In this sermon, the speaker reflects on how God's plan and sovereignty are evident in his own life. Despite facing discouragement and opposition, the speaker remains steadfast in his faith and continues to pursue his calling. He shares a personal story of receiving a Bible as a gift during his school days, which initially sparked his hunger for God's word. The speaker also recounts his journey to London and his determination to prove himself equal to white men, highlighting the importance of not underestimating oneself. Ultimately, the speaker acknowledges his own shortcomings but embraces God's grace and accepts his calling to serve Him.

We thank thee for the happy day when our night was turned into day. We thank thee for thy mighty hand by which we have been pulled out of the mighty clay.

We thank thee for all thy promises which have been fulfilled in our lives since the day we learnt to put our trust in thee. We magnify thee for all thy goodness, love and favour which we have been receiving day by day, through our oneness and union with the Lord Jesus Christ in death, burial and resurrection. We thank thee for that peace like a river now which we have in our hearts because our sins are forgiven and washed away. We thank thee for that day when we heard these loving words, my son, my daughter, thy sins be forgiven thee. We pray for many among us who have not heard these words yet. We humbly praise these loving words we also brought in their ears from the heavenly throne. We thank thee for the power of resurrection which we have received and are receiving every day to overcome every trial and temptation and hardship because of thy faithfulness.

Now we pray by our gathering here this evening hour, thy heart of love bubbling over, be poured into many hearts. Now we pray by our gathering here this evening hour, thy heart of love bubbling over, be poured into many hearts. We are somewhat discouraged and downhearted this year by thee, and that eternal reward in many hearts and many lives this evening hour. Thank thee for many of thy dear servants sent to us from many parts of India today, encouraged us by their love and their presence and their prayers.

Those who have not heard his voice may hear it. Those who have heard it may follow him all the way. Now we pray, O God, make our time fully glorifying. Help us all to feel thy presence, hear thy voice. Draw away every eye from man, and let them be fixed upon thee, as we pray with thanksgiving in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Psalm 116 and verse 12. Psalm 116 and verse 12. What shall I render unto the Lord for His benefits toward me? Verse 14. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people. Verse 16. O Lord, truly I am thy servant, and thus shall my handmaid now hath loosed my bonds. Verse 17. I will offer to thee that sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. Verse 18. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people. Verse 19. In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem, pray unto the Lord. Verse 12. What shall I render unto the Lord for His benefits toward me? Exactly one feels this evening. His benefits are so many. His love is so great. His grace is so abundant. His mercy is as sure as that of us. And we can never find enough time to thank Him sufficiently adequately for what He can give to us as we go to Him. And because our hearts are full of praise and worship and thanksgiving, we have been constrained to arrange this gathering. And because our hearts are full of praise and worship and thanksgiving, we have been constrained to arrange this gathering.

