<TITLE>05. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 Our heavenly Father, we are approaching Thy throne of grace. We would not want to come by the throne of justice, for we could not stand there. We could not come by the throne of judgment. We could not stand there. Justly, we should be condemned because we are of the world, Adam's fallen race. But we're coming by the throne of mercy.
And Jesus, when He was on earth, said, "If you'll ask the Father anything in My Name, it'll be granted." And I'm asking now first, Lord, pardoning of all of our transgressions against Thy commandments. Forgive us, Lord, every one. We pray for our minister brothers, for their congregations, for the sins of the city, and of the nation, of the people everywhere.
God, I pray for my own sins. And we know that sin originally is unbelief. He that believeth not is condemned already. And it's unbelief that causes us to commit the immoral crimes that we do. And if we only believe, we would not do those things. So I pray, Father, that You'll forgive our unbelief, and will come to each of us tonight, and bestow upon us the faith that'll answer the request that we have below our hands. Grant it, Lord, that's in our heart.

L-17 We have come here by feeling led of Your Spirit. Satan warred against to try to keep us from coming, but that's why I believe the much more that there's something in store for us. And we're pressing the battle tonight, and You have opened the way.
Now, Father, may we all catch the vision and remember what we have asked, and there press forward with our petition. And I'm laying mine upon the altar of sacrifice tonight, my prayer, my faith, all upon Your golden altar where our sacrifice, Christ, lays with the prayer and request of all these people. And together we ask for a great outpouring of Your Spirit. Lord, do the exceeding abundantly above all that we could do or think. May it be poured out upon this meeting, Lord.
And when it's over, may there be an old fashion revival break out throughout the country here, and the churches all be on fire for God, souls being saved, and people healed, and glory brought to the Kingdom of God. Over this prayer, with these others laying upon Your golden altar, we ask over them the Name of Jesus Christ, that You'll answer us according to Thy great mercy. Amen.

L-18 Don't forget each service. And I believe that my son told me when I got in the back out here, that there was a ministerial breakfast in the morning. Is that right? In the morning... Very fine, I--I always love to meet my brethren and--and get to talk with them a little while, and get acquainted, and renew acquaintance. And now, everyone remember now, let's do our part.
And now, I don't know what time you people usually close your services here. And sometimes... I'm a missionary. And usually we just have to hit it when we can and stay as long as we possibly can. And--and I've been keeping the people a little late, not like I do when I'm at home.
I was at my home recently, and (I hope I don't scare you.) I preached a little short service: six hours. But that was just a short one. But... And but I hope I don't do that here, but usually about forty-five minutes, or something like that, and then we... If we're going to have prayer line... And so now you pray for me now as we closing now for the Word.

L-19 Now, this is just a little formal message that we usually base the first night. And then from there on then we just see what the Lord will grant to us.
In Saint John 12:20 we read these words:
And there were certain Greeks among them, that came up to... the feast:
The some came to Philip which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying Sirs, we would see Jesus.
Saint John 12:20... In Hebrews the 13th chapter--and the 13th chapter, and the--the 8th verse:
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to day, and for ever.
