E-24 So about
the baptism of the Holy Spirit, I truly believe it with all my heart. I believe
in all the gifts of the Spirit: prophecy, speaking in tongues, interpretation
of tongues, and all the great things that goes in the
Body of Christ. And I believe by one Spirit we're all baptized into that Body
and are members and fellow citizens of the
Gracious Lord, we are approaching Thy
throne of mercy, Lord, not Thy throne of justice. We could not stand it, Lord;
for we do not plead for Your law; we do not plead for
Your justice; but we ask for Your mercy. Be merciful unto us, Lord, and
remember that we are dust of the earth and we're subject to all kinds of
mistakes. And we pray that You'll forgive us as we
humbly confess our wrongs.
We pray for every person in Divine
Presence tonight that You will be that a Saviour to them, and a Healer, and their Joy and their
Peace and their Buckler, and their Shield, and their--their Stay. Grant it,
Lord.

E-30 And that
was so at the beginning, and it's so now. Because he was
deceived by trying to sew fig leaves together to make hisself
a way, and reject God's way. And that's what he's still doing: sewing
his creeds together, and making this and that, and big churches and places to
try to deceive man by. The Bible said he would do it: "Have a form of
godliness and deny the power thereof..." So you see,
it's... You've got to be a slave one way or the other.
But we who are bond slaves to Jesus
Christ, we are slaves of joy. I'm so glad that I got shackles on me, that shackles me away from the things of the world, that I could
become a slave to Jesus Christ, to serve Him in love. And you, my brethren and sisters, who are like
precious faith, who's been borned of the Holy Ghost,
that's had the Blood of Jesus Christ to sanctify and cleanse you from all the
filth of the world, that die daily to the flesh, crucify it, putting it away,
and becoming a slave to your own body to serve God, we look for a City to come.
Blessed be the Lord.

E-94 I believe He's the same God
that was back there. The same Holy Ghost that fell on the day of Pentecost is
the same Holy Ghost that we feel right here now. Believest
thou this?
I believe the same power that preached
the Gospel all night by Paul, when a man fell and killed hisself,
and Paul laid his body over his body, and he received life again. I believe
that same Holy Ghost power is right here to a fascinate a bunch of people,
that'll make them set hours after hours in an old hot building to listen to the
glorious Gospel of Christ. Believest thou this?

66 He never
stopped it then. He can't stop it now. That's right. God's Gospel will move on,
and on, and on, and on. And when there is no more
heavens or no more earth, that Word would still remain the same. "For
heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never pass away." It
can't pass away. That Words is just as immortal as God
Himself. It can't pass away. I believe every Word of It. All the things that
Jesus was, He is now, always will be. That's right. He's the same yesterday,
today, and forever.
The
same Holy Ghost that fell on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost of
today. I'll admit It's been
tramped on, made fun of, misinterpreted, misrepresented, and everything else
like that; that's only the devil counterfeiting. But there is a real, genuine
baptism of the Holy Spirit that brings the same results that they had on the
day of Pentecost. That's right.

E-35 Now, how
God was showing Abraham. If we had time to go into it.
But here's what it was. God was showing that through the seed of Abraham, would
bring Christ, His own Son, through Isaac to Christ. And that on
Think of that. Oh, that ought to make
the Pentecost shout anyhow. Think of it, the unconditional covenant. God said,
"It has to be." And He tore apart, soul and body of His own Son. He
took the body and sent the Spirit to the church. And that Spirit can come into
the church today, and perform the same miracles showing, and people will laugh
at It and walk away from it. How do you ever expect to
make the rapture or go in to see God? There we are. Maybe you never seen that
before, but that's truth.

Not just some to
the apostles, and some to this, but He's blessed us with all spiritual
blessings. The same
Holy Ghost that fell on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost here
tonight. The same Holy Ghost that made Mary shout and speak with
tongues, and have a wonderful time, and rejoice, and the things that she did,
is the same Holy Ghost here tonight. The same Holy Ghost that let Paul on that
old ship, where it looked like it was water-logged and was gone, fourteen days
and nights, no moon or stars, he looked out there and every wave had a devil on
it, glancing and gleaning his teeth, and said, "I'll sink the old boy now.
I got you now."

124 Oh, of
course, the people will laugh at you and say, "You've lost your mind.
You've gone crazy." But remember what they're drinking from. See? Look
where they're at. Could you imagine a big artesian well spurting up fine water,
and somebody down at one of them holes down there with dead tadpoles, and
creeds and everything laying in it, drinking down there, looking up and making
fun of you? Oh. Why, he doesn't know; he doesn't know what a--what a thirst-quenching
stream you're living at. That's exactly right.
We got a living God, not one that died
nineteen hundred years ago and stayed in the grave, but One
that raised again. Hebrews 13:8, says He's the same yesterday, today, and
forever.
The same Holy Ghost that fell on the day of Pentecost is the same Holy Ghost
that's here now. He's the satisfying Portion, because He is the Word. That's
right. The Holy Ghost wrote the Word; He interprets the Word. The Bible said in
II Peter, that the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible, "Men of old, moved by the
Holy Ghost, wrote the Bible."
Now, you can't do it; you can't
satisfy that holy thirst with nothing less than God Himself living in you in
the Person of the Holy Spirit. Education, culture, joining churches, reciting
creeds, going to belong in a fellowship; all these things are very good, but
they absolutely will not stop that holy hush--that--that holy thirst, rather,
won't hush that holy thirst.

23-4 Now, here's
what we do. What's the
first thing? Have faith and be borned again; that's
laying the foundation. Then after we lay the foundation, secondly,
you add to your foundation. "Add to your faith," Peter said here. Add
to your... First you have faith, then
you add virtue to your faith. This is the next column. First pour your
foundation: faith. Then to your faith add virtue.
Now, right there knocks a lot of us
down. Yes, sir. Yes, add virtue to your faith. That doesn't just mean living a
virgin life, you know, like a woman or man, and so forth. That doesn't have nothing to do with that. The Bible said... We read over here
in the Book of Luke where it said, "Virtue went out of Him." Is that
right? If we're going to be like Him, we must have virtue then. We must have it
to be like Him. If...