Verse 17. I will offer to thee that sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. Again we repeat that verse 17. I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all His people, in the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem, pray unto the Lord. Not to be more correct, it was 11th of August, 1928. But because of these special meetings and other places, we could not gather like this earlier. Because of these special meetings and other places, we could not gather like this earlier. It was more than a month ago when the Lord first began to speak to me to have such a gathering, when we could thank Him for all the benefits. It was more than a month ago when the Lord first began to speak to me to have such a gathering, when we could thank Him for all the benefits. It is very very hard to express ourselves at a time like this. But in broken word, we only want to say unto the Lord how good He is unto all of us. Heavy prayer that all of you may hear His voice counts your need this evening. Whatever is to be said is being said with that object. God of grace, God of love may become real to you. There was a time when I have been saying in my following, there is no God. Even though in earlier days, I had a great hunger and thirst for living God. I have spent many hours and many days here and there in search for God. But during my holidays in London, gradually, I lost faith in God. It happened to many young people who go away from home in foreign countries. In their folly of their youth, they say many things which they do not know what they are saying. God is so gracious. He is so merciful. He goes on seeking us till we come to Him. Now I can see how God was after me, unknown to me for many years. He used many many simple means to become real to us. I remember very clearly in the month of February 1928, I went to my college in London called the City and Guilds Engineering College. It was in a locality called South Kensington. Now going by my ordinary habit, every morning I would first of all look at the notice board and see any special notice for the day. Because many of the college activities were announced every morning on the college notice board. So on the left side of that entrance, we had a very large notice board, displaying different notices for the meetings and activities in the college. As I entered that morning in the month of February 1928 in the college, on a very large notice pasted upon the notice board drew my attention. There was a big question mark at the bottom of this board. Why not spend your summer vacation in Canada this year? At that very period, I was thinking in my mind where to go during my summer vacation. Most of my college friends were planning at that time to go to Europe. Some were thinking of going to France or Italy or Germany or Switzerland or other parts of Europe for their holiday. We had about three months holiday. So I was thinking and making enquiry for different people where I should go during those three months. And that question mark drew my attention. And this was why not spend your summer vacation in Canada. Suddenly drew my attention. See how God uses these simple things unknown to us to do great things. See how God uses these simple things unknown to us to do great things. Many people want to see God in great things. Prior to that experience, you will see God much more in small things than great things. Many of us may have admired the flower like a rose. But never attracted much appreciation for an ordinary piece of grass. But to my mind, even a tiny blade of grass is far more beautiful than anything a man can make. So you see in small things, you see great things. And you find later on back experience how God is speaking to you in very very simple ways unknown to you. At that time, what do you think of my pleasure and my enjoyment? But God was thinking of my everlasting welfare. I never knew it. God was so concerned about me. We don't know it. However mighty God is equally concerned about our spiritual everlasting welfare. We don't think that my case was somewhat acceptable case. You find later on, God has the very same love for you as for anybody else. After you obeyed him and followed him, then you know back experience. So that question mark will come to you again and again. Why not spend your summer vacation in Canada? So I wrote a letter inquiring the secretary of that notice. Because they had not given any detail in the notice. When a boy came back to me after a week or so, that a party of about 25 or more university students will be going to Canada for a harvesting. You know how there is a very big harvest in Canada in a very short time. And they had to gather it before the snowfall. That's why those days they had to get many labourers from different parts of Europe. But now they have got modern machinery for harvesting. They don't require so many labourers. They were paying very high wages to labourers, although they are for a short period. So I made further inquiry. And they told me, they had planned to work on the farm, earning money for 6 weeks. And then travel to the cities for 6 weeks. So that scheme appealed to me. And I could earn money and spend some time travelling and sightseeing. At the same time earn some