<TITLE>04. Par 27-32</TITLE>L-27 Our heavenly Father, we are a grateful people, yet an unworthy people. But we are approaching Thy throne of grace this morning, because that we have been bid to come. Jesus said, "You ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll do it." Now, we know that that is Truth.
And here in the audience and out in the--the land where the tapes will go, there will probably be tens of thousands of borned again Christians hear this. And we know, Father, that when we're borned again, that our spirit is born from above. It is the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, upon us. And we realize that that Holy Spirit is all powerful and can do anything for us that we desire to be done. Then, heavenly Father, we would ask You to release our faith to that Spirit, that It might be able to secure for us this morning, and for the glory of the Kingdom of God, all these requests and desires, that we might be healed of our sicknesses and our afflictions, that we might serve our God with all that's in us.

L-29 Open up our ears of understanding today. And as I endeavor to bring forth this great question and clear it in the people's mind... And I have it written out here, Lord, upon paper and also drawn upon this blackboard, this chart, but totally insufficient to explain it. Now, we call on You, the great Master Who wrote the Word, Who inspired It, Who gave It to the prophet Daniel; and we pray that You'll send the inspiration this morning (in these last days as He said the book would be closed until this time) that You will open our understandings; and may there be a soft bedded faith in our heart that'll let the Word take hold, and light, and bring forth the trees of righteousness in our lives that It's intended to do. Our faith in God, may it secure that for us this morning. For we humbly wait now, and dedicating ourselves to Thee, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-30 Now, we are grateful for this morning for the grand opportunity again to open up these pages of God's eternal Word.
Now, the reason that I have taken upon myself to try to explain this, is because of... We're going through the Book of Revelations, and we just come through the Seven Church Ages. And then at the end of the 3rd chapter of the Book of Revelations, the church is taken from the earth up into glory. And I have--trying with all my heart to get this to the people that they are expecting something to happen that they see wrote in the Book of Revelations when it was not applied in the church age. And we're nearer the end than you think.

L-32 A few nights ago, Billy, my--or my daughter-in-law, rather, called me way in the night, and said there was a man named Andy Herman (which is a cousin of mine) was laying dying in the hospital. And I went out to see him. They'd doped him so much that he was asleep, and I couldn't talk to him. The next morning... I asked God to keep him alive till I could... "Ad," he's a good man, but he just wasn't a Christian. He's not an uncle, he's a cousin, married a cousin of mine.
And then, when Aunt Hattie told me standing there, she said, "Billy, all these eighty years of his life, he hasn't served God." But said, "A few weeks ago he was setting in the house..." He's eighty years old. 'Course he doesn't do much manual labor. But said...
He called her and said, "Hattie, you know what? Christ came before me here just a few minutes ago."
She looked at him and said, "Andy, are--are... What's the matter?" She said...
He said, "No. He stood right here before me, and He said something."
Said, "What did He say?"
"It's later than you think."
