<TITLE>03. Par 8-11</TITLE>L-8 Lord, we now solemnly, and honorably, and childlike, walk on the sacred grounds of prayer. We lay aside every weight, every sin, every thought that does so easily beset us, that we might run with patience the race that's set before us. And as we move into these blessed sacred sands of prayer, knowing this, that Jesus said, "Ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll do it." And again it is written: "If ye abide in Me and My Word in you, ask what you will and it shall be done unto you."
Then we come, Lord, not in the name of this little church, or in the name of its pastor, though we love them; or not in our own name, because we have nothing to offer through it; but we come in that all sufficient Name of the Lord Jesus Who gave us the promise that if we ask in His Name we could receive whatever we ask. And we would not want to ask anything that was amiss. We would want to ask only that which would be pleasing to You. You know our conditions. You know what we have need of. You know what this little church has need of and what each individual has need of. And we'd prayed Thee, Lord God, to give to us severally as we have needs. May the great Holy Spirit move down upon this building, and around these people, and sanctify this group, that the Holy Spirit might have the right away through every heart here tonight, from the least of the children to the oldest. Grant it, Lord.

L-9 These hands that were lifted up, You most surely seen them, Lord; if a sparrow could not fall in the street without You knowing it, how much more do You know when a child of Yours lifts its hand towards heaven for bread. We are promised that it will not receive a stone instead. We know that You shall give them the bread that they ask for.
And we would ask to remember all that's sick and afflicted. So glad to hear from Brother Rogers, that he said he felt well enough to go to work. We are so glad for that, Lord, praying that You will heal him, that that cancer will not have the--the right away, but will be stopped by the Blood of the Lord Jesus. By faith we place the Blood of the Lord Jesus between the death cancer and our brother.
Now, we ask for all that's needy everywhere; get glory to Thyself; honor Thy Word, Lord, as we have read It, and give us a great healing service. For the glory of God we ask it in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.

L-10 For our text tonight I would like to use the three words: "Why Cry? Speak." And for a subject I would like to use, "The Attitude of People Towards God's Anointed," and just for a short time, perhaps twenty minutes, or thirty, then we'll start the prayer line.

L-11 God had called Moses, a special calling. And when God calls a man and anoints him for a--a certain duty, He expects that man to carry that out to the letter. God doesn't want to give a man a commission and him hum-haw around about it. He wants him to go straight forward and do just exactly what he's commissioned to do. Don't look right or left. Just move forward.
And the children of Israel had been in bondage for some four hundred years. But God had promised that He would visit them. And God keeps every promise that He makes. He cannot lie; He's God.
And the time had come for this visitation. And I believe tonight, paralleling, that God made a promise that He would return again. And I believe that we are near that time. This morning when I was speaking on that subject, I could almost feel the--the current, as the saying, that the nearness of the Lord Jesus.
