<TITLE>04. Par 21-25</TITLE>L-21 He took in some kind of--taken some kind of a sulfur tablets, burned him in his throat here. And he's going to be in the prayer line, I think, this morning. Come up and I know that I'd announce that after Billy had already give out, or was--going to know that they was going to give out prayer cards. I told his son-in-law, my good friend, Brother Creech, to bring--bring him up. And I thought, if I missed him then I would catch him and put him in one of these prayer rooms here. But he had a prayer card, and I said, "Busty, I want you to go out there." His name's Everett; we just call him Busty for short. And he--he... I told him, "Go on out and get in the prayer line. I'd rather pray for you while the anointing is on for that." So I like to have it. I know, I was being prayed for, I'd want somebody to be anointed when they're praying for me.

L-22 Now, let's turn in our Bible this morning, open up to the Book of Ruth. I'm going to read some Scripture out of this--out of the Book of Ruth. And now, just before we approach this subject, and if I would, I'd like to announce my text for this morning, is called "The Kinsman Redeemer." And I'd like to approach it from four different standpoints on redemption.
Thinking, last Sunday was preaching on how that Christ came to redeem us. And then today I want to speak on what is a Redeemer and how does He become a Redeemer? And remember, a Redeemer redeems you completely when He redeems you: from your sins, from your sickness, from everything that's wrong. He is a Redeemer.
Now, before we approach it, let's bow our heads and speak to Him by prayer. And now, with our heads bowed, I wonder how many this morning in Presence would like to be remembered in prayer by raising up your hands and saying, "God, You know my request"? God bless you, each one.

L-25 Our heavenly Father, I am so glad today that there is a great high power. Knowing that God, that we can approach through His Son Christ Jesus, and have a--an answer to what we ask. As in the past meeting we were speaking on how that men wandered about in sheepskin, and goatskins, and was destituted, looking for a city whose Builder and Maker was God, knowing if they could ever once approach Him, if they could find where He was... As Job of old said, "If I could go knock on His door," in otherwise, "If I could find where He--He abides at, I would go home with Him, and would--would talk to Him face to face." But there was no way for man to do that because he had sinned, and had separated himself and become an alien to God. But through that precious One Who came, and opened up the way, and forgave our sins, and bring us before God, not as aliens, but as children coming to their Father, knowing that He will grant to us every request that we ask. Only one law is laid down; that is, "If thou canst believe." And that is the agreement.
Satan claims that we will not believe, and God says we will believe. Now, the battle's on, and the decision is ours to make. And whichever way our decision's made, that's the way it will be. And it's so wonderfully written: "All things are possible to them that believe."
