<TITLE>25. Par 86-88</TITLE>L-86 Heavenly Father, when I think of that Blood pouring out of Emmanuel's veins, the old rugged cross dragging out the footprints of the bearer as It goes up Calvary... Satan, seeing that old mockery, gobbish spit hanging on His face, he said, "That can't be God. That can't be Emmanuel. So I'll stick my stinger in Him. I'll have Him pretty soon."
But oh, how he lost then. When the sting of death contacted God, it lost its stinger. I'm so glad today, Lord, knowing too, that I've got to come down to that road. But death will lose, done lost its stinger.
I'm free tonight. Hallelujah. I'm so glad that I'm free. The sting of death is gone. Death may come and buzz; it may come and threaten me; it may come to pull me away. But like one writer said, "God harnessed it to a buggy. It can only pull me in His Presence where I long to be," where every believer longs to be.
So death has no stinger. It become a victory. Thanks be to God Who gives us the victory through Jesus Christ.

L-87 While we have our heads bowed, everyone in prayer, how many in here that knows if you were dying tonight that you've never come in contact with God so definitely till you could take every word for being His Word, and that you're obeying every Word, and you know that if you're doing wrong, you know that death would have a sting for you, 'cause you'd wonder whether you'd really be saved or not?
I'm not going to call you up to the altar. I'm just going to ask you where you are. If you will, and believe tonight, that God will take away that sting of death from you through Jesus Christ, and you want to accept it that way, raise up your hand; say, "I want to meet God."
God bless you back there, sonny boy. God bless you. God bless you up in the balcony. God bless you down here. Up in the balconies, God bless you, young man. God bless you way back there. He sees your hands. Everybody praying. That's an altar call. God bless you, setting here, sir. You might've done a many good thing in life, but that's the greatest thing you ever done.
Remember, when you raised your hand you broke every scientific rule. Science says that gravitation has to hold your hand down. But you raised up your hand, showing that there's a power in you to make a decision. And that you did, raised up your hand. Mean that from your heart, and something will happen.

L-88 Someone else raise up your hand, say, "Remember me." God bless you, sister. God bless you, sister. God bless you, brother. God bless you. That's good. Up in the balcony again, let's get way up there. How many up there? Oh, soul, church member that don't know God... God bless you, little man out here in front.
Somebody else? Raise up your hand and say, "Oh, all I know, I belong to church. All I know, I've shouted. All I know, I've spoke with tongues." Oh, brother, I've heard devils dance in the spirit, and speak in tongues, and shout, and that--that don't. "By their fruits you shall know them." Certainly.
The rain falls on the wheat and the weeds together. Certainly. They both rejoice at the rain (That's right.), makes them both happy. And it falls right in a bunch on the hypocrite and on the Christian too. But if your life doesn't come up with God's Bible, then you'd better put your hand up and say, "God, be merciful to me, and make me what I ought to be. His grace can make me what I ought to be." God bless you, young man, God bless you, lady. That's good. God bless you.
