<TITLE>01. Par 1-5</TITLE>61-0425E, The Forgotten Beatitude, Stephen Mather High School, Chicago, IL, 71 min
L-1 Thank Thee from the depths of our heart, for the Lord Jesus, Who is our Life. And in Him we find no fault. But we find in ourselves, fault, when we look into His life and examine it, ours by His. We pray that You forgive us.
We ask tonight that You'll meet with us. You promised that wherever two or more would meet together, that You would be in the midst. And if we would ask anything, that it would be granted. And, Father, our--our motive, and our objective tonight, and our longing in our heart, is to see Christ glorified. So we pray that our efforts tonight will be, as they continue, to bring people to a living faith in a living God, that a God that is not dead, but is alive forevermore.
We pray Father, that You will stir our souls tonight, with Thy Presence, through Jesus Christ, we ask it in His Name. Amen. You may be seated.

L-2 Just a little late and just a little tired... I been going since Christmas without any let up. So I'm pretty tired. I was glad tonight to see Brother Joseph Boze, who I been looking to see him for some time, returning from the fields across the sea.
And sorry to say tonight that our precious brother and friend here, Brother Tommy Hicks, is leaving us tonight for, or tomorrow morning, for Canada, to have a meeting. I tried to get him to come out and preach for me tonight, 'cause I was so tired, or either have the prayer line. And he--he backed up on me, so... And he said, "The next time, the next time..." And--and he keeps telling me that.

L-3 And I--I know that Brother Tommy Hicks is... I have... The days that I've had with him, and the times, and the fellowship, I certainly have a great confidence in Tommy Hicks, of being a servant of the living God. A great masterpiece that I don't believe that there would be anybody could say anything against the leading of the Holy Spirit to Brother Hicks. For he was just a... One day when he... you heard of his message going to Argentina. And he didn't even have the money to go, but the Lord sent him, and, oh, you know about the meeting.
And a person that can yield to God like that... You know, God can only use what part of you you yield to Him. You see, as I said, I believe, one day, somewhere... I talk so much in different places, and mornings, and afternoon meetings, and whatmore...?...

L-4 But I said this, that God can use what you yield. Like Samson, Samson would not yield his heart to God. He give that to Delilah. But he gave his strength to God, and God could only use his strength. That's all.
But if a fellow could only yield his complete being to God, now that's it. If you can yield your--your body, God will use your body. If you can yield your mind, your heart, whatever it is, God will use what you give to Him to use with. He's seeking to find somebody that He can find yielded like that.
God be with you, Brother Tommy. Give you a great, great success. We'll pray for you in your services there. And I'll be in Canada too in a few days, but up in the other end, so... Give you a great success and safe journey. [Brother Tommy Hicks says, "God bless you."--Ed.] Thank you. And same to you, Brother Tommy.

L-5 We had a great time this morning, in fellowship around the table of God this morning at the--where we asked the blessing and had a ministerial breakfast, the first time I been privileged to meet the ministerial group of this city. And I certainly found some great men, great servants of Christ with great hearts, reaching out for God.
And I trust that we'll, sometime, can get back where you can have a full place, all together, and a big fellowship meeting and--and have a great meeting all together, here in Chicago.
Now, there was... Last evening, I think we was praying for the sick. And Sunday afternoon, I preached on the subject of Abraham and his Seed after him. Last night, I preached on the subject of the greatest news flash that ever struck the world in history.
