<TITLE>03. Par 15-20</TITLE>L-15 Oh, we just come through a whole series of meetings where thousands of people attending. And no matter if you had two or three million people, if there's no revival, that's just what we used to call down in Kentucky, a protractive meeting. You know, we all go out to a protractive meeting we'd call it. And we want a revival where the Spirit of the Lord is moving upon the people, and people are being saved, and great things are being done to accomplish something for the Kingdom of God.

L-16 And now, in the prayer services, usually, we... You can see why we couldn't hold a prayer line here. See, it's just so jammed up, you couldn't do it. See? But usually in the prayer lines is people who are--comes and they find the--the Lord to be real. And we find that the Lord Jesus hasn't changed one bit. From what He was, He is today, and always will be. And the Bible said in Hebrews 13:8, that He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. And in the congregations of the people that gathered to hear Him in them days, maybe they wouldn't get into a prayer line; but they would have faith to believe. And our Lord would turn, as their faith would touch Him, and would turn, and tell the people that there was certain things wrong with them that they had done, and for them to go and be healed, or go do something, make something right, or something.

L-17 We know about the woman at the well, and the woman with the blood issue, and, oh so many, of blind Bartimaeus, that their faith touched Him. And tonight He's still the High Priest of our confession and just as great as He ever was. Now, we got to let ourselves be His servants. He is the Vine, the--the resource of Life. We are the branches that receive that Life. And the branch bears the fruit, not the vine. And now, Christ works through His Church. And then, if we can yield ourself in such a way that the Holy Spirit can take complete control of us in our faith in Christ, He'll do the same thing, because it's Christ.

L-18 And if you're here a stranger and with us... Now, usually the people here...?... in the tabernacle... Our pastor here has prayer for the sick practically every night, and you get prayed for by our gracious and beloved Pastor, Brother Neville, a man that God hears and answers prayer for, Brother Orman Neville. And--and Brother Don Ruddell, and those other brethren who pray for the sick... And Brother Jackson, I guess he's around here somewhere from the other sister church down in Howard Park...
And this time when the--it's so crowded, if you'll just believe God...?... whatever you have need for... And you're a stranger and I don't know you, you just ask God and see if He isn't the same yesterday, today, and forever. See if He can't speak right...?... He knows you; He knows what's wrong with you; only thing you have to do is just believe Him. And then, He'll use you for one instrument and me for another. Jesus said, St. John 14:7, "He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also." Now, that is a yielded vessel.

L-20 Now, tomorrow we're going to teach how you become that vessel, that God, the Holy Spirit...?... work through you. And so... See, He was...?... God was in a Pillar of Fire, then He was--dwelt in His Son, Christ Jesus; and now in His Church. Once He was called the Father, then the Son, now the Holy Spirit. It's God projecting Himself to the world. The only way He could get into the Church was first die for the Church to sanctify It, that He might project Himself through His Church. Then He said in St. John 15, "I am the Vine; ye are the branches." (See?) And the branch just bears the fruit. The Lord bless you.
