<TITLE>28. Par 286-296</TITLE>L-286 Say, "God, I'm not sure of it. I don't know whether I could just do all that or not. Will You help me? I'm going to raise my hand to You, Lord. Help me." God bless you. God bless you. That's good. "I--I--I want You, Lord. Help me. I--I want--I want to be raised. I--I want to be. I want to have the potentials right now. I want to know it's right. I want to know that it's right, Lord. I know, can't make no mist-... Don't want no mistake then. It ain't going..." It's going to be too late. Now is the day. My! Now is the day. Don't wait.

L-287   Not long ago, I was preaching. There was an old colored man come back there at the back the building, met me. Said, says, "Reverend, I wants to tell you. I says you is right." He said, "I done told the Lord, a long time ago, I want my ticket in my hand that morning. I want to know that it's marked right." Said, "It's going to be a lot of trouble down there at the river." He said, "I--I--I'm coming down that river." He said, "I--I don't want no trouble there. I want to get it all straightened up right here." That's right.

L-288 Got your visa? If you haven't got your visa... You may have a passport, but, if you haven't got your visa, you can't enter the Land. You know that. Have you got your everything ready? If it isn't, right now is the time to do it.

L-289 Fear not, if you're a little bit scared. Now, there's about maybe a hundred hands went up in here. So if you're just a little bit scared, now let's just settle it.

L-290   Now, I know we have different ways. Some men say, "Come up, let me shake your hand." Other say, "Come up, kneel at the altar." Now, them is fine. I haven't got one word to say against it, at all, not a thing, anything that will save.

L-291 But let me just tell you my way. "As many as believed, as many..." Coming to the altar won't make you believe. Shaking hands with the minister won't make you believe. But if you're called of God, and you're an eagle, to begin with, just a scream tells you. You'll believe. If you really believe it, I'm going to pray with you.

L-292 Could you imagine that little eagle stay in that barnyard any longer? No, no. Huh-uh. No. Don't stay here any longer, friend. Let's--let's Rapture now. The grace of God is here to do it.

L-293   Heavenly Father, we realize that we're coming down towards the closing hour. We haven't too long to be here now. Not as our age, but at the time. We believe there's a many young person setting here, will be living when this happens. It may happen yet today. We don't know the minute or hour. But, Lord, You told us, "When you see these things taking place," and they been taking place now for a long time.

L-294 We know we're way over, according to the scientists. Six, seven years ago, we was three minutes to midnight. We don't know how much time that is, ticking on, but we know we're right there.

L-295 O God, to have that assurance: to see that our heart punctuates every promise of God with "amen," to see that the Spirit Itself, that's come into us, quickens our being.

L-296 God, let my brethren see that, this morning. Let my brethren see that, that that Spirit comes in and quickens to the Word. Let my sisters see the same thing, Lord. And then, if they see something that won't let them quicken to that Word, O God, may they get rid of it right quick. Grant it, Father. It's all in Your hands now. I know I've failed in many things, and continue to fail, but, Lord, I've done all I know how to do. Now it's in Your hands. They're Yours. In Jesus' Name, receive them, Father.
