<TITLE>10. Par 30-34</TITLE>L-30 Just reminds me of here not long ago, I was asking them about the picture of "The Last Supper" (Someone give it to me recently.), of how the painting, the light in it. And it cost the man the lifetime that painted that picture.
Any famous picture, before it can be put in hall of fame, it has to go through all the critics first before it can be put in the hall of fame. And then after it's passed all the criticisms, and still can stand the test, then she's hung up in the hall of fame.
The little Church, for years it's been pushed back. This is big words for a Baptist, but it's been pushed back, called holy-roller, a bunch of people that's crazy, acting foolish. That's right.
I know we got some impersonators. That's true. But we've got some genuine Holy Ghost material. Yes, we have. The devil will point you to the bad side every way. Lets the off-falls. Just remember, in there... She's been criticized and criticized, and pushed back.

L-31 As I said the other night, many times I look out and see these old dads out here and mothers who stood on the street corners and testified, when people would laugh at them and starve them to death, nearly. And here we come into big fine churches like this.
Why, I'm just running down the highway that you paved. That's true.
But brother, the little Church has been pushed back and pushed back till after a while God has come down here in these last days. He sent the gifts, putting His Church in order. She stood the criticism. They said, "Pentecost and Holiness will die out," years ago. But It's becoming the greatest Church there is on the face of the earth. Last year, nationally know, one million five hundred thousand conversions last year. Hallelujah!
What's the matter? The gifts are in Her. Churches from everywhere is pleading to see it. Hallelujah! God's going to hang Her in the hall of fame.

L-32 One of these mornings, She'll go up in the air to meet the Lord after She's went through these hard tests. That's right. Great picture, persecuted, laughed at. But God's bringing Her out. She's held right on.
You cried for deliverance. Sickness broke out among you; diseases, cancers, blindness. That's the thing that's been harming the Church. Then the Church begin to cry, "O God, send the restoration of the gifts."
Oh, my. I hope you pardon this personal expression, but about a few years ago... I believe with all my heart, the same Pillar of Fire that came down in the burning bush, swept to this earth again. I believe It's in our midst tonight.
If God could do that, and bring deliverance in the days gone by in the church natural, so will He in Church spiritual. And I believe tonight, that the same Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel is here tonight leading the Church spiritual now, delivering them. You can only be di--delivered by faith.

L-33 God went down there and told Moses, "Set yourself. Go down there and tell the people. I'll harden Pharaoh's heart, 'cause he don't believe."
And do--could you imagine, that how a man that rejects Light... When God went down there with Moses, it wasn't Moses; It was God. And God said, "I will send an Angel before thee to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place that I have prepared." Is that right? And when the children of Israel seen this Angel, He was a Pillar of Fire. Is that right? Amen.
I'm just old fashion enough to believe that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That the same God, with the same power...

L-34 Now, when He appeared back there first, He was a whirlwind in a bush to me when He appeared. And I come as Moses of old to tell you not to follow me, follow Christ. Believe Him, that He's here--here to heal all the sick and the needy. Do you believe it? And I believe He's here to heal those who have need of Him, save those, put those in harness of God (Do you believe that?), send them out to be soul-winners and to preach the Gospel. How marvelous He is. How good.
