<TITLE>04. Par 10-12</TITLE>L-10 Great God, You have never lost Your power, and You never will, because You are the infinite God, Who had no beginning or You will never have an end. When this old world has so staggered with sin until it's come beyond the stars, and that if You have sent judgment and destroyed it, and there's no more world, nor moon, nor stars, or solar system, You'll still be God. When the deserts--the oceans has become deserts weeping from sin, You'll still be God.
And what is man, that Thou art mindful of him? Why is it that You're so kind to us to send Jesus, Your only begotten Son, that He would die to save us from our sins.
And then in this last closing hours of the world's history, when the world is staggering under the impact of sin, and hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs in the hands of the heathen, and the unbeliever, and the ungodly, who could destroy the whole world within a few seconds... We are told that by our modern science, and it's just about one minute until midnight. O Lord, wake up men and women. Anoint Your ministers, Lord, like flames of fire making the last call, the sign of the last day. And may it be great.

L-11 And may we see it tonight, the living Christ, Who is not dead, but has raised again for our justification, now lives among us in the Person of the Holy Ghost. May He come tonight and speak to every heart, visible and invisible audience. And may He perform in their hearts that work of the new birth. Bring to them the redemption power of His resurrection, taking away all shadows of doubts and unbelief, and destroying all skepticism, that the Church might move on in perfect harmony with the will of God as presented by the Bible and the Holy Spirit.
Take the Words that I shall read tonight from Thy Word, O Lord, and anoint them in the lips of Your servant, and place them in the hearts of the hearer. Circumcise the ears and hearts, Lord, that they might receive Thy Word. And then in the end, we'll bow our heads in humility towards the dust from which we were taken, and give Thee praise. For we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy beloved Son. Amen.

L-12 I would like to re--like to read tonight from the Book of Jeremiah 8:22, one verse.
 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is the health of the daughter of my people not recovered?
That was the question that Jeremiah, under the inspiration of God, asked as he brought this message many years ago in the gate of the temple. The city and the people had altogether gone out away from God. And God told Jeremiah the prophet to go stand in the gate and to speak these words: "Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? And then, if there is, why is it then that the health of the daughter of My people (which is the Church) is not recovered?"
The question is, "Why?" When God makes a provision, or a way of escape for the people, and they refuse to receive it, then God asked the question, "Why?"
I was reading a poem here some time ago. I may not be able to quote it, maybe a--a line, but it's something like this:
 When the great marching armies had stacked all their guns together,
 And when the mimic has played his last drama,
 And when the Bible is closed on the pulpit,
 And the preacher has made his last prayer,
 When the books of the judgment shall open,
 We'll be asked to give a reason, then why?
