<TITLE>29. Par 333-342</TITLE>L-333   Is there one here, or many, who doesn't have this quickening Power in you? The Son has shined across, and you've set in this tabernacle, you've listened to tapes, and yet the Spirit has never quickened you till you could follow the Word of God, that you women and you man could obey every Word that He's written! Oh, that's a dangerous thing. What if you would be a dead seed, no Life in you? But there is something in you, that tells you, "I--I want to rise, this morning. I want to rise from the state that I'm in. I don't want to be just a dead seed, be left to dirt and driftwood. I want to rise."

L-334 Will you raise your hand, say, "Pray for me, brother"? God bless you. God bless you. My, look at the hands; there is no way at all for an altar call. What we call a altar call, people come up around the altar, I'm not too much on it, anyhow. That was just added to the church during the days of the Methodist revival. See?

L-335   The Bible said, "As many as believed, see, were baptized." There is a pool here, full of water, waiting for any candidate who is ready to die to themself.

L-336 Now, you might be buried in, many times, in the Name of the Lord Jesus; but until that seed is Life, see, It won't quicken it. No, no, no. Baptism of waters is like the dew that fell from heaven; it can fall upon the seed, but, there's no Life there, it can't live.

L-337 But if that real baptism of waters, of death to yourself, and you're ready to die out to everything that you ever been taught by creeds and denominations, which is contrary to the Word, and you'll walk as a son or a daughter of God, and you mean it in your heart, watch what that baptism of water will do to you this morning. "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your wrongs, your sin, and you shall receive the Sheaf, the wave-offering. You shall receive the Dynamics, the Holy Ghost. For the promise is to you, and all them. To all generations, it'll be."

L-338   Father God, I--I have spoke at length, and taken up much of the people's time, but, Lord God, there is no stopping to it. It just seems you just have to quit and walk away, and rest, and come back. We're living in a dying world, amongst dying people; with a Message of Life, and with a evidence of the resurrection. Dear God, we're only going to be mortal once, and what will it be if we let this opportunity pass us?

L-339 Our hearts are burning; our souls are thrilled; these who have come in. And many here are hearing this Message this morning. Yes, two or three hundred lifted their hands. They want to believe, Lord. Oh, surely that seed is not dead, Lord. How could they raise their hand like that? There is something. O God, it's old self, it's that wife of Job standing there, saying, "Oh!" But, Lord, let that Job, that believer, walk in, this morning, die completely, and be buried here in this baptism of waters.

L-340 The dewdrops that come from Heaven, the Word of God that says It'll wash away every sin and remit it! You are baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, what for? The remission of your sin, sins remitted in the Name of Jesus Christ.

L-341   May, then, Father, may... If they're sick, may they walk out well. May, if they're crippled, may they walk out under the Power of the Holy Spirit. If they've been sinners, may they walk out washed and clean. And the mechanics, by going in; the Dynamics come from Above, the Holy Spirit, and catch them away, Lord. Quicken their mortal body, then we shall hear genuine new tongues, powers of God, love untold, dying grace and living grace; and a resurrected Christ, a Body, a Bride representing Him on earth.

L-342 Father, they are Yours. They raised their hands. I have preached the Word. Now, Father, receive them, I pray. In Jesus Christ's Name, I ask it. Amen.
