<TITLE>08. Par 26-29</TITLE>L-26 This little fellow I talked to at the door just awhile ago, God bless that man. We just thank You for everything, Lord. You're so good to us. We pray now that You'll continue to bless us as we travel on towards the west coast.
I pray that You'll bless Brother King now. And we've talked of his troubles, and we pray that You'll be with him and all the other brothers. And, God, the only one thing I can do is... A human being couldn't do it, but may Your Holy Spirit constantly bind these hearts together of these people until they are one in Christ Jesus. Grant it, Father.
Give us a great service tonight. Many of them has come over slick roads, and--and out in this rain and storm to get here tonight to hear the closing service. I pray that You'll bless them. May there not be a feeble person in our midst tonight. I ask that, Father, for Your glory. May the power of the Holy Ghost come in tonight and give the exceeding abundance above all that we could even do or think. Further we wait on You. In Jesus' Name, speak to us. Amen.

L-27 All the little parcels in here, you can pick them up as soon as we are--I pray over them. I want to wait till the anointing of the Holy Spirit comes upon me to pray for the sick.
Now, over in the book of Jeremiah, the 22nd verse:
Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? Why then is the health of the daughter of my people not recovered?
I want to take a subject in closing tonight of asking the question, as God did, "Why?" Now, I hope we won't be long, twenty, thirty minutes, then we can pray for the sick. "Why?"
If God makes a preparation or a place of escape and then the people fail to walk in it, God's got a right to ask why. Don't you believe that? He's got a right to ask why.

L-28 If... You're not condemned because you are a sinner; you're condemned because you don't accept Jesus as your Saviour. Now, God would be unjust to condemn you and not make a preparation for you to come out of it, because you were borned in sin, shaped in iniquity, come to the world speaking lies. No matter who your parents was, or what they were, you're still just a sinner, as any other child, when you're born in this world.
We're all born in sin. We could not save ourself. We could no more save ourself, than we could take our boot straps and lift ourself over the moon. We could not do it. We're totally helpless. And therefore, God would not condemn you on those basis because you are a sinner. He'd condemn you because you refuse to take the way of escape. So therefore, it isn't God; it's yourself. You condemn yourself. And when you condemn yourself, there's nobody to pity but yourself. That's all. We're... You--you must pity yourself, because you haven't accepted God's provided way of escape.
Now, when God makes His ways, just wonder wh--how He feels when He makes a way for us, for our healing, for our salvation, for our comfort, for our peace, and all these things, and we just walk away and leave them. It must make Him feel terribly bad.

L-29 So one time in the Bible over in the Book of II Kings, there was a--a king who was a king of--of Judah, and he--his name was Ahaziah. He was the son of Ahab and Jezebel. He succeeded his father Ahab to the throne. After Ahab, that borderline believer, renegade to the Gospel, lukewarm church member, went over and married a pagan girl to strengthen his kingdom, brought in idolatry into Israel then... Oh, what a horrible thing he done. And then his little pagan wife took the life of precious Naboth in order that the king could take his inheritance. And that prophet prophesied what would happen to him, and what would happen to her: the dogs would eat her in the street, and would lick the blood of Ahab off of his chariot. And that's just exactly what happened.
