<TITLE>09. Par 36-39</TITLE>L-36 Let us bow our heads just a moment. Blessed Lord, oh, we see the shadows falling; the hour is swiftly approaching. Yonder in Russia tonight is a bunch of missiles hanging. Only just one drink of vodka and we would go into powder. And it's in the hands of sinful men. And You said in the Bible, "As it was in the days of Noah and Lot, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man. They were eating, marrying, building, drinking, giving in marriage, building houses, marrying wives," and a very day like this. And we see the shadows hanging yonder. It could happen before morning. Just one touch of a trigger and we would be no more. And it wouldn't, not in any way, take the Scriptures out of order. And then if that is so close, yet, we know that before the rain could ever fall, Noah went in the ark. And before fire ever fell in Sodom, Lot went out. And if the end time is so close to destruction, how close is the coming of the Son of God for His church? How should we conduct ourselves, Lord? As slothful, educated, scholarly, or should we be men and women of faith with the attributes of our Father?

L-37 O eternal God, You said in Your Scriptures that when the Son of man shall reveal Himself from heaven in the last day... I truly believe that You're now revealing Yourself from heaven to the church in mercy and peace. And the next time You reveal Yourself will be in judgment upon those who's rejected. God, may we tonight take our stand, our position in Christ, there like men and women of God, sons and daughters of the Creator, Who just spoke and the world came into existence. God, we call ourselves Christians and can't even believe for a little healings, what You've promised to give us. God, forgive us of our stupidity. May we rise tonight like real men and women, sons and daughters of God, and go forth in earth conducting ourselves in like manner.

L-38 While we have our heads bowed just a moment, I just wonder if there's one in here tonight would raise up your hands to God, and say this, "God, I haven't been conducting my life like a son or daughter of God. Oh, I've been so curious and so slothful about things, and I--I want you to forgive me for it. I'm going to put up my hand to You tonight, and say God, 'If You'll forgive me, and then from tonight on, I'll, by Your grace, I'm going to conduct myself like a real believer.'"?
God bless you. God bless you. That's right. All over the building. Is there a sinner in here (Now, with your heads bowed, every one...) would raise your hand to God, say "God, be merciful to me. I don't want to die in this shape." God bless you, sir. God bless you. Yes, that's right, you, you, and you, you. God bless you, sir. That's right. Back there, you, you, you. Oh, my, everywhere, sinners. Oh, that's right. We haven't room for--to bring you up around the altar, but God will hear you right where you are.

L-39 What's happened? Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first." Then God the Father is here drawing sinners to Him, knocking at the door. "All that comes to Me I will give them Everlasting Life and will raise him up at the last day."
