You pray for us, we'll talk about it in this message. Esther, chapter five, would ask you about how the Father's about getting you a present. I pray you'd help us to be humble and be little this week, so you could use us as a mouthpiece for you. Thank you for each one that comes. I did preach a brother in each church of mine, with each visitor, each man. It would come this way, Lord, I pray, for what's sent to us is a good place to be. Bless each request a person that's made. You know the much sickness and sorrow and trouble Know the trouble of our nation, I pray you now. The Lord above all will be merciful and hold us long. Forgive our sins, give us a good week, because of your presence we're praising. In Jesus' name we ask, amen. That's the final one. That came to pass on the third day that Esther put on her royal apparel and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house, and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house over against the gate of the house. It was so when the king saw Esther, the queen, standing in the court that she obtained favor of his side. And the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. So Esther drew near and touched the top of the scepter and said, then said the king unto Esther, what wilt thou, Queen Esther? What is our request? It shall be even given thee. to the half of the kingdom. And Esther answered, if it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him. Then the king said, cause Haman to make haste, that he may do as Esther hath said. So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared, and the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine, what is our petition, and it shall be granted thee What is our request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be performed. Then answered Esther, and said, My petition and my request is, if I have found favor with thy side and the side of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition and to perform my request, let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do tomorrow, as the king hath said. I'm glad you're reading the first eight verses of this chapter. to try to turn this around. And he began to send messages to Esther. And how he went to her, to Esther, and sent a message to her, told her, said, now, Esther, you need to go in and see the king. We're in trouble. Our people's in trouble. Now, Esther, you need to go. See, and I hear Esther. And she said, I can't go. You know, she said, I haven't been invited. I've been here these 30, 40 days, or what it was. She said, I haven't been invited to come into the king yet. She said, I'm not able to go. Then I hear Mordecai send a message back to her, tell Esther, said, you need to go and I just put it in all the words. He said, you know, said you may be here just for this purpose. The Lord may have you here just for this reason, to help save our people. Well, I find it, Mordecai told her, he said to Esther, if you're not willing to go, then the Lord will raise up and deliver you from some other way that can come in and help our people. that could help us save us, that thou and thy family would be destroyed. Well, I find in all this that Esther, whenever she really saw the need and saw the trouble that they were in, her eyes no doubt had been opened now, that she began to have a great burden to help her people. She sent back messages to Mordecai and them, said, if y'all perish, now pray. They said, I'll go in and see the king. And if I perish, I perish. Well, the law was then, if anybody went in to the king, And there was not a request without being invited. And it was death to them unless the king would hold out the golden scepter for them. Well, Esther didn't know whether she'd live or die. But she made a statement. She said, I'm going in now. And if I perish, I perish. In other words, my people's in trouble. And I needed to go in and see the king. This is the only way of escape for my people. Then I hear she did. Went in there to the king and then departed. And I read here to you, whenever the king looked up and he saw Esther, and she found favor in his sight. And I hear a king ask this woman, he said, what is our request? Let it be granted thee. What is our petition? Even up to the head for my king, let it be granted unto thee. And I know tonight, today, that this is talking about a woman talking to a natural king and asked him, what is our request? And I find that she told him, said now, I would like for Hamer, he was the one who was in charge of all this. I'd like for you and Hamer to come to a banquet, and we will prepare now. The Lord just was desperately waiting. I was beginning to try to turn this decree around. She didn't just go into the king there and jump right into it and say, I want Hamer killed. But she went there and began to, no doubt, seek the Lord's will to how that we could get this turned around. Well, little by little, as she went to the king, she got her request granted. But there, when she got her request granted, then I find that this hammer that had been so wicked, and even whenever he found out he was invited to the banquet, and he saw Mordecai there, it just tore him