<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>59-0414, Thirsting For Life, Angelus Temple, Los Angeles, CA, 72 min
L-1 In a few moments for prayer. Let us bow our heads. And while we are--have our heads bowed, I want each of you to pray especially for a--a sister that's been brought here from the hospital, near death. And ask God to be merciful at this time. Maybe we can find favor with Him now for her.
Lord, Thou art God. You were God before there was a world. And when there is no world, You will still remain God. And we come to Thee to confess all of our faults, and our sins, and our errors asking that You forgive us, and to cleanse our heart and minds from any shadow of unbelief.

L-2 And let Thy Spirit come so near at this time, that You would heal this dear sick woman that we are praying so sincerely for. Only You alone, Lord, can do this. And let it be so, Lord. We love You, and we are--we... We say as the boy's father, "Help Thou our unbelief, Lord," that we might be strengthened in this hour for this prayer, that it might go to Thee, in so much that it would touch the hem of Thy garment. May, turning, You speak to her, and let her live for the Kingdom of God's sake.
And we pray for others who are in Divine Presence, and those who are in the Presence in radio-land. Let Thy healing Spirit be upon them. And forgive us of our sins and all of our trespasses, and give us of Thy Word tonight, that we might feast upon It. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. You may be seated.

L-3 We are starting in a new week here at the Angelus Temple. And trusting that we have favor with Almighty God to continue on.
Billy was telling me that there has been many people in the building who has prayer cards. I--I probably some nights, didn't take them up. And there was several of you having prayer cards, and some from other meetings that's still carrying prayer cards from former meetings.
I thought tomorrow night, if the Lord willing, you who know is holding prayer cards, we'll take up all the prayer cards tomorrow night in a prayer line, starting prayer service tomorrow night for the sick. And we appreciate if you'll tell the peoples who--who hasn't been in the prayer line yet, and have a prayer card, that they will be here tomorrow night for prayer service for the sick.

L-4 Usually, I don't run every night in the prayer line, because of the discernment, like, it has such a--a--an effect upon me of weakening. And I have several meetings. If it was just this one, it would different. But I go from this to another, to another, and overseas, and...
And when I left home, I think there was around four hundred major cities in the United States calling now for meetings, in just here in the United States, beside practically every nation under the heaven: Africa, India, Australia, New Zealand, Siam, the Islands, Europe, Asia, everywhere, just calling, begging, signing petitions, and--and the officials of the cities signing for meetings.

L-5 And my greatest ministry is overseas. But I don't want to go over there asking the peoples to pay my way and things. I go along here, and just as the people give to me, I save it, as much as I can, till I accumulate enough to go over, so I can pay my own way with the American money, to those poor people who doesn't have enough to eat. I know missionaries tonight, that's preaching the Gospel in the jungles on two meals a week with no shoes on their feet. Now, how could you expect me to live in luxury and such as that going on. Why, they'll stand in the day of judgment and condemn us for the things that we have, and yet, we should divide.
I keep my meetings little, as you see. I don't have no broadcast, or no television programs, and nothing big. I--I keep it small, so I can work every penny of money I can over to the--the fields, and do all that I can. My expenses are pretty heavy.
