<TITLE>02. Par 12-19</TITLE>L-12 And now, as the hour is growing late, we would not want to enter this most crucial time, for my part of speaking to the people, nervously, or thinking we are have to hurry out. But we pray that You'll quieten our minds, a few moments, and listen further for Your exhortations to us, and Your warnings. And I'll wait on You, Father, for these things.

L-13 And now we pray that You'll bless this businessmen's chapter, these Christian, full Gospel men, that their testimony may still spread far and wide, to the glory and honor of our Lord.

L-14   And now we are happy to know that there is coming a time when the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, that we shall rule and reign on the earth with Him, a thousand years. We're looking forward to that time. And hearing the men speak of their temptations, and how that Satan took our Lord up to the top of the mountain, and in a moment of time showed Him all the governments and kingdoms of the world, and offered them to Him, but He flatly refused them, because He knew that someday He was falling heir to them. And we don't look at things that go on so much temporarily now, but we look to the end of the road, where the rewards are given.

L-15 Father, we pray, this morning, that You'll make our hearts solemn before Thee, as we listen. Pray that You'll speak to us, Lord, through mortal lips. May we hear You through mortal ears. And then may we, in return, obey everything that You command us. We wait on Thee now as we read Thy most holy Word, to where our--our foundation of our faith lays in the written Word. We ask it in Jesus Christ's Name. Amen.
You may be seated.

L-16   And now, in the Word, I would like for you to turn for a few readings of the Scripture, especially in two places, for a few notes that I have written down here, that I'd like to, like a Sunday school lesson, to comment on for a few moments, if you will. Deuteronomy 4, first, Deuteronomy 4:10 and 11. I would like to read these verses.
Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, and when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will take them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.
And he came near and stood under the mount; and the mountain burned with fire in the midst of heaven, and the dark clouds, and the thickness of darkness.

L-17 And then in Hebrews 12:25. We read these Words from Hebrews 12:25.
See that you refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from... that speaketh from the... him that speaketh from heaven:

L-18   Now, those are kind of odd Words to be reading at a--at a businessmen's breakfast, but may the Lord bless Them to our hearts. And now I would like to take this little subject. That I was... This morning, was on my heart to speak upon a subject, "Blood on the Message." And I just bypassed that, for some reason, not knowing why. But I want to make a text here, this morning, of the odd one, but title it: The World Is Falling Apart. That's an odd text, but I--I feel led to speak on it: The World Is Falling Apart.

L-19 We are now in this, being what we call "good Friday," or God's good Friday. I don't know why we call it that, "good Friday." But we're just in the beginning, on another series of--of holidays, holy days that the world sets aside, the Christian world, to--to celebrate in commemoration, great Scriptural events that happened in the times past, great things that taken place. And we use them and make a time of celebration for those things which has happened. If God... If--if God were here at this Christian world at this time, and what's called the Christian world, I wonder what His attitude would be towards our manner of celebration that we have in--in memorial of these great days and times that--that has been.
