<TITLE>15. Par 59-63</TITLE>L-59 Would you stand to your feet just a minute? O God, be merciful. Run people, hurry, hurry, hurry; get to Christ as quick as you can. Get away from these modern walls of this formalism. Get into the middle of God's grace, quickly. All you Baptists, Methodists, Pentecostal, Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, Catholic, all of you, get away from these modern church walls. You feel like you're secure because it's a great church, nothing against it. But brother, unless you are found in His grace, covered with His goodness and His power, what good will it do you?
I feel led to say this just before closing, while we bow our heads just a minute. Recently... No one moving, please.

L-60 Recently, there was a man, about hundred years ago, by the name of Danny Greenfield, modern American evangelist. He dreamed that he died. And when he did, he thought he went up to heaven. He got to the door. And while he was there at the door, the caretaker come out and said, "Who are you approaches this holy place?"
Said, "I'm Danny Greenfield, the American evangelist."
Said, "I'll see, sir, if your name's on the Book." And he looked on the Book. There was no name like that. He went out and said, "Sir, your name's not on this Book. You have to depart from the gate."
He said, "Sir, I'm an evangelist."
Said, "I can't help who you were." Said, "I only take care of these books, and your name is not on the Book."
Said, "What can I do?"
Said, "You might appeal your case to the great white throne judgment."
He said, "If that's all I can do, I'll do it."

L-61 And said, he begin to move through space. And he went faster and faster, and then he begin to slow up when he come into Light. The Light wasn't coming from no certain place. But when he got right in the center of It, he stopped." Said, "Oh, what a place to be." And he heard a great voice, said, "Daniel Greenfield, why comest thou unto My judgment?"
He said, "I was rejected at the gate, and the only thing I could do, Sir, was to appeal my case here to You."
Said, "All right, you'll be judged by My law." He said, "Daniel Greenfield, did you ever tell a lie?"

L-62 He said, "I thought I'd been a truthful man, but I knowed that there'd been some things I told wasn't true." Said, "Yes, Lord, I've lied."
He said, "Did you ever steal, Daniel Greenfield?"
He said, "If anything I thought I'd been, would've been honest. "But said, "In the presence of that Light, I remembered a lot of little deals that I pulled that was shady."
Now look, friend, right now here on earth, the way you feel now, you might think it's all right. But in the presence of that Light someday, there'll be a lot of things that you think is all right now will be shady then.
He said, "Yes, Lord, I stole."
He said, "Daniel Greenfield, My law requires perfection. Was you per--perfect, Daniel Greenfield?"
He said, "No, Lord, I wasn't perfect."
He said he was listening to hear that great voice that would say, "Depart from Me, you horrible person."

L-63 And said he heard then, the sweetest voice he ever heard. No mother's voice is like that one. And he turned to his right side to look; he said he saw the sweetest face he had ever seen. No mother's face looked like that one. And said It walked close to him, put His arm around him, and He said, "Father, it is true that Daniel Greenfield wasn't perfect in his life while he was on earth. But there's one thing that Daniel Greenfield did do when he was on earth; he stood for Me. So here, while he's here, I'll stand for him."
And I wonder tonight, friends, if you're depending on your church to stand for you at that day, or you depending on some little experience you've had to stand for you in that day, who would stand for you? Do you know Him? Would He stand for you? You make your stand for Him now; He will make His stand for you then.
