<TITLE>02. Par 9-14</TITLE>L-9   So, let us bow our heads then, before we even read It. So solemn! Any man that's got physical strength could turn back the page, but only God can reveal It.

L-10 And with our heads bowed now towards the dust from whence we were taken, and some day shall return, I wonder... And in this solemn moment, as we're approaching Christmas, if there is some here that really feel unworthy and would like to be remembered in this prayer, would you (without raising your head) just raise you hands to God and say, "Remember me, Lord, this Christmas"? God bless you.

L-11   Most Holy and Gracious Heavenly Father, Almighty God, He that was from the beginning, before there was a star, or a atom, or a molecule. You made all things by Jesus Christ Your Son, and hath given us all things freely in Him. We thank Thee, tonight, Lord, for this opportunity that You have given us to assemble ourselves together, to be warned and taught by the Holy Spirit. And the Holy Spirit takes Your words and reveals them to us, for Jesus said, "When He the Spirit of Truth is come, He will remind you of these things that I have said and also show you things to come."

L-12 God, there is not one in our midst, neither is there one upon the earth, who is worthy to try to interpret Your Word, for it is written that, "The Word of God is of no private interpretation." Therefore, Lord, we pray that the Holy Spirit will give to us tonight, each and every one, the portion that we need to satisfy that hunger that's in our heart for a closer walk with Thee. We are unfit, unclean, unworthy. Let the Child that was borned in Bethlehem, that lived the most perfect life, and was the only perfect man upon the earth, and gave Hisself a ransom that He might cleanse us unclean sinners and to bring us into relationship with the Father, grant tonight that His Holy Spirit (through the preaching of the Word) will do that for us.

L-13   Lord God, there is many sick in the land today, in the face of the best medicine that we ever doctored with, and the best medicine and the best hospitals. And yet in all of our great scientific discoveries, yet there is more sickness than the world ever knew, because there's more sin and unbelief than the world ever knew. Help us tonight, Great Physician, and heal the sick that's in our midst.

L-14 And give us the Spirit, the true Spirit of Christmas. When today... that when pagan ceremonies, Christmas trees worshipped, fiction stories of a--a man named Santa Claus, and of our Easter rabbits, and the different fashions that the commercial world has capitalized on, may it be laid aside, God. Let us enter into Christ the Word, for we asked it in His Name and for His glory. Amen.
