<TITLE>03. Par 20-26</TITLE>L-20   And then we are going to go, try to get through early, so we can let the people out and not hold you. I made a little rude remark this week, that I--I keep you long through the nighttime, if I know just to miss a day's work, that won't hurt you. But I said, "Saturday night now, can't keep you long at all, because you can't miss Sunday school. You must be there at your post of duty." So, now, I won't keep you long tonight, 'cause I certainly want you there tomorrow night. That's what we been driving for, this great time.

L-21 And now pray for all those brethren who are going to speak. Pray that God will anoint His messengers. And that last night, with Brother Oral; he's been chosen for that final capping off of all of it. I think of that last time, like it was the last day of the feast when Jesus stood and cried at the temple. Oh, may we hear it again. May God cry out to us, and call us to His side, gather in the Church, His redeemed, His Bride that He has so graciously purchased with His Own Blood. And we're praying for that end.

L-22   Now we're going to look to the Lord just now in prayer before we approach His Word. Because, you know, the Word is of no private interpretation, so I just like for the Author to reveal It; and keep out of It, you know, just so that we can--we can believe that He's doing it. So let us bow our heads just now. And--and when we bow our heads, let's bow our hearts also, just bow our hearts to God.

L-23 Now with our heads and hearts bowed, is there a request in your heart tonight, my fellow citizen of the Kingdom, my pilgrim brother? You who are sojourning here in Phoenix and other places, that we've gathered in this lovely little church tonight to worship Him, is there a request that you would like God to know about? Hold it in your mind, and just raise up your hand, and say, "Lord, let it be me now tonight. I--I have a--a desperate need." May He... I know He will see it. He will hear it. He will answer it.

L-24   Our Heavenly Father, we are approaching Thee by faith now. We are joining ourselves together, putting our prayers as one person. By faith we're leaving here, at 11th and Garfield, and we're climbing up by faith, beyond the moon and stars, up the Milky White Way, on in and beyond scenes of this earth, on to the Presence of God. And there on the Altar where the Sacrifice is laying, and the Cherubims and Seraphims are flying over the Altar of God, crying, "Holy!" Oh, what a place to stand! But with this written Word, by the Son of God, that, "If we ask the Father anything in His Name, He will grant it to us." And there He sets with His Bloody garments. The price has been paid, that we, the unworthy, can approach Him, as sons and daughters, after we've accepted Christ as our Saviour.

L-25   And we pray, Heavenly Father, tonight, first, to pardon our iniquity, and all that we've done and said, that was not just right in Your sight. And, God, we know that's innumerable things that we have did. Have mercy upon us, God, for we're not just speaking these things to be heard, but we are--are speaking these things in--in love, and in reverence, and in faith that God will hear us and answer our prayers for others and ourselves. You know what was behind each hand, the objective and the motive.

L-26 Lord, spread forth Your great holy wings, as it was, tonight. And may Your august Presence be so felt among us, tonight, that we'll fear. God, we want to know just our standing place now. We're checking up, taking inventory of our lives. It might be just before the Rapture, the call away.
