<TITLE>23. Par 268-280</TITLE>L-268   Our Heavenly Father, I know that Your Words are so true. They can't fail. They are the Word of God. They are God. And You said, "He that comes to Me, I will in no wise cast out." And these men and women, under conviction, knowing that they're not right, they've walked forward, tonight, Lord, to confess that they're wrong, knowing that they have been pulsated by some inward motion that--that bid them come to the Fountain. And here they stand, with bowed heads and hearts, to drink of the waters of Life, freely, that's been promised by God. Receive them, Father, into Thy Kingdom. They are Yours.

L-269 You said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first. And all that the Father has given Me will come to Me." And it shows that God has give these to Christ, for a love gift. And here they stand, Lord. "No man can pluck them out of My hand." And I pray, God, that You'll secure them tonight, as they stand here, and give them the baptism of the Holy Ghost while they are here at the altar.

L-270 May the great power of Christ so saturate their lives now! They made their confession. They come forward. You said, "He that will confess Me before men, him will I confess before My Father and the holy Angels." We know that work as being done.

L-271 Now, Lord, seal them into the Kingdom of promise, of the Holy Ghost. Grant it, Lord. Pour out Your Spirit upon them, and fill them with the Spirit of the living God, that they might be living testimonies all the days of their lives, to the Kingdom of God.

L-272   Now let the audience stand. Everybody in prayer now. We're going to pray that these...

L-273 Now, each one of you that come up here tonight, feeling that you had sin on your heart, now there's nothing you can do but believe that. The Holy... You accept This by faith. This is faith, that you accept. Jesus said, "No man can come to Me except My Father draws him first. And all that comes to Me," He will receive it. He can't do nothing else, because He promised it. See? Don't rest upon a sensation now. Rest upon His Word. See? The Word said so.

L-274 "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath," present tense, "everlasting Life, and shall not come to the Judgment, but is passed from death to Life." The Holy Spirit is an experience of being filled and endued with power for service. But confession and receiving Christ is to have faith and make your confession, and feel free that God has forgive you of your sins.

L-275   And upon the basis of His Word, He said, "No man can come except My Father draws him first" See? Now, God drawed you, first. "And he that will come to Me, I will in no wise cast him out." See? See? You, you have received it. Only thing, you have...

L-276 He, He died for you. Your sins were forgiven, nineteen hundred years ago. You just come now to accept what He did for you. See? And do you believe that He died for your sins? Will you accept Him as your propitiation? In other words, you accept Him, as He took your sins.

L-277 Will you be glad and thank Him for taking your sin? You believe He did it? Then just raise up your hand, say, "I believe that He takes my sin," amen, "takes my sin." All right.

L-278   Now, you are now a candidate for the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

L-279 If you haven't received Christian baptism, one of these men here will see to that, that you get Christian baptism.

L-280 "But now while Peter yet spake these words, before they was baptized; while Peter spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell upon them." Why? They were all under expectation. Now you're under expectation. You want something now that'll--that'll seal you into the Kingdom of God, something that'll be real to you. You want to re-... Don't you want to receive the Holy Ghost, every one of you? Don't you want it? Sure, you do. That's your keeping power. See?
They were gathered in the upper room,
Praying in His Name, the...
Baptized with the Holy Ghost,
And power for service came.
