<TITLE>03. Par 15-20</TITLE>L-15 Lord, there has already been prayer offered in this place tonight. There has been... The songs of Zion has been sung by Your children. Their hearts has been lifted up, and we have come here to consecrate ourselves to Thee and to worship Thee from the depths of our soul. And we're calling this to Your remembrance, Lord, that You said when You set upon the mount and taught Your disciples, "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." You promised it, Lord. We are coming tonight with open hearts; we are coming hungering and thirsting, and we know You'll keep Your promise.
As we endeavor to open up these sacred pages of the Bible to read from It the contents, may the Holy Spirit just take It to every heart. And may that Seed fall down into deep, rich faith that will bring forth every promise that the Word has made. Hear us, Lord, and cleanse us, and try us. And if there be any unclean thing about us, Lord, any unconfessed sin, anything that's not right, reveal it just now, Lord, we'll walk right straight and do it; for we realize we're living in the shadows of the coming of the Lord Jesus. And we have, oh, holy God, come into the shadows of Thy--Thy justice tonight, and we are pleading for a new dedication, and consecration, and filling of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
Seeing the revival fires begin to dim, let us throw on wood of the Word, that it might kindle a new fire, that our hearts would be full of zeal. Sanctify us, Lord, through Thy precious Word, and Thy Blood, and Thy grace we plead; and all thanks and praise will be Thine. Take all prejudice from our hearts; cleanse us, oh Lord. Give us pure hearts, and clean hands, and clean minds, that we might come into Thy sanctuary night after night, rejoicing and filled with Your Spirit. We ask this in Jesus' Name and for His sake. Amen.

L-18 I wish to read the Word just now. And while I ask you to bring your Bibles, your pencils, your papers for Scriptures, if you so desire so, would be very fine. And I--while you're getting to the 7th chapter of Acts to begin with... To answer the question or to start in answering the question, "What Is The Holy Spirit?"...
There is nothing that will defeat Satan; there's never been nothing on the earth yet that would ever defeat Satan like the Word of God. Jesus used It in His great battle; He said, "It is written..."

L-20 And this morning while I've been listening, a few days ago, to a broadcast that seemed to want to tell that creation just come from some ashes blowing together, and some phosphate, and a few chemicals of the earth, and the warm sunshine created the germ of life and brought out life... How ridiculous, when the sunshine will kill any germ of life. Lay a germ out in the sunshine, it'll kill it immediately. And there is no such thing, but Satan trying to punch that at me... And after I'd taken my little Rebekah to school this morning, and on the road back I started to turn the radio on again; and I thought I'd get into that stuff again, so I just turned it back off.
And as I, going on up the street, Satan said to me; he said, "Do you know that this man that you call Jesus was just a man like, one day in his day, like Billy Graham or Oral Roberts. He was just a man that they begin to have a few people to gather around Him and to say, 'He's a great man.' And after while He become greater, and then he become a--a God to them. And now, it's scattered all over the world since He's dead, and that's all."
