<TITLE>23. Par 56-58</TITLE>L-56 Let us pray. Heavenly Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus, Thy beloved Son, Lord, we believe this old story with all that is within us. Our hearts, souls, and body believe this story, that You are the Son of God, the resurrected One. Ages may roll on; skeptics may rise; demons may fight. They may possess people. But yet, You'll remain God through the ceaseless ages. You'll always be God. Now, I pray, God, that You'll save every lost person here tonight. Heal all the sick that's here tonight. Call back the backsliders, Lord, to the Church of the living God. Grant it, Lord, for the glory of God, we ask it in Christ's Name.
With our heads bowed, I wonder in this vast audience just now, before we start the prayer line, is there any sinner here, that's seen the great works of God this week, that's here tonight and outside of God... My Christians friends, pray like you never prayed before. And if you're here tonight, sinner, would you raise your hands to the Almighty God, and say, "God, be merciful to me a sinner." Would you raise your hands? God bless you everywhere. That's right. Raise your hands everywhere. Just scores of people, raising their hands, all around.
Think of old blind Fanny Crosby. She said.
Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
Hear my humble cry;
While on others Thou art calling,
Do not pass me by.
Thou the Stream of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Whom in heaven but Thee?

L-57 Every man or woman that ever amounted to a hill of beans in this world, was men and women who trusted God and believed that Jesus was the Son of God. They believed this old Gospel story.
I can see Eddie Perronet there when he was persecuted by men. He couldn't sell his music to nobody. Nobody wanted him. One day, in his office, after being persecuted and run back, he picked up the pen, and the Holy Ghost grabbed his pen, and he wrote the inauguration song of the second coming of Jesus. When he said,
All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
 And crown Him Lord of all.
And other one wrote, oh, my. What we seen great poets, and authors, and prophets, and ministers through the age. May God have mercy. Is somebody here without the Holy Ghost tonight just living a halfway life, and would like to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, would you raise your hands, not to your brother, but to your Maker? Say, "Remember me, God. Be merciful."
Remember, there's a recording Angel taking every hand down. He knows just exactly who you are. No matter whether I see you, your neighbor sees, we're not asking for your neighbor to see. I'm asking for you to look to God, the Lamb of God, to take away the sins of the world.

L-58 Our heavenly Father, Thou doest see the hands up. And, Lord, at the close of this healing service, may every one of them come forward, Lord, stand around an old fashion altar here and pray. Many of them boys and girls out there, that's raised their hand. Maybe an old mother and dad's done gone on years ago. Their prayers are still on the altar of God, and the Angels of God are gathered tonight here to answer that mother's prayer.
God, grant that they'll receive Jesus tonight as Saviour. If there's a lukewarm church member here, Lord, that only goes to church, not knowing what it means to be borned again, never received the Holy Spirit, as Paul said to the ones up in Acts the 19th chapter, said, "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
God, grant tonight that the Holy Spirit will pour upon them and they'll go back to their church, afire for God. Grant it, Lord. Cause an old fashion revival to break from this, Lord, in every church through the country. We know You're coming soon. Tomorrow, Lord, on our road, way over across the seas, the stormy weathers, down into the places where Thou has command us, 'Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.'"...