up. He couldn't stand the sight of Mordecai. He was jealous of him. When I find out that he went and his wife told him, his real ex-wife, I believe it, she told him, he told her, he said, I just can't hardly take it now. I can't stand it. And she said, well, let's let a gallows be made. Let's hang that fella. Let's get rid of him. We'll get him out of your way. Well, I find that Mississippi old hammer just fine. He went and had a gallows made of 50 cubits high. They ain't gonna hang a mortar cow on him. But you know the Lord has something different in mind. He began to, when the Eskimos, mortar cow, began to see a need to try to turn things around. And so Eskimos got into the king and all, and got them to come to that banquet. He granted her a request. I find in it, just making a long story short, that the gallows that was made for Mordecai, that hammer was hanged on that gallows. There that God turned it around, the Jews were spared. But you know why these Jews were spared? There was a woman that had a request, and I want something done. There was a woman that came in and said, I want some help. I'm willing to put my life on the line there for my people. I'd like to ask us this morning at the beginning of the Bible, what is your request? What is my request? If we had one request here this week, what would it be? There are so many things I'd like to see, but you know, I find in the Bible, even whenever we begin to talk about fasting and praying, you know, when an individual would come to a place to fast and pray, they would do it with one particular thing in their mind. They would have something that they wanted God to do to help them with. And if you had one request this morning, What would that request be? If you had one purpose in mind for this revival, I wonder what it would be. If we thought this morning, if we knew this morning, that this would be the last revival that Tabernacle would ever have, I wonder what would be our request this morning. Would it be that unnatural thing? Or would we have some request for spiritual things? I want to go back and mention something in the Bible that had a request that they wanted the Lord to help them with. You're like this woman. That is she went. And she didn't just know the name of the king now. She had went to God. She sent back word to Mordecai that y'all pray and pray. We got to have some help. She realized that help was gonna come from God. She knew that she'd have to grant, get favor with the king, but she knew too that she couldn't get that favor with the king unless God gave it to her. She knew it'd be death for her if she walked in there, unless God granted her favor with the king. And I see God bless this woman in a special way. Now that the Jews were spared, her people was in trouble. This man this morning, we're in trouble. Our people's in trouble. Our church is in trouble. Our nation's in trouble. Our church is in trouble. They're not giving what we can. And I'm not trying to just paint a sad picture this morning. This man, we got people dying and going to hell, day by day. It seems like in the main, our people don't care. It seems like in the main, they don't bother too much. I hear people just say, oh, my little son's bald. It's my daughter's fault. But you never see it upset him much. You never see it bother him much. They can just go and have a good time. They won't even talk to him, Dr. Lord. They won't try to help him, Mr. Lord. We're in trouble today. If you and I as a church don't see a need to help Paul's father, it depends who he is. Nobody is. This woman says, my people's in trouble. I know I want to help. I've got a nearby. That is, this man realized my people's in trouble. And the king asked him, why are you upset, dear ma, why are you upset? I said, why shouldn't I be concerned? Why shouldn't I be upset? When the gates of the city are torn down, my people are in trouble. The walls have been destroyed. I need some help. He went to the king and made a request to write some letters and give us the stuff we need. I want to work. I want to help rebuild the city. Our people are in trouble. I want to be the one to help. If you have a request this morning, you need to tell it to God. If you got a request this morning, would you be willing to just whatever would be the reason, whatever might be in the way. A lot of people say, yeah, I got a request, but I'm not going to let it bother me too much. I know there's things I need to do, but I'm not going to let that bother me. Dear friend, we can make requests to God from now to the time we die. And if those things in our life are not hard and tender to us, from the heaven of God for granting that request, we might stand before the judgment of God and point a finger at us and say, you're the reason your request wasn't answered. He might point a finger at me and say, I'm the reason my request wasn't answered. God wants to answer our request, dear friend. He wants to bless us. I know He donates everything we ask. I find when Jesus prayed down in the garden, He said, Father, if it's possible, let this cup pass through me. God didn't answer his request. It was better that he didn't. This man, every time we