Week of Meetings 08 7 Facets of Love — James K. Boswell

He was singing with that mass of love, and it means so much to all of our hearts, I know. John, on the sixteenth chapter, we have been looking at the two passages of love, as our desire to finish where we started off this morning.

We looked at the Father's love for the Son, the Son's love for the Father, and the Son's love for you and for me, and for His own. And we notice that that was an individual love, it is a personal love, a love of the Father for the Son, love of the Son for the Father, and His love for us individually, it is a personal love.

Aren't you glad He loves you? I know you are. But now, before that, let us look at the Father's love for you and for me tonight. Chapter sixteen of John, and the twenty-seventh verse. Of the Father Himself that loveth you.

Now, let that still be just for a moment. The Father Himself loveth you. As that dawns in upon you, as that grips you, do you know the joy and the thrill of that lovely experience? Not just a text or scripture, but a living bud or reality in your own heart.

This day will provide spirit-life to each of you. In the early hours of the morning, the Father Himself loveth you. And the thrill of that never leaves me. The Father Himself loveth you. Keeping that before you, go down to chapter twenty-seven, and verse number twenty-three.

The joys in them are now in me, that everything is perfect in one, that the world may know that thou hast set me, and hast loved them, and that thou hast loved me. He said this morning that the son's love for us, his child's expectation of the Father's love for him, is the very same in measure and in perfection, the very same love.

The Lord emphasized this, gave me a reading that says, Love is there, that's the Father loving us, as is love the Son. Oh, the mighty power of these words. Then go down to verse number twenty-six. And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it, that the love with which thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Now, does that not do something to your heart? Recognize the very same love with which the Father loves the Son, is the love he is loving you with, and not loving me with. Because we are his own dear children, we sometimes speak these words and signals, So dear, oh, dear I cannot be, for the very love with which he loves his Son, such is his love for me.

So near, so very near, oh, near I cannot be,. In the first verse of his song, I am at liberty. Now, note that before you go through the first psalm, and the very third chapter. One psalm, and that's the Thistle, and the third chapter.

The Family Identity of God’s Children

Remember now, we're dealing with a Father's love for us individually, and as a family. The Gospel of John is written that we might believe, and the epistle is written that since we do believe, we might know that we have eternal life.

Now, this is here a family picture. I'd like you to remember that, as we read verse number one of 1 John 3. Behold, can it all, can it utter of me, in wonder? Did this fill your heart with wonder, and amazement, with the holy awe of the night?

Behold, what manner of love the Father bestowed upon us. We shall be called the sons of God, as if I certain had shut the hour. Aren't you glad to know you are a child of God? Christ is in Christ Jesus.

Says the Father, but aren't we all God's children? There is a loving God who is the creator of all mankind. He is the Father of all you girls, who has a lady on his son. Let us read verse number 26. Now are ye the children of God.

Christ is in Christ Jesus. Now, remember, John 1 verse number 12. But, because many have deceived him, the Lord gave me power, the legal right, to become a child when we were not, to become the sons of God, even though they believe on his name.

Now, because we are his children, and his spirit shall be filled with us. God says, remember, in Galatians 4 verse number 6. Because ye are sons, because ye are children, God sent forth the spirit of each son into your heart, crying, Abba! Father!

Is the spirit of the sons with them that says, Abba! Father! Oh, the one that glory through the night! Abba! Father! We approach thee in the Savior's precious name. We, thy children here in the assembly, ask this through thy precious praise.

And now it says, Behold, what manner of love. Remember, it says concerning Christ, what manner of child is this? It says, what manner of man is this? And now, here we have, what manner of love is this?

And the Father declared upon us that we should be called the sons of God. We are the people of great dignity. We are the children of God. What an honor! What a privilege! What dignity is ours tonight, that we form the royal family?

What an honor! Have royal blood surging through your veins. You're held in high esteem. Give appreciation. You're honored. You're lauded. You're praised. You're called to belong to the royal family. Though I put a great decline for the royal family, all that still is insignificant.

Do not recognize you're a child of the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. You are a child of God. Next, let us lean into your eyes. A spring in your step. A glory of compliments. A radiance above your whole fairy.

I am a child of God. I send the truth from you tonight, and you're a child of God, my King. In Christ be love. Not only are we a people of dignity. Then he says, verse 31, John 3 says, Therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.

