<TITLE>15. Par 129-139</TITLE>L-129 Our heavenly Father, Satan has lost the battle. Just be patient. Don't build up a steam. Standing here preaching on letting off the steam, and then Satan thought he could run me from the pulpit, get me out of this altar call. No, Lord, in my heart there was something burning, saying, "There's somebody here. There's somebody hunting for that Rock." We thank You, Father, for the victory, and when that last person walked to the altar, the lights come on. He seen he'd lost so he might as well give up the battle.
Here stands tonight that number of grace, five precious souls: Five: J-e-s-u-s, f-a-i-t-h, grace, g-r-a-c-e. O God, You're God. You never fail; You're always right.

L-131 I'm looking, standing on the side, here's Sister Wilson's daughter. I can remember that little girl. I remember when You called her. I remember the night at New Market long years ago. Down there that night, I remember, Lord.
Here stands by her side a lady coming down from New York to sojourn with us.
Here stands a young man and a young woman just at this turning point when the world is out here doing all kinds of immoral dances and carrying on. They've walked, hunting for that Rock.
At the end of the altar stands a young fellow, his hands raised. He--he wants to find the Rock. Jesus, You are that Rock. And You said this: "Wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst." Then that Rock is right here.

L-135 It may seem very strange, Father, very simple. You make things so simple, so that we won't error. But because that they raised out of their seat and come on the invitation, because that Satan tried to keep them from doing it, every effort he could put forth he tried to do it, but he lost. Now, as Your servant I'm going to lay my hands upon them and pronounce Your blessings. And God, may it follow. Because that they are honest and sincere to follow the leading of the Spirit, I do the same.
Now, I ask that the soul of my sister shall never perish, that the desire of her heart for Eternal Life will be granted to her. Through Jesus Christ's Name.

L-137 I lay my hand upon my sister and know that many trials has beset her. I know she prays for her darling boy. I know the father, as the tears run down his cheeks tonight as he passed that little piece of tithing. And this morning when we prayed and committed the boy to the Lord God... This mother and father love the child. And, God, they want a place where they can just let off the steam and know that everything's all right. Father, we've committed it to You. You'll grant it; we have no fear. Give her that assurance just now, Father, through Jesus' Name I pray.

L-138 Father, this young man and young woman come together, so I lay my hands upon them. They come to let off the steam. A young couple like this, handsome young people, we know they're a very bait for the devil if he could only use them. But they've been snatched like a firebrand. They come, Lord, because they want to find that Shelter. They want to get to the place where they can just let off the steam, let off the pressure, and quieten themselves before God, and know that He is God. I pray, Father, that You'll give them that blessed assurance just now. May every little scale be beat off right now.

L-139 This young fellow here, Lord, that stands with his hands up, that very last one. And as soon as he rose to come up the lights come on. That was the number You wanted, that was Your calling. "All that the Father has give Me will come." The only thing we have to do is hold the Word there, and them the Father has ordained to Life will follow. And now, he comes. He wants to find that cleft, Lord, so he can set down and rest a little while. I pray, God, that You'll lead him to that cleft right now.
