<TITLE>23. Par 249-258</TITLE>L-249   O Lord, have mercy to honest hearts. I plead for those, Lord. Oh, with all that's in me, I ask for Divine mercy. And hear me, Lord, hear me. And may this great desire, with faith, and know that it's God that spoke to their hearts. It's God that does these things. And may the heart's door come open just now, and Jesus walk in and become Lord of the situation, taking all the world out and making them new creatures in Christ Jesus.

L-250 Heal those that are sick, Lord. Perceiving that there is so much suffering, I pray for them, Father, that now the great Physician will touch their physical being, also, and make it His home, His dwelling place, where He can reach forth His hands just at the call. The little, light call of the heart, and the great Physician is on the job. Grant it, Lord. Hear us today. Bless all that's present. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we ask it. Amen.

L-251   Now, with our heads bowed, real humbly, softly, let's sing this old hymn of the church, "I love Him, I love Him because He first loved me." And believe now that what you have asked, that that little still knock that was at your heart, Jesus will come in now. Quietly, as we sing it.
I love Him, I love Him
Because He first loved me
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-252   Now, with our heads bowed. You that want to accept Him as Lord in your heart, "Lord, take away everything now. And from this hour, I'm making a consecration to You over this table, Lord, that I'll meet You again at that great Wedding Supper. I'm consecrating my life to You, this morning, so help me, my Lord. If I haven't received the Holy Spirit yet, I'm going to seek until the real Holy Spirit comes in and cleanse my life, makes me a new creature in Christ Jesus. I promise You today, Lord, as I make a consecration to You over this table. In the Name of Christ, I promise to do it, as I raise my hands."

L-253 Now, you raise your hands, and sing with your eyes closed now. "I..." Will you consecrate yourself now?
I love Him
Because He...

L-254 God, be merciful. Father, look upon these hands, and grant it, in Jesus' Name.
And purchased my salvation
On Calvary's tree.

L-255   Now I want you to reach across the table and shake hands with somebody. Say, "God bless you, pilgrim. Glad to be here with you, this morning." That's right. Everybody just mix up, Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian. "God bless you. God bless you." The Messages sometime are cutting and hard, and we--we want to--to feel good about It.

L-256 Now, God bless you, brother. God bless you. God bless you, sister. God bless you, my brother, God be with you. God bless you. Fine. Bless you, Brother Tony.

L-257   Now let us stand just a minute, with our hands and hearts to God, our Father.

L-258 All--all creeds, all--all, now believing. Now, when you have prayed, remember, Jesus said, "When you pray, believe that you receive what you ask for, and it shall be given unto you." Do you believe it? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] "I believe that I receive that what I've asked for. I consecrated my life to Jesus Christ. And from this day, henceforth, I really mean it, God. I'll walk before You until it becomes such a reality, till I'm hid altogether in Christ Jesus."
