CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are some of us, and God has been touching your heart, there are
some of us, and we need to spend time with Him, and we need to open our
hearts before Him, and we need to say, God, I don't want to miss
anything that you have in store for me. We can open the altar of this
beautiful church tonight, and I wonder if there are some of us and you
say, Brother Gerard, I just want to come and seek the Lord. Can I
challenge you, would you like just to slip out, come and find a spot, no
one is going to pray with you, you're just going to be on your own,
alone with God.

Would you like to come right now, just come and find a spot at the altar
of the church, you come spend some time alone with God, we wait for you.
Say, Lord, I need to seek your face right at this very, very first
night. It's the Father, the Father of my children, the husband of my
wife, the mother of my daughters, I need to seek your face.

We just wait, and you just come, would you? Still some people coming, we
just wait for you. Anyone else who want to come? Those of us here at the
front, we can take some time with God. Those of us that are standing,
I'm going to ask you if you could just slip around on your knees, and
that's the way we will close this first evening on our knees, and we
take some time to seek God, and when you leave, we're going to ask that
you leave very, very quietly, so that those of us that want to seek God
can just seek Him.

So, just stand around and get on your knees before God, and that's the
way we close this service.
