<TITLE>21. Par 162-166</TITLE>L-162 [Brother Branham begins humming Near The Cross--Ed.] O God! If there's any of you feels like you'd like to come up and kneel down around the altar, if you'd just like to come, say, "I'm not where I should be, Lord. I--I want to make a reconsecration. I want to do it tonight, Lord." You're welcome to come. We'll be here to pray with you. [Brother Branham continues humming Near The Cross.]
In the cross, in the cross,
Oh, be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There's a precious fountain,
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calvary's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

L-163 Let's just pray, each one in your own way now. Just--just forget time. Let's just bow our heads in His Presence. This little lady here, crying out, "I love You, Jesus!" You remember when you got saved, many years ago, remember how sweet that was to you? He's just as sweet tonight. Let's pray, everybody in your own way now. Let's just--let's just all consecrate ourselves to God, just dedicate ourselves over to the Lord.

L-164 Dear Lord Jesus... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
The Stream of all my comfort,
More than life to me,
Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
Or whom in Heaven but Thee?
Dear God, we pray now that Your mercy and grace will be sent upon each and every one of us, Lord. We're here around the altar. Many could not come up; You'll meet them at their seats. Whatever we offer, Lord, You're willing to receive. If we just offer You our time, You will receive it; talent, You will receive it. But, Lord God, tonight we're going beyond that, we're offering all we are. All that I am, all that I ever expect to be, all is in You, Lord. We pray that You'll take this, our prayers, into Thy heart, Lord, and give us of the great deepness of the Holy Spirit, that our lives will be changed. For, we see that we're near the end now. Can't be too much longer. And as we see our loved ones dropping, day by day, young and old, we know soon it must knock at our door. And tonight, Lord, while we're in our right mind, setting here, or kneeling here, standing here, whichever position we're in, receive us, Lord God.

L-165 Take me, Lord. I ain't nothing, but whatever I am, Lord, if You can get any use out of me, I dedicate myself to You.

L-166 I pray, dear God, for each one of these. These dear people that I stood yonder in the mountains in Arizona and cried about, and here they are knelt around the altar with us tonight, praying, consecrating our lives. We love You, Father, more than our own lives. We love You more than our families. We love You more than wife, children, father, mother, sister, brother, husband, wife. We love You, Lord Jesus. Make that so real in our hearts, Lord. Pour in the oil of gladness, this week, Lord, in our souls. Give us a bathing, a washing of the Word, by the water of the Word, dividing unto us Truth.
