<TITLE>48. Par -</TITLE>L-585-465 What if they had come to the altar and Brother Neville was still in his sermon, and he was preaching? I'd have went to the altar with the man, if he'd have got up out of the meeting while he was preaching, went up to the altar. I'd have seen my brother was--that he had the anointing of the Spirit. He was ministering. He was a minister in the... He was in the line of duty, a minister in the line of duty.
And you should never let them speak with tongues, interrupt, or any way, a minister in the line of duty. Yes, if the Holy Spirit's speaking to somebody and they run to the altar to get saved, let the minister continue on with his line of duty; let a pastor, deacon, associate, if there's an associate or any other minister, let him take to that person right quick. And don't bother the minister in the line of duty. See?

L-586-467 And I was standing behind the desk in a line of duty, giving communion. And my associate, Brother Neville, was standing by me. And a man run up to the altar, I said, "Get, go down to him, Brother Neville." And Brother Neville went down to him. That's the reason I didn't go.
Now, if there'd been no associate here, or nothing else to have went to the man, I'd have stepped off and stopped the communion, and went down and--and seen that soul was saved. You see? But being that there was somebody to send, it would've pulled me from the line of duty (You see?) where I was serving communion.

L-586-Q-129  129. What all can a person do... What all can a person do as a personal worker in dealing with a person seeking the Holy Ghost, and staying Scriptural?
All right. Just keep quoting the Word to him, is the best thing to do. The Word has the Light. Just say, "Brother, Jesus promised It. Remember, it is His promise."
Don't shake him, push him, or move him around, or something. Just don't try to drill... No, don't you try to give It to him, 'cause you can't do it. See, see? You... God will give It to him. You just keep quoting the promises over. See? Keep standing there quoting the promise. "God in heaven, I pray for my brother. Your promise is You'll give him the Holy Spirit."
Then if you're trying to encourage him... He's saying, "Oh, brother, pastor, brother," ever who it is around him, "I--I want the Holy Spirit."
"Brother, It's a promise. God made the promise. Do you believe He's promised? Now, don't doubt It. If you believe the promise, the Holy Spirit will come to you just at any moment now. Be expecting It. Surrender everything you got to Him, and say, 'Lord, I'm standing on Your promise.'"
Now, keep quoting. Now, make your--your--your--your subject (See?) make him quit... Keep quoting. Say now, "You tell God. Now, have you repented?"
"Yes."
"Now, say, 'Lord, You said if I would repent You were just to forgive me. You say if I repent and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my sins, I would receive the Holy Ghost. Now, Lord, I've done that. I've done that, Lord. I have did it. I'm waiting, Lord. You promised it.'"
See, that's the way, just keep encouraging him. Keep him right on the Word. If It's ever going to come It'll come then.
