<TITLE>05. Par 28-30</TITLE>L-28 Trusting that God will meet with us tonight now just before the communion. And now, I think... Is that all we have announcements that we know of? Now, laying the path... What, brother? [Brother Neville speaks to Brother Branham--Ed.] A funeral. Oh, yes. The funeral of... One of our brother evangelists from this Tabernacle here is just... Well, he's one of us here. He goes out and pastors and preaches, a Brother J. T. Parnell. His precious little mother died the other night, a little, stooped, gray mother. And it'd be at Edmonton, Kentucky, the funeral service is tomorrow. I know many of you wanted to get flowers to her, but we couldn't. And the only way the church get a wreath there, they had to phone it in and then let the mailman take it out. And it'd have to go out tomorrow, whether it gets there or not, the flowers, so it makes it difficult. But we sure want to share the sympathy, brother, with our Brother Parnell losing his mother, which I've done the same just recently. And I'm sure that Sister Spencer and many others here who's sharing sympathy too, who's just recently walked through the shadows and sorrows.

L-29 Now, let us bow our heads just a moment in His Presence for prayer. Now, I want you to pray for me. And it's kind of difficult here tonight trying to see, and this light blurring. And--and my eye's all right, but they put some a Belladonna in it to dilate it. You know what it is. And it's been that way about six days now (See?), and he said it might last for another week or ten days. So you pray for me. And then the rebounds from this microphone against the walls, you pray for me. And could I see your hand, and God, as you've got a request just raise up your hand. God, answer prayer, as we solemnly assemble and bow now.

L-30 Our heavenly Father, Thou has chosen that we should gather together. It's the will of God that we should assemble ourselves together as we see the day approaching, and that regularly, Lord, to bring ourselves closer to You and closer to each other in a bond of fellowship, through the shed Blood of Jesus which makes it possible.
We're so grateful tonight, Lord. I--I--I never was so grateful to--to be here, Lord. And I--I'm just so thankful to You. I just cannot find the words to express how thankful to have eyesight and hearing, and to be among the living here on earth to continue the Gospel. It makes us so appreciative, Lord, when we see how close that only... When men of great understanding just scratch their head and say, "How could it ever be? Only the hand of God." Then I bow my head in humility, Lord, to see that the miracle was granted to me, that it be performed around where Your servant stood. I'm so grateful. And now, Father, I rededicate my life in service to You again, after walking down there. Never can be in life any closer to death than then, and then live. So I thankful.
