<TITLE>26. Par 296-308</TITLE>L-296   Now with... been about thirty hands up, that wants to come, to get right with God. There's been at least eight or ten, or more of that, that's sinners, that never has accepted Him.

L-297 Let us pray, and down in your heart you believe it. That's all you can do, is believe. It's up to God to do the rest. "Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness." That's all Abraham could do. He had to believe. God had to do the imputing. That's all you can do is believe. Just sincerely now bow your head over your table or wherever you're at, and let's pray.

L-298   Lord God, I do realize, if there had only been one hand, what sort of a prayer could I make for that person? Just as the Holy Spirit would lead my heart.

L-299 I once set where they are, as a sinner, knowing not Christ and His salvation. One day I accepted You, Lord. I didn't know how to... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] I'll never forget it. Lord, it changed my life. And I know that's not contrary to the Word. It's with the Word.

L-300 So, Father, in my humble way of doing it, will You receive those who raised their hands? And even those who did not, if they have need, receive them, Lord.

L-301 Take all the world out. Take all the desires of the world out. Take it from my brethren, from my sisters. Take it from me, Lord. I'm with them. We're all in the temple of God. And we realize that, our littleness, how little we are, Lord, how small and insignificant we are, and how great Thou art.

L-302   O Jehovah, be merciful to these sinners. I plead for us all, Lord. Take this little group and I, this morning. Cleanse us, Lord. Make us new creatures. Won't You, please? In my little humble way of asking You, Father, I offer this in the Name of Jesus Christ, that You'll receive them.

L-303 I now commit myself to God. I commit my ways, all my thinking, my doing. May I not think no more my thoughts. May I not more have any ways of the world. May they all be cleansed. May I just have pure, holy thoughts, from this day on. May my whole life be His.

L-304 Speak through me. And, Lord, I--I wouldn't say, do that, unless You had ordained it. You ordained Your Gospel to be preached by men. You could ordain the wind to preach It. You could ordain the stars to preach It. You could ordain the moon, the sun, to preach It. But you ordained men. He won't change it. You're waiting on men. You're not waiting on the stars; they're obeying You. The winds will obey You. But, Lord, we men, we're no good, we don't obey You. Lord, forgive us, won't You? Won't You forgive us?

L-305   Forgive us, Lord, and make us ministers, all of us, each one in his own--his own way, each one in his--his own environment, each one in his own way, where he can do the best. We just commit ourselves to You now. Make us servants of Yours, ministers of the Word. In Jesus' Name I offer this prayer.

L-306 And You taught us all that we must pray like this.
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thine will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us of our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us.
... lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom,... power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

L-307   Don't never let it die. Amen.
He careth for thee,
He careth for you,
Through sunshine or shadow,
He careth for you.

L-308 Did He not express it? Now, right across the table, let's shake each others' hands. Just remain seated.
He careth for...
Say, "God bless you, pilgrim."
He careth for you,
Through...
