<TITLE>17. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 It's your decision. Only thing I can do is preach the Word. The Holy Spirit brought It. What do you want to do about It? Can you accept It or is your ear sealed tight? "Oh, well, I've heard that before. I'll... Some other time." O God, be merciful to you, my lost brother. And not knowing before you leave that door your heart may stop, not knowing that you'll ever be in another Gospel meeting, and would you set there, my brother, sister, in that state and not be willing to say, "Christ, be merciful to me; I've been wrong; You forgive me; I want to start new today"?
Just about six or eight hands has went up. Would there be another before close, before I have prayer? I'm going to pray with you. Then we're going to pray for the sick. All right. Let's keep out heads bowed.

L-54 Dear God, just as a poet wrote, "There is a fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins." We realize that the Kingdom of God is not in what we eat or drink or wearing of apparel. We realize that, God, that we don't stop this and stop wearing this and that to make us different. But when the Spirit of Christ comes in, It does that itself. It's not what we do, but what He does, what He does.
God, I know this has been very hard, been very cutting. And I know the Gospel is, You said, "Sharper that a two-edged sword, going to the marrow of the bones and a discerner of the spirit." And I pray, Father, that these who were convicted... Eight or ten people here in this building raised up their hand to know that they were in the wrong. Their lives doesn't cope up to Your Word. And they raised their hands to be remembered in prayer. And I pray Thee, heavenly Father, this very day that You will sanctify their heart from all the things of the world, that Your Spirit may come into their life, and there give them grace. And may the newborn babe, Christ, be definite proof to the whole world as a written epistle read of all men.

L-55 How, Father, could a woman that says she is a Christian dress to meet men. Only one did that, Father, in Your Word and that was Jezebel. You fed her to the dogs, and give her an example of what a horrible creature she was. And how the little old Herodias danced with her little striptease clothes on before her foster father. What a society dance that was. And knowing history, that seventy-two of her children following her through the generations died on gallouses, and prostitutes. What an example.
Dear John with his head laying on the platter, testifies to the earth today that there is righteousness in God.
Let it be so today, God, with each one here that's out of Christ. Bring them to a realization, Father, that these words are not falsely; they're Your Word, and that the Bible is true, and the hour is close at hand.
Give grace and mercy to those who are seeking. We ask in Christ's Name. Amen.

L-56 Let's once together now, slowly, "There Is a Fountain Filled With Blood." Right after the healing service, I want each person that raised their hand to come to the altar, personally, kneel down and pray.
"Raising your hands. Does that do anything?" Yes, sir. It certainly does.
"He that hearth My words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life." That makes you a new creature. Now, I don't mean just imagine; I mean do it. And your fruits will prove it. Then after you've did that, then by one Spirit we're baptized into the Body of power and service.
He never said you'll receive new birth after the Holy Ghost come upon you. Said, "You shall receive power after the Holy Ghost come upon you," a different thing altogether: not new birth, but new power. You're borned again by believing. You believe to Eternal Life. But you're baptized with the Holy Ghost until power, power for service. All right, all together.
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel's veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains,
Lose all their guilty...