money. That's why I gave my name to go with the party. So I wrote to my father also. I don't require any extra money for that period. I will be able to earn enough money for my need in those days. So my father agreed for my going to Canada at that time. But before we left England, I got a letter from the secretary of the party. We won't advise you to go to Canada at this time. Because Canadians may not give you the same good treatment which you have been having in England. In those days, in the west coast of Canada, they were not receiving Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Asiatics in big hotels. But these days are different. So I again wrote back. I know how to travel. I will go on my own. Somehow that desire was so strong, I must go to Canada. Without knowing why that desire was becoming stronger. But now I can see again God's hand in my life in that way. God has a way and a plan to bring us His plan. He is so gracious. He is so sovereign. Like a skillful hand, He goes on moving us in that place. So the secretary thought by saying this word, he may discourage me. And I must stop going there. But that remark made me still more relaxed. So he again wrote back saying, You are meant upon going, you can go. But don't blame us if anybody hurts your feelings and refuses accommodation in any big hotel. So again that letter taught me one lesson. Let me show them that I may in no way inferior to anybody. I am not inferior to anybody. I am not inferior to anybody. How God in His own image comes in and shows His glory. See God knew the hunger of my heart which I had many years ago. During my school days, I have spent many hours in lonely places. Oh God, who are you? How to find you? Now I have forgotten that hunger and thirst during my college days. But God never forgets. He remembers everything. We forget even thing of yesterday. Our memory is so weak. But God remembered my early days longing. And that God promised also. In the book of Jeremiah chapter 29, Those who seek me with all their heart, they shall find me. Thus we left Liverpool on 9th August 1928. It was Friday. And the ship was called SS Montcalm. M-O-N-T-C-A-L-M, Montcalm. So I can very clearly read the whole thing. And the very first day I came on the ship, I wanted to show I am in no way inferior to any white man. Just where I saw a car, I went there. Just to show I am not inferior. I learnt their ways of conversation, their jokes and their manners. We were taking part in drinking and gambling and dancing everything on the ship. Not that I desire to take part in that. But to prove I can do what they can do. Then they said, look at that Indian. He can't do what we can do. Then Sunday came. As I told you, 11th August 1928. This year also, it was Sunday on 11th August. So I remember that morning very clearly. It was a very very clear and nice day. Sun was shining, she was very calm. So I saw another notice on the ship. She gained my habit of looking at notice. God knew that habit and again used it. So they came in that first class lounge. I saw the notice over there. There will be a Christian service in the first class dining room at 10 o'clock. I have never gone to any service. I was never interested. Nobody all the year ever told me to go with them for their service. I don't remember anybody ever coming to me, giving a book or a tract and saying to me, will you come with me. I was given a Bible in 1919 in Lahore, Pakistan. Very nice, gilted letter binding. In those days, they were giving Bible to free copy, those who would pass exams. University exam. So I walked in the Bible study that morning. In the street called Anarkali. I saw the secretary. Sir, I have passed the exam. This is my roll number. Will you kindly give me Bible? So he saw my roll number and he gave me very nice Bible. Let the body get tired. And he showed my hatred for the Bible and the Christian. I told him the very same day. I kept the cover for my notebook. That shows you my spiritual blindness of the early days. God is so gracious. As Scripture says, my grace I is saved and that none of yourself. Is a gift of God. None of us really speaking is worthy to receive God's love. If you look at ourselves. How by thoughts and by words and by deed we grieve him so often. So I know my own corruption and my own defilements. More than you do. So till that day I never thought of going to any Christian service. During my two years stay in London. I have passed by many many grand church buildings here and there. But no building ever affected me. I never even bothered to go inside and see what is inside. Just pass by them looking other side. But that morning that question again came. There will be a Christian service. In a first class dining room at ten o'clock. So I took for granted that my companion are sure to go there. So I thought. If I don't go, they might say look at that Indian. He never came to our service. So I said I have to do dancing or drinking hall. At cinemas. If I have gone those, let me go here also. I can tell people I have seen a Christian service. With that intention I went there. And nobody else came in my party. I was only one in my party who went there for their service. Anyway I was occupied by the very last row. So I never knew what they are