<TITLE>16. Par 46-49</TITLE>L-46 I'm so sorry. I ought to call the prayer line right now. But let's talk. Are you in a hurry? Let's bow our heads just a moment. Forgive me, you folks, for taking that much time. I just get... I told you I come up here to rest. I'm kind of nervous, and I come up to rest, and I... Excuse me.
Most holy God, right into Thy holy Presence and before the throne of mercy we come presenting ourselves now. We are a unworthy people, Lord. Thou art God, full of mercy, full of goodness. Be Thou near us to forgive us. When my heart thinks of Africa, of India, O God, how it bleeds. How could I spend tens of thousands of dollars for foolishness, and poor little kiddies laying there dying, with swelled up bellies, with nothing to eat. O God, help us to understand. How could we ride around in a fleet of Cadillacs, new ones every year, and all these things, and our brothers over yonder are preaching the Gospel with no shoes on? They'll stand in the day of judgment thus. What can we do? Us here arguing whether we should go to this church or that one. O America, America, how oft would He have hovered you?

L-47 Thank You, Father, for the true Spirit of God, for this time of fellowship around the testimonies, and with the brethren, and this grand little place called Grande Prairie. How we thank You for these fine Scandinavian, German, Indians, and so forth, that's separated themselves from the things of the world, and has consecrated their lives to Thee to be Thy loving children; not caring what the world shall say, but believing that You're the Christ, the Son of God, trying to live examples before the people that all men might see Christ in them. We thank You for it Father, as we open the Word. No man can open it, Lord. Only any man that's physical enough to pull back the pages could do that, but we read in the Bible that there was One setting upon the throne...

L-48 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... life to our hungry hearts. We thirst for Thee, O God. As the heart panteth for the water brook, our soul thirsts after Thee, O God. Tear us down, our selfishness. Take the--the world out of us, Lord, and make us sweet, humble, meek, God-fearing Christians. Our spirit's all broke up. So it is written, "He that goeth forth sowing in tears, will doubtless return again, rejoicing, bringing with him precious sheaves." That's our desire, Lord.
Bless Grande Prairie, Lord. Bless its ministers, bless its people. God, I pray that You'll make them Angels of mercy, Angels of light. Grant it, Lord, for we're living in the closing scenes now. Soon You shall come and we'll see Him. All troubles will be over then. Until then, Father, keep us anointed with Thy love and Thy Spirit, giving us the bread of Life that we might serve others. It's this purpose we ask in our hearts, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-49 Over in the book of Saint Matthew's Gospel, the 12th chapter and the 42nd verse, just for a little context. I'm ashamed to keep you here this long, but I--I know I only got one more night. And I--I just--just wished we had a long time. I've never gotten to preach to you yet. I--I usually just get on a little testimonies, because, then I don't get off on... Preaching, you're anointed this way; discernment is this way. See? And you shake yourself, one from the other. So just to talk to you a little while, I want to read a little portion of Scriptures here because my words will fail. God's words will not fail.
 And the queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
I'd like to use that for a context: "A Greater Than Solomon is Here." If you, when you go home, might read the the previous chapter and this chapter.
