The Joy and Blessing of Salvation

Blessed Lord, we are gathered here in thy name tonight, and especially in the interest of those who are not saved. They do not know that to the joy and blessing of sins forgiven, know nothing of eternal life, peace with God, and joy unspeakable and full of glory that thy salvation brings.

The Night of Decision and Repentance

For they are still without God and without hope in this world. O Lord, we pray that this may be the night of their decision, and there may be joy in the presence of the angels of God over sinners, many repenting, many here are kind and generous and affable and religious and all the rest of it, but still in their sin and still without salvation.

Prayer for Salvation and Believing Prayer

O God, let this be the night when many will go home saying, Thank God, saved by his grace. Bless thy people with a spirit of believing prayer. Stamp eternity upon our eyeballs, we pray thee. O God, make eternity be a reality, and grant, Lord, that there may be that burden on the heart of thine own for these who are still unsaved, possible to make it very easy accepting him as their Savior.

Shall we have a wee word of prayer together? Blessed Lord, if thou would save us and took us to heaven the moment we got saved, we couldn't have groaned one bit or complained one bit. Glory to God, we're saved and we'll never be in hell and there's no condemnation and there's no guilt and all that's done away with.

Victory Over Sin and Life in God's Will

But thou hast made provision that we might have victory over sin, that we might live a life lived in the center of thy will, the blessing of God upon our lives and upon other lives through us. O Lord, forbid that any here tonight should loathe at pride or preconceived notions unscriptural to rob them of their birthright blessing.

Surrender and Calling of Young People

We pray that tonight here in the secret of their heart, maybe on the road home in the car, in the bus, and especially as they kneel at their bedside, Lord, grant that many of these young especially may say, Lord, here I am, thine alone.

Young Missionaries and the Salvation of the Lost

O God, grant that we pray thee so that there may be as a result in the days to come young men and women out yonder in the foreign field, multitudes of them in all kinds of service here and there, men and women on fire for God and for the salvation of lost men and women.

Finishing the Ministry With Joy

Lord, bless a whole lot of us old fellows. O God, we want to finish our ministry with joy, and they know that we've got the smile of God upon us right up to the end. Keep us from backsliding and drying up like an old wart.

Lord, deliver us and keep us on fire right to the very end. You're able to do it. We trust it in Jesus' name. And everybody said, Amen. Oh, that's like a Quakers meeting.
