<TITLE>01. Par 1-2</TITLE>59-1108, Possessing The Enemy's Gates, Branham Tabernacle, Jeffersonville, IN, 86 min
L-1 Good morning, everybody. And happy to be back again this morning at the Tabernacle to pray for the sick people today. It's usually... We try to get in every so often and--and pray for the people who come in from the different places for prayer.
And now, we'll be leaving pretty soon now for the California and west coast meetings. And we sure solicit your prayers that God of heaven will be merciful to us there and give us a great services.
Just got in yesterday, or last night rather, late. And yesterday was one of the... Well, day before yesterday and yesterday was one of the great red letter days of my life. There... I knows at least two people or three in the building who is witness of the coming down of the Lord yesterday. And a great wonderful thing taken place, which I haven't got the time this morning to tell you, but maybe next Sunday morning before we leave I may be--have time in the message to--to tell you.
If the Lord is willing I'll be down at least to pray for the sick Sunday morning. We may want to leave about noon if possible for the San Jose meeting in San Jose, California.
1a      And if you have any people around on the west coast there that's... We believe is going to be maybe the hour that I have looked for so long, the change in my ministry coming. And it's so close. I thought it was going to happen yesterday. And I believe that it will be right away now. And it'll be far beyond anything that we've ever seen or heard yet. Now, you remember that's THUS SAITH THE LORD, friend.
And so, we're just expecting it any time. And we're... They have the meeting now at the fairgrounds. I believe that's right, isn't it, Gene? At the fairgrounds at the San Jose, California. And it'll be a ten days meeting beginning the 20th through the 29th at San Jose.
Now, just be remembering us and praying for us. Now, we have about, if we get out in time, about one and a half hours, now that we're going to start our services for praying for the sick and bringing the Word. And I have chosen this morning a small passage of Scripture, two places in the Bible, to speak on. But before we speak, let us bow our heads just a moment for prayer.

L-2 Most gracious God, we humbly approach Thy throne of grace this morning, as unworthy children, but coming with an unadulterated faith in God, that was given to us by the Holy Spirit and His ever Presence with us. And through a promise by the Lord Jesus, that if we would come humbly and would ask anything in His Name, we would be granted our petition. Therefore, we do not look back upon our merits, because we do not have any such, but we look back to the merits of Calvary, where our grace was given to us freely by the Son of God. And we can hardly choke back the tears that would run down our throats when we think of we, the unworthy people, and how that by His grace there at Calvary He did that for us, that we might be brought so close to God, even to relationship. And now we are sons and daughters to Him.
And we come this morning, Lord, under this little roof to dedicate ourselves, and for service, confessing our sins, and--and in Divine worship. We trust that You will be with us and give us a spiritual insight of Thy close coming, that we might prepare our hearts daily for that great event that's been looked for for thousands of years. Truly all nature is groaning, crying to be released. And our spirits within us, Lord, are constantly confessing that we are pilgrims and strangers, and this is not our home, but we seek a City whose Builder and Maker is God. We look for that great time to come.
