<TITLE>06. Par 19-22</TITLE>L-19 Lovely Father, we come to Thee, the Almighty, omnipresent, omnipotent, infinite God, in the all-sufficient Name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We come because He told us, "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, it'll be granted." Then we do not have anything else that we would desire to approach by, because the name of our church, or our organization, our own name, or our city, or our race, or nationality would not please God at all. But it does please Him when we come in the Name of His Son.
So we are approaching Thee, Father. And we do not wish You to direct us towards the judgment seat, but towards the mercy seat, for we are in need of mercy. We are needy people, Lord. Thou knowest our needs. You know what was beneath that hand that just raised up, all over this building. You know what they had need of. I seen these sick, some of them so crippled they couldn't hardly raise their hand, but was trying to get it up. God, I'm sure You saw that, for, "Not even a sparrow could fall to the street," said Jesus, "without the Father knowing it."

L-20 Now, God, I'm asking You for mercy. Grant that each one of those hands that went up, before these services close this coming weekend, that every request will be granted. May the people be patient. Remember, "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like an eagle." We pray for a revival this week, Lord, burning of the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
Father, from the pastor, and my heart, all that's with me, and every member of the church all the way down to the--the skid row, may it be, Lord, this week that we'll see the exceedingly abundantly. May the Holy Spirit just grace us night after night. May we see these people, every one on cots and stretchers, every one of them, night after night, taking their position, setting back there with the rest of the people, don't have to use them no more.

L-21 Grant, Lord, that every wayward sinner, boy, girl, man, or woman will be shining with the Spirit of God in their heart before the meeting ends. May the little church, Lord, grow, and not only this one, but every church in the city. May there come an old fashion revival, that not only be a World's Fair in the sister city, but may it be a world shaking revival. That's what we long for, Lord, that will shake the hearts of the people, Lord, that will bring them back to a knowledge of the Lord Jesus, and His mercy and grace to His people.
Now, Father, we would not ask this unless we had faith to believe that it could be done. And we believe that it's--it's altogether possible, Lord, and probable, that God will do such a thing for us. And we're looking forward to it.
And now, Lord, help and bless this church and its pastor, its board of trustees, deacons, and whatever that's associated or affiliated with it, all of its members, and all the visiting members, and all the pastors. God, don't leave a one of them out from the smallest to the largest.

L-22 And may we have a revival in our hearts, Lord, burning with the Fire of God. We don't know how much longer we have left. It certainly looks very doubtful that we'll be here long. And, oh, what a glorious thought it is to know that these old vile bodies will be changed one of these days in a moment of a twinkling of an eye, and we'll be caught up together to meet the Lord in the air. This weary day of sickness, and this old earthly pest house of sin, we shall mount up with the wings of an eagle and fly away one of these days. And even death itself shall not prevent this great event, for the trumpet of God shall sound, the dead in Christ shall rise first. Then with them we shall be caught up to meet Him. We're looking for the coming of that great day, Lord. Help us now.
