<TITLE>19. Par 54-56</TITLE>L-54 Say, "What difference does that make about...?" God bless you, down through these aisles. I see you. Just keep raising your hand. God sees every one of you. "I'll make my stand."
When you raise your hand, what does it do? It signifies to God, the depths of your heart cries out for mercy. "As the hart painted for the water brook, my soul thirsts after Thee, Oh, God." "I now will take my stand, eternal and righteous God. I'll do everything that there is within my power to serve You the rest of my days. I'll be like the queen of the south; I'll make my stand right here by raising my hands in the presence of this audience. I'll stand for You."
Would there be some more, just before closing, that hasn't raised their hand, and want to be remembered in this prayer? God bless you up there, young lady. Yeah. Teen-age, that's good sister, greatest thing you ever done. God bless you here, sister, dear. Yes, you're just at that changing of life now.
God bless you, back there, dad, with your hands up. He sees you. Certainly, He does. "I boldly take my stand now for Jesus in the hour of my death..." God bless you way back in the back, brother, He sees your hand. Certainly, and your name goes on the Book, and there's not enough smut in hell to cover it over. That's right. It's wrote by the Blood of Jesus Christ. "He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath (present tense) Eternal Life, and shall never come to the condemnation, but pass from death unto life." Have faith in God.

L-55 All right, you that raised your hands, be ready for prayer. Now, accept Jesus. Immediately after the healing service, I want to see you up here give thanks to God. If you really meant it from your heart, when you raised your hand, I'll assure you by the promise of God, that your name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life, and Jesus stands for you. If you meant it, "He that heareth My Word and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath Everlasting Life (What is Everlasting Life? Eternal Life, the Holy Spirit.), and shall never come into condemnation, but pass from death unto life.
Father, God, You seen their hands. Before one thing has been performed, these people, upon the Word alone, has come and raised their hands, many of them. They've accepted You as their Saviour. Thank you for them, Father, they're the trophies of the message, though come from a nervous person, chopped up, but yet God took it, and planted it into hearts of... Two or three hundred has raised their hands.

L-56 Eternal God, I pray that Your blessings rest upon them. May they have Life Everlasting just now. Fill them with the Holy Ghost. Never turn them away, Lord, and I know You won't. You said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first. All that comes shall have the Everlasting Life, and I'll raise him up at the last day." And they are given to Jesus as love gifts from His Father. Who can pluck them from the hand? No one.
I pray, Father, now, that you'll keep them by Your grace until that great day, which may be tomorrow, that they'll have to stand in the presence of God. No matter what they'd ever done: they could be so true; they could be so loyal; they could dress so decent, act so nice, and join every church, and be lost. Nothing in our hands we bring. There's nothing we could do would merit anything. We just trust in Your grace. And when we do that, then our life is changed and bears fruits of Christ.
Grant it, Lord, I present them to You now. Keep them, Father, I pray. And if I never shake their hand on this earth, may I be privileged to it at that day, when we cross over the river. For I asked it in, Jesus' Name. Amen.
