<TITLE>17. Par 53-54</TITLE>L-53 But this man must've come in a window. He slipped in. Now, look. And when the king, the bridegroom said to him, "Friend, how did you get in?"
That showed there'd been some good old fashioned Holy Ghost preachers down on the ground. For he stood speechless. He had set maybe in the Chicago meeting. See? He knowed better, and he knowed before God he couldn't say, "I never heard about it." For he'd been in some Holy Ghost meetings. He had seen the lame healed, the blind, and seen the great miracles of God, so he stood speechless.
And what did God say do with that man? "Bind him hand and foot... out--outer darkness where there'll be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth."
Suit yourself, friend. That's the Gospel. That's Jesus Christ's own Word. It was only a parable; it was a prophecy. And it'll be that way someday. So tonight while the gates are open, and the water's are flowing free, and everything is ready, and the Father knocks at your heart and says, "Son, you've been playing church long enough; it's time for you to get right." I'd advise you to go to the door and get a robe on and come to the supper. Shall we pray.

L-54 Dear Lord, nothing thrills our heart more than hearing Your Word. "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of Thy Word." I pray Thee, God, that this revival that's going on now, or this convention will turn into an old fashion Holy Ghost revival in the coming week, coming days, rather. I pray that You'll send down such anointed blessings upon the people, till the lame and the blind and the withered and the halt and maimed shall be healed, and that many that are laying in the waysides, and on the streets today, will be brought in, and not only healed physically, but be given an invitation to come to the wedding supper and receive a robe. Grant it, Father. Bless...
And if there be any of those types here tonight, Father, may they now know that You're knocking at their door, the heart's door, the very gate of the soul. And I pray, Father, that if there's any here in that condition, that has never come to Thee and been borned again and never received the Holy Spirit, I pray, Father, that You'll put conviction on their heart at this moment and they will reverently raise their hand to Thee and say, "By this, Lord, I know that I am wrong, and I want You to have mercy upon me, and give me the robe of the righteousness of the Son of God."
For, Lord Jesus, setting before us is a great dark door to every mortal here tonight and in the world; it's called the door of death. Every time our heart beats, we get one step closer to that door. Someday we have to go in. O God, speaking for myself, Lord, I want to go to that door with this one thing: I want to wrap myself in the robes of His righteousness, by this assurance that I know Him in the power of His resurrection, that when He calls, He will call me from among the dead.
Dear God, grant solemnly tonight, that desire of every heart, as we know that we don't know how many more beats we got before we meet eternity. Give that desire in every heart, and may they express the same as I ask them to raise their hand.
