<TITLE>12. Par 134-147</TITLE>L-134 He said, "But, blind Bartimaeus, thou cannot give that lamb, for that lamb is your eyes."

L-135 He said, "If I obey my promise to Jehovah, He will provide a lamb for my eyes."

L-136 He had, this cold October morning, a Lamb had been provided for blind Bartimaeus' eyes. Said, "Bring him here." He laid His hands upon his eyes, and that provided Lamb of God opened his eyes.

L-137   Friends, you know, could be a lot more said to this story about Him going on to the crucifixion, but we'll pick that up some time later. Do you know, that same Lamb is provided tonight for your eyes, too? That same Lamb is here tonight. God provided. He has no other, never will have another. That's God's provided Lamb. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-138 I looked at my watch, I'm already about twenty minutes until ten, and I was going to try to stop at nine o'clock, get out at nine-thirty, at regular time.

L-139 But let's bow our heads just a moment. I want every eye closed now, and your heads bowed. Be real reverent for a moment.

L-140   "O Jesus, Thou Son of David," cried the beggar, "have mercy on me." And he would not keep still. He--he must... he--he must attract His attention. And don't you believe tonight that our same cry will bring Him on the scene again? It did then. Why wouldn't it do it again?

L-141 Now as you bow your heads and your heart, I want you to cry out to Him, "Jesus!" Don't call Him Son of David, because He is not Son of David to you. He is Lord. "Jesus, Lord, have mercy on me. Open my blinded eyes. I have heard this minister that's with us tonight, say that You promised to manifest Yourself to the seed of Abraham, in the last days, the way You did to Abraham and his seed of that day. You promised it, that You are the Word.

L-142 "In the last few nights, I--I have been noticing strange things. He said, in Saint John, I know, 14:12, 'He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he also.' And the woman touched His garment, and He knew what her trouble was, and because that--that she exercised that much faith. Why, to believe that He was, His faith in what she had done, He pronounced her well, said, 'Thy faith has saved thee.' And a blind man at the gate of Jericho, the same thing. A man in a tree, this morning, his sins was forgiven him.

L-143 "Open my blinded eyes, Lamb. That I might recognize that I'm in His Presence. That He is here. You said, 'Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I--I'm in their midst.' Open my blinded eyes, and be merciful to me, O Lamb of God."

L-144   And while you pray that, just if there is any doubt in your mind, there has been any doubt anywhere along... We're just now on the eve of a great healing service. If there has been any doubt about it, won't you ask Him to roll away all the scales from your eyes, that you might understand clearly?

L-145 These few nights that I've been trying, with all my heart, to get you to see something, that He is giving His last sign to the church, before He turns to the Jews. The Gentile Bride is to be called.

L-146   [Someone speaks in another tongue, and then gives an interpretation--Ed.] Amen. Now if I understand right, while you're praying, the Holy Spirit speaking and then giving the interpretation, God giving you an invitation.

L-147 How many in here would like for God's provided Lamb to open your eyes, so you can see Him here now, present? Would you raise your hand, say, "God, open my blinded eyes. Let me have my veil took off of my heart, Lord, that I might understand."
