<TITLE>15. Par 56-58</TITLE>L-56 Look, brother, when they were all having a big time, and the last sides was scoffing, laughing, making fun of them. Peter stood up on his soapbox or stump, said, "You men of Judaea, let this be known unto you and hearken to my words: for these are not drunk like you suppose; this is the third hour of the day," the saloon's not even open. Said, "But this is that."
Brother, if this ain't that, I'm going to keep this till that comes. Amen. Said, "This is that, that was spoke of by the prophet Joel; It'll come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh: your sons and daughters shall prophesy, and upon my handsmaidens and maid servants, will I pour out of My Spirit: And I will show signs in the heaven above, and in the earth below, pillars of fire, and vapors of smoke: It shall come to pass before the great and terrible day of the Lord shall come, that whosoever shall call upon His Name shall be saved."
They were pricked in their heart and said, "Men and brethren, what can we do?"
Peter said, "Repent, every one of you and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost."
What? The manna. We got a pot-full of it, we're going to put up there, it'll be for your children, to your children's children, to them that's far off, and as many today that wants to receive the Holy Ghost, they got the same manna.
What? They won't receive something that looks like the Holy Ghost, but they've got a mouthful and a heart-full of the original manna that fell on the day of Pentecost. God's got it laid up for every generation. Hallelujah. Amen. It brings the same results: staggering like drunk man, filled with the Spirit, signs and wonders. Amen. Whew, I feel religious.

L-57 Notice, how that God blessed, promised that He'd be down. It's for who? "For you, for your children, your children's children, for them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." Connersville, Indiana, wherever it may be, if God's still calling, He's still giving every priest... Are we priest? A royal priesthood, holy nation, coming to God, offering spiritual sacrifices (What?), the fruits of our lips giving praise to His Name. I'm slobbering a whole lot this afternoon.
You know what's the matter? I just got over in Canaan; I'm eating some of these new grapes; I'm getting drunk as I can be. Amen. It causes you to slobber. All right. Oh, it's real.
Oh, how I see what type of baby this must've been, jumped in his mother's womb before he was born and received the Holy Ghost. He wasn't going to be no hypocrite; he was going to have what he was talking about. So he came out and preached the Holy Ghost.

L-58 There he stood there, and preached... We'll have to hurry, I see my time gets away so quick here. Now, I'm just getting feeling pretty good. But look, I noticed there for a little while.
Then came Jesus. We all know, of His birth, when He was born, His ministry. We'll get quickly to the text now. Watch Him coming along.
The first thing you now, He begin to get so popular till He had to get away from the home of Lazarus. And when Jesus went out of Lazarus' home, sorrow and sickness come in. And when Jesus leaves your home, sorrow and sickness is coming in. Now, in this case it wasn't because He was forced away or driven out; He'd had a vision and God was sending Him away.
So then Lazarus got sick. Could you imagine the critics of Jerusalem then? Said, "Uh-huh, where's his buddy at? Where's that Divine healer?"
"Well, we have sent for Him, and He ignored it."