The Distinction and Holiness of God’s People

We are a people of distinction. Not only are we a people of dignity. The Son of God. We are a people of distinction. The world knows us not, because it knew him not. Now listen as a reminder to the statement.

He's saying, these are in the world. I am no longer in the world. Now he says, the world knows them not. Because it knew him not. And because this evening hour we are identified with him. Having his own spirit in filling up.

We are a marked people. We are a unique people. Let nobody like us. We are a people without a match. We are a dignified people. We are a distinct people. A people of distinction. You like to think that it's time, don't you?

But it's perfectly true. That's what God's saying about you. That's what God's saying about me. We are a dignified people. We are a people of distinction. The world knows us not, because it knew him not.

When the unsaved person can understand you. They're coming home with their testimony. We are an enigma. We are an amazement. We are a wonder to the unbeliever. But going down to Father Dawson. And this time we're here at your conference.

Here's someone saying, Why you must be off your rocker. If you don't understand the joy. Or the thrill. That's yours tonight. Because you've got the very precious life of Jesus Christ in you. The very spirit of Christ in dwelling you.

Or the reality of this. We are a people of distinction. I want to emphasize something here to be an encouragement to you. And it's just this. In one spirit says, We are a peculiar people. Obviously that's not right it is.

That word peculiar doesn't mean an oddball or a square. No, no, no. It's got a beautiful meaning. A people beyond the ordinary. And a people for his own possession. And that's just what we are. We are a people beyond the ordinary.

We are beyond the ordinary in our birth. We are born. Not of blood. Not of the flesh. Not of the will of man. We are born of God. We are beyond the ordinary in our relationship. We are now the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

We are beyond the ordinary in our citizenship. Our sister to heaven. Conferring all to the lips of the Savior. We are beyond the ordinary in our companionship. Our companionship with the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost.

And with all who out of a pure heart call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. O beloved we are an extraordinary people. We are a people beyond the ordinary. Now please never lower that standard. Never let it come down to the level of ordinary people.

Especially in your theology and in your language. Don't get the modern jargon of this world. You're beyond all that. You're a heavenly people. And you should have a heavenly language. Not the slang of this whole world.

O my friend you are a distinct people. And remember there were no rather very words other than J's confined. There's speech. There is faith in Christ. And it's true. And our speech and our demeanor and our openness should be marked as those who belong to the family of God.

Isn't that precious? It really is I know. Tell me more. A people for his own possession. His own special treasure. The downing of his own heart. He says in 1 Corinthians chapter 6 verses 19 and 20. But know ye not you're not to own your thoughts with a price.

Never glorify God in your body and in your spirit with a God. Your thoughts with a price. Let Christ be known not silver nor gold. It's the precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now it bothers us that he might possess us.

And we're a people for his own possession. Having his purchase at a tremendous price. The precious blood of God's own Son. Years ago, a lot of years ago, in fact now. It was our son Peter when he was quite young.

He was living down near Birmingham, England at the time. And Peter's next goal was a baptism in the blood of the Lord. She said to him, she said to him, her son for a picture away. Then she saw me going through my garden gate.

She said to him, look Peter, she was coming up your garden path. When the wee fellow saw me, he got through the fence, came running down. I dropped my case and just waited for him. He looked up and said, my own data.

My own data. These words, my own, never left me. The thrill and the joy of that young lad saying, my own data. And the Lord looked him in the heart, dear child of God. And he said, my own speckled treasure.

You're a people beyond the ordinary. My own speckled treasure. My own by creation. My own by redemption. My own by precious blood. My own by eternal covenant. Friend, you see that you belong to him. Take a look up to not a statement of our thoughts.

Oh, Jesus, Lord and Savior. I give myself to thee. For thou in an atonement didst give thyself to me. I own no other master. My heart shall be like Rome. My life I gave aimfully. Oh Christ, for thee alone.

Behold what man of love. The Father is called upon us. He shall be called the Son of God. The world knows it not because it knew him not. We are a people of dignity. And we're a people of distinction.

Salvation, Assurance, and the Hope of Christ’s Return

May I ask you lovingly, are you tonight a child of God? Are you tonight born of God's Spirit? Do you know the joy of the Holy Spirit indwelling you? If not, why not this very night? What joy will be your joy if it's God?

