<TITLE>24. Par 89-92</TITLE>L-89 Oh, there's people in Eternity tonight, out in hell screaming. If we could walk and pull open the gate like this and let you look down in there, I'd never have to make much of an altar call. They'd be screaming and climbing over one another for the opportunity, but they have passed beyond the veil and beyond mercy now. It's too far. They can't never be redeemed. They're gone forever. They will never, never be redeemed.
They had the same opportunity that you have. You wouldn't want to take their place tonight, would you? So why not take the place at the right-hand of Christ? To set with Him in heavenly places. And with the saints. And with the redeemed of the age, to live in the blessed forever.

L-90 And you without the baptism of the Holy Spirit, while we sang the third verse of the song, will you come now? Let's stand while we sing this and everyone remain, if you will. And I wonder if them who wants the baptism of the Holy Spirit would walk forward for prayer tonight, while we sing the third verse.
... precious blood
... Never lose it's power,
 Till all the ransomed Church of God
 Be saved, to sin no more.
 Be saved, to sin no more,
 Are saved, to sin no more;
 The... all the ransomed Church of God
 Are saved, to sin no more.
God bless you. Just look around the altar tonight. Young women and so forth coming down at the altar, The tears running down their cheeks, wanting to receive Christ. Aged men and women, with their hair frosted, turning to an eternity. Won't be long till the gates will open and they'll move in. Down to the altar, wanting to be borned-again of the Spirit of God.

L-91 Is there a backslider here tonight, would say, "Brother, preacher, God knows that I need Christ. I'm coming." Oh, yes. I believe you can backslide. If you're backslid, won't you come too, and take your place here. Say, "God, I want to renew my fellowship with Thee"? God hasn't cast you away.
The prodigal son was a backslider, but the father was more than glad to receive him. He's waiting for you tonight. Won't you come tonight? Won't you come while we sing another verse of a song? Is there another verse to that, sir? The fourth verse. Backsliders and those seeking the Holy Spirit, will you move forward? Forgive me for keeping you a long time, but, oh brother, just think what Eternity is. See?

L-92 And you dear old Methodists tonight, and Baptists here, that's what your fathers preached and believed years ago, down through New England states here. When Wesley and Asbury come through here, they had to rent schools, and they'd fall under the power of God and lay there till morning, under the in--power of the Holy Spirit. They'd pour water on them, fan them with fans and everything. See?
But you got starchy and got away. Not you, dear children, your pastors. Because they begin to think more of theology and doctrines than they did of letting the Holy Spirit have Its way. This is just the Holy Spirit continuing on in the Church. We're not asking you to join church; we're asking you to come and join Christ, be borned-again. Go to any church of your choice. That's it.
We just want you right with God. It's nothing to me, only you're my brother and I love you. And you're my sister, and I have a godly love for you, knowing this as a servant of God, unless you're borned again, you'll perish as sure as the world. Every effort you made is all in vain; it'll never be reckoned. "Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity. I didn't even know you."
Won't you come, while we sing once more? All right, brother.
... by faith I saw... (Won't you come down and kneel with the rest of them. Come, give God a chance tonight to...)... ply,
 Redeeming love has been my theme,
 And shall be till I die.
 And shall be till... die,
 And shall... I die;
 Redeeming love has been my theme,
 And shall be till...
