<TITLE>01. Par 1-7</TITLE>63-0803E, Influence, Lane Tech High School, Chicago, IL, 94 min
L-1      Thank you, very much. Let us remain standing just a moment now as we bow our heads for prayer. And while we have our heads bowed, and our hearts, wonder how many in here has a request, might make it known to God as you lift your hands? And then now just hold your request as we pray.

L-2   Heavenly Father, we are so happy tonight for this, another time that we can come to You, and have this assurance that what we ask we receive, if we will believe that we get what we ask for. And now, Lord, help our unbelief, that we might tonight be able to have these things that we ask for. My hands, with their hands, is up. And we pray, Father, to You Who understands the things that we have need of. Grant it, them, to us, Lord, tonight. We pray for encouragement, that when we're in this great hour of distress that we're in, the... and the world in the condition that it's in, we need Your most holy help, Lord. And we pray that You'll encourage us by Thy Word, that we might know how that we should act, just prior the Coming of the Lord Jesus. Grant it, Father. We ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
You may be seated.

L-3   So glad to be back again tonight, and to speak again about our most gracious Lord. It's good to be back here in Lane Tech again. This is almost like coming home; I've been here so many times. And now I see they've gotten many handkerchiefs here that's been laid up here to be prayed over. And now, last night, we had to, we closed our regular healing services, taken up our cards and things, because of having double services. You see, it kind of puts quite a strain on you, for having a--a double service. And now we sure will be praying for these handkerchiefs tonight, and trusting that the Lord will make each and every one of you, with faith that will receive what you've asked for in these requests.

L-4   We certainly going to miss Brother Mel Johnson tomorrow, and that fine singing. I really appreciate that fine voice that the Lord has given him.

L-5 And now, tomorrow, if you're visiting here, I'll say to the tabernacle people, there is... I got some friends here from down Jeffersonville. I think at the Philadelphia church, Brother Mead, our brother, I think they have service there. And I don't know whether you, you have service? There is service. You, what time? [Someone says, "Eleven."--Ed.] Eleven o'clock, there will be service there. And I suppose I'll be back about one-thirty, or two, some... Three, I--I'm to be on at three, three o'clock, and--and then seven again tomorrow evening. So we certainly want to cordially invite all of you to come to the services, if you have no service in your own church.

L-6   We certainly wouldn't want to pull you away from your own post of duty, because that's not our objective. It's to try to catch, mainly, those who are unsaved. Those who does not have the Holy Spirit, and you--you really believe that you need It, and then we're here to help you. Then the sick and afflicted, why, we're here to pray for them, out of all the churches. And you go back to your church, wherever you come from. If you received the Holy Spirit, or healed, go back with a testimony, tell others. Even though if your church doesn't believe in it, go anyhow. See? Where, it's easy to let your Light shine where there is plenty of--of Light, but we want Light to shine where there is no Light. That's when it gives its best influence.

L-7   And thank you, Brother Vayle. [Brother Vayle had adjusted the microphone, and now says, "Stay up like this, we got to watch it."--Ed.] Brother Vayle was thinking that they couldn't hear. Is that better? Well, fine, that's good.
