<TITLE>03. Par 20-27</TITLE>L-20   Now we ask You to bless the Words that we read, and what we say tonight. May It fall into fertile ground that will bring forth a service, that there will not be one sinner in this building, that'll leave here, that will not be saved. May every sick person be healed. May there not be one feeble person among us at the end of the service. I know that's a great mountain that stands before us. But You said in Your Gospel, according to Saint Mark 11:22, "If you say to this mountain, 'Be moved,' and don't doubt in your heart, but believe that what you've said will come to pass, you shall have what you've said." Now we believe that.

L-21 You said, "When you stand praying, believe, forgive." And we pray that You would forgive us our trespasses, as we have forgive those that trespassed against us, that there be nothing to hinder our prayers from being answered.

L-22 And, Lord, may, if it so happens that we never meet again like this in another meeting, maybe a year from now or whenever it will be, we know there is coming one great meeting we're all going to be there, and that's the Wedding Supper. O God, may there not be one of us missing on that time. Until then, keep us healthy and happy, to serve You. In Jesus Christ's Name we ask it. Amen.

L-23   Now, to pray for the sick, I--I don't get off to preaching. As I've said, it's--it's a different anointing; same Spirit, just a different channel you are traveling through.

L-24 And now I want to read a familiar passage of Scripture, and a few Scriptures here I'd like to refer to, just before we call the prayer line. And I know it's hot, and I don't want to keep you long.

L-25 And I know the closing of the meeting, a great week, and how you're all filled up to the capacity now, and going home to have a great time. Don't want to go home just to have a great time to enjoy the blessings of God, but go home to take what you have learned and pass it on to somebody else. And may the children of this meeting, that was born again, in this meeting, next year bring great-great-great-grandchildren with them; meaning that you have won somebody else, and they won somebody else, and they won somebody else over to the Lord.

L-26   Now let's turn tonight to Saint Mark, the 12th chapter. And I want to start reading from the 38th verse of Saint... of Saint Mark 12, reading down with the 42nd verse, inclusive. And, usually, as it's a custom many times, we stand when we read the Word of God, but being that you're so packed in tonight, we'll omit that, and just sit reverently and listen to the Word. If you have a Bible, follow me as I read.
Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
But he answered and said unto them, An evil and an adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall be no sign... given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

L-27   I might use this for a text: A Greater Than Solomon Is Here. If we read the back parts of the Scripture, preceding this, we find that it kind of links in with what we were saying last evening.
