<TITLE>35. Par 292-299</TITLE>L-292 Oh, let me--let me stay close to Thee, Jesus. Don't turn me from Thy dear side, see Thy five wounds a-bleeding. O Prince of heaven, how He died, died for me, died that I might, a condemned... In the chains of sin, in the prison house of hell, condemned, guilty, going away to be destroyed forever, and somebody took my place. And then they...?... out here when I was--was about eighteen, twenty years old, one day the Holy Spirit... I said, "Well, who am I? Where'd I come from? Where am I going?"
He said, "He took your place; you were going there. He took your place; there He is."
I said, "O Lamb of God, O Lamb of God, I come, I come. Nothing in my arms I bring; I have nothing to offer You, Lord, just simply to Thy cross I cling; that's all I got." And He took me in. He clothed me like the father with the prodigal son, put a new garment upon me, the garment, not of mine, His garment of His righteousness He put upon me; and a wedding ring upon my finger, that I'll be with the Bride that day. Now, the fatted calf has been killed, and we're rejoicing because I was once dead and now I'm alive; I was once lost and now I'm found.
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me! (A worse than Barabbas)
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
I was blind, but now I see.
It was grace that taught my heart to fear,
It was grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun; (No more stars, the Son)
We'll have no less days to sing His praise
Than when we first begun. (We're in eternity then.)
Oh, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me. Oh, how wonderful.

L-296 Turn with me now to Exodus, will you? 21st chapter. The exhortations of His Spirit... Now we're going to speak now of how to receive... I showed you, and telling you the results; there it is.
Now, how do you receive the mark of the beast? And I'll show you what your doom is there. Now, the mark of the beast, Exodus the 21st chapter. Taking it out of the Old Testament so that you can see. Over here also in the New Testament I have plenty Scriptures laying here that we all know. Now, let's read.
Now, these are the judgments which thou shall set before them.
If thou buy a Hebrew servant,... (Now, remember, now, it's a Hebrew; that's a believer. See?)... a Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing.
If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he was married, then his wife shall go out with him.
If his master give him a wife,... she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out... himself.

L-299 I'm not going to... I--I--I know my time's gone. Excuse me, Brother Neville, but I--I got to sink this in, brother.
Look here. It ain't what your mother is, what your father is; it's you, not your wife. See, his wife didn't count; his children didn't count. It's him. No matter... Your mother might've been a saint; your father might've been a saint; so was Esau's father and mother, but he was a roustabout. See? But... See? But it's an individual affair with you.
Say, "My father's a preacher." That don't have nothing to do with you. "My mother's a godly woman. Oh, she's in heaven." That might be right, but what about you? It's you.