going to do. Looking in this way that way. I was behaving as they were behaving. They got up, I got up. They began to sing. And I can't sing. I will let them think I am singing. Even though I can't sing even today. But just let them think I can do whatever they can do. So they sat down, I sat down. When they began to speak, I went to sleep. I said I am not so interested in that. I haven't come here for their sermons or their messages. I know much more about God than they do. Americans can teach us about motor cars. We Indians can teach them about God. So with that argument I paid no attention to what he was saying. In the end they began to pray upon the knees. And I kept sitting. And I said I am not going to be with them. They know me not in my country or my religion. I have seen them eating, drinking, dancing. How can they know about God? It's only hypocrisy. So it's not about kneeling down. But it felt very very awkward. And I said it doesn't look nice. Either I should go out or kneel down. And I could not go out. I found one man kneeling on right side, left side. Then a thought came to me. I have travelled in many parts of India. And I have seen men of all religion praying in the train, in the public garden, roadside, everywhere. And never in all my life I have ever disturbed anybody's prayer. I learned that lesson from my mother from early days. Never to disturb anybody's prayer. Whosoever they may be. I have never made fun of anybody in prayer. Whosoever they may be. I said all these years I have been respecting people of all religion. I should be respectful. If I am going to education I must be respectful. Just to be polite and respectful I knelt down. And before that I had to break my pride. Personal pride. National pride. Elders pride. And knelt down that very moment. Then I felt some divine powers falling upon me. In a very same field I have been saying there is no God, everything is science. We engineers, we doctors, we scientists are only person who can bring peace and prosperity. There is no God. Only those who are uncivilized they talk about God. I will sing that in my folly for many many months in 1927 and 1928. But that morning 11th of August 1928 at about 11 o'clock as I knelt down I could actually feel some divine powers falling upon me. That gave me courage. I began to say Lord Jesus Christ I know I believe thou art the living Christ. Lord Jesus Christ I know I believe thou art the living Christ. Now these words came from my lips again and again. I cannot tell you how they came. As I know I had no thought whatsoever of anything of the religion at that time. Nobody ever spoke to me Nobody ever discussed with me. But that experience shook me. And I could not forget that one living Christ. As I came on the upper deck it was a very nice day and the fellow passengers were walking on the upper deck for their morning walk. So one man said to me Mr. are you a Christian? I said no sir. The first time I am alive I have been to a Christian service. I have no idea about someone of Christianity and their teaching and their practices. And he said to me going by your conversation and your views I think you are a Christian. I do not remember at that time what I said to him. I was three months in Canada in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and Ontario Manitoba, Saskatchewan Saskatchewan and Ontario And everywhere I found them very kind to me. Extremely kind. They were telling me they would not be so kind to me. But I began to see how God of love has put his love in the hearts for me. And that is why I went back to Canada a second time. The loving kindness shown to me by those people gave me the courage to go back. At the same time I got an interest in the agricultural engineering. I knew that the India's need cannot be met by ordinary farming. I could see that 40 years ago. Unless we use the modern method of farming you cannot have sufficient food for India. With that intention I was going to India. To find out the most suitable method of the modern farming for India. At that time there were hardly any tractor and the modern machine in India for agriculture. I was the first man from India who went there for that kind of training. To combine the engineering with agriculture. I found very good prospects everywhere. They were very very kind to me. So I thought now I could have a training as an engineer in agriculture. At the same time to be able to bring to India all the modern methods for farming. You find India's biggest need is the new life. The real shortage is because of corruption in India. Sin is there. Corruption is there. Recently the flood came in Gujarat. And before the flood water reached Surat. The collector was giving a warning to his servants to the whole city. Be careful flood is coming. So many people left their shops and went to riverside to see it's coming. They never thought the water will come so soon and so high. They had to see the water coming in the river from Jabalpur side They went to the river bank. In the mean time their neighbour robbed their shop. And the water came also suddenly. And there were more than 10 feet of water in some part of the city. 80 percent of the whole city came under water. And even that time they were men only of robbery