<TITLE>18. Par 62-66</TITLE>L-62 Is there a sinner friend here tonight that would walk up and say, "God, now I'm coming to give my life too." I want to get every sinner that's in here. Is there a sinner would raise your hand, say, "Pray for me, brother. I haven't got courage to come, but I want you to pray." There's many standing around the altar raising their hands, sinners who's come to give their lives to Christ. Someone back in the audience yet, a sinner? About two-thirds of the people is around the altar. Will you come?
Let's sing "Just As I Am," if you will, my brother. All right, somebody.
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy Blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd'est me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come. I come.

L-63 Now, my beloved friend, here you are standing here at the altar of God tonight.
One time there was some lepers laid before the gate of Samaria. They were besieged by the Syrians. And on the inside there was nothing to eat. They were eating one another's children because they had sinned and turned from God. The Syrian army had them backed off here. They couldn't go that way. If they did, they died. And they couldn't stay here any longer, 'cause they were going to die.
They only had one hope; that was go down to the camp of the Syrians. If they saved them, they'd live. If they didn't, they was going to die anyhow.
So they turned and started towards the camp of the Syrians, the enemy. And God rewarded them, caused a great rumble to come on the desert, and run all the Syrians away. They didn't only save themselves, they saved the whole city.
Now, tonight many of you sitting here are Pentecostal people that's had the great experience of speaking in tongues, the baptism and so forth, but have never yet come into that consecrated life. You still have a place there. See, you're eating manna. I'll go into it in more details tomorrow night 'cause I'm dealing easy on it, because I realize the grounds I'm standing on.

L-64 But now... See, you're coming up to a place. Now, you realize there's a hidden place in Christ where you can be hid, that all your enemies, you'll love them. There's something about it, that you want people to love you; you want to be lovely. And if you want people to be lovely, you have to be lovely yourself. And you can't be... If you put it on, it just won't work. It won't. They know it. You can't put anything on. Don't make believe.
That's what's the matter with our country today. There's too much make-believe, and just religious works. There's too many people making believe, trying to impersonate Christianity, trying to do something to act like Christians. That won't work, friend. God knows that; the devil knows it; and the people knows it. You've got to be genuine. You've got to be original. God will honor it.
You may not grow like a mushroom, but I'd rather be an oak any time than a mushroom. Come easy. Come slow. Get your roots grounded and fastened right, then you can come on.

L-65 Now, tonight as your brother and your servant in the Lord Jesus, let me ask you something. Do this to yourself and mean it. Come to the Lord Jesus and say, "God, You know what my fault is. You know I have these little things I have to battle every day, and I have a hard time of doing it. That's why I'm standing here."
You sinners that's never come to Christ before, come to Him, say, "Lord, here I am. I'm Aaron's old rod. I'm no good; but Lord I'm going to lay right at Your feet tonight." Watch how the blossoms begin to come out. Watch how the fruits begin to yield.

L-66 Now, really mean it from the bottom of your heart, and God will take each one of you tonight right into His Kingdom, consecrate your lives. It might happen right at this present time. I believe it will.
I'm not a person... I'm not emotional; I'm not a worked up affair. I believe in real solid, sane, Holy Ghost religion. That's right. This is just pure and holy. That's true, brother. And that's what I'm here to teach. That's what I'm here to introduce.
