You stand there like a mighty angel, shouting the Gospel and wielding the flashing sword of judgment.” Lydia Finney1) HUMBLE REPENTANCE.Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’ “A little consideration convinced me that I was by no means in a state of mind to go to heaven if I should die… [I] was brought face to face with the question whether I would accept Christ as presented in the gospel, or pursue a worldly course of life…” C2) LIFE-CHANGING PRAYER.Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.“Lord, we want rain. We do not presume to dictate unto Thee, but our pastures are dry, and the earth is gaping open for rain...Unless Thou givest us rain, our cattle will die and our harvests will come to naught. O Lord, send us rain, and send it now!3) A PUBLIC FAITH.Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.“…I want you who have made up your minds to become Christians and will give your pledge to make your peace with God immediately should rise up…those of you who are resolved that you will not become Christians…should sit still.” Charles Finney