ask, may not be granted. But I'll tell you one thing, it's God's will to say his sermons today. It's God's will to bless the church. We don't have to beg God to say it. He promised to say it. We've got to get in a condition today that God can send us a revival, and nobody can come here to bring a revival, but God has one, dear friend. He's got what we need this morning. We need help, and that help comes from God. If you're depending on me, you're gonna fail. We're depending on the pastor, we're gonna fail. But if we're depending on God this week, we're gonna have a good week. What is our request? I go back to a time when so many people that I go back to in the Bible, and just mention some that was in trouble, or some that asked requests, and they were granted. a great man. You know, after David, Solomon was taken over king back in his father's place. Well, after Solomon, he went and began to talk to the Lord. Let him know that I'm not able to be a king. He said, my father was a great king now, but said, I'm just a lad. I'm just a child. And he began to ask the Lord. He said, Lord, he said, I've got a request of you. And I just put it in my own words. Lord, I need some help. I'm just a child. I can't do it. He said I need to understand him hard. I need you to give me an understanding hard that I can go in and out, know how to go in and out before the people that lead so great a people that I hear the Lord tell us He said, it's all of them, because you've not asked riches and wealth. You've not asked the life of your innocence at all. But you have asked wisdom. You've asked an understanding heart. He said, I'll give it to you. Not only will I give you this, Solomon, but I'll give you this, too. I'll give you more than what you asked for. They've found a will of them before God. And we're going to clear out everything that's in our way. It's done with our lives. Let's see if there's anything in the way. God's got blessings. Well, I trust you this morning. He granted Solomon's request. Let us pay him more than what he asked for. Whenever he offers himself, ask God his request. What is your request this morning? Would it be some personal thing that we might have? What would be greater in your life and my life this week than the great revival here at Temple? What would be better in our lives this week than a long-sought good faith? Though the church has been strengthened, I found a woman by the name of Hannah. This woman saw a need in her life, that she needed some help. That was something she was wanting that she couldn't have. And I find the Lord has not let this woman have any children. And up until this time, and then she began to pray and ask God for some help. And Eli saw this woman over there praying, and he thought she was dumb. That's because she was praying to God. He saw her lips moving. Couldn't hear anything, she said. I hear this woman, he told her, he said, I'm not drunk. He said, I'm a woman of a sorrowful heart. In other words, I've got trouble on my mind now. I have something I want. I'm in need of something. I need somebody to help me. I don't have any children, and I want God to help me, that I can have a man child, that I can get a child born in my family. I hear Eli tell her, go thy way, thy request, and I said, thank you God for granting your request. That's third season this time. When it was season's right, then you'll embrace the child. I find this woman went on her way, wasn't before that Los Angeles farm, that God sent her a request. Why? She didn't go to anybody saying, why are you helping this? She went to God, dear friend. I know there's times when they say, what's the matter, God? That was the right way. But dear friend, this woman went to God there, and then she went to God, told him what her request was. I heard her. God is here with us today. If there ain't nothing in the way with God here in your presence tonight, today. Oh, I beg God even through the night last night, today, when I got up, before I left home, a little further this morning, God, if there's anything in my life, it can be a mix of your song. If there's anything in my life, it can be a revival. One soul can be saved and one soul can be blessed. You show it to me. I'm not one who's not gonna get rid of mine. I'd crawl down these aisles to get rid of mine. Dear friend, I don't want to be a hindrance in the house of God. I don't want to be a hindrance in the service of God. And there ain't no hindrance in your prayer for preaching God. Have a prayer to touch the throne of God, that I may grant her request. And I'll tell you this, there's so many in the Bible that we could go to that people was in trouble. And I found there was a woman, a humanoid woman, that came and said that her son, she had asked for a son to be born. And that her son was born. And I find him one day and it came on the daily. This son went out in the field where his father was. And there he began to cry out, my head, my head. And he told him, he said, go on to the house. And maybe they took him home, maybe that's what it was. Anyway, the boy went to the house. And he sat on his mother's knee there, he said, for a while. And then the boy died. And