<TITLE>04. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 And now, we want to turn to His Word. I just love His Word. And it's a little... We always, on the first night, get a little late start, but we hope to get away on time. And we'll try to pray for the--some sick people. Billy told me he gave out some cards. And--and now, if we don't get them all in tonight, just hold them. We'll get them. And don't be in a hurry. And now, let's before we read His Word, let's just speak to Him just a moment by prayer, as we bow our heads; and I trust that our hearts will be bowed also.
Now, as you have your heads bowed, your eyes closed, and your heart centered towards God, I just wonder if there's any requests would like to be remembered. Just raise up your hand. And by that you're saying, "God, You know what I have need of now tonight." God bless. That's good.

L-16 Our heavenly Father, we are now approaching Thy throne of grace. We would not desire to stand by the throne of justice, because we would not feel that we could stand there. But when we come by the way of grace, You've bid us to come. And we're so happy that we have the privilege of approaching Thee, the great mighty Jehovah, in the way of the grace of Jesus Christ.
Now, we come in His Name, knowing that He said that "Wherever two or more are assembled in My Name, then I'll be in the midst of them." And again, He said, "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, it will be granted." And we have the assurance now, Lord, that by these precious promises of the Word of God, that You are here to listen.
And, Father, first we would say, "Forgive us of our trespasses, as we have forgive others that trespass against us." And we pray, Lord, that You'll lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. And may the Kingdom of God come down upon us; and bless our gathering together. Bless the reading of the Word, and do all things, Lord, to the glory of thy Kingdom, for we ask it in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-17 Now, you that like to kinda take down a little text, I'd like for you to read with me tonight in St. Matthew 14, beginning with the 22nd verse, for just a few moments if you'll bear with me.
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
And when he would sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with the waves: for the waves were contrary.
And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It's a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
But Jesus straightway... But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of a good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
I want to use this tonight as a form of a testimony meeting.
