<TITLE>05. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 So it goes to show that our God is still God. He's just... And aren't we happy tonight to know that we have a heavenly Father who can move cataracts, move diseases? And He's just God; that's all. So we're going to speak to Him in a few moments before we read His Word, being that we've been talking the way we have, and then speak tonight.
And now, tomorrow afternoon is the service, so all of our brethren and all--everybody can go back to their church. Now, in the morning... There's several churches here represented, this--my sponsorship of this meeting. Now, these men believes in this type of ministry, or they wouldn't be sponsoring me and setting here by me. And every visitors here that doesn't have their own church here, somewhere that they're attending, why don't you find one of these brethren here (I guess they told where they were from), and attend their services in the morning? I'm sure they'll do you good.

L-20 And it's my sincere desire that--that somewhere between here and tomorrow afternoon, there'll break out an old fashion revival among these churches here that'll just be glorious and for this last day. We're trying to sow the seed, that when the Holy Spirit does fall, it'll fall on the right thing, it'll bring forth the right kind of a crop, as we're looking for the--these last days.

L-21 Then tomorrow afternoon is our closing services here. And then we begin up at (I think it's called Santa Maria, is that?) Santa Maria. And then we go from there to Grass Valley, and then... And then, so on and on, and on up.
So then, if the Lord willing, I'm to be in... Brother Williams, are you here? He was... He was... Brother Williams, yeah, Brother Williams is trying... Said he had all Phoenix praying for me, that instead of going over in Tanganyika, and Kenya, and Uganda, and down through South Africa this coming January, February, March, and April, he was going to pray that we'd be over in Phoenix.
And Brother Carl, I--I'll just go the way He leads me. You know that. You know that. The Lord bless you. Thank you very much for that sincerity.
And I hope now, tomorrow afternoon that everyone comes out, and we have a great rally tomorrow evening. I will try to preach a little, if my voice is able, and we're expecting a great time tomorrow.

L-22 Now, I would like to read some--some of the precious Word here. And I want you to turn, if you're keeping tab (as we'd call it in the south) of the text that we're reading. I would like... I've got some notes wrote down here, some Scriptures. I'd like to teach just a little bit tonight on a subject found in St. Matthew, the 15th chapter, and let's begin with the 21st verse, St. Matthew, 15th chapter and beginning with verse 21.
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coast of Tyre of Sidon.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coast, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, and saying, Lord, help me.
But he answered and said, It's not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat... the crumbs which fall from the masters' table.
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto her even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
If it would be called a text, I would like to take one word for a text, and that is the word "Perseverance." Perseverance, Webster says is "to be persistent, persistent in making a goal, to do something." To be perseverant is to persist. And before you can be persistent you have to have an idea what you're being persistent about.