I find this woman. And she began to go for help for us. This boy was in trouble. This boy was dead now. It needed some life. And I mean, it was how people are dead today, not naturally, but they're dead in trespassing and sin. As Brother David mentioned in his prayer, I doubt there are family here that don't have loved ones. That's your connection to your family that's lost and need to be saved. They're dead in trespassing and sin. This woman realized her son was dead now. And there, she began to know what some help was, like a man of God kind of road. and she began to tell him to saddle up the ax and get what she needed to go there before he lost the world. And on her way, they began to see her coming, and they asked her, she said, it's all well. She said, all is well. Why could that woman say that? She hadn't even gotten to the man of God yet. She had faith to believe that things would be better for her, even though the child was dead there. She had faith enough to believe that all was going to be well. He got a little closer. He said, that's that juvenile woman. They asked her, is our husband well? And she said, at first, is it well with thee? Is it well with our husband? Is it well with the child? She said, it's all well. Then this woman was in trouble there, but she was trusting God at first. And I found whenever she'd come back to the man of God and begin to tell her what it was, he told her, take my staff, and we'll serve her. They must have no offense on the face of the father of the child who was dead. They said, well, come on. They went on behind. He said, whenever you go now, he said, don't fear anybody. Don't barely speak to nobody. Don't worry if they salute you, you don't need to salute them back. Don't worry what was he saying. You got one thing in mind now. That's the job you got to do. Don't let nobody hinder you from that job. Dear friend, we've got a job to do this week. Let's don't let anything or anybody handed us this job, and that is to get things in order to have a great revival here in Chattanooga. But I found whenever he lost them and went back to that place where that boy was, or was dead, and said he went in, back to the room where he was, we know the Lord provided that boy. He brought him back and gave him back to his mother. What made it different? Now they had something in mind, and they knew what help was. Help was in God. Whenever they got the man of God, they began to close the door and they prayed and asked God for help. The child came back. This man and for all his loved ones get saved through this week. It's going to take God. It's going to take his help. It's not going to take mine or yours. It's going to take God. All we can do is pray and get in a condition that we'll not be a hindrance this week. This man was able, God was able through this man to bring that boy back to life. And I tell you, he'll do it today. For those who want him, I find the man Jacob, this man of the time, whenever he said he wrestled with the Lord, and wrestled, no doubt what I think about, it's probably God's personal angel that came to wrestle with Jacob. I don't know. That's what I'd probably say it was. But anyway, he said he wrestled all night long that one night. He know what he said, and he told him, the angel told him, time to lose, time to lose. And I was telling Jacob, he said, I won't turn you loose unless you bless me. I got a request from you now. I need some help. And I'm not going to turn you loose. And Jeremy even tried to holler at Jacob's thigh and made him a cripple, man. Jacob still was there, dear friend. And y'all got some in trouble. I need some help. I want a blessing. I'm not going to turn you loose unless you bless me. Dear friend, how many times? We go to God in prayer, and we're afraid for something done. And if you don't have things like this, go on and forget about it. We don't worry about it. They can say, I'm not paying you loose. I want some help. No, friend, we don't need to turn God loose today. We need some help. We need to have it in the church service. We need to have it at home or wherever we go this week. I wonder how many this morning came to the house of God and never asked God to bless his service. As they can go to church day in and day out. They never stop before they go to church and ask God's blessings upon them. Ask God to help us to get back in order. Learn to help us to have a great service. I'm here before you come this morning before you ask God for a good service. Lord, after the day yesterday, church made requests several times for the revival this week. But how many of us personally took it to God? Personally, let's get it on a personal basis this week. You know, if the Lord say he's been, well, that'd be something in somebody's life that might would hinder. You know, I could get in a horrible, I could still be blessed. You know, God can bless each one. I find whenever the Lord, whenever he mentions about a highway, he said he'd keep the highway straight. You know, as I said, I don't know just all about it, but he said he talked about some curves, some turns, and all in the highway, how he'd make them straight. He'd make the low places, how