<TITLE>26. Par 86-88</TITLE>L-86 Our heavenly Father, these broken-up words, and a little talk here, just to kind of get all the fear and starchiness away from Your church, just to kind of break up the fallow ground to lay a foundation here; or not to lay a foundation, but to build upon the foundation that's already laid, Christ Jesus, what these people has been taught to believe down through the years, that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Heavenly Father, I pray that as we join our hearts and our prayers together... The Bible said in the fourth chapter of, I believe, of the Acts of the Apostles, when the people had come together and made a report, then they prayed with one accord, and the building was shook where they were assembled together. And they spoke the Word of God with boldness.
O, God, we go along here today with this wonderful name pinned upon us, as Pentecostal believers, witnessing that we've been borned again by the Holy Ghost, and the Holy Spirit leads us. Then, Lord, to see the church get weakened, and falling away, and crumbling down, and, O God what a--what a condition. Revive us, O Lord. Send Your Holy Spirit upon us, and bring forth the refreshing, the dewdrops of mercy from above.
O, God, revive our--our--our community here; revive the whole city. Revive the churches around, revive the Methodists, revive the Baptists, revive all of them, Lord. And O, God, may it begin right here in this congregation. May there be such a reviving and awakening amongst us, Lord, till the Holy Ghost taking our hearts, and tearing us apart, and squeezing from us the--the precious ointment that He would desire for our church to be anointed with. Grant it, Lord.

L-87 Bless us now. Forgive us of our sins, our short comings. God, may there not be a sick person attend this meeting but what will be healed. Grant it, Lord. May there not be one person that's sinful, or unbeliever, ever come to this meeting but what will be saved. Grant it, Lord.
May the Angels of God go to every church throughout this community, every place, down into the barrooms, and--and bring conviction upon sinners. And may the Christians go forth testifying, saying, "Come, see. Come, see. We've never seen anything like it." Grant it, Lord. May it be a great roar through this country, and God getting glory of it. Grant it, Father.
Bless Your precious shepherds; I ask again, back here, standing up here on the platform, some I've never seen in my life. But Lord God, they're standing here to make a witness that they too are believers. They're here to--to put in their part, to put their shoulder to the wheel. Our hearts are burning and yearning, Lord, to see the Spirit of God move among us. Grant it. Do this for us, Father. We commit ourselves to You in Christ's Name, for His glory we ask it.

L-88 Now, all that's in here that's sick and needy, raise up your hands right now; just raise up your hands. All right. I want you to lay your hands over on one another;just lay your hands over on each other now. Some... Now, don't pray for yourself. You pray for the person that you got your hand, they're praying for you. I like that, "All things are possible. [The pianist is playing, "Only Believe"--Ed.]
Now, it's in our hearts, let's just think now. I can see a bunch of disciples around a boy with epilepsy. I can hear Andrew say, "Let's step back, boys. I--I'll show you how I done it down at Capernaum. When I cast out epilepsy down there, here's the way I done it." But it didn't work.
Simon Peter said--said, "Well, now, here's the way I done it down at Joppa. I'll show you how I done it down there." And it didn't work.
