<TITLE>33. Par 269-272</TITLE>L-269 This little church, these people that come day after day and drive hundreds of miles, O eternal and loving and never forgetting a deed, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Jacob, Who raised up Jesus from the dead, and now He sets at the right-hand of the Majesty on high, God tabernacled in flesh, bless these people whom I bless in Thy Name. May they always remember and know that there is a sign, a sign of the end. I pray that You'll give to them and make them winners of others: on their work, wherever they may be, in the street corners, filling stations, or wherever it might be, to testify in the grocery store, to the milkman. Whatever it might be, Lord, if something warns upon their heart, may they be a witness. May they live such godly and sanctified lives until they'll be written epistles read of all men.

L-270 God, bless our women. O God, I pray that You will let them wash their faces, those who do not, take the--that Jezebel makeup off of them. Let them have the audacity of Christians and the Spirit of God upon them enough to know that they shouldn't wear those unclean clothes that they wear, let their hair grow out like ladies; for it is written in the Bible, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is that little branch that'll escape all this stuff that's coming forth in the last days. It'll be glorious in the sight of God," as the prophet has foretold it. God, grant that.
There's nothing more I can do. I've screamed my voice for year after year, Lord; and unless You move now, there's nothing I can do. I pray that--that You will. And I know You will, because You promised it in Your Word, and there's where I stand. I can only give a witness, Lord, and no man can come except You draw him; and all that the Father has given will come, I have that assurance that Your Word will be taken care of.

L-272 Bless us, Lord. And if there's those here who are just depending on a sensation... Maybe they have shouted. They... Maybe they have the Holy Spirit. Or... We wouldn't count that, Lord, because we've seen people at ball games shout. We seen people at worldly amusement shout. We seen those so happy till they cry out on the floor dancing and all those things. That ain't You, God. But to meet You, and to talk with You, and You talk back, that's what we want.
Oh, I pray Thee, God, at this very minute that You'll send that Holy Spirit into the room, this little humble place. There's no place worthy for Him to come. But I pray, God, that in Your own way, that You'll send Him right down into the room, convince souls.
As I said awhile ago, Lord, maybe put a stumbling block in somebody's way about these altar calls, begging and persuading people to go up and when we return back next year we find them a twofold more child of hell than they was to start with. How can they come except You convince them and convict them, the great Holy Spirit.
And I pray Thee, Lord God, if that sinner man or woman, boy or girl is in this building this morning, that the Holy Ghost will come with such convicting power till tears will run down their cheeks and drip into their soul, Lord, that from the depths of their heart they will believe and accept Christ. Grant it, Lord. They'll need no altar. Their soul will be their altar. Grant it, Lord. Then they come full-heartedly to Thee, and say, "I now want to be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of my sins that I have repented of." Grant it, Lord. Fill them with the Holy Ghost.
