Let the saints walk just a little closer

Let the saints walk just a little closer, Lord, for we’re one day nearer Home than we were yesterday. Be Thou with us, Lord, for we ask it in Christ’s Name and for His glory. Amen.

I Thessalonian 5:8

But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

Heavenly Father, they’re coming by faith, through grace. There’s about a dozen hands went up. It’s the fruits of the Message. They come to You. They believe. I believe in them, too, Lord. I believe that, truly, the Holy Spirit spoke to them. And by faith they’re coming right up Jacob’s ladder now, right up to the foot of the cross, there laying down all their sins, and saying, “Lord, it’s too much for me. I just can’t bear it any longer. And will You take away my load of sin, and take the desire out of my heart to do so? And let me, by faith, this day, receive You as my personal Saviour. And from henceforth, I’ll follow You every mile of the way, to the end of the journey. I catch a glimpse of what it means to ‘go on to perfection,’ not going into church, and the roots of dead works like baptisms and so forth. But I want to go on, until I can be no more, and Christ can live in me.” O Jesus, grant this to each penitent soul, this morning. Every one that raise their hands shall receive Eternal Life because You promised it. They made a public acception. They raise their hands.

They broke all the laws of gravitation. They made science feel ashamed of theirself, ’cause science says, “Your arms has to hang down.” Anything would prove that in science, that it must stay earthbound, because gravitation hold it down. But there was a spirit in them that made a decision, and they defied the laws of gravitation and raised their hands. You seen it, Lord. You put their name on the Book. “Pardoned.” The old book is back in the Sea of Forgetfulness now, never to be remembered no more. Let them go forward today, as loving, sweet Christians, to serve You. And maybe many that didn’t raise their hand, grant to them also. Let the saints walk just a little closer, Lord, for we’re one day nearer Home than we were yesterday. Be Thou with us, Lord, for we ask it in Christ’s Name and for His glory. Amen.
