<TITLE>02. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 Now, we're trying each night to find something that I'm seeking after. And that is that God by a vision has told me that my ministry is making its third change. And I'm longing for it to begin here at the Tabernacle. I don't know whether it will or not, but I am longing for it to do that. And I trust that It'll be some way that will--I will be able to preach the Gospel in such a way or do something that will help suffering humanity to a happier way of life and a more healthier way of life. It's my sincere desire.
So it may be tonight that I ask my daughter-in-law about prayer cards. And she doesn't have any over there, and Billy usually keeps them, and Gene and Leo doesn't have any. So we'll just have to use the service's without that, I suppose, the best that we can. If we do tonight, we'll see how it comes out.
Then after these meetings, my next meetings is to be in New Zealand and then to also in Australia and down through that parts of the country.

L-9 Tonight I've chosen to read some Scriptures out of the Book of St. Mark the 7th chapter, if you wish to turn to it for a meditation for the message. And before we do that, let us just bow our heads just a moment and speak to Him.
Lord, we are grateful to Thee tonight for the privilege of meeting together once again. Thou has been so good to us through this day. You have provided us with life and strength that we have had the opportunity to come again to Your service and to worship Thee. And we are thankful for our country, that there is still an opportunity, and an open door that men and women can worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience. Long may it be, Lord. But we see according to the prophecy of the Bible that soon these doors will close worldwide.
So let us tonight receive the goodness of God, and the blessing, and all of the light that we can upon the Scriptures, Lord, that we might be prepared for that hour when it comes. That stored into our souls will be the Holy Spirit Who will be able to unravel these things to our minds.
We would ask especially tonight too, Lord, for those who are sick, needy, and afflicted. Thy great healing power and mercy will rest upon each of them. Bless Thy Word going forth, Lord. And we'll praise Thee; in Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen.

L-10 In St. Mark the 7th chapter we read a few verses like this.
Then came together unto Him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashed, hands, they found fault.
For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they washed their hands oft, eat noth... eat not, holding their tradition of the elders.
And when they came forth from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received and hold, as washing of cups, and pots,... and vases, and vessels, and of tables.
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the traditions of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
He answered and said unto them, Well hath Isaiah prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their hearts is far from me.
Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrine the commandments of man.
For laying aside the commandments of God, ye hold the tradition of man, as the washing of pots and of cups: and many other such like things you do.
And he said unto them, Full... ye reject the commandments of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
And in the Book of St. Matthew's, the 19th chapter and the 8th verse, and the last phase of that 8th verse, I wish to read for a text. And this is how it reads.
... but from the beginning it was not so.
