<TITLE>18. Par 70-72</TITLE>L-70 And I looked there, there my name laying there on an old book, wrote all kinds of things: "condemned." I crawled up to His feet, and I said, "Lord Jesus, will You forgive me then? I didn't mean..." I said, "You mean my sins hurt You, like that?"
Said, "Yes."
He took His hand and dipped it in His side, took His finger and wrote across the book, "Pardoned," put it back behind Him, like that, put His arms together, and looked at me. He said, "I forgive you, didn't I?"
I said, "Yes, Lord. I love You for it."
He said, "But why are you condemning her then? I'm... You're willing to--to condemn someone else, but look, you was condemned once yourself, and freely He pardoned you."
That changed my motive. Soon as I got out of the vision, I walked over there to her. I said, "Madam, could I talk to you a minute?"
She said, "Oh, I have company."
I said, "I don't mean it that way, lady. I'm a minister of the Gospel. I want to talk to you."
She took her cigarette down; she said, "Yes, sir."
And I said, "Why are you living like this?" I said, "You don't really, really enjoy it. Are you a mother?"
She said, "Yes, sir."
And she give me her story, and it was a heartbroken story, a picture of life's other side: disappointments and things. She said, "Sir, I was raised in a Christian home."
I told her what the Lord Jesus rebuked me for condemning her and wanted her blowed up for something like that. I said, "Lady, I want to ask you, will you forgive me for having such thoughts about you?"
She said, "Certainly, son. Will you pray for me, that I will be saved?"
I said, "Will you kneel down here?"
She said, "I will." We turned that place in to a prayer meeting. That's right. The woman got saved. See? God will provide, won't He? God will provide. He has already provided a way of escape for every one.

L-71 Shall we pray, while we bow our heads, just a moment. Our heavenly Father, we come to Thee with all of our hearts to confess our wrongs, and knowing, us being the seed of Abraham, and yet, Lord, how Thou hast dealt with us wondrously, forgiving us our sins and trespasses. And tonight in this audience, after we've seen the simplicity of the preaching of the Gospel, how that Christ died for our sins in our stead, and to reconcile us back to God the Father, that we might, through His reconciliation, be brought back to a full sonship with God... How we thank Thee.

L-72 Father, many are wayward, and they don't mean to be that way, Lord. Maybe some in here tonight, may be drunkards, may be people that's done stepped over the line, and went in to immoral acts, and done everything that's wrong like that. But God, You still love them. Now, will You save them tonight, Lord? Will You bring that poor, wandering, backslider... no matter if he's setting out, lied and condemned, feels maybe that he's crossed the separating line. No, he hasn't. You're Spirit's still calling. As long as It calls, You're wanting Your wandering child to come home. Won't You grant it tonight, Father, that the Holy Spirit bring conviction in the audience and bring many wandering children to Thee. For we ask it in His Name. With our heads bowed.
