<TITLE>13. Par 42-44</TITLE>L-42 Will you raise your hand, one that hasn't? Say, "Remember me, God; I now raise my hand to Thee. I know You're revealing to me my wrongs and my sins now. You know my heart. I want You to go home with me from this meeting this morning and live with me, go in my business office. I want to go back and tell all my employees that I'm a changed man. I met Someone down to the breakfast."
"What breakfast?"
"Oh, down where the Christian Businessmen was having a meeting. I was setting at a table, and all of a sudden Something spoke to my heart; my sins stood out like mountains before me. In a low voice I whispered, 'God, forgive me.' It all cleared away, and peace come to my troubled soul. I believe I'll rest tonight. I have peace like the river. And I want you employees to know that I'm going to be a different man now."

L-43 "Go home and see wife and say, 'Wife, your prayer been answered; I met Jesus this morning. I heard He's going to pass that way; I never did think He'd come that way. But I was just setting there, and all at once something struck me. It could only be Him. I've been hard-hearted, I've been indifferent. Oh, I've been a church member, sure, but something happened. He come home with me, wife. I'm going to treat you different from now on. You watch and see if I don't. I'm going to be different to the children too; I'll never drink no more. I don't know why, but I--I've tried to turn new pages, but something's happened to me. I'm going to be different now."
"Oh, I--I professed to be a Christian; I've carried on, and used bad language, and went to--out into worldly things, and to movies, and bioscopes, and I've watched vulgar programs. I cracked dirty jokes, taken social drinks with my competitors and things; but I'll never do it again. Something happened; Jesus come home with me."

L-44 Don't you want to do that? Is there another? There's been four or five raised their hands, is there another would say that? "By God's grace, I now take Jesus to go home with me; I'm the Zacchaeus. Yes, oh, I belong to church like Zacchaeus did. I thought I was as right as Zacchaeus." Zacchaeus thought he was right, but he was wrong until he come in Presence with Jesus. That's Him talking to you; slide down out of the tree now. God bless you. That's right; that's good. Are you sure now that He hasn't spoke to you?
Blessed Lord, "No man can come to Me," saith the Lord, "except My Father draws him first." God, You knocked at the heart of the door, four or five people in this room this morning; You know their hearts; You spoke to them; You know them. God, may from this hour on, may they live so godly, may they go home... May they go to their place of business, these men that raised their hand. These women that raised their hands, may they go as a changed person; may their influence be great in the city where they live. May You bless them and prosper them in whatever they do. If they're in business, grant that their business will grow and be greater. They got a new partner this morning, the King of kings.
