<TITLE>23. Par 166-172</TITLE>L-166 Our heavenly Father... Unworthy creatures, this hot, sweaty room this morning, a sweat box; but, God, You sweated it out of us. The Holy Spirit come down, convinced people that they were wrong; they were sinning. Their spirits were arrogant. They become hostile, snoopy, know-it-all, not willing to repent, not willing to forgive people that's done things against them. They wasn't willing to, but today the Holy Spirit took the Word of God, placed It right in their gentle hearts, and said, "Now do you want to come back to where you was the first time you come to the altar, come back to where everybody, you love everybody, and you love Me with undying love? Then just rise up and come up to the altar." They did it, Lord.
And I pray now that You will sanctify their thoughts, Lord; sanctify their heart and make them gentle and peaceful. May they rise from this altar now, after they have repented, giving their lives over to You, go back to their homes. No matter whatever takes place, if husband gets all upset, or wife gets upset, or the neighbor's upset, or somebody that you're working with or associating with, "I'll just be gentle like a dove."

L-168 After all, Your vengeance belongs to You, "I will repay, saith the Lord." How we've found that to be so, Lord. Just stand still; be gentle, see God take--come right down to His lamb. Sure, certainly. This good Shepherd give His Life for us; He come right down to His sheep. And He'll guide them. Woe unto that one that crosses them up. Woe unto that one that says one word against them. Said, "It'd be better that a millstone was hanged at your neck, and drowned in the depths of the sea. Their Angels always beholds My Father's face which is in heaven."...?... O God, we want... "And as You do to them, You do to Me."

L-169 So, God, I want to be gentle. I put myself on the altar too, this morning; not this morning, but every morning and every day. I want to be quiet, and gentle, and like Jesus. Grant it, Father. Help us to be so now, let the fathomless billows of love roll over our soul.
Peace! Peace! Wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above; (Don't you feel It now in our heart?)
... over my spirit forever, (Hallelujah. Hallelujah.)
Peace! Peace! Wonderful peace!

L-170 Sister Gertie said tell all the church she's condemned too, but she's making the piano her altar. Since the altar, the piano's her altar, said, "Tell the church pray for me," as she sets there and the tears running down on her glasses. This pulpit is my altar. I've repented too, my Bible wet. O God... Peace, peace of God...
Coming down from the Father above; (Oh, hallelujah)
... over my spirit forever...
God, if I've sinned against anybody, against You, take it away, Lord. Take the sin away from my little church this morning.

L-172 How many can just feel that God's forgive you, and the Dove of Peace will--sets on your heart again? She flew back just now took up Her place. The Holy Spirit just moved back and said, "Child of mine, I've been wanting to love you all the time. You just wouldn't let Me do it. I can't dwell with your old selfish spirit. But now that you've surrendered it, I've come back to your heart this morning." How many feels that way, raise up your hand? Raise up your hand (That's right.), all along the altar. Oh, that's fine. How many out in the audience feels that way? Raise up your hand. Oh... ("To Be Like Jesus.")
