<TITLE>06. Par 23-25</TITLE>L-23 Our heavenly Father, now we commit ourselves to You. Open to us the Word. Grant it, Father. We're setting in this hot place tonight, people fanning. They don't come here to see how one another's dressed. They come here because they love You. Many of them has saved their money, put their pennies together and come to the meeting. How we thank You, our Father. God, bless them. Oh, if I've found grace in Your sight, Lord, answer my prayer for every soul that's at this meeting. Grant it, God. And those who've attended, and their loved ones, grant their request, Father. I pray, as Your servant, with all my heart, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-24 I wish to read tonight and just a little... I thought, coming up, I was going to speak about another subject. And I thought, "Well..." Setting out there in the car I--waiting, and I thought.
Here it is already now about twelve minutes to nine. Really, we should be out in thirty-five minutes (See?), according to schedule. And I... You're so nice to talk to, I just can't find no place to quit. But I just--just keep on talking. So--so you pray.
I'm going to speak on something else, just for a few minutes. Then I think I'm going to call a prayer line, and pray for every person that's here that wants to be prayed for, pray for every one. So that--that you're attending, and maybe believing, and wanting to be prayed for, I'll pray for you. See? And I want you to believe. Now, we're just going to try to build just a little faith and make a little bit of--more of a punch to the meeting, and you listen real close.

L-25 And now, I'm going to read from Saint Matthew's Gospel, the--the 12th chapter, 26th and 27th verse, a little text, familiar, right along the message. I don't want to get my Indian brethren and sisters on four or five different things. In this little time, it's better that I stay right on that same line. They just catch that well enough, they'll know it. And they--they believe it, now, if I--if I can know what they're thinking about. I can say that because I know they believe it. I know they do. Now...
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is 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.
Now, my subject tonight is, "A Testimony Upon the Sea," like we were doing today, Brother Robert, if you're here. Testimony upon the sea, and my--my text tonight is "It Is I, Be Not Afraid." So now, may the Lord add His blessings to the Word.