and stealing and corruption. Rather than helping them they were robbing them. India is suffering because of corruption and robbery and sin and defilement. From the highest to lowest circle. And that's why you find food sorted. For that time I never knew it. God knew it. So I went on with my training. And that desire went on becoming stronger and stronger. To know something about the Living Christ. Only that praise, the Living Christ took hold of me. So for full one year that's all I knew. Besides that I had no idea of the life and the teaching of Lord Jesus Christ. I have never gone to Bible. Never knew what it was. But the Living Christ prayer was coming again and again. So one day in my travel in Winnipeg I met a young man. My name is Mr. Hanson. He was a bank manager. And I said to him, Mr. Hanson, will you kindly lend me your Bible? He was very surprised at my request. Bible? I have heard you Indians don't like Bible. Why are you asking me for a Bible? I told him, I am not asking you to tear it. No doubt many years ago I tore the Bible. But now this word comes again and again, the Living Christ. I don't know anything about Him. And I was going there to know something about the Living Lord Jesus Christ. So he gave me a small English pocket Testament. On December 14, 1929 I came to my room and began the same book for the very first chapter, the first Gospel of St. Matthew. That was for three hours. And I said, in my BA I have read many well-known books like Shakespeare or Milton or Bunyan and some of the writers. I have never seen a book like this. Going by the language, going by the style, going by the words, I have to admit, no man can write such a way. You can read many books of the whole world. You never come across such a simple language anywhere. So I said, I have to acknowledge that no writer of any country can write such a way. How shall I get them to be happy? There is some peculiar charm and dignity about the wording of every verse. Automatically I found in my heart to get reverence for every verse. From third day, I read the third chapter, John Gospel. And third verse. And first part. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, I couldn't go further because I have you saying in the heart. It is a good book but only meant for American and European. We have got our books in India. This book is only for American and European. When I said that, I could feel some divine person coming to my room. I could not see him. I could feel him. Just as you feel sun rays coming in the room and you feel warm. I was cautious. Somebody has come. And standing by me. And saying to me, Don't say, this book is not for you. This book is for you also. I say unto thee, I heard those words and my heart began to beat faster. Like thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. I knew what happened. I was alone in my room and my heart beating so fast. I say unto thee, I say unto thee, Having heard that, I knelt down straight away. I said, Lord, in that case I am a sinner. This book belongs to me. I am a great sinner. I could see that day how I told the Bible in 1919 Anarkali Lahore. Then I saw upon my body black spots and there came a very filthy smell. A very clear, still small voice. Buglesing. The spots you are seeing and smell you are smelling is because of your sins. And I could see all my sins. As for my early days, as for age of three, till that day I could see. My memory took me back to age of three. I could not go beyond that. I remember what happened to me at that time. And I said, Lord, it is quite true. I have done all these shameful, horrible things. Even though nobody knows it. Lord, today I confess all my sins. I have defiled my body to see my parents. There are many shameful things. I have money but no peace. I have education but my life is a failure. I could see in me nothing but hatred and jealousy and greed and so on. Lord, tell me any hope for such a great sinner. Then the voice came. This is my body, broken for you. This is my blood, a testament shed for the remission of your sin. This is my blood, a testament shed for the remission of your sin. Then I replied, Lord, these words are beyond my understanding. I do not know what they mean. But because they are diverse, I know they are diverse and no man can say such words to me. Lord, without understanding, I believe them. That your body was broken for me. Your blood was shed for me. Then the voice came. My son, thy sins be forgiven thee. Thy sins be forgiven thee. Now straightaway, I lost every desire for all these worldly shameful things. Nobody said to me, don't do this. The desire left me. That time, I was a slave to tobacco and liquor and cinema and novel and worldly pleasure. You to spend one whole day just to buy one toy. Go to one shop, second shop, third shop, like ladies, this is no good, that's no good. Spend whole day for one toy. Like a fool. But that time, all desire went away and went away completely. Heavenly peace filled my heart. I found you long. All men became same to me. Love for the enemies. And above all, God became real to me. I could say truthfully, God has spoken to me. He has forgiven me. He has washed me. He is coming to me and change me and busy me. I know Him. Experience. Because I began to