<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>59-0407, Led By The Spirit, Angelus Temple, Los Angeles, CA, 103 min
L-1 Let us remain standing now for a word of prayer.
O Lord, we are grateful to Thee tonight for this grand opportunity to come to Thee, and to call Thee our Father. Oh, what a privilege for a mortal to call God his Father. This was all made possible by the love of Thy beloved Son and His sacrifice when He died at Calvary to redeem this fallen race of Adam's back to God. And we're so thankful to Thee tonight for ever sending Him. And we pray that His Spirit, which is with us now, will bless us in the further part of this service. Bless the feeble efforts that we put forth to magnify His Name.
Save the lost, Lord. Let them realize tonight their serious conditions of being away from God in this great dark hour that we're living in. May they come back. If they have ever accepted Jesus as their Saviour, may tonight they hurry back and meet Him again. I'm sure He will be standing with outstretched arms, waiting. May something be done or said tonight that would cause them to act in this manner.

L-2 And we pray for the sick and the afflicted, that the Presence of the Holy Ghost will bring faith to the people's hearts, that they might accept their healing that Jesus gave to them some nineteen hundred years ago when He was striped at... in Pilate's judgment hall.
Forgive us of our shortcomings. Our unbelief, place it under His Blood. When we leave tonight, may we be able to say like those that came from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He talked to us?" For we ask it, in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-3 I was talking just a short while ago this late evening, or afternoon, rather, to little Ricky's father. And they're going to have little Ricky here Thursday night on the platform. I'm sure you'll all be glad to see little Ricky. That's the one we were testifying of last evening. They're going to bring him. He was a hopeless case. The doctors had give him up with cancer. And even to run his little tongue out of his mouth, and his little face swollen up... And the Lord Jesus immediately touched him, and he's living today. His father was here last evening, and is going to bring him Thursday night with the mother, here at the platform, the Lord willing.
I have been letting you out so late each evening till I'm... feel kindly ashamed of myself, so I'm going to hurry right up tonight and try to get the prayer line through.

L-4 I wish to read for a little quotation, which I'll just take a few moments to try to build a context around this that I'm reading for a text. I want to read from Saint Luke, the 2nd chapter, the 25th verse--reads like this:
 And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon;... the same... was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.

L-5 Our scene opens tonight, in that great historical city of Jerusalem, some two thousand years ago. Let's kinda believe it was on Monday morning just after a great day before of worshipping. And as there was in Palestine at that time, some two million Jews... So there...
They was very religious, devout to their laws. And it was a law that had been given them, that after a baby was born, a male, after eight days it must be circumcised. And then the mother must offer a sacrifice for her purification, for her cleansing.
