<TITLE>22. Par 140-145</TITLE>L-140 Oh, brother, it's an examination time; it's a opportunity time. It's the opportunity to accept This. Tell me something to take Its place. Tell me something better than That. Produce anything in the world, be the king of the earth, rule the universe; be a Khrushchev or a Kennedy, or whatever you wish to be, you'll die just the same. Right. You don't know what time it'll come, any minute. But here when death does strike, you got Eternal Life and can't die, with a guarantee by the God of all creation, Who's Possessor of heavens and earth, "I'll raise him up again at the last day."
Help thou my unbelief, O God. Fill my soul; O God, cleanse me, fill me, charge me, send me out. Let me not die, let me live to tell the story. Let me go to every crack and corner of the earth and preach the Word and sow the seed (Yes, sir.), that there may be a harvest in the last day of the true unadulterated Word, with believers in Christ.

L-142 Is your sins under the Blood by faith tonight in Christ Jesus? We shall now take the communion. Not the communion; you commune as you eat with one another. Just commune with God. The communion is not the bread, not the wine; the communion is talking back and forth with God. This is a symbol that we take, that we believe in His death, broken body, His burial and resurrection; we believe in the Presence of the Holy Spirit. And we believe that He has give us Eternal Life; and we cannot die; we have passed from death unto Life. And someday when we separate from one another here, we'll rise again in the resurrection with each other, joined together with Christ Jesus as a Body. Amen. Upon these basis, and the confession of my sin, and my faith in the Son of God, I take myself and the church before these articles that God left for us to do, to show forth His death until He comes.

L-143 Jesus said, "This is My body which is broken for you. Eat, do this in remembrance of Me."
Our heavenly Father, after we have confessed our sins, hearing Your Word, after we have confessed that we are unworthy, and we're trusting only in the merits of the Son of God... We're unworthy creatures. Forgive us, Lord, of all that we have did. And now, by faith, we come to the table of the Lord. And now, as this bread is presented to represent the body of our Lord, I pray, Father, that You'll sanctify it to its intended purpose. And may every person that partakes of this have Eternal Life in their soul. And may that every person takes this have healing in their body, and live the appointed time that You've given them. And may they serve You all the days of their life, and be raised up in the last day in the resurrection to be gathered together with the tribes of the earth that are redeemed by the Blood of Christ. Grant it, Lord; in Jesus' Name we ask it. Amen.

L-145 The Bible said, "Also He took the cup, and when He'd supped, saying, 'This is the cup of the New Testament, as oft as you drink this you show forth the Lord's death till He come.'"
Heavenly Father, we hold to You the fruit of the vine tonight, this wine. And we pray, heavenly Father, that You'll sanctify this wine; it represents the Blood that was shed for us at Calvary. Through this Blood we have remission of our sins, by faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Forgive us of our--all of our unbelief, Lord, and give us faith and understanding, and make us Your servants, Lord, that we can serve You all our days. Be with us, Father, as we join together around this table, and bless us in this fine fellowship and communion with You. And may You speak to our hearts and point to us our work that we should do. Grant it, Lord. Sanctify this wine for its intended purpose. In Jesus Christ's Name we ask it. Amen.
