<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>60-0731, Show Us The Father And It Will Satisfy Us, Eisenhower High School, Yakima, WA, 103 min
L-1 Let us remain standing just a moment for prayer, while we bow our heads.
Most gracious, and holy Father, as we approach Thy Divine throne of grace, we stand in the shadows of Thy justice. We would ask, Lord, that by Your grace that You would forgive us of our sins and trespasses. We desire mercy. Do not judge us according to our lives and our works. Do not give us justice, but give us mercy.
And Father, we pray that You'll make this a--an afternoon that'll long be remembered, because of Your Presence. Thanking You for what You've done this morning around over the city, and through out the valley, and over the world. Pray, God, that You'll continue to be with us and giving us Thy grace and mercy until Jesus comes. Bless the words that shall be read and the--the comments that'll be past upon the Word. Let Thy Spirit be in all that we do or say. Heal the sick and the afflicted.

L-2 And we would not forget, Lord, the convalescents, those who cannot come. We pray that the Holy Spirit will stand by their bed this afternoon, while many, here in the building, are packing burdens for them, may they be healed.
Life is over and we stand in Thy Presence, we'll bow humbly to thank Thee and give Thee all the praise. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. You may be seated.

L-3 It is such a delight to come and speak to an audience in the Name of the Lord Jesus, having this assurance, that He--He will never leave us nor forsake us; He will be with us in every trial that we have. And just a humble faith to believe Him, accept Him as our Saviour, and believe on Him for all that we have need of in life...
I know it's awfully hot this afternoon, but you'd be surprised how much difference it is here than it is in the Belgium Congo, where they would come, and down in South Africa. They would come of a morning, and they would lay on the grounds all day long in that hot, blistering sun, not for just a day, but wait there for two or three weeks for me to get to the nation. Come down through the jungles, packing their loved ones on boards and things. The lion would come, and they'd push them up the tree, and wait maybe a day or till the lion left, then come on down. Maybe go a little farther. Try to get a drink out of a water flowing, the crocodile would get one of the children, they'd keep moving on. See? They weep for a few hours, know that it's over and go on. That's the people; they don't mind the heat. They're trying to find life. See? They're trying to find something that gives peace, and that passes understanding.

L-4 And this afternoon, let's keep that--such a loyalty on our mind as we set this afternoon. I know it's hot, but we can't govern the weather. We've got to have hot weather to bring forth the fruit and so forth. God knows how to temper His earth to--to bring forth the abundance for us to live on. And if we had all rain, and shadows, and so forth, we would starve. So we're very thankful to be here. And I see the people has the fans in your hand, now if you're just got the electricity, why, it'll be all right then, it'll help cool a little bit.

L-5 Now, let us approach the Word by St. John, the 14th chapter. Beginning tomorrow night, the Lord willing, I wish to speak a series of subjects, building faith, if I can. God will help me. I want to try to build faith for oncoming services, this next week. Try to, if you can, I know many of you work, and it's hard to get out. I don't--don't have to--want to say this for you to come, just--many times those expressions are made, I hope not, never been here...
Many times, people wants large crowds out to get certain offerings. Many times they want large crowds out for the psychological effect it has on the people, that can... Many people say, "Well, I don't want to preach, unless there's a big crowd."
