L-1 Let us just remain standing a moment while we bow our heads for a word of prayer. As we bow our heads, I wonder tonight how many would like to be remembered in prayer, have something on your heart you want God to do for you, just raise up your hands. The Lord grant these requests now as we bow our heads and our hearts before Him.

L-2 Our heavenly Father, we are approaching Thy throne of grace again, in the Name of Jesus Christ, the great Son of God. We thank Thee for the opportunity to come with the assurance that You will hear and answer what we ask for. We pray, Father, that You'll forgive our sins, that is, our unbelief. And, Father, we pray that You will give us faith, abundance of faith tonight. And You know what was behind every hand there, down in the heart. They needed something, Lord. They raised their hand reverently, expecting something from You. And I pray, heavenly Father, whatever it was, that it will be granted to the people.
We thank You for the visitation last evening. We pray that You'll return to us tonight with the abundance of power and grace, and will grant to us the desires of our heart, for truly our desire is to do Your will and to see Your will be done. And we know what Your will is concerning the sick, that You was striped across Your back for our healing, "By His stripes we were healed." And, Father, we pray that--that Your great will will be done tonight to give us faith to believe that in abundance, that every sick person might be healed, and every person that's lost might remember that He was wounded for our transgressions. Grant it, Lord.
May they know that as long as there is a--a bloody Sacrifice there for them, their sins cannot be seen by God. But if they should die without publicly confessing that and accepting it, and being borned again, there would be no way at all for them to ever enter into the Kingdom. And may this be the night that every person from under the Blood may quickly slip beneath the Blood tonight, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. And we'll give Thee the praise. Amen.

L-5 Very great privilege to be here tonight and to speak again. And last evening we had such a wonderful time, visitation of the Lord. But I kept you too late. I can never make it on time, somehow.
Kinda almost got a little too much sun today. I was... My little son Joseph has been after me to go swimming. So the place where we're staying has a little pool, kinda fenced in back there, and he said, "Come, watch me, dad. I can swim."
I said, "All right."
I went down there this morning took my Bible, and some... to write some notes. And while I was studying, he--here he come with his little bathing trunks on; he said, "Watch me, daddy, I can dive." Well, if I ever seen a frog jump in the water. And he got up, and the water spurting out of his nose and mouth; he said, "How did I do?"
I said, "You're doing fine."

L-8 And I just got to thinking of one time I said the same thing to my dad. A little old pond, before we got to go to the river, there was a pond, and us kiddies had to almost keep the green scum back off of it, and we'd... Water wasn't over about six inches deep. And I kept telling my dad, "I can swim."
So one Sunday afternoon he walked out there. And they had a little soapbox setting there. And I got back in the bushes and stripped my clothes, what there was to strip: just pull one nail, you know. And how many ever seen one like that? I see. Just a pair of overalls on, with no suspenders; just have a--a fodder twine across, for a gallus, and then just a nail. Just pull the nail and, that's all you have to do, jump right in.
And so I got up on this box and held my nose, you know, and flashed off into that, and mud flew about that high. My dad setting under there, watching me. I said, "How am I doing?"
Said, "Get out of there and go get you a bath." I was thinking how long that's been.
