<TITLE>13. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 While dozens of hands has been up, realizing that you're wrong, God is with you or you would never raise your hand. Now, I wonder if you that raised your hand, would just stand for a moment for a word of prayer. Let everybody keep their head bowed. Just stand up to your feet, just a moment for a word of prayer. If you really meant it, raise up now your feet. That's right; that's right. Just getting up everywhere, all over the place... Stand up just a moment for a word of prayer. "If you witness Me before men, him will I witness before the Father."
It's nothing to be ashamed of. "If you're ashamed of Me here, I'll be ashamed of you before the Father and the holy Angels." And let me say this as His servant, "Jesus Christ is here." If He don't manifest Himself tonight in the same measure He did when He was here on, I'm a false prophet, and I'm found a false witness. But if He does, I've told the truth, and God wrote the right thing, and this is the Word of God Who declares it will be.

L-44 Would there be another before we pray, stand to your feet? I don't want you to join any church. You can join the church you want to. I want you to accept Christ and be real in your heart, real. Let the Holy Spirit while It's here, speak to you. If you're a member of a church, go back to your own church. That's all right. We just want you to be a Christian, really in your heart. While you remain standing, let us pray. Now, just confess all your faults, just now, for He knows your weakness.
Lord God, as our mind goes back just now, to that hour when that hunter was convinced that there was something real in the world, he'd only seen the false. He'd only seen the put-on, but he come in contact, being a hunter, with a wild animal, a creature of God, who could display something that was real.

L-45 By the simple message of the Gospel, these people tonight, before anything has been done, they're convinced by the Presence of the Holy Spirit, that they're wrong, and they're standing to accept You. Now, I can only quote Your Word. You said, "He that heareth My Word and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Eternal Life and shall never come to the judgment, but's passed from death unto Life." That's Your own Word, Lord. And again You said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first."
Then how present is God? People standing to their feet, convinced; some of them may be staunch church members. But they're not ashamed to stand to their feet. Something has strangely warned their hearts. It was God the Father fulfilling His Word. Jesus' Word being fulfilled, which said, "No man can come except the Father draws Him. And all the Father gives Me, they're Mine. No man can pluck them from My hand. And I'll raise them up at the last day."
Here they are Lord, the Word has been preached; the Holy Spirit has drawed; men and women are on their feet as a testimony that they love You, and believe You, and want You to come in a deep settled peace to their heart, and make them gallant Christians. I present them to You now, Lord, as trophies of the grace of Your Son Jesus. And may You keep them and fill them with Your Spirit and may their life bear fruits of a real Christian. And as displaying such, may they win others. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-46 Now, to those who are standing up, when they set down, you who are next to them who are Christians, shake their hands and give them the right-hand of fellowship. And the ministers might take them to their churches. And you can be seated now, you who were standing. And God give unto you that what you have desired.
Oh, I love Him. Isn't He wonderful. I love to see that. Reach over and shake hands with them. That's right. If you're a real Christian you want to do it. You want to show them welcome to this great family. I see others getting up, reaching around, shaking hands. God bless you. That's right; that's right. You've done the right thing.
