<TITLE>01. Par 1-4</TITLE>61-0224, Be Not Afraid, Fairgrounds Auditorium, Tulare, CA, 115 min
L-1 ...?... Just remain standing a moment while we bow our heads before the Lord and offer prayer. While we have our heads bowed, I wonder how many in here would like to be remembered in prayer before God. Just raise your hand and your request...?... Let us pray.
Gracious and holy Father God, we humbly come into Thy Presence with thanksgiving on our hearts, because that You so loved us that You gave Your only begotten Son that whosoever believeth should not perish but have Eternal Life.
O God, those who have received this great blessing of promise, how thankful we are, Lord, and our hearts are burning for others who receive this joy unspeakable and full of glory, that's been given to the human race. For those that are sick and needy tonight, Father, laying here afflicted and smitten and stricken, and, God, it's a sick world.
But Thou did make a provision for us, Lord, for it is written "He was wounded for our transgressions, and with His stripes we were healed."

L-2 Now, Father, we're just His servants here trying to give the people Thy Word, and that they might see, and understand, and we know that all things are possible to them that believe. And make it so real to the congregation tonight that there will not be a feeble one in our midst when the service is over, not be one sinner, all be saved, inside and out.
May the cots be empty, the wheelchairs emptied up. Every person with heart trouble, cancer, dying, may there be a jubilee time over the cities and round about through the valley, start an old fashion revival that'll sweep up and down this coast, Lord, because of Your Presence tonight. Establish our hearts and our faith on Thee for we ask it in Jesus' Name and for His sake. Amen. May be seated.

L-3 I deem this one great privilege of being here in this auditorium at the fairgrounds tonight, and I was sorry that last night how we had to rush and hurry right through because of the alert at the armory, and we did not get to even get a foundation.
You know our great adversary, the devil, and if he can't catch us in one way, he will try it another. If he can get all get people in one accord, then he has--he can't bother that so then he will do something else, to upset the meeting in some other way. So that we cannot exactly be quiet, and listen, and watch, and believe, and then see the works of the Lord.
So grateful for this auditorium tonight. Sorry that there's hundreds of people standing, but we are just... I'm sure the association is doing all that they know how to do to make room for people to--to be seated.

L-4 And now, I believe if this keeps us like this, this deserves a try over. Don't you think so, folks, to try it again? Why, maybe can--we can get a tent and put it out here somewhere and seat twenty or thirty thousand people, and just leave it stay for three or four weeks and we really get acquainted and know one another, that so... And if the Lord being willing, that's what we need... what we'll... giving me the a welcome, and I appreciate that and if that be the will of the Lord, I--I always want to follow His leading, just where He goes, leads, then we know we're right.
I'll tell you why. If you run into trouble somewhere, and then if you're not sure of your leading, then Satan can say, "Well, see...?... here it is."
But if you know you're led, you can meet him right back again and say, "I come in the Name of the Lord. (See?) So just move back. That's all." See? And he will have to do it if--if the Lord sent you.