If you're recognizing there's an emptiness. There's something missing in that life of yours. That something is someone. That someone is the Holy Son of God. Do not stand at very hard golden stairs. Behold, I stand at golden doors.

If anyone hears my voice, open the door. I will come in. And he comes in by his Spirit in your spirit mind. Let me know that you're born into a family of God. And you're a new creation altogether. And you've been saved from your past triumphs.

He's a new life. Oh, how he's changed me. He's a new life. He'll rearrange me. He's a big life. He's a wonderful life. He's a great life. All this life is bundled up in the Lord Jesus Christ. Then we're a people of destiny.

Jesus said in the very next verse, Behold, my beloved, now are we the sons of God. And it does not interfere what we shall be. For we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is.

Oh, we are a people of destiny. We are the people of God. We are the children of God. And we've got a destiny. And our destiny says time. Isn't that wonderful? And you've got the feeling in your own heart that you are a people, a person of destiny.

You know your destiny. And you're going to be with him. And you're going to see him. And you're going to be like him with all the constant ages of eternity. And you look up to God and say, Thank God, Jim, that is my destiny.

I know with certainty in my own heart that is my destiny to be with him in this present of fulness of joy and that of pleasure forevermore. This can be your certainty tonight. I pray God that no doubt is here.

Pray God that none fear doubting. He is the first salvation. You can know and gladness through the night and faith in your very heart. Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine.

Here is salvation, person of God, God of His Spirit. Watch me reply. This is my story. This is my song. Praising my Savior all the day long. Yours too, isn't it? I'm sure it is. Tell me more. Then we're a people of beauty in verse number three.

And every man hath his hope set on him, purify themselves even as he is pure. We're a people of destiny, and we're a people of beauty. Those who have their hopes set on him, Christ, they shall purify themselves even as he is pure.

This has a purifying influence in our lives. No one will tell me they're expecting Christ to come back at any moment, but not for the desire to live a holy life. It's a contradiction in terms. And no one will ever tell me they're expecting Christ to come back at any moment, but not with a passion for the souls of men and women.

Recognizing that Christ shall come this very night, their faith runs with flow through all their awful salvation. My praise to those who have their hopes set on him, they purify themselves even as he is pure.

Like Bible characters, we had a job getting the teenagers up there to wash. You haven't got that problem down there, God be honored. But you know, those teenagers, the job is to get them to wash. This particular teenage boy, we saw him this day down the lane, and he's got a great big smelly crotch and a spiral throat, and he's going to have a wonderful leather.

We were quite convinced that he'd be converted. We were quite sure he'd be saved. You know, when his friend was in, his friend was up when he'd become a Christian, you know. Friendless is next to God in us.

That's not in the Bible. It's a wonderful model, isn't it? It really is. Friend was in and was up. And you know that boy, he was ten minutes before the mirror, trying to get his hair pounded properly, and so we were quite convinced, we were quite sure that boy had been saved.

But you know what happened? Half an hour afterwards, a car came running onto campus, and when the car ran a teeny scale, they ran to his cabin to meet her. He was polishing up, because his young lady was coming.

His beloved was coming. When we all polished up, smiling, shining, her hair on her face, and she and I, beloved, our beloved is on the way. Are we all polished up? Everything clean about the boy? Remember you're a child of God.

He felt not his early spirit. This is an interesting picture. And it happened three or four hundred years ago. A young couple became engaged to be married. He said to her, dear, I'm going to Australia.

I'm going to try and make good, and I'll come back to you as soon as I possibly can. She wasn't too happy about his going away, because he had just become engaged to be married, but she knew her future depended upon it, and so off he goes.

He gets a job, and after some time, letters are coming from England, and from Australia every day. They're planting each other somewhere across some of the oceans, but those little heartbeats of love are coming, and how they look, all those letters every day coming, and he looks proud of the oceans.

They love each other. Then with the money he takes with him from Britain, and the money is now earning there in Australia, he begins to build. He gets the lot, and begins to build. He goes on building, and building, and building, all in view of the day when his bride will be here with him, her share of the pearls.

All the cover screens, all the drapes, all the furnishings, all in view of the homecoming of the bride, and all of what he felt she would like. Everything prepared for the coming of the bride, for one day.

She gets a table, and arrives in Southampton with a certain look, a certain day. Now everything that she's prepared gets coloured in view of that day. During the night, the green line of steam takes the great harbour, the harbour there of Southampton.

