<TITLE>06. Par 45-50</TITLE>L-45 Now, Hebrews 11, let's read the 1st verse, beginning, and we'll read quite a few verses.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Isn't that rich? Let me read that 3rd verse again. Listen closely.
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (The Word of God.)
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it... being dead yet spake.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death and was not found, because God... translated him: for before his translation he had a testimony, that he pleased God. (Five hundred years of life too.)
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of those that diligently seek him.
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by... which he condemned the world, and became heir of... righteousness which is by--which is by faith.

L-47 Now, let us pray just a moment, and bow our heads. Lord, our most gracious God and Father, we come now into Thy Presence again with thanksgiving. And not only are we now feeling that we are in Thy Presence because that we have bowed our heads to pray, but we believe that we are constantly in Thy Presence, because that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro through the earth. And you know all things, and You know the thoughts of the heart.
Therefore, Lord, the reason we bow our heads, is to ask this petition, that You would forgive us for all of our trespasses and transgressions against Thee, and that Thy mercy once more would be extended to us; insomuch that You'd open our lips to speak and our ears to hear, and that Thy Word might become real to us tonight; that these few verses that we have chosen to read might become a great help to every member of Thy mystical body on the earth, Thy spiritual church, the church of the Firstborn, that church that's been bought by the Blood of Jesus, that's been washed and has been sanctified, and will be presented to God that Day, without a blemish or a wrinkle. How we thank Thee to have faith to believe that we are partakers of this goodness of God, through the righteousness and mercy of our Lord Jesus.

L-50 Praying now that You'll heal all the sickness, thanking You for touching that little girl just a few moments ago, laying doubled in the room in there from pain: see her walk out, that little childlike faith, and accepting You and Your mercy. And we thank Thee for this; and pray that You'll remember Sister Baker's little loved one over in Kentucky, and the ones that Brother Neville spoke of, and, O God, the innumerable camp of the sick everywhere. And especially, Lord, those that are unsaved and know Thee not; if they should die in their sins, they could not come where You are.
We pray that You'll give us witness and power, boldness to speak the Word, and wisdom to know when to speak It. And then speak to us when we have said enough, that we might walk away and leave the people in the amazement, wondering, of the great Holy Spirit and His work. Grant it, Lord. Hear us now, we pray. In Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen.