talk to Him every day. And He was asking my question day by day. Read the whole Bible in six weeks. I was so happy just being in God's presence. So one day a man comes to me. One very tall man. By name Mr. Flynn. Very very strong hand. He shook my hand. I was so frightened. How could such a man be a political speaker? So I said, Lord, I promise Thee, I will give Thee all my income. I have no desire worth all the money for myself. I give Thee promise. I will give Thee all my money worth of the Mary. But please, I beg Thee, don't make me a preacher. I can't be a preacher. For full two years, I sat there. Lord, see, as an engineer, I can earn much money and spend much money in Thy service. Lord, take my money, but spare me. Lord, take all my money, but spare me. Lord said again and again, I don't want Your money. I want You. I couldn't understand it. How could a man like me with so many handicaps ever be a public speaker? But he is able. He can use any one of us. I know, I had to pray very hard for every word to be spoken. Because my knees started shaking. If I see even a small crowd, I feel very, very nervous. Now, what to say? What to say? And yet God knew it. Maybe this evening, God is calling some of you. Don't disobey Him. Don't argue with Him. This day may never come again. God knows what He is doing. So in doing Your limitation, He calls you. Follow Him. It took me two years to give my life. My problem was, I am completely handicapped as a public speaker. Anyway, our two years struggle, on 4th April, 1932, I yielded. Early morning, half past two. Lord, I yield. I don't know how can You use men like me. I haven't got the least qualification as a public speaker. I can't even sing a single note. I don't know even how to even hold the Bible. And yet God was saying to me, I need Thee. So God said to me, very clearly, on 4th April, 1932, I accept you for my service on three conditions. First of all, withdraw all your claims from your property in Punjab. Being a family elder son, I will share the property. But God said, you give up your share. And don't take any salary from anybody. And don't tell anybody about your needs. You tell me. Secondly, don't join a society. And thirdly, do not make your own plan. Let me lead you day by day. Lord, I agree. And it was settled. I thank God for the grace shown even to me in calling me for His service. But today, I still wonder, why should a Lord treat a man like me? Without, I believe, He forgave my sin. He is a loving Savior. He died in my stead. I believe that easily. Because He died in my stead, He forgave my sin. But why should He call a man like me for His service? And He has not the least qualification. With all my limitations, He said, follow me. With all my shortcomings and shortcomings, He asked me to follow Him. In the past years, I don't know how to thank Him. And that's why we are in this meeting. But I can't say, you can say it. You may also join with me and say a few words of thanks unto Him for the mercy shown even to me. It is so good. He has supplied all my needs in abundance. How gracious! Even though I would have had the highest salary in the whole world, even that wouldn't have satisfied my needs. But now, day by day, He goes on showering and multiplying in abundance. Above all, the privilege and the joy and the honor to see others finding safety. As Scripture says, literally, He is loading me into the benefits every day. And you find in Psalm 68 and verse 19 it says in English, He daily loads me with benefits. It's hot here, isn't it? When they are loading a camel, the man knows how much he can carry. Some of these camels can carry lots of load. More than donkey and horses. They can carry very big load. And these camel owners, they know of every camel, how much they can carry. They know by experience. This camel can carry so many man, that camel can carry so many man. Going by that, they go on loading. But many may say, how can that camel carry so much? I say, I know my camel. I know how many he can carry. With that, he goes on loading and loading. And that's how we are loaded with benefits. God knows our desire and our need, our calling, our vocation, our service. And with that, he goes on loading and loading. And they have been our experience all the years. We have been loaded and loaded and loaded and loaded with benefits from heaven every day. And that's why we beg you to join with us in saying a few words of thanks. My God is speaking to you. Do not harm your heart. If nothing else you do, do not say, Lord, come tomorrow. God's time has come today. He wants to forgive you all your sins. I request you, please do not go away in the same condition. If you can't say it this evening, then your sins are forgiven and now call upon him. Don't say to me, I'm a good Christian, I'm a good boy, I'm a good husband, I'm a good wife, I'm a good father, I'm a good teacher, I'm a good doctor, I'm a good scholar. That won't do. The question is, are your sins forgiven? Can you say truthfully? If they're forgiven, how are they forgiven? What happened to you? Did you find peace? Did you see a new life? Have you changed? If not, now call upon him. The Lord who changed my life, a questioner, a blasphemer, worthy of every punishment, he can forgive anyone