he'd make them level. In other words, what he's saying, when he makes a good straight path, that's the Lord in his Word. Well, you know, I wonder this week, whenever the Lord begins to bless here this week, how many people he'd have to dodge? How many people he'd have to go around? Whenever he began to go down the benches where you're at, and bless hearts this week. If there's somebody who had to kind of go around and dodge, and he couldn't make a straight pass down through there, I just bless everybody in the service. You know, those that come in blessed, and those that can't fit, those that have a request, those that have a desire to be blessed, that's the one that come in help. And you and I, dear friend, if we don't want help this week, we're not gonna get it. That's how it was last night, I hope, at Central. That is a willing service we offer to God. And if we want any kind of help, Not all the things unto God. We're gonna have to be willing to live for it. We're gonna have to be willing to pray. We're gonna have to be willing to read and study. We're gonna have to be willing to go to church. If we're not willing to do it, and somebody tries to make fun of us, we feel like we're obligated, we're not going to be blessed either. It's all a willing servant. What request do you have this week? Is there something you'd like the God to do? Is there a special burden of heart that you have this week? you want God to help you with. You know, there's nobody else that can help. There's no other place that help can come from except through there. Whenever people was in trouble, they went to God for help. Whenever they went to God for help, they got help. And you know, if they tried to dodge it, tried to bypass it, they didn't get any help. They tried to go any other way, there was no help available. But when an individual would go, thank God there was help. I found a man that said his son was a lunatic. You know what he began to be in trouble? That was his son. And I found whenever his son was in so much trouble that this man said, I know what helps that. I got a request now. I want God's help on my son. My son needs to be healed. He needs to be cured of this disease. And I found when it came to God, But he was scared. He was helped. I find some blind men in the scripture that whenever they heard that Jesus was going to pass by that way, that these men began to cry out. And they cried out, Jesus of Nazareth, have mercy upon us. Well, I found those men couldn't even see Jesus. They didn't know just where he was. They just heard he was passing by. Dear friend, you and I can't see him with our eyes this week, but he can be here and power, he can be here this week with great blessings for us. And we can feel, we can know he's here. We can be blessed here this week. Those men couldn't even see God, Jesus, and he passed that way. But they knew, they asked him, what's all the racket now? What's this racket I hear? He said, Jesus of Madison passing by. Those men, whenever they found out it was Jesus, They cried out more. The people tried to get them to quiet down, you know, and said, cry it out more. They cried aloud, I need help. I need help and all this positive people can't give it to me. But there's one man in the midst that can, and that's genius, and that's what I want some help for. I need Jesus to come up to us and say, what is it that I do for you? What is it now that you want? They said, Lord, we may receive our son. Lord, we may receive our sight. Lord, we're blind. We need help. Now, nobody else can help us. And I find the Lord helped those men. He gave them their sight back. And they were happy. Why? They found a man that could help them. If any of you and I were to be happy this week, let's find a man that could help us. Let's find out where help comes from. Let's do many things in a day. Let's depend on churches, depend on pastors and preachers that will help. We'll do all we can. We'll do everything within our power to defend without God before our face this week. There's no help for us. You want help this week? You got somebody you want to see help this week? There's no way they can help. I know a man, a personal friend of mine. This man didn't care about church. This man wouldn't go to church. He was up in his late 20s, maybe his early 30s. This man didn't care a thing about church. His mother and father weren't as faithful as anybody could be at church. His daddy cried a million times and asked the church to pray for my boy. Pray for my boy and he could be saved. Man don't bow to sin and carry on the way he ought not to. And I tell you, the church prayed for him time and time again. And this dear man, there he just seemed like he was getting farther and farther away. But one day, whenever we'd get past the service, our one morning service at the home church, And by the time we was all leaving, this man's car come flying in there. I mean, he was in a hurry, didn't look like he was going to get stopped. He jumped out of his car and run. Our pastor was getting in his car, officially going to another church. He ran out of where he was. He said, I'm afraid I wasn't going to get here, that I'll risk my life