<TITLE>05. Par 47-55</TITLE>L-47 Now, let's see, that it? All right. Oh, it's those little fellows... You don't know, I--we might've dedicated a many little missionary this morning and a preacher; we don't know. That all lays in the hands of the Almighty.
I want to announce that the services tonight here at the Tabernacle; there will be a communion service. And if you've never attended one of our communion services, we also observe feet-washing.

L-49 Now, there is some handkerchiefs laying here for me to pray over. One belongs to Brother Grimsley, our brother here at the church. I don't know whose these are. We send these out, hundreds and hundreds of them, across the world. And now, we'll... I want to pray for them after I start in praying for the sick.
I want to speak first, just for a while, on the little continuation of Easter message. And now, before we approach God's Word, let's approach Him by prayer.

L-51 Our heavenly Father, we are grateful in our hearts this morning for this glorious morning. And above all that, we are grateful for this what it represents, the resurrection and sealed proof of our religion, when Jesus Christ rose from the dead, some two thousand years ago, and presented Hisself back to His church, alive forevermore. After two thousand years, we are so happy to be still enjoying that fellowship with the disciples of a resurrected Christ.
We pray, Lord, that His Presence will be so felt in this building this morning, until every person here that's not saved will accept Him as their Saviour. And those who have not been filled with His Spirit, may this be the day when the Holy Spirit will do the finished work upon them. We ask that He in His great Atonement that healed the sick, may He come so close to the people, that faith will be prominent, Lord, and dominating over unbelief, that'll cause the sick and the afflicted to go away from here healed and well.

L-52 We would ask, Lord, that You'd bless the one now that's undertaking to explain Thy Word of the resurrection.
God, bless all the ministers everywhere, Your children, Your servants throughout the land, throughout the world.
And come, Lord Jesus, quickly, because we see clouds floating in the air, Lord, and we know that there is a great thing moving up. Gird up Your people. Oh, may they take the sword of the truth, buckle on the armor, pull down the helmet, shod themselves with the Gospel, and, above all things, take that shield of faith and move forward. Grant it, Lord, for war clouds are hanging low. Bless us today now, for we know that soon, as far as we know, we will see Jesus soon. And we pray that we'll be ready to go when that hour comes. May we prepare our hearts, and finish that, settle it once for all, in the morning service today. In Jesus Christ's Name, speak to us through Thy Word. Thy Word is Truth. Amen.

L-55 Now, to you that would like to read with me in the Scriptures, turn to Luke the 24th chapter. I want to read quite a lengthy portion of It here, the Lord willing, to get a background to what I want to base a few minute's talk on. And now, if you want to, if it's hot, I guess, or whatever, you just make yourself as comfortable as you can, and I'll be just as quick as possible.
