<TITLE>06. Par 32-38</TITLE>L-32 And now, I pray for all these people who raised up their hands tonight, each one of them had a request. And many of them has thanksgiving, nearly all, Lord, in their hearts, for what You've done for them also.
Now, we've come tonight to assemble on a very special occasion; that is, to take what we call the communion, or, the Lord's Supper. "Commune" is "to talk with, or converse with." And that's what we are doing now, Lord, conversing with our Lord, communing, talking, waiting upon Him for His answer.
And now, Father, we pray that You'll commune back to us tonight through the written Word. Give us something in our hearts, stabilize our--our--our journey, Lord, and give us new courage. And bless our pastor, Lord, our precious brother, Your servant, and his wife and family, and the deacons and trustees, and every person that comes to the church. O God, draw us closer to Thee. May there be, as the poet said, "Blessed be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love. Our fellowship of kindred mind is like to that above." Grant it, Lord. Bless all other worshippers across the world. And now, Father, break the Bread of Life to us as we wait upon Thee. In the Name of Jesus Christ, Thy beloved Child, we ask it. Amen.

L-35 Now, many people like to mark down the words where a minister might read. And I have... This afternoon after I was out with Brother and Sister Wood... We'd been down to see our Brother Gobel Roberson, and so we had, in his exhibition room. So we come back, and I thought they... Sister Wood was telling me what a wonderful message that our pastor had this morning. And I just happened to think of the poor little guy, may have a sore throat, and I have too, but I--I thought we could share this together, maybe, if he asked me to speak. And I dropped down a few notes here that I would like to talk on.

L-36 First, let us turn to II Corinthians 6:7 to 10: I Corinthians the 6th chapter, 7th verse and the 10th inclusive, and then Genesis 14:18 to 19, and draw from there, the Lord willing, a con--or a context from the text. And now, I will read from I--or from II Corinthians, the first, II Corinthians 6:7 to 10.
By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
By honour... dishonour, and by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
As unknown,... yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; and having nothing, and yet possessing all things.
Genesis 14:18 and 19.
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high...
And he blessed Abraham, and said, Blessed be Abraham of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth:

L-37 And if I would call it a text, I would like to speak on the subject, the "Possessing All Things." As in Corinthians here, we--it said that we are--are poor, yet possess all things: "Possessing All Things." Now, I like that.
Now, in Genesis we read of Abraham meeting this great man called Melchisedec, Who was the Possessor of both heaven and earth. Then He was the Possessor of all things, Possessor of heaven and of earth; that's of all things.

L-38 Now, we know the story of Abraham and what had happened. He had been called to a--a place of duty. He had been called out of his land, the land of the Chaldeans, and the city of Ur, where he had been there with his father and his people. And that's down in the Shinar valley, probably a rich fertile land. And Abraham, as we understand, wasn't any special person in the sight of the world. On otherwise, he wasn't a king, or a monarch, or a potentate. He was just a man. And he had married his half sister, which was Sarah, and probably married her when she was a young woman. And God had called him at the age of seventy-five, to a life of service, and it also included his helpmate.