Hundreds upon hundreds of people down there on the harbour looking for the loved one, but there are a few young people halfway brimmed with everybody else around them. The young fellow looking over the sun, the door, where is she?

Young fellow looking up, where can he be? She's looking for him, that crowd of people looking over the sun. All the suns, they see each other. John, John I see you. Oh Mary, I see you Mary. Oh, they clap.

Oh, the joy of each young heart. Why? Oh, there's just no home, no crown, whatever. That joy, there's no real to that. Why? A joy, why Mary? And I was going along with friends from up the bay in a, a gas station a minute or so some time ago, and the crowd were coming with me, and they could see the girls, and they could see the young fellow looking over the sky.

The young girl says, what do you think happened, friend, that I play? A voice from the congregation said to me, I, I, I thought he meant he's distraught himself. Well, that wasn't the cause. The man really meant if he's just so excited to see her, he didn't make all the jangling to the crowd.

Oh, no. He got right over the top and he's down and he's so keen to be with her. But he didn't do that, really. The jangling, for example, he comes down the jangling, gets to a person, heads away to the crowd, was really cunning.

They meet, they hug each other, they embrace each other, they look in each other's eyes, and all the excitement, all the joy bubbling up in his young heart. Why? He kept his promise, he'd come back from his, he's wonderful, he's wonderful.

And oh, he's like so glad I was loyal to him. I'm so glad I was true to him. I'm so glad I didn't flirt around with other boys when he was away. And now he comes back and all the joy that fills my heart.

Total Surrender and Living for Christ

Oh, I wonder tonight if you're all on the altar. Every one hundred percent on the altar for Jesus Christ for the advent of Jesus Christ tonight. It is twenty-nine o 'clock practically certain that he won't ever return.

Oh, I wonder who he is to come to come today. He must have come Lord Jesus to catch up my bride away. Oh, how my heart is yearning longing for that returning. He must have come Lord Jesus. He must have come today.

My beloved, I'm wondering are we searching around for the world for the ways of the world of politics of the world of faith of the world the religions of the world the materialistic age we're living in so in the hearts of many away from naturally past for eternity.

Oh, my heart is yearning longing for that return Lord Jesus to catch to catch him to catch Why? Because you are a child of God. What manner of love is this, that Father be stood upon us, that Father love you, he loves me?".

Now, isn't that terrific? Let us hurry to another, shall we? Let us go back again to the Gospels I have shown, and at once here I expect to be a real blessing and encouragement to others. Look at the Father's love for the Son, the Son's love for the Father, and the Son's love for us, and now the Father's love for us, too.

I love to develop that, that I will not allow. Now, think of your love and my love for the Lord. The believer's love for God. We'll go back again to John 16 and verse number 27, the very same verse. He will say here, "...for the Father himself loveth too, because he hath loved me.".

Because he hath loved me. Isn't that just precious? This is now our love for the Son, our life. Now, keeping that before you, please go back to John 14 and verse number 50. John 14 and verse number 50.

"...if ye love me, keep my commandments.". Verse 21. "...he that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he that loveth me, and he that loveth me shall love my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.".

Jesus answered straight on in verse 23, "...if a man loveth me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our own home.". Verses. "...remember how the Father proved his love for the Son, and gave him all that he had.

The Son proved his love for the Father, and for the Jesus. The Son proved his love for us. By dying for us upon the cross, he loved me, and gave himself for me. The Father loved us. He proved his love by giving his Son.

So God showed us the world. He gave his only begotten Son. He gave his only begotten Son. He proved his love for us, and he gave him his own Son. And now, how are we going to prove our love for the Lord Jesus?

By singing my hymns about his love? Through Catholic choruses about his love? We are going to prove our love by confidence. This is a new commandment I give unto you. It says in John 14, verse 15, "...if you love me, you will keep my commandment.".

So, the cross means what we just remembered. The verse number 12, chapter 40, verse 15. This is my commandment, that ye love one another, and I have loved you. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another.

We are going to deal with that just in one moment. But just think of the Lord and his majesty's grace here tonight, and neither to us can we add one to the other. And it is said to your heart, and it is said to my heart, and it is said to Peter in John 21, "...lovers love me more than...".

"...lovers love me more than...". I remember years ago speaking at a large assembly, well-known to many here. After the breaking of bread, a man, one of the elders, came up and said, "...would you like to come home for lunch with us today?".

