<TITLE>34. Par 314-320</TITLE>L-314 I offer my prayer for you now as we bow our heads. Our heavenly Father, they are the trophies of Your Presence. They know that these Words are true because they are Yours. They know that they have been given by the Holy Spirit, because they are the Word of God. And they have been convinced that they need You, that they need sweetness of the Holy Spirit in their life to give them overcoming power. And they will receive power from on high, receive the power to live a Christian life, to receive power to overcome temptation. As the song we was just singing, "They gathered in the upper room and was praying in His Name, they were baptized with the Holy Ghost and power for service came." That's what they want, power for service to come upon them.
I pray Thee, Father, as Your servant, as You seen them raising their hands... They have made a pledge to You and a promise that they shall never cease; they'll not lay it aside, but they will pray until You fill them, Lord, to a satisfying portion of Thy holy Presence in their life. I offer my prayer in their behalf, Lord, as Your servant, that they will be filled with the holy Ghost. Lord, I pray that they'll not leave this church until that happens, that they'll be right here until each soul is filled with the Holy Ghost. Grant it, Lord.

L-316 Thou art God, the Almighty; You was manifested in the flesh to take away the sins of the world. You arose on the third day, ascended on high. And You're here tonight in amongst us, and in the Name of the Holy Spirit. And we pray, Father, that You, our precious Lord, will fill each one of them with Your own Self. And may they be a--a blessing to Your Kingdom and in the world that is to come. And one day when You finally reach the end of the road, that may be today yet, we don't know when it'll be. But may I be able, Lord, be counted among those who goes in the rapture. May these be the ones that go in the rapture. May every person in Divine Presence and all that's filled with the Spirit, that belongs to God, go in the rapture.
Take these in tonight, Father. They are Yours now. I commit them to Thee, in the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

L-318 Now, I want the rest of you that's standing by these people, that has the Holy Spirit, raise up, lay your hands on them.
... a fountain filled with blood,
Drawn from Immanuel's veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stain.
Lose all their guilty stain,
Lose all their guilty stain;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stain.
The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
Wash all my sins away,
Wash all my sins away;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all my sins away.

L-319 Now, raise up your hands to God and just give Him praise; say, "Thank You, Lord. I raise to my feet; I give You praise. I thank You for Your blessings, for Your goodness, and for giving me the baptism of the Holy Ghost." Thank You, Lord. Thank You, Lord. Thanking You, dear God, for giving us... You keep Your promise. You said so. We believe You. Thank You, Jesus.

L-320 Aren't you happy? Say, "Praise the Lord." Teddy, let me sing one more, "We find many people who can't understand, This Is Like heaven To Me."
We find many people who can't understand
Why we are so happy and free;
We've crossed over Jordan to Canaan's fair land,
And this is like heaven to me.
Oh, this is like heaven to me,
Oh, this is like heaven to me;
Well, we've crossed over Jordan to Canaan's fair land,
And this is like heaven to me.
Oh, when I get happy, I sing and I shout,
The devil don't believe it, I see;
But I'm filled with the Spirit, there isn't a doubt,
And that's what's the matter with me.
Oh, that's what's the matter with me, (Praise God.)
Oh, this is like heaven to me;
I've crossed over Jordan to Canaan's fair land,
And this is like heaven to me.
