Sincere Prayer AccOn1plisEles
What Nothing Else EUer Will

not one attribute that you don't md
! IN the works of Jesus Christ. Jesus
was God manifest in the flesh.
When ] see Jesus I get a glimpse
of God, therefore, there is no
higher revelation that God could
ever make OF Himself to humanity
that We could understand and
grasp through Jesus Christ
Bible Reveals Christ.
Therefore, ! have to know the
bible to know Christ and 1 have TO
know Christ to know God. Tho
bible reveals God to me and Christ
reveals God to me and there is no
way that I can ever get the ear o.
God unless ! go through Jesus. So
Jesus Christ is the highest revela-
ton Of God through humanity the
minds OF mankind can perceive.
Therefore, for a man to say he
loves God and turns his back on
Jesus Christ, is pure folly.
see Jesus in the garden OF
Gethsemane weeping and shedding
great drops of blood, / know how
God felt. When l see Jesus looking
over the Mount Of Olives and I see
Jerusalem at His feet and I hear
Him cry, 20, Jerusalem, how often
have gathered thee, if thou
hadst known even thou at least in
this, thy day, the things which be-
long unto thy peace, but now they
are hid from thine eyes"
Gods heart yearns to have the
lost world repent of their sins.
Much concern moves the unsavod.
When you find a man or woman
that has concern for the welfare
and salvation of others. I'll show
you a man or woman that has life
Of prayer. When you find a man
or woman that has no concern for
the welfare and salvation OF others,
I'll show you a small body who
has reduced religion to an ethical
code, whose religion consists in
forms and ceremonies. somebody
that don't know anything about re-
ligion, they have never been born
again.
Deep concern always moves the
unsaved for Jesus Christ and for
His truth.
Prayer Will Accomplish ALL
Agonizing prayer will accomp-
fish what nothing else will.
l learn another lesson. / learn
the possibilities of the human soul.
/ never looked into the face Of a
man or woman or q boy or girl but
that 1 think they are locked up
scaskets Of possibilities. You are a
part of Gods plan and so am l. In
sofar as l am in harmony with
Gods plan, Is Gods plan going TO
succeed. You are a part Of God s
plan.
There isn't a prostitute or a
drunkard or thief that wasn't Il
part Of Gods plan and Gods plan,
so far as they are concerned, will
never be perfect, but God will so
ahead and work without them. God
will work. but God depends on hu-
man agents. Gods been pleased to
put this in an earthen vessel. God 5
put it in earthen vessels. What a
terrific honor that God puts on US,
1t seems to NE that Gods in a
hurry to bless and save America.
There have never been such meet
ings held in the history Of Chris
tianity as are ching held now. You
are, living in the greatest age of
the world, spiritually, financially.
intellectually, as well as the days of
war and brutality and outrags.
Never have such extremes been
shown as are being manifested to-
day and how thankful we ought to
be to God that his cause is keeping
up with the rest of it,
1t is astounding. I am humiliat-
ed every time / think OF it. Nothing
produces JOY in heaven like the
salvation of souls. No battles. oh,
no! They didn't cheer up in
heaven. my friends, over battles.
No, Every time submarine
shoots a torpedo into, ship and it
goes to the bottom, they dont
cheer up in heaven. No picture
that was ever spread on canvas, 70
art, no extension of civilization, but
there is joy in the presence Of God
over one sinner that repents. So.
that is what brings joy in heaven
today.
Therefore, if you want 10 make
the bells of heaven ring, give your
self to God and then try and bring
someone else to the Lord.
l tell you they are in the prison
of condemnation. all OF our plead
ings and tears won't open the doors
and bring them out, bat in the days
that remain there are tens of thou
sands that are held by sensuous-
ness and pride and lust, and they
want to be free. Let's go in the
name of the Lord, Jesus Christ, and
do our utmost that they may Join
us in the song Of liberty from the
power Of the devil.
