<TITLE>25. Par 72-75</TITLE>L-72 Now, Father, I pray that You'll give them courage to let them know that that Spirit that was near them, saying, "Child, you're wrong. You should receive Me tonight. I'll stop in My great busy schedule and turn around and say, 'Thy sins are forgiven thee. Go and sin no more.'" As you have said so many times, You have said it to them tonight, because they've made their decision.
Now, Father God, I pray that You won't let one of them... I don't believe that they raised their hands just for the saying of raising their hands. I believe they were sincere; they really meant it. And now I commit them to You, and ask that You forgive all their sins. I'm interceding for them with all my heart, that You will forgive them their sin, every sinner in here, that You forgive all their sins.

L-73 Father, this little group, I want to meet them there on that great day of the rapture when we get together, see them come running from nation to nation, getting together. "We which are alive and remain shall not hinder them which are asleep." The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise first, and then we'll meet them, and then be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air, and forever be with Him. Lord, I know that You said that in--in the book of Thessalonians, the 5th chapter, and I know it's true. And I'll meet them before we meet You. So we're so happy for this.

L-74 And we believe now that... I believe with all my heart, that because they raised their hands, and because that I've prayed and asked and followed the leading of the Spirit the best that I know how, that they are forgiven of their sins. Now, they're happy for it, Lord. Now, there's one more thing You asked them to do. "He that will confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels. "
This will be a night that they'll never forget, these young folks, of remembering that little Bartimaeus listened to his mother's story, and know that someday God used him. And this is the hour that You're using them, using them and taking them into Your Kingdom. The older ones that raised their hands, they was the ones, perhaps like Bartimaeus later on, that was blind but received his sight, his spiritual sight. Now, Father, I pray that You'll let them become Your children tonight, and will join some good church, and--and be baptized by Christian baptism, and receive the Holy Ghost. Grant it, Lord.

L-75 Now, with your heads bowed, I'm going to see and ask, you that were deeply sincere, if you believe me to be God's prophet, or his servant, rather, if you believe me to be his servant with all your heart, and you believe that I've quoted you the truth... You heard the Word, "He that heareth My words (Saint John 5:24) and believeth on Him that sent Me..." I preached the Word; you believed on God. And you raised up your hand that you was a sinner, and you did not want to be a sinner any more. Then God said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him." Then what drawed your hand up? God. You made your decision. All right. Now, what did He say? "He that comes to Me I will in no wise cast out." Then you are a Christian, if you really meant that. You young boys and girls, and you older, in your middle age, and your teen-age, all of you, you are Christians when you believe it.
