<TITLE>05. Par -</TITLE>L-5-1 Then the little fellows, if you'll just hold your 'amens,' the children. Just wait just a little while, because I--I want this to be surely gotten, 'cause many will not have the tape. So I want you to be sure to get it, and let's approach it for, I'd say thirty-five minutes, or forty, just as reverently as we know how to do it, because this is a tremendous time for me. It's where something has happened that I don't know what to do. And I'm standing in the most terrific strait I ever stood in, in the days of my ministry, as I know of. So let's bow our heads now before we approach the Word.

L-5-2 Heavenly Father, then some time ago, I preached upon the subject of presuming. And "presuming" is "to adventure without authority." And maybe tonight, Lord, I have took upon myself to interpret something to the people without having a vision of it. Therefore, Lord, check me where the points is to be checked. Close my mouth, Lord. You did close the lion's mouth in the den with Daniel, that it did not hurt him. Lord, I pray that if I should try to interpret something wrong, You still have power to close a mouth. But if it is the truth, then, Lord, bless it, and send it forth. And You know the conditions and what's right at hand. And that's why I come, even to this very last moment, at the pulpit to try to interpret these things. And I pray Thee to help us.

L-5-3 Bless this little church. This group that comes here under the roof, that sojourns with us here in the city, coming out of many states... Oh, when the evening shadows are falling, we're so glad to have a place to come. When the world is so confused and do not know where they're standing, we're glad that the Name of the Lord is a mighty Tower, and the righteous run into It, and are safe. Just not so many words, but a revelation...
So we pray Father, as the evening lights would come at the setting of the sun, and we believe that's the time that we're living: in the setting of the sun. And we most solemnly thank Thee, Lord, from all of our hearts, for the things that You have done for us. And, Lord, down through the age I thank You for letting the visions that You have given, every one of them just perfectly, and every interpretation of dream has been exactly that way. So we know it could only be You, Lord, for we are mortals, all borned in sin, and there's not a sound thing in us. But to think that You could take such a thing as a human being and wash them by the Water of the Word and by the Blood of Christ and stretch forth that hand in such a way till a person doesn't use your own thinking, but letting the mind of Christ Who knows all things, let It come in and speak, and use a tabernacle. Thank you, Father.

L-5-4 Now, we bless Thy holy Name. And we bless this little group tonight in Thy Name. We bless the pastor, Brother Neville, God's gallant servant. We bless the deacons and trustees, and every member of the Body of Christ both here and around the world in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
Oh, as we see this dark, dingy, horrible shadow falling across the face of Christianity, we know the time is drawing near. There'll be a rapture and the church will be taken up. Lord, let us march on, looking to the Author and Finisher, Christ. Grant it, Lord. And as we move forward now in the Name of the Lord Jesus to undertake these things that's been put upon our hearts, we pray that You will be with us and help us, and get glory out of it, Lord, for we commit ourselves to You with Your Word, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
