<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>59-0706, Thinking On Our Ways, Church Of Faith, Cleveland, TN, 58 min
L-1 Cleveland, Tennessee, where I have so many precious friends, friends of the Lord Jesus of all denominational churches... And when I heard that I was--had the opportunity to return again to Cleveland, my heart was just stirred to come here to be with our precious noble brother, Brother Littlefield. And then, since I've come to the platform to find Brother Cook, and Brother Hall, and many other ministers here, which are precious bosom friends to me, and to know that we have a great services ahead... We are anticipating great things from the Lord.
And we want to send a special greeting to those out in the radio-land. We wish you were here tonight to look upon the anticipations of the--on the faces of the people as they are setting, waiting, like just something could happen at any time. The recorders are running, and the people with their fans a fanning, and... But in all of it, there seems to be a great look on the people expecting something to happen.

L-2 I see they begin to bring in the sick on the cots, and the wheelchairs, and so forth. We're expecting to have a great healing service here, the Lord to meet with us, and to bless His people as He has promised to do.
I believe that they are giving out, that tomorrow night starts the healing services. Then the boys will be giving out prayer cards between six-thirty and seven o'clock tomorrow afternoon, so that we can legitimately keep the people lined at the platform for the healing service. And then also, the following night, Wednesday night is to be another service--what we call healing service.
We don't mean by that that we're going to heal anyone. We believe that, by the grace of God we're going to let them know that God has already healed them, and they are just accepted it then. Just as we're trying to let the sinner know that God loves him, and He's already saved him, if he will just accept it. It's the work that Christ finished at Calvary when He made that all sufficient Word saying, "It is finished." The whole plan of salvation, all that could be done for mankind by the heart of God was finished when Christ said those words. God's plan was completed. We just have to have faith to receive what He has finished for us.

L-3 And then, I believe it's Wednesday morning was one of the great reasons that I'm here, to dedicate this tabernacle unto the Lord, the tabernacle that Brother Littlefield, I think, is to be pastor of. That will be ten o'clock Wednesday morning.
And I would like to see every Christian that could jam into the walls of that tabernacle, be there. For we don't only want to dedicate the tabernacle to the Lord and to His service, but we want to dedicate our own lives to Him in service. For the church just serves the purpose to shelter the people, but we are the Church, the chosen of Christ by His grace. And we are wanting to dedicate ourselves anew on Wednesday morning, ten o'clock for this service. If you're working, ask your boss to let you off just a little bit for this time. I believe he would do it, for this will be a great time for us all.

L-4 And now, tonight, it has been my privilege in to be a... given to me by the brother to come and speak to you for a few moments on the Scriptures.
Now there's anyone that is able to pull back the pages of the Bible, could open the Bible. But there is only One Who is sufficient to open the Bible to us; that is Christ. In the Scriptures it's written, "And there was no one found in heaven, no one in earth, or beneath the earth, that was worthy to take the Book or to loose the seals thereof or even to look thereon." And there was a Lamb came into the picture that had been slain since the foundation of the world; and He took the Book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne, for He was worthy.
May He open It to us tonight as we listen patiently. And before we do it, let us bow our heads and speak to the Author of this Book, the Bible.
