<TITLE>16. Par 154-162</TITLE>L-154 We are setting here tonight. God only knows where we'll be in the morning. Now, if you're not right with God... While we pray, right in your heart now, not to me, not to the people, but in your heart, before God, say, "Lord Jesus, I have just been playing around. But tonight I feel in my heart that this is the time that I want to accept You fully as my Saviour. And from this on, by Your grace, I'll look straight to Calvary and walk a straight Christian life."
Shall we pray. Heavenly Father, in Whom we love and trust, knowing this... As a minister, priest, ministering spiritual things to people, standing here tonight between the living and dead, knowing this, that someday without a shadow of doubt, I'll have to answer for every word at the judgment seat of Christ. Seeing men and women in here, lovely people, do anything that I'd ask them to do, Father.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... see someone needy, and good-hearted. Now, Lord, it's hard, as a human being with them, to bring those cutting words, that they must receive Christ or be rejected...

L-156 Father, that brings us to know that I have a pure, Divine love for them, not something that would harm them, but something that loves them eternally. And I have offered them Thy Son, the Lord Jesus, Who will stand in their stead at the day of judgment.
Father, I pray that You will receive every one. I never asked for hands to be lifted up. I didn't feel to do that. But I felt that there's many here, Father, that wants to walk close to You. They want to surrender themselves. And they're doing it right now. By faith, I believe it, Lord, that they're now laying aside every little weight, and saying, "From tonight on, seeing that life is so fragile anyhow, there's not much to it, I want to spend all that I have for the Lord Jesus." And, God, grant, that from this night, they will walk that way.
And then, Father, may those same people walk here and take the communion tonight now, the broken body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And then we... If they do that with a sincere heart, You said You'd raise them up at the last day and give them Everlasting Life. Grant these things, kind Father, for we ask them in Jesus' Name, Thy Son. Amen.

L-159 I'm not going to ask you how many made the consecration, but I believe many of you did. And myself, I did in my heart. "Lord, take that critical spirit from me."
Now, I don't criticize people out to their face, but in my heart I do. I see a lady walking down the street, especially that, and see she's not dressed proper. I say, "Isn't that awful?" In my heart, I don't say it to nobody else. After all, that's her business. She's a free moral agent. She ain't got no right to do it; Christ bought her life; but maybe she doesn't understand.
So it's not for me to criticize. Let God do that. When I'm in the pulpit, I'll preach the Gospel the best way I know how, and the rest of it I'll commit to God. The Lord bless you, friends.

L-162 Now, we're going to have communion service, just in a few minutes. How many believes in communion? Thank you. That's what Jesus Christ asked us to do, said, take the broken parts of His body, and to do it until He returned again. And if you who believe this to be the truth, and you'd like to have this little time of fellowship with us around the Word of God here, we'd be happy for you to stay with us and--and have this time. If not, we're going to dismiss just a few moments. We'd like you to stay with the rest of them, anyhow, so that you'll be able to see the way we take the communion. This is not only...
This is for, also, for Divine healing. Do you know that? When Israel eat the type, the lamb, the passover, they journeyed forty years in the wilderness and come out without one feeble person in their midst. Think of that: not one feeble person, forty years. The communion, a sign of believers...
