<TITLE>02. Par 4-7</TITLE>L-4 Lord, we would be mindful that these meetings; when we gather here we pray for Your children that are sick and afflicted. And we ask that You'll meet with us today in a very special way to heal all the sickness and diseases among us. And it may be, Lord, that this promise that I've just been previously speaking of in the meeting with You there yesterday, right after daylight, and how that You confirmed it over and over again. And we feel that the hour is very close. And may this be the day, Lord, that it'll happen, that You will change the ministry, Lord, into something that'll be more gracious to Thy people.
And now, Father God, we would not only pray for these here, but for those stretched out across the world that are needy, both spiritually and physically. Give to them, O Lord, the desires of their hearts, because Thy children are struggling in these days. The oppression of the enemy is so strong, but Thou art stronger. For it is written, "Greater is He that's in you than he that's in the world." And by this we overcome. Speak to us through Thy written Word. And when we leave this morning, may we say like those that went from Emmaus, "Did not our hearts burn within us as He talked to us along the way?" We ask it in Jesus' Name, Who gave the promise. Amen.

L-6 I am reading now from two places in the Book of Genesis, one of them is found in the 24th chapter, beginning with the 56th verse, reads like this.
And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing the LORD has prospered my way; send me away that I may go to my master.
And they said, We will call the damsel, and enquire at her mouth.
And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
And they sent Rebekah away with her sis--their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant,...
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

L-7 And in Genesis 22, 15th verse, we read:
And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou has done this thing,... thou hast not with--withheld thy son, thy only son:
That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of... heaven, and as the sand... upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemy;
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
Now may the Lord add His blessings to the reading of His Words. Now I would like to take, if it should be called a text, my subject this morning first is testing before promised gates, and the subject is: "Possessing The Enemy's Gates."
