<TITLE>03. Par 9-12</TITLE>L-9 We will be giving out the car--prayer cards then tonight, and calling the people. There may be... If there is a--a lots of them, I'll send Gene or Billy, or one of them down this afternoon about (What time you start your service, Junie? Seven-thirty... ) six-thirty, then. And they'll give you the cards, and we'll pray for everybody that's got a--the cards. That means everybody would be able to prayed for, but we will... in a little congregation... But what we'll do, we'll let it rotate in line, and let... I'll tell them to give the prayer cards to the strangers, and then let the home people come next, 'cause it will be the home people close (You see?), so they'll... They understand.

L-10 Now, sometimes at home... Here it's kinda hard to have a discerning meeting. Mrs. Wood setting close now. When I went down to the church, and I would have a service of a... I'd say now... And we may do it that way tonight. Before there was any prayer cards or anything given out, the Holy Spirit would be near, and call out certain people. And I'd say, "Everybody here's a stranger, stand up." See? Let them all stand up. And say, "All right, this is So-and-so from," whatever the Holy Spirit would say, and do that. And then, the next time I'd turn around...
And lots of people here in our city would say, "Well, we didn't know those people. We didn't know what was the matter with them. That might have been wrong."
Next time, say, "All right, we'll just take the folks that's home, let them stand up."
"Why, he knowed them people. Sure, he know..." So you see, Satan has got a trap set everywhere. See? He's--he's ready at any time. And so, some of them say, "Well, if you just have that straight discernment like that, the rest of the people don't get a chance to get in the prayer line." Some of them say, "Well, if you have the... I'd rather be prayed for." Well--well it's just vice versa. So we have first one way and then another.

L-11 And they--they'll be like that until Jesus comes. You can... The Gospel always brings a mixed multitude. The effects of the preaching of Christ always brings a mixed multitude. It brings believers, make-believers, and unbelievers. That's the congregation that you have. So we expect all that. So we are looking forward till... for tonight being a great time in the Lord.
Now, just before we open the Word... (And you let out about eleven-thirty, I suppose, Brother Junior?) And then them people who wants to be in the prayer line tonight, so they can line them up. If there comes a group for the outside, then we can bring them in, you know, through the doors and so forth. You come at six thirty.

L-12 Let us bow our heads now before we read the Word. Our precious Lord, we thank Thee most humbly from the depths of our heart for this living hope that we have within this dying body. There is a Lord God and Jesus Christ. And through His mercy and His goodness, He has given to us Eternal Life. And that great hope is in us today, and we feel it as a--a well bubbling up in our souls, giving us the assurance that all God's Words are true. And so glad to know today that we do not have to just guess about it. It is no more a guess; it is a know-so; for we have read His promise and see Him come and fulfill that promise to the Word. Therefore, we know that it is true.
And we're grateful for the Holy Ghost Who's a witness of His resurrection. And we're grateful for ministers, true prophets of God, who stand for truth and for righteousness. And we're pray that You will bless those people today, wherever they may be in their pulpits over the world, that the Holy Spirit will move upon them in power and give them Thy Word. And may it bring forth great results everywhere, for we believe that the coming of Jesus is at hand.
