<TITLE>16. Par 172-178</TITLE>L-172 God bless you, friend. If you don't know that... Don't pay no attention to who's bringing this message, but pay attention to what the message means. See? It's to you that's outside of Christ. If you don't know Him in the power of His resurrection, if you just... Don't take mental conceptions of it. Don't talk about your theology or your intellectual faith. If something hasn't witnessed in your heart, and your heart's been dumped out and become an empty tomb (Hallelujah.) to the old dead things of the world, and Christ has raised anew in your heart... O God, this morning roll away the stone of doubt. Take it away. And may He rise today in your heart and make you a new creature. And I believe that He will come on the scene in a few minutes and will do the same things that He did when He was here on earth.
Shall we pray, while we bow our heads.

L-175 Our heavenly Father, it's getting late. The hour is far spent. But it was at the spending of the hour when You appeared. We thank Thee for Thy Divine Word. We thank Thee for this Gospel which we preach and believe. We thank Thee for this Gospel which Thou has a vindicated to be the truth.
And now, Lord Jesus, speak to lost souls. Many people here, Lord, who love You, but they really have never accepted You. You walk with them daily. It's You that kept them from being killed that time in the accident. It was You that kept the storm from blowing the house away that day and that night. It was You that come to them in the time of trouble. It was You that give them the job when they didn't have any. It was You that comforted their hearts when their loved ones went to the grave. You've walked with them, but yet, they don't know You. God, grant today that every person here that's outside of Christ will do like Cleopas and his friend did, "Come and abide with us. The day of my life is well spent. Come in now and make Your way."

L-178 While we have our heads bowed, anywhere inside or out, is there a person here would say by an uplifted hand to God, not to your brother, but to God, "Oh, something's happened in my heart this morning. I--I know that there's something taking place in my heart. I--I'll never be the same. I believe something has happened since I've come in this building this morning. I now accept Christ in my heart as my Saviour. I want to raise up my hands to God, and say, 'God, here I am. This is all I can do is raise my hand to tell You I believe You.'" Will you raise your hand? God bless you, sir. That's right. Anyone else, would raise your hand, say, "I now accept Him." God bless you, lady. That's fine. Someone else?
As you raise your hand, God promised to give you Everlasting Life. "He that heareth My words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life, shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death to Life."
Will you raise your hand now, saying, "Lord, I believe." No one looking, just the Lord Jesus and I, if you please. Just raise your hand, say, "I now accept Him as my Saviour." Would you raise... God bless you, you, you, you. Oh, that's fine, just scores of hands. God bless you. That's fine.
What does it do to you? Gives you life. You raised your hand to the Master, say, "I believe it."
Jesus said, "He that believeth shall never be condemned... passed from death unto Life." Right now you have Everlasting Life. Aren't you happy about it?
