<TITLE>03. Par 19-28</TITLE>L-19 And I trust, tonight, if there's any would come in here tonight, under this care of--of the shelter of this place, that something will be said in the song, testimony, or the reading of the Word, or something, that'll cause you to go out the door a different person than you come in. Help us all to do it.

L-20   And now before we approach the Word, let's approach the Author by the way of prayer. Let us bow our heads just a moment. With our heads and hearts bowed before God, would there be a request among the people tonight, that you have something special that you'd like to ask the Lord to help you in? Just raise your hand. And way down in your heart, say, "Lord, You know what it is." Thank you. God bless you.

L-21   Our Heavenly Father, we are coming now in that all-sufficient Name, the Lord Jesus, knowing this that He promised, "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, it'll be granted." We come, first, to confess that we have erred. We have did wrong. And there's none of us good, not one. And we're coming to confess our sins, in the Name of the Lord Jesus. We're asking for pardon.

L-22 And Thou did see the hands of the people, that was raised up tonight, and You know what was beneath that hand, what they had need of. And I'm offering my prayer with theirs, laying it upon Thy altar, and asking for mercy, that You, Lord, will give mercy, and will answer each and every request.

L-23 We want to thank You for this church, for its pastors, and for all the laity, and all the deacons and the trustees, and all that comes. Bless them, Lord. And we know that our meetings and coming together would altogether be in vain, if You didn't meet with us.

L-24   So we pray, Heavenly Father, that we have the assurance now that You are with us. Continue, O Lord, to be with us through the night. Help us. If there, by chance, would be those who have come in from the street, or the hedges and byways of the world, that's been, in their life, indifferent toward You, may this be the night that they'll say that all-sufficient "yes" to God, and surrender, give themselves over to Jesus Christ.

L-25 If there be sick among us, Lord, Thou art the great Physician Who has never lost a case.

L-26 We think of the day that we're living in, when sickness and gross darkness is covering the earth. But we think again that when You were leading Your people, Moses brought them out of--of Egypt, taking them to the promised land, and all down along the journey for forty years. And when they entered the promised land there wasn't a feeble one among them.

L-27   How many physicians tonight would like to look in upon the prescription that Moses had, that kept all those people healthy for forty long years. And, yet, You have not hid it. You've made it known to us all, and it's written here on the pages, so simple. "I'm the Lord that heals all of thy diseases." May we realize that tonight, Lord, the sick and needy, and know that there's not a disease but what You are the remedy, the double-cure.

L-28 Bless the reading of Thy Word. And may our hearts now come down to the seriousness of the meeting. From our hearts being filled with joy over the singing of the Gospel, and testimonies, and so forth, we're just so grateful. Now may we hear Thy Word. And speak to us, Father, and bless these few notes that's been prepared for the evening, for we ask it in His Name and for His glory. Amen.
