<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0209, Jehovah-Jireh, First Assembly Of God Of Long Beach, Long Beach, CA, no tape
L-1 Lord... it is indeed a privilege that we have tonight to come into Thy Presence in that all sufficient name of the Lord Jesus, Thy Son. And we are now approaching Thy throne of grace in His Name, knowing that You've promised if we'd ask anything in His Name we would receive it. We ask You to take possession of us tonight, Father--of our speaking, our hearing, our understanding. We pray that You'll give blessings to every one that has come inside these doors tonight. Shut us up with Thee, Father.

L-2 And we pray not only for ourselves here, but for mercy for those who are in need all around the world, in the mission fields. We think tonight, in a lovely big building like this, that we're thankful for, nice-dressed, warm, and well fed people; and to think in the mission fields that men of God, without a pair of shoes on, eating one plate of rice a week, preaching the Gospel. O God, I pray for those men. Help, O God, I pray that You'll help them, and gallant men. What will we do? As we read in the Bible where they wandered about in deserts, and was in sheepskins and goatskins, was made destitute and all of these who the world was not even worthy of; and what's our testimony going to be up beside of them at that day?

L-3 Father God, we pray that You'll shake us with Thy Word tonight and bring us to ourselves, that we might be lively stones fitted in the tabernacle of God. Bless the pastor here, the deacons, the trustees, all the members of the church, and the members of other churches that's gathered tonight, and the pastors. Father, I pray that we'll all go away singing melodies in our heart because of Thy Presence. We ask in the Name of Thy Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. Be seated.

L-4 I am apologizing for holding you a little late last evening, but being a healing service it sometimes takes just a little longer. And the Holy Spirit going to working among the people, and then I had to stop right... Looks like when you're having a service and don't continue it on... This is kind of a little different routine to what I've been going through, and so I just spoke a little too long to try to get the subject over to the people, so they could see for the healing. Did you enjoy the Presence of the Lord last night? He's--He's wonderful. He certainly is.
Now, tonight... I was thinking last evening on His Presence, and of His Presence to heal. And--and of course, we--you could... When the anointing struck, you could feel critics from everywhere, you know, but we expect that. You see? It has to be there. Wherever the sons of God are gathered together, Satan is sitting somewhere. See? Just remember. I know that from long experience.
And sometimes when you get to a place you battle--can break through that sound barrier as a... They tell me, when a plane is trying to get through the sound barrier, it just almost shakes the bolts out of it; but after through that sound barrier, it's all right. Then it can just run with ease. If we can just break through that static of--of superstition and things, then the Holy Spirit just begins to fall around, like anointing, and just blesses the people. But so many people of today are so babied, just petted, little petty.