to get healed. Then he tried to get here to tell y'all before he left the church that I just got saved. Man was out on the plate in Motelissa, there in the guard camp. He was in jail that Sunday. He took off. He left. He went there. He said, I want to tell y'all before you leave, that I, Trustee Price, is my savior. If in this result, our people that wanted help, results of parish that wanted help, that's when the man came to the Bible. That's where we're at one day. He said, I've been lost too long. He said, I want to be saved. This man had a special purpose in mind. Thursday morning, Thursday night, man got his business fixed. What makes a difference, dear friend, when individuals are concerned, whenever they want that, above everything else. When you and I want the blessing of God above our own things, our own desires, we can help them. Whenever we see people in trouble, dear friend, we can help them. I find for all the children in the police and jail there, they have the desire to help that man. Whenever they are saying the praise of God, they're in jail, No doubt didn't care about them. He didn't care nothing. He had whipped them. He had beat them. He had dressed them in prison. That time, whenever the Lord God was catching them, there was a different story with this man. A man just moments away from hell. A man that just took his soul and was ready to take his life. He was going to be in hell just in a moment. I heard Paul speak to him and say, do yourself no harm. We're all still here. Listen to what this man said. He came and ran and fell down. then what must I do to be saved? I got a request. I'm lost. I need some help. I can't use the false. I told this man, he said, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. They didn't tell him to get up from there and do better. They didn't tell him to go join the church. They didn't tell him to go get baptized. They told him to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Thou shalt be saved. This man, this man found help. When did he find help? Whenever he wanted to, before anything else. Whenever he called and just submitted, he said, what must I do now? What can I do to be saved? This man, what can I do this week? Thou shalt have a great revival. Thou shalt be blessed. Thou shalt have the blessings of God this week. These lost souls say, what can I do? What is my request? Y'all request this for me? There's so many in the Bible that made requests. I could just go on and on, just naming one right behind another that had requests. But you know, I find that human, whenever they asked him, a fellow pastor, that understands what diabetes is, he said, how can I? Said some man guided. How can I? I can't do it unless I get some help. Dear friend, how can you and I? How can the lost be saved unless they get some help? And I tell you that help is going to come from God this week. I'm looking forward to a good week. I want to see a happy, good week. I want to see a glad revival here this week. And I tell you, Lord, I know what it'll take for us to have a revival. It'll take you and I, the people of God, wanting out above everything else here this week. What is your request this week? Whenever you think about people that have so many requests in life, They have requests, and they want their family healed. I want mine well. My daughter's in the hospital this morning, no doubt. And Brooke Haven, she's having a lot of trouble there. And she's been through a lot of sickness. And I tell you, I'm open to it, bless and all. But then, friend, I care more about the souls of people than I do anything else. I saw her laying on the bed over me, and I had to leave and go quick. And her telling me, she said, Daddy, I won't be here when you get back. Daddy, I'm not going to make it. It's all over with. I had to leave and go, and this lady threw all this stuff and the trouble she had to go through. Still hurtful one day, and I stood up to praise God in the service, but she was still sick. Still hurtful now, and I stood up and I told the church, I said, evidently, there must be somebody here lost, and everybody in the church was a church member. But that time, whenever I praised, I said, I got a message through the ball that my son is about to come up. He's unlawful, in trouble, a church member there. And he saw that girl lying in the corner of his desk, and no doubt some of his best friends were there, but their friends actually didn't save him. We can see Saul was in trouble, and partly he didn't save people, but one of his former comrades, Trustee Clyde, he called him about two days later and said, up on the highway on 35, he stopped He said, I just got saved by driving a truck down 35. You can't watch it all about tonight. That means more than all the world to me, to know that people can be saved and not have to burn in hell. It really means so much to know that the dead are saved, the friends are saved, we're all saved. He asked this woman, he asked that woman that came that she was not alone. It's all well with the husband. It's all well with the wife. It's all well with the children. It's all well with the grandchildren. It's all well with the