<TITLE>27. Par 120-125</TITLE>L-120 People, we--we've got to stand that. We must do it. It's just got to be done. So the--it's not emotion. Emotions goes with it, of course. That's right. But the thing of it is, is a consecrated heart. Just take the Word of God and say, "God, I did wrong. I'm sorry I did that. You know my heart. I did wrong. Right here upon this ground, I confess my wrong. And from this night henceforth, I'm engaged to You. I'm part of the bride. I'll never do that again, never let my temper slip again. I'll--I'll act like a lady. I'll act like a gentleman. I'll do the things that the Bible says do. I'll take You right now at Your Word." Then you're getting somewhere. Do you believe that, Gospel preachers? Is that truth? That's right.

L-121 Now, let us bow our heads in prayer now. Just, each one of you in your own way. Remember, right by your side is Christ. In front of you here on the altar stands Christians praying; behind you, Gospel ministers praying. Now, that puts you in an atmosphere of prayer. Now, your confession, in your hearts in your own way, "Lord, I'm wrong. I'm sorry, Lord, I did these things. I now confess my sin. I believe on You. I accept You now. I want to be part of the bride. In Jesus' Name I pray."
Now, keep your confession on your heart now. Now, I'm going to pray for you.

L-122 Heavenly Father, how it grieves me sometimes when I look upon people who love me, and see how You take the Word and lay It out there. It just cuts to the marrow of the bone. But then You come right around to vindicate it to be truth. It is Truth. Here stands men and women, even little ladies, little girls standing here with bowed heads, and tears in their eyes, right at the crossroads of life. When I think where they could wind up down there in that twisting, rock and roll, devil-possessed, demon-oppressed group. Here they are, standing here tonight with bowed hearts, wanting something that they can put their hands on, to say, "Lord God, cleanse me from all the things of the world."

L-123 Here's middle-aged men, young men, old women, young women, all standing together. They're confessing they're wrong. You spoke to their heart. They'd never be here. It shows that they cannot even raise up out of their seats without a decision being already made. A Spirit of God was around them and--and said, "You're wrong."
And their little life said, "Lord, then I want You."
And the devil said, "Set still."
But the Spirit of God said, "Rise up." And they've walked in obedience, and standing here at the altar.

L-124 Now, as I have quoted to You Your Word, "He that will come to Me I will in no wise cast out. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white like snow; red like crimson, white like wool. Come and buy of Me wine and oil. My grace is sufficient. He that heareth My Words, and believeth on Him that sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall not come into the judgment; but's passed from death unto Life." And now, the marriage of the Lamb has come and the bride made herself ready.
Father, they are Yours. They're trophies of Your Word. They're here to be washed by the water of the Word, because it's the full Gospel. It's not sparing anything. It's cut down to get down to the kindergarten place. It's grubbing out the roots, the roots of bitterness, the--the--the roots of indifference, the roots of the world. Grub them out, Lord, by the Holy Spirit. Cast them away from these people.

L-125 I claim them for You tonight, Jesus, as Your own personal treasure, as gems in Your crown, as members of Your bride. I claim their lives. I pray with all my heart with these ministers, these servants of the living God. I pray that You take away from them, Lord, the things of the world and give them courage to stand in the face of Satan. Grant it, Lord. We believe You'll do it. You said, "Ask the Father anything in My Name, I'll do it." Now, You never said, "I--maybe I'll do it." You said, "I will do it." And I believe that it's true.
