<TITLE>04. Par 13-17</TITLE>L-13 So tomorrow afternoon, we expect to have the prayer line and the people that's got the prayer cards from... 'less some of them, perhaps, was left over from last night. And I don't know whether he give out any tonight or not. However, we will try to concentrate on tomorrow night--or tomorrow afternoon to being the healing line, to where we come and pray for all the people that wants to be prayed for.
So, if you did not get a prayer card yesterday or--or tonight, if he give out any tonight. That I do not know. I forgot to ask. And come tomorrow. (What time does the service start, brother?) Three o'clock. Then you'd better be here about two-thirty so we won't interrupt the meeting. And anybody that wants the prayer cards can have them and we'll pray for everyone.

L-14 Now--and now, trust that you visitors here in the city, that is from out of town, there's some fine churches here. The ministers representing this place here in this meeting, visit them tomorrow for Sunday school.
And then tomorrow afternoon, when Sunday school is over, then we will have our service here, so the--the precious brethren who let us have this beautiful sanctuary to worship our Lord in, they have service themselves tomorrow morning and then I--perhaps, tomorrow evening. So we will not have service here tomorrow evening.

L-15 Now, I would like to call your attention to just a Scripture here that comes into my mind to speak on for a few moments, if we should call it a text, to draw from it a context, of Saint Matthew's gospel, the 4th chapter, the 17th verse.
And from that time Jesus began to preach... saying, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
And if I would want to call it a text, to build a little context around, to see if God would come into His Word and bless our hearts, I would like to take the subject, "From That Time," the three words, "From That Time."

L-16 You know, that has a great meaning to it for many of us. And if we should sit down this afternoon and think back, we can start many things at a certain time it began: "From that time."
As a child, we might say, "Something happened." Perhaps if any of you boys that--that smoke... I don't believe you Canadian women would stoop that low to smoke cigarettes. But we--they do down in America and so forth. But I wouldn't think you would do a thing like that.

L-17 But--but the boys, when they smoked. You remember the--the first cigarette that you smoked, maybe it was made out of corn silk or we call it... (Some southerner laughed.) All right. That's what they would do down South, the boys start off on corn silk.
But when you smoked that first cigarette, and thought mother would smell it on your breath, and you took some coffee grains and--and eat--chewed it to keep mother from smelling it on your breath. And then she said, "Junior, have you been smoking?" What is it? The first thing now.
A red light begins to flash, "Tell her the truth. Don't go this way, little boy; that's wrong. Don't lie."
"No ma'am. I--I--I--I--I--I--I haven't smoked." And your little heart raced real... You went out feeling real bad. Then it was twice as easy to tell a lie the next time. From that time, you started lying. See?