of you. I love you and believe in you. Now, now call upon him. And this very moment he forgives you. You find the word, my son, my daughter, thy sins be forgiven thee. And you find your joy multiplying every day. Secondly, if he calls you for his service, then do not resist him. There is no other joy in the whole world compared with the joy of his service. I testify to his faithfulness. What a joy to serve him. I believe with all my heart for every moment of service to him. Oh, follow him. If he's calling you, see unto him, Lord, hear my. If, as a God's servant, you're not giving what he demands of you, you find God gives all and demands all. Then you know what God does. Don't depend upon your friend or relation or other person to support you. Trust him. Hear him. Obey him. Follow him. He will supply all your needs. There is no joy in serving half-heartedly. I request all my co-workers. Please serve the whole hotel. Now say, Lord, I spend myself the whole year fully. And then you'll find your job complete. Now we're going to spend some time in thanksgiving. You can join with us in giving thanksgiving. And after all, we all will have a love feast. But before we have thanksgiving, because you wanted to pray for them, they have shown you to show hands. God is speaking to you. So in any matter, do you want him to forgive you and change you and transform you? Now call upon him. Similarly, God is calling you for his service. Then serve him. Take me and use me. You're not serving the whole hotel. Ask his forgiveness. Then serve him. After a few minutes of that, then we go to thanksgiving. I'm wondering how many fathers in the name of Lord Jesus, our Savior is standing this evening. Thank thee for thy loving presence. Thank thee all who are here. Thank thee for speaking to many among us. Now we pray for those who have desire to be prayed for. They've been given a strong faith to call upon thee. And they request to be granted. They desire to be fulfilled. We pray, Lord and Savior. Now, Lord has spoken to you. Is there any matter? You call his show hands. The Lord knows you and your heart and your desire. Very frankly, truthfully, tell him your need and desire. You want him to forgive your sins? Tell him that. You want true peace? Tell him that. You want your life to be fully transformed? Tell him that. You want to serve him? Tell him that. You want any victory over any temptation? Tell him that. You pray to obey him? Say, Lord, here am I. And then you show him for prayer. And we'll be glad to pray for you. So kindly, with all reverence, keep your hands for prayer wherever you are. And show them which can be seen also. Anybody else? Anybody else? Loving Heavenly Father, in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, our highly exalted Savior, with hearts full of worship and praise, every time I die, please. We know the Lord here and we thank thee for thy loving presence. And we call upon thee on behalf of those who are now showing hands for prayer. They've heard thy voice and they want to obey thee. They are calling upon thee for mercy and for forgiveness and thy pardon. Now we pray, O God, may these words come in the real. My son, my daughter, thy sins be forgiven thee. And thus we pray thee, they may repent sincerely. They may know by revelation the Lord Jesus Christ did die in their stead to take away their condemnation of sin and rose again. Believe in them as a living Savior and Heavenly King. But we pray for them this very evening against what they sinned, all they ask to be forgiven. Their hearts be cleansed, their lives be transformed and the light may shine in them. And we call upon thee to hear thy voice for thy service. They may also be received by thee and trained by thee and used by thee. And those who are here to give them the holiest glory unto thee for the whole hearty surrender they brought the full possession. Let us thy word as we pray in the name of the Lord Jesus of Australia. Now we are going to spend some time in thanksgiving as the Lord has burdened you. Will you kindly say a few words in brief and the Lord will hear you. As the Lord has burdened you and led you, say a few words in praise of the Lord. We thank thee all who could come rejoice with us. We thank thee what has been rendered already in our hearts by thy presence. We pray thou may be with those specially who have heard thy call and heard thy voice and call upon thee. Those who have heard, those who have desired have their sins forgiven. We assured of thee this very evening their sins are forgiven. They may repent sincerely and put all things right with their men. Know by revelation the Lord did I invest for their sins and rose again to live in them and shed his blood to cleanse them of all defilement. Those who have heard thy call and thy service may they not go back they may follow thee all the way exhausting in persecution they may become thy strong witnesses and those who have made any promise with thee may remain true. The work of grace begun of thee be completed and our time of fellowship help all to get ready may order be maintained we pray in the name of our Savior Now unto him able to keep us from falling and then thus to the only by our Savior the Lord be glory and power both now and evermore.