I said, "...thank you.". I said, "...I don't know, have you met my husband?". He said, "...yes.". He was never quite willing to come, probably left a bit early, I don't know. "...Hi, Father, then.". I said, "...yes.".

He said, "...I want to talk to my daughter.". I said, "...yes.". She's going with an unclean boy, and I want to talk to her. He said, "...I've got complete confidence, Uncle Jim Marshall, I'll talk to him about this.".

I could remember the man, not his daughter. His daughter was out teaching another Sunday school, but his lunchtime she'd been home, and I knew her immediately. I've got that many happy memories of his well-bibled school.

After that, he said, "...Uncle Jim, will you please come and talk with me?". I said, "...yes.". He said, "...I'd love to have a chat with you about coming, going into a room.". He said, "...has Daddy talked to you about my association with this boy?".

I said, "...yes, but I don't agree with you, Daddy.". I said to him, "...are you really nagging her? Are you really getting after her? Never nag a teenager. You'll get no fare with them. Never nag them.

Never keep after them. Love them, and by please taking my example, you'll win them. But never nag.". She began to infer in her heartlessness, "...I'm not concerned so much about you and your boyfriend.

I'm concerned about you and your relationship with Jesus Christ.". I remember that day well, when he got away with his Bible, anger, food, milk, books, police, taxis. I remember it well when he came running back and said, "...I've surrendered my whole life to Jesus Christ.

My all is on the altar for him. He means everything to me.". This girl did her nurse's training, went to a theological seminary. She said, "...now, I want to ask you a question. Do you remember the story of Ruth and Illuminate?".

Illuminate means, "...my God is saved.". And as long as he was chained in the family, everything was wonderfully well, going wonderfully well. But one day, he died. And those who knew that he died, Van Halen and Trillian, their two sons, went after Ruth and Orpah in a strange land, as they conspired God's will.

He said, "...my dear, when Illuminate was there, and he was in control, my God is King. There is no desire to go after this woman here, and when the Lord is Lord in your life, there is no desire to go after that misconscious holy man of your will.".

The young girl turned around and stopped me and said, "...Uncle Jim, I've been with many boys in this family, many boys in the neighboring family, but I've been with this boy eight times, and he's never once taken my hand, and never kicked me.".

"...I find higher morals and higher ethics in this boy than I do in some of the professors.". She threw me right back in my ear, because I knew. I said, "...I want to ask you a question. Is my God King in your life today?".

She began to say, "...I'm going to leave you with one question, and I want you to answer not me, but to the Lord, who has to answer this question.". The lover saw me more than...the lover saw me more than...

Within two minutes, that girl was on her knees, a tear rolling down her face. She confessed her backsliding, confessed to come right back to him, "...Lord, I lay this young man upon the altar, calling him by his name.

I lay this young man upon the altar, taken completely out of my life. I surrender my all to Jesus Christ.". That was in the afternoon. In the evening, the auditorium was packed. They brought the stairs up from the basement and set them all around the place.

I did something I very seldom do in a gospel meeting. I gave a Catholic appeal. And as those who want to trust Jesus Christ, those who have seen the Lamb, those who have seen the walk, those who have come, and those who came out with a track and fine-looking young man, I said, "...Can I talk with you personally?".

She said, "...Yes.". We went into a room together, and after a time, this young man came right through, but Jesus Christ called his name. He told me, "...Did you know Stone's Soul?". "...Yes.". "...Does he know you're here?".

"...Well, have you spoken to him this afternoon?". "...No.". "...She knows you're here, of course, because she's seen you walking down the aisle.". That young woman was willing to do business with God.

"...I lay it all upon the altar.". "...Lay that young man upon the altar.". God gave him thanks for that night of converting man. I converted man. In the honor of God, he was honored. As he went up in the entire room, others were being dealt with in other parts of the building.

And as he went up from the auditorium that night in the Inquiry Room, the first man he met was his dead old father. He went up and said, Sir, I have been saved now. Do you know what he said? I'll wait and see.

I overheard it, and we'll talk it upon. No, please. That young couple got together and went around giving some little talk. One day they said to each other, We don't think what one God wants to be together.

We love each other. Let's still be good friends. The young man still not married. The girl is married, and their children are gone even later. The late Prime Minister. And the daddy is extremely happy.

