<TITLE>07. Par 20-23</TITLE>L-20 And we are here tonight to pray with you, and talk to you about the Word, these next three meetings, tomorrow night and Sunday afternoon; and I trust that you'll give me your undivided attention, and I'll stay nowhere but right in the pages of the Book. And I don't preach doctrine out in the meetings. I'm out here to keep the message simple, to pray for all of God's children.
And the religious questions that you might have in your mind, I'd advise you ask your pastor and not me, because every man's leading his flock. And if he's--the pastor has led you safely this far, trust him the rest of the way. He... If he brought you up to be filled with God's Spirit, and living the life that I trust that you're living, why, trust him the rest of the way. He will be able to answer your questions.

L-21 Now, believing the Word, we have just a little formal message that we introduce each campaign with, and that is the subject of, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever." If... Now, we know that that is the Bible: Hebrew 13:8.
And now, I have another piece of Scripture that I want to read, and then (That's found in Saint John 12:20), and just talk a few minutes on the Scripture, and pray for the sick, try to let you out early, 'cause I know city people has city jobs, and they must punch the clock. And we're not here in one of the big campaigns, but I hope someday that we can return so we can have a week or two that we'll... But it's just a little introductory meeting.
You will, of course, not be able to grasp, I'm sure, the full meaning of the meeting that we're talking about, and how the Holy Spirit... But I ask you, as my friend and as a Christian believer here tonight that you'll search what we say by the Scripture. And if it's not Scriptural, then you owe it to me to tell me about it, show me where it's wrong. And if it is Scriptural, then you're duty bound to obey the Scripture.

L-22 Now, before we read, let us speak to the Author as we bow our heads. With our heads bowed, I wonder here in my own heart, tonight, if there is requests that would--that you have on your heart, that you want God to fulfill during this meeting. Would you just raise up your hands, with your heads bowed? And in your heart say, "Lord Jesus, I want You to answer my request during this meeting. I have someone sick. I'm sick myself. I have a lost friend, brother, sister, child, husband. Remember them, Father God, during this meeting. May something happen that they'll be saved and healed." God bless you.

L-23 Our heavenly Father, we approach Thy throne of grace at this time, and this hour, believing that You will answer each request. We thank Thee for this loyal--and as we put it, royal Canadian gathering. And Lord, we want to be loyal to our God. So we have assembled out in this hot afternoon to worship Him in the spirit of His truth. And we pray, heavenly Father, that You'll bless our being.
Bless those brethren that's got the campaign going on. We pray that You'll be in those meetings, Lord, and give to them the exceeding abundantly above all that they could do or think.
Now, we ask tonight for these requests. These people got something on their heart. Most all the congregation tonight had their hands up. There's something beneath that hand, Lord, in the heart. Won't You grant it to them? Now, I offer my prayer. As they pray silently, I pray to You that... My prayer is that You will answer their requests. I lay my prayer with theirs upon Your golden altar with that Sacrifice, the Lord Jesus. Hear us, God.
He told us, "You ask the Father anything in My name, I'll do it." Now, we pray that You'll grant this request, and give us a great, lovely time together, as we fellowship around the Word. For we ask it in Jesus' Name, Thy Son. Amen.
