<TITLE>02. Par 11-19</TITLE>L-11   Now, I was speaking to you today, at noon, on a Gospel Message. I was glad to see Brother Tracy Boutliere here, and that brother over here. And, I, and you know how I feel to stand up here? I--I kind of squeeze away from that preaching tonight, on account of all these fine ministers being here. So I'm just going to talk a little about the Lord Jesus, on His, the great revelation of Him today, and about His power to heal the sick.

L-12 And my son came over, a while ago, and he give out some prayer cards, and we want to pray for the sick tonight. And you've got man here that can preach the Gospel; they have, all this week. And I'm here to try to do my part, to show my appreciations of your loyalty to Jesus Christ, by praying for the sick.

L-13   And now before we open the Book, let's speak to the Author of the Book.

L-14 Sometime ago, there was a man said to me. I was talking about a certain subject in the Bible, and it was a very deep subject which there's a lot of dispute about, and on the Logos, and so forth. And he--he looked over at me. And I was with Brother Jack Moore, and we was coming down Cross Lake, in Shreveport, Louisiana. And this man looked over to me, and he said, "You just don't know your Bible."

L-15 I said, "But I know the Author real well. And I'm sure, if I love Him and know Him real well, He'll reveal His Word to me."

L-16 So let's speak to the Author now, as we bow our heads. Now while we get quiet. And, remember, in our hearts now, is there a request tonight among us, that you would want God to remember, that you are praying for this certain thing, maybe a loved one to come to Christ, tonight, maybe somebody to be healed, or some other request? Hold it in your mind, and raise up your hands to God, say, "Lord, remember my request." It's all, everywhere. What a needy world this is!

L-17   Lord Jesus, we come approaching Thee in that all-sufficient Name, knowing this, that we have been promised that our prayers will be heard. Said, "What you ask in My Name, it shall be given." And we bring all these requests, tonight, up before the great pearly white Throne where the Bloody Sacrifice lays, Who forgives all of our sins, and heals all of our sickness. And we are most grateful to Thee, tonight, for this grand privilege that we have, and with the Word of God, which cannot fail. Though Heavens and earth pass away, the Word can never fail. And the Word is God. And He has promised that He would hear and would answer our requests. Now we are sure that we get what we ask for. And my hand is up, too, Lord. Answer, tonight, our requests.

L-18   We want to thank You for what You have been to us, in this convention, back down through life. And we also thank You for what You are to us, to be in the future. And in the hour of our death, if You tarry, we know You'll be the--the old ship of Zion, You'll be the glossy Wings, You'll be the Morning Star that lights up the valley of the shadow of death, You'll be the One that will pack us over the river, into that great promised Land. We are satisfied of that, Lord.

L-19 Tonight, sitting in our midst are man, gray and stooped with age, and many years ago when I was a sinner boy, was standing on the street corners and fighting the good fight of faith, for this very Message that we're trying to contend for tonight. Father, God, we're grateful these man are still a living, as testimonies of this great faith that was once delivered to the saints. May we ever contend for it and be loyal to our post of duty, until Jesus comes.
