<TITLE>30. Par 316-327</TITLE>L-316   Now, that's you now. You stood for a witness, that you want Him. Now, in your own way, the way that you pray, the way that you want to, I want you to say, "Lord God," in your heart. Now don't pay any attention... The--the--the campaign here will give you plenty time for this, all the time you want. [A brother on the platform says, "Yes. That's right."--Ed.]

L-317 Now, in your own way, in your own way. Now, I know it's customary that one man stands, the other one stands, the other ones kneels down this way. But whatever way you want to, I don't care what it is. Don't say, "Lord, let me do this. Let me do that." Just say, "Lord, fill me. Fill me with the Holy Spirit. I'm sincere in this. I mean it." Now, if you do mean it, It's got to come. It's impossible for It not. He promised It, and He's trying to press into your heart.

L-318   The only thing, you just opened a little bit, and say, "Come on the inside and stand here, but don't go around, fool with my private life." See?

L-319 He wants you. He wants all you are. He wants every compartment in your heart. He wants your private life. He wants all your life. He wants to be your Lord. Lord is "ownership." He wants to own you, so He can guide you, direct you, take you, use you. Are you willing to do that? If you are, He's wanting to come in, or you wouldn't be standing there. See? So now is the hour for you to receive It.

L-320   Now it's up to you. Now, if you'll believe with all your heart, it'll be settled from right now. This will be a memorial night. They probably won't close these doors tonight. You'll stay all night in here. But if you do like this, say, "Lord, I'm standing on my feet. Until You fill me according to Your promise, I'll never move from where I'm standing." You mean business with God, He'll get to business with you.

L-321 But until you do, you're hammering, "Lord, will You give me the Holy Ghost tonight? I don't feel nothing. Well, maybe I'll try tomorrow night." You're not going to get anything from God, like that.

L-322 You've got to come, desperate, dying, then you get It. That's right. He promised It. If it isn't, what are you using your time for, if them promises are not true?

L-323   That's how these things happen. That's why I can stand and say to the world, "Has the Word ever failed?" God promised me, back there, as a kid. That's the reason.

L-324 Say, "Aren't you afraid of failing?" I'm never. I'm always a failure. He never does.

L-325 I don't speak my words. I speak His. That's the reason They're always right. See? That's the reason I ask the world, "Show me one time it didn't come to pass. Show me one time, by the thousands of things that He said." Not one time did It fail, and It never will, because It's God, not man.

L-326 So, God is here now. Christ is in our midst. He's willing to give you the Holy Ghost if you're willing to accept It. Not pay the price; the price is already paid. The price was prayed this... paid this afternoon, nineteen hundred years ago, if you're willing to accept it. If you are, let your heart go now. Open it up. Take out all fear, all doubt. Raise up your hands to God, say, "Lord God, here I am. I stand here. I stand in the Name of Jesus Christ."
I'm going to pray for you. You pray, too.

L-327   Lord Jesus, in the way of humility, in the way of humbleness, I offer You this congregation that's on their feet. I offer them to You, because they have stood in response to the call. They're seeking deeper things. They're seeking more Life, after hearing that the Blood of Jesus so thoroughly cleanses, that there's no more nothing; that the complete Word of God rests within them; that the very command of their own voice is creative power, because in them is the Holy Ghost. And this Holy Ghost is a Creator. He makes things, comes to pass, because He speaks the Word. And the Word, spoken, becomes God in action.
