<TITLE>04. Par 10-13</TITLE>L-10 Lord, we are grateful to You from the depths of our heart for this grand setting again, that we can stand here in this beautiful city of the valley called San Jose, with all of it's surrounding sister cities. And tonight we feel that because of the meeting, this is the hub at the time, that where many churches from out of this city has come and placed their efforts, and have worked hard, and advertised, and getting things ready for the meeting. And God we've centered together here in one place in one accord, waiting for the moving of the Holy Spirit. He will come in with great power, that it'll be a meeting that will long be remembered.
And when the books is closed of earth's actions, and when they are finished, and we stand at the judgment bar, may it be said that when this meeting comes to be read off at that great day that literally hundreds, yes, thousands, will raise their hands in joyful tones, that it was at that meeting that I found Jesus as my Saviour. May then there come a blast from the great millions that will be standing, "It was there that my crooked leg was healed." And another, "My blinded eyes were opened." Grant it, Lord.

L-11 May it spread all out through the great wheels of God's economy, that every church will have a revival, and the power of the risen Christ shall surge through every church, and every member, until there'll be a revival all up and down these valleys. May it come again like it did years ago, Lord; bring forth the former and the latter rain together. And may Your people that's called by Your Name, may they be revived again. Bring us back to old-time Pentecostal meetings, Lord, where the Holy Spirit can have the right of way. May we lay aside all of our learnings and just be simple people led by the Holy Spirit. For we realize that that is the way He leads, in the way of simplicity. Grant it, Lord.

L-12 Speak through Your servant. Bless these pastors who have put these efforts forth in setting here before their congregation tonight, and all that is present. Lord, pour a special blessing upon them. May this meeting cause their ministries to be lifted higher; may they be so inspired, Lord. And the young men and women of their churches be inspired to go into the mission fields and hurry the coming of the Lord by taking this Gospel to every creature. Grant it, Father.
And at that great day when we shall stand in Your Presence, with humble heads we'll bow and say it was not our efforts, but it was Your Spirit that moved among us. Grant it, Lord. For we ask it in the Name of Your Son, the Lord Jesus, our Saviour. Amen.

L-13 I wish for you tonight that has your Bibles to turn with me to the Gospel of Saint Mark the 6th chapter for just a portion of the reading of the Word. Trusting that even the reading of the Word will be a great blessing to each one of you. And follow with me as we read.
I think one of the great things among Christians today; they don't read the Word enough. I think every home should have the Bible read in it two or three times a day.
I remember recently in Italy, even at the table when the sainted old father had his Bible laying on the table, before they would even eat they'd stand with one hand on the table, their left hand, the right hand ready to raise up to God. And the sainted old father would read a portion of Scripture, and they'd bow their heads and pray, raise up their hands and praise God for the bread that was on the table. Oh, the Holy Spirit feasts on the Word. "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth from the mouth of God." And this is God's Word. Learn to bring your Bibles now and read with us.
