about what gives pleasure to God, gives pleasure in heaven. I

think a ripple of joy went through heaven’s courts when that

lad said, “I will rise up and go to my father”. If any of you young

people here do not know the Lord, take this turning point

tonight. On life’s journey, many have missed the turning point.

I know many who have said, ‘Not tonight, not tonight—

perhaps another night’. That other night never

came, it never came for them. I am not saying they died

unsaved, I am not prepared to say that, but as far as the

visible evidence went, they missed the turning point. Oh, may

none of you tonight in this room, as the Spirit of God searches

you and works in the depths of your soul, miss that turning

point.

Now, for the sake of many who may be a little way on in life’s

journey, a little way on the Christian journey, I want to speak of

another turning point. I want to speak about it practically,

because many young people wonder will they ever come to

this turning point and arrive at the solution of the greatest

problem in the moral universe—the desire to do what is right

being countered by the will of the flesh to do what is wrong.

Have you reached that turning point, that great lesson in the

moral universe, that “the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus

has set me free from the law of sin and of death”? There is a

blessed Man in the presence of God, and no power can

challenge God in regard to your blessing—free, free as ever

you will be—no condemnation. How important to know the

blessed Spirit and to make use of His service. You young

people, when this matter has to be faced, who do you turn to?

Do you turn to yourself? That is the point where people go

wrong; they turn to themselves; they look into their own hearts

and they see something which they cannot understand,

another law in their members, something there in their

members. Despite the fact that they are believers and they