son-in-laws, daughter-in-laws, brothers and sisters, just let on down to friends. It's all well today. There's not a need we have for the Lord. You know, I hear a man break that table, and he came. He came off the battlefield. You know the message that he asked him. He said, is the young man, Solomon, all right? Is my boy all right now? That's what he wanted to know. No doubt this man would have thought, would have realized this boy was probably a lost cause. I said, Solomon, that's what he said. He said, the young man asked him, well, you know, whenever he got the message, he asked him to stay here. What did they say? What made a difference? No doubt David was in the best condition to die the night before. David and his brother went on that day and gave that boy more opportunity to get his business right. It was all over with. David wanted some help. David knew it was too late to answer that boy. And I'll tell you what, you and I were way too late to ask God's help. I found a man in the scriptures there in Genesis. He saw whenever he went, And then he went to his father, Isaac, and Isaac told him, said, son, you go now, prepare the venison for me. You bring it all to me. He said, so I can eat and bless you, then I'm going to die. Last night, Isaac did exactly what his father told him to. He went out, he prepared the venison. He got it all, I mean, he saw, he got it all together there and brought it to his father. And here's the venison, father. He said, who are you? He said, what's happened now? Somebody done gave it to me. His brother Jason came in before him, received his father, got the blessing. Listen to me, a man with good intentions, did exactly what his father told him to do, gave it to him later. He saw it was too late to receive the blessing. Dear friend, you and I, if we're waiting for the next revival, our next revival may be in hell. It may not be that worse. Those loved ones that we love and care for, if we don't give them sign for them and try to help them today, when we have that great reunion day on the other side, they may not be there. We don't know how much time we got. We may have plenty of time. But wouldn't it be wonderful to see them saved this week, or next week, or as soon as possible. I know God has a time. He's got a growing time. He don't save unless He grows. But if you and I, what I want to stress this morning, if you and I can get concerned, if you and I can see the need above everything, we want blessing. We want revival. We don't want anything to be a hindrance to us having a great revival. If we want that, dear friend, and we'll take it to God, God is able to help. I hear a woman say to God himself, what'd she say? Lord, help me. Lord, help me, I'm in trouble. I need help. That's what you and I need to do today. We need help. That help comes from above. There's nothing that you and I can do except humble ourselves. Dear friend, we don't need to help God find a blessing. We just need to do our part. You didn't know this. You know, you can go back to Esther and say, Esther, what is your request now? And it will be granted to you. What is your request this morning? You reckon it'll be granted? Official request of God, that God will see fit in, He'll grant that request this week or whenever he sees fit. But I'm not telling you he'll do it today, tomorrow, or next week. But you got promises from God if you live for him and honor him, that he can help save lost souls. He can save them, I can help save them, he can save lost souls. But if you and I don't see a need, they may die in their sin. They may never have the opportunity to see the concern of their mother and I had a young woman this past week came to me in tears. Just squabbled. I said, what's wrong? She said, there's a mob of four that saw me. Boy, they should have saw me last week. There's no doubt this gave me better assurance that that was a slave woman. I thought I knew her all the time. I felt like she was. But that didn't give me more assurance. She didn't go nowhere bad place. But just in a place where some people come in and start doing some things they shouldn't do. Hello, my man's house. I read it's what it was. I said, isn't I just having a good time? There's a wreckage, a crowd, a group of these fellas coming in, drunken, and all that stuff. I said, she got her way out, went to the car. Then when she walked out, that was just lost for her. Everybody come to the church before she was going to church. They tore her heart out. She said, you wrecked it before it got found about me. No, it shouldn't have been that way. You know that that's what the devil wants. The devil wants things like that, the hindrance, lost souls. If any, we can sign this one. Above everything else, let's put our trust in God. Ask him to give us a revival this week. And let's make our request now to him and see if we can have a good week this week. If you pray for me, that I could be in a position that nothing I would do or say would be an hindrance this week, I wouldn't have a great week to see lost souls saved. I have a long road without you have a long road if God don't help us with 40 and do it with while we have a personal song we have a third-party
