<TITLE>05. Par 22-26</TITLE>L-22 Now, let us bow our heads just a moment before we pray. And I wonder this morning in the solemnness of this moment, that if upon our hearts that we have a burden that we'd like God to know about, and you'd like to be remembered in prayer, if you'd just raise your hand. The Lord bless you.
Almighty and omnipotent God, the infinite One Who was before there was a world, a atom, or a molecule; He set there in eternity, the great I AM. How we thank Thee today that Thou has made a way for us to come to Thee and--and be able to have an interview with Thee. For it was said by Your--Your beloved Son, the Lord Jesus, our Saviour, "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll do it."
Then we're asking in Jesus' Name for just a little talk with You, Lord, because we love You, and we want to express ourself to You. We love Thee because that Thou did love us, and we would not have been here if it had not been for Thee. Then when we came in the way that we got here, then Jesus came to redeem us back to this loving Father.

L-23 And we would ask this morning that in the light of the sanctifying power of His Blood that You'd cleanse us from all of our evil, anything that we have done, thought, or said that was contrary to Thee. And Father God, we know that that would be many things. For a great holy God till even Angels look dirty to Him, where would we stand?
But today we have the privilege of coming beyond the Angels, because Jesus never died for Angels. And Angels are servants; and by the Blood of Jesus we are sons and daughters. And we come into Thy Presence to say, "Thank You, Father, for what You have done for us, what You mean to us."

L-24 And we know that behind each hand this morning there was a great desire. I pray, Father, that You will grant the desire of their hearts. We thank Thee for this place here, this church, this part of the body of the Lord Jesus; for all--for its pastor, for its deacons, trustees, and all the members that come here, for all the people that's gathered under its roof this morning, this building. I pray that You'll bless them exceedingly abundantly. May it be the house of prayer. As Jesus said, "It's written My Father's house shall be called the house of prayer."
May from here go ministers to all parts of the world. May the dewdrops of mercy be so real here until the honeybees that's seeking food come in here from all parts of the city to find rest for their souls, food for their souls. Grant it, Lord.
Now, we would ask to bless these few words that we're to read, Lord. I pray that You'll sanctify them to plant seeds into the hearts of the people, that it may grow into great trees. For the glory of God we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-25 In Romans the 3rd chapter, verse 3, I read these words:
For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without an effect?
I'm going to speak this morning on--for just a few moments on "Unbelief Does Not Hinder God." Some might think it does, but it does not. God has a program and His program... As John said, "He's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham." That's right. His program will go on just the same.

L-26 Unbelief is as old as Eden. That's where it was borned at, was in Eden. And unbelief is to doubt what God has said. Now, did you notice where unbelief was born, there was much of the Word of God considered, for Satan said to Eve... When she said, "God has said," he did not deny that, that God had said, "so-and-so"; but he said, "Surely God wouldn't do a thing like that." See, that was the birth of unbelief: to vary one iota from God's perfect Word. We must stay right with It, regardless of where, or what, or how, our lives and so forth must measure up with, THUS SAITH THE LORD.
