<TITLE>14. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 Did you ever hear that little song like this? Sister, just continue on your song. It's all right.
 Brother apart from the Saviour today,
 Risking your soul on the things that decay,
 Oh, what if today God should call you away,
 Then what would you give in exchange for your soul?
Listen now close. Every one of you that's not around the altar, search now.
 Then when you stand at the bar by and by,
 And when you're weighed in God's balance on high,
 If you should be sentenced forever to die,
 Then what would you give in exchange for your soul?
Think of it. And that weighing may be in the next half hour for every person in here. How do you know this is not your last opportunity? And don't come unless you really mean it. But if there is the least bit of thirst in your heart... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... got to have You or die.
You see what's gathering around the altar here this afternoon? Probably Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Pentecostal, some no church at all. But there's a thirst there. They're longing. I'm going to wait just a moment longer. Got just a few minutes longer. Just been one hour. I promised to be an hour. Just a little minute longer.

L-53 I want to say something to you now. You want to come on, come right ahead. You've been in these meetings. Now, get all the skeptic feeling away from you. I want you here at the altar now not to depend on any emotion at all, no emotion. I want you to look at just exactly what God said.
Now, listen, I know the Lutheran said, "The just shall live by faith." All right. There's a many of them started out, but they wasn't just.
Methodist said, "Brother when you shout, you've got it." Many of them shouted and didn't have it.
The Pentecost said, "When you speak with tongues, you've got it." Thousands speak with tongues and hasn't got it. Their life proves they haven't got it.
Jesus said, "By their fruits you shall know them." What is the fruits of what? The church?

L-54 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] It's a real sweet feeling in your heart, knowing that you've passed from death unto life, that you're at peace with God, real tender heart that feeds on the things of God, than to have all the... Now, remember, I believe in shouting; I believe in speaking with tongues; I believe in everything God said. I believe in every miracle, every sign. But I would rather have this than all the rest of it put together. Wouldn't you rather have it? I'd rather have that real sweet, mellow Holy Spirit moving into my life and making all the world pass away, than to have all the noise and...
Now, I believe in shouting, sure. I shout and scream myself. That's right. I believe in every gift. I wouldn't be here preaching healing. I believe in all those things. But brother, that isn't it yet. That's not it. These gifts and signs, that's not it. It's Christ in the heart. That's it. Then you'll stay. That's life.
God bless you now. Cards will be give out six o'clock. And now, the Lord bless you. I'm going to turn this service to the pastor while I go to pray to make ready for the healing service tonight. God be with you till we meet.
