<TITLE>06. Par -</TITLE>L-8-6 Now, these people, Lord, believe that if we ask God, and take these handkerchiefs, and lay them upon their sick, that they shall recover. I pray that it'll be so, Lord. When these handkerchiefs are placed upon the sick... As it is said, one time Israel was starting in the line of duty, going to the promised land, and the Red Sea cut them off right in the path of duty; but God looked down through that Pillar of Fire with angry eyes; and that sea got scared, and it rolled back its waves--its waters; and Israel went through on dry land to the promised land.
Now, Lord, today look through the Blood of Jesus. And You see this act of faith that we're performing here this morning; and may Satan get scared and move away. And may each one of these pilgrims that's present, and each one that these handkerchiefs will lay upon, may they--the road be opened up and sickness moved away; and may they journey on towards the promised land, being led by the Holy Spirit--the Pillar of Fire. Grant it, Lord.
Now, bless the services, the words, the context, the reading; and may the Holy Spirit take the Word this morning and sweetly divide It to each one of us, Lord, as we're growing close to some great, tremendous something, that we know not what. Our hearts are moved strangely, Lord, and we pray now as we reverently approach Thee and Thy Word that You'll interpret to us the meaning thereof. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-9-3 Now, tonight, don't forget the--the "Time, What Time Is It?" And now, this morning I wish to turn you to (that have your Bibles or mark it, if you care to) in the Scriptures, where we want to speak from for a few moments, found in the Book of Acts. We might read two or three places: Acts 26:15 first, Acts the 25th chapter and the 15th verse, to begin. Then we want to read Acts 23:11; and you might add with this if you wish to, I probably won't have time to read it, Philippians 1:20. It's all about the same course, the same words.

L-9-5 Now, in the Book of Acts 26:15, we--reads like this:
And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I'm Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Arise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, whom now I send thee,
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Whereupon, O Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision:
But shewed first unto them at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coast of Judaea, and them... then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
In Acts 23 and the 11th verse again:
And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of a good cheer, Paul: for thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
May God add His holy blessings to the reading of this most gracious, Holy Word that we have before us.

L-10-2 Now, I was hearing a man speak--or taught not long ago, and he used the word "absolute." And I thought, "That's a very fine word; I hear it used so many times: Absolutely." That's...
I looked up in the dictionary--Webster's. According to Webster's, it's "perfect in itself; unlimited in its power; primarily, an ultimate." And an ultimate is the "amen"; that's all. A "absolute," it is--it's "the unlimited in power," the word "absolute." It's--it's perfect in itself. That's all of it; that settles it. And I thought, "That's a glorious thing; that's a wonderful word."
And now, a "word" is "a thought expressed." First, it must be a thought, and then it becomes a word; because you do not speak your words without thought.
