<TITLE>04. Par 18-22</TITLE>L-18 God, we say, "Send Jesus quickly. Come, Lord Jesus." And now we see nature, the very sign like the star that led the wise men to Bethlehem, on the move again. Jesus said there'd be perplexity of time, distress between the nations, signs in the heaven and earth, sea a-roaring, great storms and tidal waves and earthquakes in divers places. These things are just... They are buzzers that sets our hearts alarm, Lord, that we know to be ready. We don't know what minute or hour He might appear.
And as we come today, we pray that You'll bless the secret behind every hand that raised up. God, You know all about it. I pray that You'll wash them, Lord, and their sacrifice and desire, and give to them what they have need of. And as we're coming today, Lord, I pray that--if be those here who doesn't know You as a Saviour, that this will be that day, that greatest day of their life, when they'll say "yes" to the Lord Jesus. Grant it, Lord.
Bless those now, Father, as we're trying to make ready to cause people to have faith, by reading Your Word. God, send Your Word with power, out across the building here, and into the lands where the tapes will go, and the foreign nations, wherever it may be, and may many be saved and healed today for the glory of God. We ask it in the Name of His beloved holy Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-21 We pray that God add His tremendous blessings now as we read His Word. Remember, my words will fail, they are a man's word, but His Word cannot fail. "Heavens and earth will pass away but My Word shall not." What a hope that is today. I feel like singing with Eddie Perronet,
All hail the power of Jesus' Name,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other grounds is sinking sands,
All other grounds...

L-22 Now, to many of you that read with us and would like to mark the text, and sometimes that refer to the Scriptures that I have written out here on the notes, we are going to start, read this morning from St. Matthew 15:21.
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre of Sidon.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
And he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to the dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat... the crumbs which are fallen from their masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee, even as thou wilt.
And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
