<TITLE>26. Par 69-71</TITLE>L-69 Heavenly Father, simply and lovingly we come to the fountain filled with Blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins, where sinners plunge beneath the flood, and lose all their guilty stains. They raised their hands, Father, because that--that they believe. And we know that they are a spirit in their heart, and then the Holy Spirit came up to them and said, "You're wrong; you're wrong. Why don't you accept Me tonight?"
And they said, "Yes, Lord," and they raised up their hand.
Now, You said in John 5:24, "He that heareth My Word..." and Lord, the best of my knowledge I've preached It. "He that heareth My Word, and (conjunction) believeth on Him that sent Me, hath (present tense) Everlasting Life, and shall not come into condemnation (at the judgment); but's passed from death to Life." Father, I--I lay that before You; that's Your Word. You said, "Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word will not." You said, "No man can come to Me, except My Father draws him first. And all the Father has given Me will come to Me."
Now, we're taught in the Bible, "As many as believed was added to the church." Now, Father, in a act of faith, I place these people who raised their hands into the church of the living God by a confession of faith, that they're Your children from tonight on. And now, Father, they have come to the Doctor's office. They're inside the door now, and they're wanting to come up to the Great Physician to have the Holy Spirit given to them, the Inoculation, the Balm, that'll keep them from the things of the world. You said, "After you have believed you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise." I pray, God, that they'll get that Holy Spirit of promise since they become Your children. Grant it.

L-70 Now, while we have our heads bowed, I'm going to ask each one that raised their hand just to stand up a moment for a word of prayer. Every one that raised your hands, I--I don't believe you did that just for the fun of it. I believe you really meant it before God in a meeting like this. Stand up. That's right; stand up to your feet. Everywhere, up in the balcony, wherever you are, stand up to your feet. God bless you. That's good. Just stand to your feet just a minute. Out in the hall, if you'd just stand to your feet, say, "I--I make that confession myself." There's many are standing now.
Now, my--my loving newborn brothers and sisters, I--I think of the vision that I saw. Someday over in a land... I wish I could just walk out there now and put my arms around you and hug you. It--it couldn't be so in this human life; I couldn't do that. But just across the border, someday I will. You'll be so glad; I'll be so glad, when I see you and you see me, and we--we'll be real brothers and sisters then. We got just a little touch of it now.

L-71 Now, listen, I'm going to tell you what God said. God said, "No man can come to Me, except My Father draws him first. And all that the Father has given Me will come to Me." Now, you've come because you know you're not worthy of coming, but you come because that something in your heart told you that you was wrong, and you don't want to be wrong no more. That's true confession. Now, the Bible said this: "He that will confess Me before man, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels." Now, clergymen, is that what Jesus said? He said that. Now, what have you done? You've stood up here before these six hundred people, or maybe more, in this building tonight to make a testimony, "I'm wrong, and I do accept Jesus Christ as my Saviour. I--There's Something spoke to my heart and said, 'This is the night for you.' So I stand up because that I make a witness that I'm wrong. I want to stand here to be a witness of Christ." Now, Christ will make a witness of you. And He said, "I will testify of you before the Father and the holy Angels."
