<TITLE>02. Par 17-27</TITLE>L-17 So you pray for us now, and go out in the streets, in the hedges and highways. And "ask" them? No. "Compel." Compel them, compel them to come in. For this would be a wonderful time for Phoenix to get its great visitation that you... And I know that God is willing when we are ready, yes, sir, when we are ready. Let's... That's why we... these revivals are, is to try to meet conditions, and get prayed up, and get ready for this thing to happen.

L-18   Now, just before we approach the Word, let's speak to the Author, as we bow our heads in prayer. Now with our heads and hearts bowed to God, I'm sure, in a audience of this size, there is bound to be many requests. And if you have one, and like to be remembered to God, just raise up your hand, and in behind that, say, "Lord, remember me."

L-19   Our Heavenly Father, You know what is behind each of these hands. You know what flashed on their mind, and Thou art more than able to answer each request. And we pray that You will grant it, Lord. We ask that Your favor will smile upon us, tonight, in the way of the pouring out of the Holy Ghost upon us.

L-20 And remembering, Lord, that, tomorrow night in the--the First Assembly of God, that You'll pour out Your blessings again upon us. And then over at the Ramada, the finishing up of the week, O God, may there be literally hundreds saved. Grant it, Lord. May there be such a--such a pouring out of the Spirit till the newspapers cannot hold their peace any longer, but they'll have to publish to the public what is being done. Grant it, Lord.

L-21 Just make Yourself known to Your people, Lord. May their humble hearts reach out by faith and believe that we will receive these things that we're asking for.

L-22   Then we would pray, Lord, for the ones who would like to be here tonight and cannot get here. They're sick and afflicted, and--and in such conditions that they couldn't get here. We pray for them, Lord. May the Holy Spirit visit each and every one.

L-23 Bless these brethren who has come for such a long ways across the icy fields. And many still on the road, coming. Protect them, Lord. Bring them in safely.

L-24 Now, bless this Assembly, this fine pastor, his congregation, his trustees, deacons, and all that they stand for, Lord. We pray that You'll be with them and help them. Now we pray that You'll give us thy Word. We can only read It, Lord, and read the text. Thou has to furnish the context, and we're looking to Thee. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-25   In the--the book of First Corinthians, the 11th chapter. If someone... You know, you usually like to read, or mark down a place, say, "I..." Maybe someone would find something behind it that they could maybe improve on what's been said. Or, ministers, and sometimes the laity, takes it, and--and reads it over, and listens to what's been said. Many times I do that, mark down a text. So if you wish to read behind us tonight, turn to First Corinthians, the 11th chapter, and we'll begin reading at the 23rd verse.
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night... which he was betrayed took bread:
And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
After the same manner also he took the cup, and when he had supped, saying, This is the cup of the new testament in my blood: this do you, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

L-26 And now for a text, I'd like to take from there: Remembering The Lord.

L-27 Now, of course, any, we all know, in--in our church, we read this at the communion service each night. And it is a--a--a great text to read, or a great Scripture at that time, and it applies there. But I just wanted those words, "In remembrance of me."
