<TITLE>06. Par 41-45</TITLE>L-41 How can the Spirit-filled children of today prophesy good to a sinful, indifferent people that has turned the Lord outside? O God, we only see the bitterness of judgment ahead. And screaming to those who are not right, "Flee to the Lord, for He is the Rock in a weary land. He's the Shelter in the time of storm. And the Name of the Lord is a mighty Tower, and the righteous run into It and are safe." How can we think of those great cities built of refuge, and when the pursuer after the man and he got into the--the tower, he was safe, nothing could touch him. O God, let us run and make haste to the Lord, for He is our Refuge and our Strength, and a very present Help in the time of trouble. So by seeing by the eye of the eagle, as it was, trouble making up, the clouds a-rolling, the thunder and lightning of judgment bearing down upon the earth, we know that the storm is at hand.

L-42 Tonight, Lord, we pray for these here that raised their hands. I don't know what they wanted, Father; Thou does. I pray that You'll supply everything to their precious souls, that the meaning behind that hand was raised for. Grant it, Lord. Heal the sick. Comfort the weary. Give joy to the oppressed. Give peace to the weary, Food to the hungry, drink to the thirsty, joy to the saddened, power to the church. Lord, bring Jesus in our midst tonight, as we're fixing to take the communion representing His broken body. We pray, Lord, that He will visit us in an outstanding way.
Bless this little congregation, its beloved pastor, our Brother Neville and his family, and the deacons, the trustees, and every person that's present. Bless others, Lord, all around the world, that's waiting with joy for the coming of the Lord, lamps trimmed, and the chimneys all polished, and the Light of the Gospel shining in dark places.
Now, help me, Lord, with these few words. And bless It as we read It, and give us the context, for we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-45 Now, we might turn in the Book to the 6th chapter of St. John, and it would be good if each one of us read this whole chapter when we went home. I would like to read, beginning at the 47th verse, down to the 59th, inclusive, just for a way of building a text on the subject of "Communion," Jesus speaking now at the feast. It was a great time, these feasts were. They drank the water from the rock, to represent the Rock that was in the wilderness. And they eat, for the manna that had fallen many hundreds of years ago, in commemoration. It was just a passover feast, as we have tonight.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me has everlasting life.
I am that bread of life.
Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
As the living Father has sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
This is that bread which cometh down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: but he that eateth... this bread shall live for ever.
These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
