<TITLE>09. Par 38-44</TITLE>L-38 Let us pray. O Lord, You know the weakness of human life. And You know the strength of the Name of Jesus. For He told us when He was on earth, that to believe that what we said would come to pass and we could have what we had said. Give us faith tonight, Lord; give us faith as we claim a revival, an out pouring of Thy Spirit here in the Angelus Temple in these coming days. Give us of Thy blessings tonight to start at this time, and may men and women who are sitting here, that's longed and waited for a time to when they could reach out by faith and say, "Jesus, I now surrender my whole life to You. I now am sick and tired of just a halfway living for You." Grant tonight, Lord, that they may experience the great pouring out of the Holy Ghost in their life.

L-39 Give to that poor wayward sinner, Lord, who's an alien from God, cut off without God, without hope, without mercy. And in due season Christ died for that person, and now has sent the Holy Spirit to bring them to Him. Grant, Lord, that that person tonight will be able to receive Thee as their personal Saviour.

L-40 And may the revival get on its way right quick, Lord. Let us be like Longfellow said, "Be not like dumb driven cattle, but be a hero." Grant, Lord, that every Christian will pull up a little closer to You, take up his faith, and present it to You, say, "Lord, help me to do everything that's in my power now, seeing that You're near." that the great Jesus Who walked in Galilee, sending the Holy Spirit, His Representative, to represent Him through this age, grant that they will accept Him tonight.

L-41 O Lord, we would pray also for those who are sick and needy, those that are bound in chairs and in cots and on stretchers; Thou art more than willing to set them free tonight. If that little spark of faith, which they are now fumbling around in their heart, let it catch fire, Lord, like a kindling wood to the promise of God. May they rise from their chairs and--and from their sick conditions tonight: with heart trouble and different ailments, and be set free by the Son of God, there might begin an old fashion revival in Los Angeles.

L-42 Those out into the radio land, Lord, who are sick and afflicted, as we hear from them daily... "Oh, how I wished I could get to the temple," they say. Go out there now, Lord, on the ether waves of this radio. Go by that old dad laying there in the bed, mother there in the hospital, and the little baby, or whatever it might be; let the power of the living God come into their life and condemn their sickness in the light of Calvary, and raise them to health and strength again.

L-43 That sinner that might be listening in at this time, Lord, may they surrender their life right now. That wayward boy that mama could not get to go to church, but by chance is listening in, that girl that's in this teen-age rock-and-roll, God, let her know that that little body of hers will be eat by cankerworms soon. Then where will that wandering soul be yonder in the midst of demons of torment through all ages to come. God, may that child turn quickly to Jesus tonight. Grant it, for we ask it in Jesus Name. Amen.

L-44 Just before... I told Billy not to give out any prayer cards tonight. I had another thing on my mind. My soul is burning for revival. That's what's burning my heart up. When I first come to Los Angeles, I'd heard of the founder of this Temple, Mrs. McPherson, and I went up to East--to the Forest Lawn I believe it's called, and visit her grave, and stood there, bowed my head, and said, "Lord, thank You for a great life of this woman." I didn't know her, never had the privilege of seeing her. I've got her tapes at home and her books and things that I've read. The lady perhaps made her mistakes as I have, and you have. We've all made them. But this Temple tonight stands as a memorial of her love to Jesus Christ.