He's got three children. Then back to schoolboys and parents. I'm quick to remember. If you love me, you'll keep my command. Has the Lord been talking to you about the legal sexism? If you love me. Has he been talking to you about remembering the Lord Jesus on the 30th of every week, not just once a month, but three months upon the 30th, every week.

He's lovingly praying. Has he been talking to you about going forth in the true prime ministry, going into all the world and preaching the gospel? Has he been calling you to a district presentation where the Lord proclaims wonderful names and he's saying to all of us tonight, I beseech you, therefore, brethren, Father, mercy, glory, and thanks be to your body, our living sacrifice, all this that runs along with it, your intelligence, your rational, your logical discernment, your spiritual version.

May I ask you lovingly, as I implore you now a hundred times in my message, may I ask you lovingly, are you willing tonight to reveal the conjunction and have you presented your body as a Christian? Has there been a moment in your life when you've dealt and delivered your conjunction to come tonight, laid you all on the altar?

Believe God, if not for another night. Lovest thou me more than is there something coming in between, in between you from going all the way tonight? Why call you me Lord, Lord? And do not refuse. Why call me as before you lift all your heartless heart from me?

Did love go out against our will? Is it all laid out upon us, brethren, and we didn't let it? Oh, may we come tonight, in whole heart and very heart, cry with all sincerity, love for maiden so divine as hath my heart, my love for maiden.

Oh, precious ones, how lovely thou art! Come and abide in me, rule in my heart. Break every fetter like day that we see. Then I shall enter into the power of love for the Father, and love for the Father, and love for the Christians, for you and for me, and the power of love for us, and our love, our love for the Father.

Then, in fellowship spirit, we will sleep in his peace. I will walk by his side in the way. For his sake, we will do. For his sake, we will seek him number five hundred and forty-one. Five hundred and forty-one.

We are long for sweet peace, and for faith to increase, and have earnestly, earnestly pray, but you cannot have rest, nor be perfectly blest, until all on the altar is laid.". These are remarkable words.

The Crusade Testimony and Complete Consecration

He gave this out one night, more than one night, in Honolulu during the January-February Crusade. The break was just tremendous. I got a note after I left there at a testimony meeting. One of the elders had broken down during that crusade to give his whole life, along with others.

This one, a dear Japanese brother, called him, and he said he gave his best, wondering how he accomplished it, that Christ now lived in him, that Christ owned everything, that he belonged completely to the Lord Jesus, and how he had made his life.

He said, I am going to sing it. And as he prayed, it broke down, and began to throb, and the whole place just melted, just melted, because they were willing to do business with God. Oh, what a weekend it would be around here, and pass the time, if only one here tonight would come to recognize what it means for a Christ that is literally living in him, and all are on hold.

May God bless you all. May my heart be clean, and let you know that I come in for you on 10 o 'clock within the practice. Thank you for coming right now. I know it's a little bit off the top, but I would like to end with this part of the verse number 3.

I'm sure she knows it very much. Now, you listen very carefully to the words, so you just get the picture. God has been speaking to all of our hearts during these particular days. We have been very conscious of this first movement in all of our lives.

A Closing Call to Personal Surrender

I wonder, have we faced the question? Can we answer it with absolute certainty? Yes, Lord. As far as I know, my all is in the office of Christ. Have thy way, Lord. Have thine own way. Hold out our being at which way.

Fill with thine spirit, Lord, with peace. Christ fill me, always. Living. We believe, Lord, that is the prayer of each heart, God, in thy presence now. Maybe some have never yet come into personal contact with you, Lord Jesus.

It has been a very night when our hearts were open to seeing only their very own God and Savior, the one worthy to be overstepped and raised, Lord, in each and every compartment of us. We thank this assembly company for the quiet hush that is getting in upon us all in tonight to present evidence of this first operation.

Now, Lord, we beseech thee, may we trouble thee. May we be very conscious of thy presence as we go to our places of abiding. Set a watch, Lord, that we may not see against thee, our God, to grant the meditation of our hearts, and the words of our mouth may be acceptable in thy sight, our God, our strength, and our unity.

Bring us up, O God, in the modern night world, in the spirit of eternity. May thy glory and thy power and thy majesty fill this whole place. May we see no one. We can be of any help to anyone. Do make it known that's why we're here.

God bless you. Thank you for coming.
