<TITLE>03. Par 8-10</TITLE>L-8 And then Sunday afternoon, I aim to see the film myself. So, if you're around here tomorrow night, go see Brother Osborn's film. It's always better to see it at nighttime, because it's darker in the room, and it shows a better picture.
And then Sunday night, the Philadelphian church is sponsoring a little farewell for Brother Joseph, which is going overseas. And that'll be held in the same building. I believe it's the school--Lakeview High School auditorium, just a little ways down Park Street here, Irving Park and National Avenue. All right. And that will be Sunday evening at seven-thirty. I'm be speaking and praying for the sick, the Lord willing.
I just set back a few days before going overseas again to Australia and the different places where I know there lays a battle waiting for me: How they did Oral Roberts there; what they did to Billy Graham; and I know my time's a coming. But I want to put in my part of the Gospel at the day of the judgment. See? My brothers went over and did their part; it's my duty to go to do my part. Then if they turn it down, then God is a Just God. He always shows mercy before judgment. I'm sure I can solicit the prayers of this group to be praying for me while I'm over there.

L-9 Now, before we open His Word, or read It so that He can open It to us, let us bow our heads for a word of prayer.
Gracious Lord, into Thy Presence we boldly come now, yet humbly, realizing that we have no standings at all, any merits that we could come this a way boldly. But it's because that we have been asked to come boldly to the throne of grace. And we come in the Name of Him Who bid us to come, the Lord Jesus. And we pray, God, that You will answer our prayer. And we have that blessed assurance that if our hearts condemn us not, that God will hear.
And if there'd be any thing in our lives that would be condemnation to us, then Lord, first forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. Because we know that He that told us to come, said, "If you, from your heart, do not forgive every man his trespasses, neither does your heavenly Father forgive you your trespasses." And therefore, when you pray, stand praying, forgive." Lord, if I have an enemy anywhere in this world, I pray, God, that You forgive the both of us, knowing that we are men and human beings that's striving to enter the Kingdom.

L-10 And I ask that You'll speak to us through Thy Word tonight, and make it a living Word to our hearts and minds. Then Lord, we'd pray for this convention closing out, we thank You for what it's meant to all of us. The Seed that's been sown into our hearts, God, may It grow and grow and grow.
Bless these men, these fine brethren who have assembled for this gathering, and these women--their wives, and sisters, and so forth, Your children. Make us all more better Christians and more fit for Thy service in this coming year. Answer prayer for my brethren, Lord, when they come to pray for the sick and for the needy. Hear them, O Lord. For Solomon said one day, "If thy people be in trouble, and turn towards this holy place, and pray, then hear from heaven." Lord, I pray that when they turn their face towards heaven and pray, then hear, Lord; answer their prayers. May their ministry grow this year, and the churches increase in numbers, and power, and favor before God.
We pray tonight that You'll heal the sick that's in the midst of us. Save those who are here to be saved. Fill with the Holy Spirit, those that are thirsting for righteousness. Speak through mortal lips and hear through the ears. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
