<TITLE>14. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 Dove and Lamb... While you're listening, the most outstanding Scriptures, one of them, that I can think of, when Jesus said, "Father (think of it), Father, for their sake I sanctify Myself." Think of it. "Father, for their sake I sanctify Myself." What was He doing? Setting the example; He was a Lamb. What did He do? He had a right to a home; He was a Man. He had a right to be married; He was a Man. He had a right to good clothes; He was a--a Man. But He sanctified Himself; He forfeited. He could've--He could've come down the corridors of glory, a full statued man, with an Angelic band. Sure. But He sanctified Himself.
He could've at least been born in a nice clean bed somewhere, but He was born in a manger over a manure pile, in a borrowed manger. But He sanctified Himself. Why? He was the Lamb. See, friends, we got to back to assembly line religions and so forth, and all these things we're getting away from the real things. Humble yourself. Keep humble: "Lord, sanctify me."

L-50 Jesus was training some men that was going to take the gospel to all the world, twelve men. So He lived a sanctified life, and forfeited every worldly pleasure for their sake. We ought to forfeit our worldly dressing, and our worldly pleasures, and things like that, for the sake of the people we're trying to lead to God, the outside world. Let the Dove come in tonight. Sanctify yourself, that the Dove of real faith will come in and take His abode.

L-51 Our heavenly Father, this message of Lamb and Dove: how the Lamb, a little innocent fellow has to be led. He doesn't try to use his own thinking. He must be led. He was made that way so a shepherd could lead him.
O God, take all the bigness out of us. Take all the high-headed and the--and the haughty feelings, and the know it all; take it out of us, Lord. All the doubt and discrepancy that's--that's crept in, take it out, Lord. And let the Dove fly down tonight, come into every heart, that we might forfeit our rights, we might forfeit all the things that we feel as American citizens we have the right to. Let's forfeit it, that the Dove might lead us to peace, and goodness, and mercy, and glory of God.

L-52 Father, I yield myself to You tonight for this healing service coming on. Let the Dove fly down, Lord. Let Him come into my heart, into my mouth, into my mind, into my eyes, my voice, and let them out there, Lord, know that It's You. Let Him come into them, and together may He condemn sin, condemn sickness. All the attributes of sin, may it flee tonight. May this church walk out of here tonight as a scoured out, sanctified, filled up, believing church, full of the Holy Ghost, and go forth from this night on, Lord, and a great revival break out through country that we're praying for. May we see souls around the altars again and the revival fires a burning, every church packed, till they have to built new churches, Sunday school rooms put on. O God, grant it tonight, near the coming of the Lord Jesus, for we believe that it's soon at hand. Let us forfeit every thing worldly, that we might find Christ in our lives, be led by His Spirit. Grant it, Lord.
