<TITLE>02. Par 9-18</TITLE>L-9 We ask You, Lord, is this the hour that there could break out a great revival here in this part of the country? If it is, Lord, we are here to serve You in any way that we can, and we just commit ourselves to You, for that service. And may something take place, Lord, that'll stir the hearts of the people. And there may be that the meeting is just set for a few that's scattered out around here yet, that maybe it may be the last member of the Body of Christ will be added right here in Louisiana, and then the--the doors will be closed. We don't know just what, Lord, we're just moving cautiously, watching every move.

L-10   And we pray, Heavenly Father that You will heal all the sick and afflicted. As I look, laying here, a poor little, afflicted child, and people laying around, sick and needy. God, may they look away from their afflictions, tonight, and through this coming week, and may there not be a feeble person among us at the closing of this meeting.

L-11 Bless the ministers, Lord, and their fine cooperation, and the things that they're doing, to get together. May the people realize that this is the--the heart of their--their pastor, to try to bring in everything, and every gift, and everything they can, that's honored by God, that it might help their congregation to see and to believe, and grow. Grant it, Father.

L-12 Forgive us of our trespasses. Grant every request beneath those hands, tonight. Lord, mine up, Thou knowest my heart; it's--it's prayer, for the people. May Jesus be known among us, Father. Give us a great outpouring of His blessings.

L-13 And when we leave here, tonight, may we be able to say like those who came from Emmaus, that day after the resurrection, as we're entering this holy seasons. "Did not our hearts burn within us," they said, "as He talked to us along the way?" For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.
You may be seated.

L-14   Not to--to preach or to take much of the time, but just to set in order just a little few thoughts here now before we call the prayer line. In about twenty-five minutes, I suppose, I'll call the--the prayer line, to pray for the sick. And now, each night, Mr. Borders and them will be trying to explain to you how, and how to hold a healing, and so forth.

L-15 And, remember, we're not here trying just to represent Divine healing. We're here to representing Jesus Christ, and in Him is healing. And every attribute of God is in Him. And we... He has purchased our salvation, our healing, and all we have. And healing is a minor, and you can never major on a minor. We know that. So we are... But we're trying... Jesus used about eighty-six percent of His ministry was upon Divine healing, that He might attract the attention of the people, then explain what His purpose was there. And, that's the same thing, we're trying to continue His ministry in the best way that we know how, believing that He still remains the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-16   Now, we know that, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." Therefore, God and His Word is the self-same thing. It's God in print form. You're no more than your word. God is no more than His Word.

L-17 So this great feast that we're approaching here now in this season, this Lenten, as they call it, and approaching Good Friday, and--and then Easter Sunday, a week to Easter Sunday, I believe. So we're approaching this. I thought I'd read this Scripture, that these hungry-hearted Greeks come up to worship at the feast of the Passover. And they little knowed that that was the Passover Lamb, Christ was to be.

L-18 But their hearts were hungry. They wanted to see Him. They had heard so much about Him, and know that great things they had heard that He had did. And so no doubt, coming to that feast, they must have read much in the Scripture of what He was, and His--His nature, and what He would do when He come. So they wanted to see.
