, that You would speak through us and hear through us Thy Word. And may we in return, receive it as from Thee, and leave this place today, feeling that we have been readjusted to the cause of Christ, that we might be better fit for the service of tonight and tomorrow, because of the visitation of the Holy Spirit.
Bless our brethren everywhere, the churches across the world, who's holding forth the Word of Life in this evil day. We feel that there is not much time left to work, for the night is swiftly coming. The war-clouds are floating again. Evil is at hand. And we pray that You'll let us work as never before. Rest our tired bodies, Lord, and send us back into the battle, for we ask it in the Name of the Lord Jesus and for His sake we pray. Amen.
