<TITLE>22. Par 69-70</TITLE>L-69 About two years later, I was down there with my old friend, Brother Morrison, the Baptist church, to have another meeting. And when I did, I walked down the street. And she was a nice young lady. She was walking down the street (it's been twenty-five years ago, and her underneath skirts hanging low. Oh, how foul she looked. I thought, "That can't be that deacon's daughter.") And she spied me. She kinda smiled and turned her head sideways. I walked over close to her.
She said, "Hello, preacher."
I said, "How do you do?"
She stood there on the corner a little bit, said, "Come go with me to my room?"
I said, "Thank you, I'm kind of a bit... hurry."
She reached in her pocketbook and said, "Have a cigarette?"
I said, "Now, aren't you ashamed to say that?"
She said, "Maybe you'd take a drink with me. I will pay for it if you'll take it."
I said, "Shame on you, lady. Wouldn't you be ashamed to ask a servant of Christ a thing like that?" I started to walk away. I said, "I will be praying for you."
She said, "Just a minute. There's no need."
I said, "Why?"
She said, "You remember that night standing there by that rosebush, by the side of that Baptist church?"
And I said, "Yes."
She said, "My father's still deacon there." Said, "You can tell this wherever you go to, wherever you go, if you want to." She said, "That was my last call." She said, "You know, since that time," said, "I used to always feel a calling in my heart to come to God." She said, "But since that time," she said, "I've got harder and harder."
Now, this is the statement the girl made. She said, "My heart is so hard against God, and against the church, and everything," said, "I could see my own mother's soul fry in hell like a pancake and laugh at it." See?

L-70 Now, He's merciful to you. He knocked at your heart, and you raised up your hand. "Yes, Lord, I'm wrong." That was the Father. Now, will you confess Him enough... would you just stand up to your feet? I won't ask you to do nothing else, just stand to your feet so the people can see that that was God knocked at your heart? Now, remember, real true children," God knocked at my heart. I want to stand to my feet, just let the people know." God bless you, sir. God bless you, young man. Someone else stand up. That's right.
All right now. "I now believe." Just stand up just a moment, just a moment. Please, just stand up just a moment, every one. That's fine. Would there be another want to stand just at this time, say, "He knocked at my heart. Never raised my hand, but I'm going to stand for Him right now. I will stand right now. I believe I will stand for Him right now, because He knocked at my heart. I never want my heart to get in that bad condition like that. While it's tender, I will raise."
