<TITLE>23. Par 153-157</TITLE>L-153 Now may each one in here take ahold of that same Lifeline, Lord, the Holy Spirit which is our Life, Life-giving resource. And may It guide us all to that happy land yonder, where the toils of life is over and our work on earth is done; and then there will be on more old age, no feeble people, no more weary nights, no more crying and praying, no more altar calls, but we'll be young there forever; sickness and sorrow will be no more. There'll be no more sin; and we'll live in righteousness of God through all ages that is to come, through a ceaseless eternity. Grant it, Father.
And now, Father, if there's any in here tonight who's never had ahold of that Lifeline, may they find It right now. And may the Holy Spirit Who's guided... And I can say from my heart, with my hand on Your Word, He's always been right. I'm wrong many times. But He's right. Let Him stay with me, Lord. Let me stay with Him. And may others in here, who don't know Him tonight, may they take ahold of His unchanging hand, that they might be guided down.

L-155 And someday we're coming out to the river. It's going to be foggy that morning too. The old sea will be roaring, the old Jordan, the breakers a-dashing, death choking the life out of us. But, God, I--I won't be scared. I settled it a long time ago. I just want to take off the helmet, as a warrior, turn around, look back down the path to see where that line has guided me to. See all the wilderness I've come through, and every briar patch, and every pile of stones that I got bruised on, but holding the Wire... As You said, the poet did, "Some through the waters, and some through the floods, some through deep trials, but all through the Blood." And I want to take This, the old Sword here that's protected me along the road, and stick It back in the sheath, scream out, "Father, send across the boat this morning; I'm coming in home." You'll be there, Lord. You promised it. You can't fail.
And bless everyone that's here now. And if they don't know how to hold this Line, and never touched It, may holy hands raise up now, wanting hands, desiring hands, and touch the Lifeline that'll lead them to their heart's desire, perfect peace and satisfaction, rest in Christ.

L-157 With our heads bowed, would there be a hands that'd raise up and say, "Let me. Hold my hand"? Oh, God bless you.
When the way is growing drear, precious Lord, linger near,
When my life is almost gone;
At the river I'll stand, guide my feet, hold my hand,
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me on.
Would there be another raise up their hand, say, "Lord, I want to feel the touch of the Lifeline tonight. I want to feel Christ has forgiven me of my sins, and I want to be a new creature from this hour on"? God bless you. Would there be another say, "Let me touch You, Lord. Let me lose myself"? God bless you, sister. "Let me lose myself, and find it, Lord, in Thee." God bless you. And God bless you. That's right. "Let me lose myself, Lord. Let me forget." God bless you, brother. "Let me..." God bless you, sister. "Let me just lose all my knowledge." God bless you, sister. Don't trust in man-made schemes. Follow the Guide; He'll guide you into all Truth. "Lead me, Lord Jesus, lead me." God bless you back there. Oh, there's many hands has been up, wanting salvation. Now, while we're, you...
The altar here, you can't call the altar, because people setting all over it. But He's right there. You know good and well, when you raised your hand, something happened in your heart. Jesus said, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, has Everlasting Life." You mean it? Then there's the pool here filled up with water. There'll be plenty of time for baptism. Let us pray.
