<TITLE>33. Par 236-240</TITLE>L-236 And our little congregation this morning, Father, we don't know the hearts of the people. Thou does. This little group here, I'm going right out there anyhow. And now, before we leave the church, Lord, this little group that's sojourning here, they're pilgrims. They don't profess to be of this world, Lord. They're strangers. They've been born again; they're new creatures. They've come from the things of the world to serve God, knowing that, "Covet not this world's vain riches that so rapidly decay. We've got our hopes built on things eternal; they'll never pass away."
Heavenly Father, if there by chance would be one or more among us this morning that has never had a feeling like they should make that turn, I pray You'd speak to their hearts at this time. And may they sweetly and humbly in their hearts just surrender all to You, and say, "Lord Jesus, be merciful to me a sinner. I do not want to die in the state that I'm in now. And not knowing that I'll live even through the day, then isn't it foolish to waste my time upon worldly things." And everything here will perish, and the people will perish with the world. But, God, the eternal Father cannot perish, neither can His people. May they accept it now, our heavenly Father.

L-238 Sanctify these handkerchiefs laying here for the sick and afflicted. They said they taken from the body of Paul, handkerchiefs and aprons; evil spirits went from them. Heal the sick that's in our midst this morning. I pray that there'll not be a feeble person among us.
May the great Holy Spirit move across the audience now, and may everyone realize His Presence. And as I quoted at the beginning, when a storm is coming up in a dry summer, the winds has been parching and hot, the dust has been blowing; but all at once we can hear thunder; we can see the cloud arising. And I said the red signal's down; He's coming. And we feel the cool breeze, the welcoming of the Holy Spirit as It moves across our parched places. Help us today.

L-240 Save the lost. Fill with the Holy Spirit, Lord, quickly, before the lights go out, for the signal's already down. The old ship of Zion's in the blocks now, and it isn't going to be long till she'll be calling. And all of a sudden, they'll have a newspaper out, "What happened? Hundreds of people across the nation has disappeared." O God, then it's too late for the rest of them, the rapture has come. The judgment will strike the earth; the righteous will be gone. Then they'll go to the graveyards, and they'll say, "Well, wasn't... Did they open this grave? Well, what's happened here?" Oh, that one who trusted in God, that died years ago will done be gone. "Then, oh, what a weeping and wailing when the lost are told of their fate. They'll cry to the rocks and the mountain," according to the Scriptures, "pray, but prayers are too late." May it not be so with any who are present today here.
