<TITLE>06. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 Forgive us, Lord, as we assemble now together. We come in the Name of Jesus, knowing that You promised to hear us whatever we'd ask in His Name, it'd be granted.
And now tonight as we open up the Bible to break into a little lesson... Now, we're not here to be seen or to be heard just as men. The people are not setting in this room just to say, "Well, I attended church tonight." We're expecting a visit from You, Lord. We're waiting for it. "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength." And we ask You to break to us the Bread of Life. May the Holy Spirit take the few words, plant them down deep in the heart. Strengthen those, Lord, who are feeble, and give joy to those who are strong, courage to those who are out of courage, health to those who are sick, salvation to those who are lost; and we will bow our heads and give praise to Thee. We ask it and commit ourself with the Word in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-17 I would like to be remembered by this church as we start next week now in a journey across two nations to preach the Gospel. Pray for us as we go along. And if you got any friends around (you know the itinerary), coming to the meetings, we'd be--or could come, we'd be happy to have them in the meeting.
We'll be praying for you all here, your pastor and different ones, to keep the home fires burning now until we can get back. If Jesus comes before we come back, we'll meet you in that morning. If we got any other motive but that, God forgive us.

L-18 Now, we want to turn for just a few words tonight out of the--the Bible, found over in the Book of Joshua 24; 14th verse and 15th verse I want to read from His Word. Listen close to His Word. Joshua 24:14 and 15:
Now, therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
And if it seems evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell: but as for me and my house, we'll serve the LORD.
Lord bless the reading of His Scriptures. I have some notes here that I would like to talk just a little bit from, and I want to take a text tonight to call it, "The Conflict--The conflict Between God And Satan. And now, just to teach it like a Sunday school lesson, for I've got several Scriptures laying here.

L-19 In Eden, God knew His enemy and all the attacks of His enemy. Now, God is the infinite God, and the infinite God is the perfection of the perfections. He knew all things before they ever was. And therefore, if this infinite God could've looked forward, and did, and seen the end from the beginning, and knew that He would have children on this earth, His Own blessed children, don't you believe that He would provide for them the best that He could provide?
Would not you tonight, to your children that was helpless little fellows who can't take care of themselves, don't you struggle, and work, and do everything that you can to provide the best that you can or able to provide for those children? Because you are a father, a parent. And if that being the--the--what I would say, the--the trueness, and the thought of a earthly parent... And parenthood originated in God, because He was the first Parent. Don't you think that God, seeing what Satan would be, what Satan would do, He gave to His children and provided for them the best thing that could be provided for them, to... Knowing what the enemy's attack would be, God fortified His children. See?
