L-1      Usually announce it so you can be sure to remember where it's at. We want to read from Matthew, the 15th chapter of Matthew, beginning with the 21st verse.
Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.
And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.
But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs.
And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat... the crumbs which fall from the masters' table. Then said...
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou will. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

L-2   Let us bow our heads now for prayer. I wonder, tonight, with our heads and hearts bowed, if there would be someone here would like to be remembered in prayer. Would you just let it be known as you lift your hands to God, say, "I have a need, Lord, I pray You'll help me." The Lord bless you.

L-3   Our Heavenly Father, as we are now approaching Thy Majesty, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, for He told us, "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, it'll be granted." We come with all the faith that we have, believing that You will answer us according to our needs, tonight, as they are many. Thou sees the hands of Thy children throughout the building here, as they raise their hands. And You alone knows what was beneath the heart. I pray that You'll answer them, Father, tonight. And may every desire that they have, be granted to them this day.

L-4 We pray for those who are unsaved and know Thee not as their Saviour. We pray that they'll accept You, tonight, and find that all-sufficiency that they must have in the hour of death.

L-5   Many here maybe who has already has accepted You, and has not yet been filled with Thy Spirit. We pray, that this night, that Thou will pour into them the abundance of the Holy Spirit, that they might be servants to You in these closing hours of the world's history.

L-6 Heal all the sick and the afflicted, Lord. Thou knowest their need.

L-7 And we pray that Your Presence will come among us, tonight, in such a way that we'll recognize You as our risen Lord. And when the service is closed, and we go to our homes, may we be able to speak among each other, saying like those who came from Emmaus that day, saying, "Did not our hearts burn within us, as He talked to us along the way?" For they were made to know You by a certain sign that You did before Your crucifixion. And after You had risen, You were the same Jesus, doing the same things. May we still witness the same, tonight. In Jesus' Name, we pray. Amen.
May be seated.

L-8   I've taken my full time last evening, on the subject of We Would See Jesus, and after having to introduce the caliber of the of the meetings and how to accept it, as usually Brother Borders will to the strangers each night henceforth. I went my full time, to nine-thirty, and I don't like to keep people waiting. Just a few words, to get acquainted, and then the Lord's Words means... One time, Him speaking, mean more than anyone could say in a lifetime, just one Word from Him.

L-9 I wish to take as it was, tonight, a text from this Scripture reading that God has give us here as a context. May He give it to us. I want to take one word: Perseverant.

L-10 The word, according to Webster, on some notes I got written out here, it means "to be persistent," to be perseverant, and, that is, into making a goal; "to be persistent," and that's perseverant.
