<TITLE>17. Par 51-52</TITLE>L-51 "Oh, Lord, make me, Oh, God... God bless you, lady. "Make me, oh, to be Your servant. Take all the--the world away from me. I know, Lord, I've listened to things I ought not have listen. The times I've been setting there reading magazines and things, when I ought to have been reading Your Word, the time I was downtown shopping, and gadding around, when I could've been spending in prayer. God, forgive me; I now raise my hand and say, "Be merciful to me. God, give me something." God bless you, sister. "Give me something." God bless you, sister.
"Give me something, oh, Lord, that'll make me a real Christian, like that mother deer was." It was in her. God bless you, brother. It was from right in her. She didn't have to put on nothing. She walked right into the face of death. God bless you, young lady. God bless you, young lady. God bless you, young mother there. God bless you here, lady. Yes. What do you do? He sees you. Certainly. "Make me, oh, Lord. Take me now and mold me. Oh, I been a church member, Lord, for a long time, but never did I ever have anything like that. I can see now what the minister is talking about; it's the genuine. It's what the wise virgin had in her lamp. I've been thinking that I've--that I had that, but my life proves that I haven't. I don't stand as a gallant Christian. I still act like the world. I love the things of the world. I love to enjoy these jokes and things that they crack on these television programs. I enjoy that." If you do, the love of God's not even in you. That's what the Bible said.

L-52 Did you know that Belteshazzar was a jokester, Hollywood fellow just like they are today, like Godfrey and them? Wish I had about two weeks revival here with you. I'd like to bring that out and show you that's in the Scriptures. Do you want Him? Do you really want Him, friend? Be sincere. God bless you, my brother.
No matter how long you've been professing, if it's not in you, why not be honest with God.
Let me tell you, the same Angel of God, that stands here at nighttime is right here now. That's right. He sees you. God bless you, lady. He records your name. You be honest. Don't just raise your hand, say, "Well, I ought to do it, maybe."
Right down in your heart you really mean business with God. Watch what happens as soon as you put your hand up; something comes back into your heart and say, "I'm the Lord. This is My beloved Son; hear ye Him. I'll lead you, child of Mine. I'll make you different. You're life will be different."
You who raised your hands, will you stand up to your feet quietly, just for a moment for a word of prayer? And you who did not raise your hands, would you stand up too? The rest of you keep your head bowed. All that wants to be remembered now, stand up just a minute.
 ... wounded, broken spirit save me by Thy grace.
Saviour, Saviour...
Would you stand up, say, "Lord, You know what I have need of now to become more like You. I've had temper. I've had indifference. I've had jealousy. I've had selfishness. Take it out of me now, Lord. I've going to believe You right now. I haven't had the nerve to stand and tell my boss I was a Christian. I haven't had nerve to stand and tell that person who was criticizing, they were wrong, they should be ashamed of themself. Make me like that, Lord, who can stand as a post of duty as a Christian, like that mother deer could stand as a deer."
If the love of an animal, the love of an animal for its offspring... Oh, my, it... Heavenly Father, think of it, if the love of an animal would make it stand at death for its offspring, what ought the love of God to do to a--a creature of His creation? Will you stand like that deer today, take your spot before the church here?
