<TITLE>01. Par 1-2</TITLE>61-0216, The Mark Of The Beast And The Seal Of God #1, First Assembly Of God Of Long Beach, Long Beach, CA, 117 min
L-1 Let us remain standing, just a moment now, for prayer. Our heavenly Father, we are grateful, indeed, for the privilege of assembling together in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Now, before us lays Thy Word, and oh, we handle that quietly, Lord, and reverently because It is the Word of God. And it's to be that--be Your will that I am to try to explain a great subject tonight. And I pray, Father, that the Holy Spirit will give me words to say that would be beneficiary to the church and--and for the good of the Kingdom of God. Grant it, Lord. You are our Father, and we love You with all of our heart.
And we pray now that You'll bless us. And as I think what I would do if I had in my hands tonight in a--a glass, just one drop of the Blood of the Lord Jesus, how I would hold it to my heart. And just--oh, I'd be almost afraid to breathe. But then, Father, in Your sight, You've give into my hands a greater, the purchase of Your Blood, Your church, that You gave Your Blood for, to save it. Now, help us, Lord, that we might feed the flock of God to which the Holy Ghost has made her overseers. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen. May be seated.

L-2 We are trusting the Lord Jesus to send His blessings upon us. I was just in the room a few minutes ago, and something just shook me. How many knows Raymond Richey? He's setting back there in the room; I just prayed for him. And he's overworked hisself and caused hisself to have a break and a stroke, terrible condition, lovely brother. The time... Brother Raymond was standing right there on the platform that night when the Angel of the Lord came down before thousands of people when I said if--when Doctor Best was debating about with it Doctor Bosworth about my ministry, and I said, "I don't claim to be a healer." I said... He said, "Nothing but a bunch of holy-rollers would believe that."
I said, "How many Baptist here that's members of these Baptists churches, can say and can prove that they've been healed by the Lord, raise up your hand." And about, oh, I guess, three hundred or more stood up. And I said, "What about them?" See? And so then he... I said, "People believe in Divine healing." I said, "I'm not--I'm not a Divine healer; I never claim that." I said, "My literature is published in many different languages." I said, "I never did claim to be a healer." I said, "I--I only claim to be God's servant." And I said, "Now, if the gift of God, which He gave to me on the discernment," I said, "now, if that's in question, God will speak for Himself." And about that time here He come down, coming down like that. And that's when they took the picture of It.
