<TITLE>14. Par 52-54</TITLE>L-52 When the church was inaugurated on the day of Pentecost, very beautiful type of the first manna falling, they was all up there in the upper room in one accord; and suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a rushing mighty wind, filled all the house where they were setting. Cloven tongues appeared on them, was like fire.
They were all filled with the Holy Ghost and out into the street they went, screaming and shouting and going on. And all the--all the religious world standing out there said, "Well, these guys are drunk. They're full of new wine. Well, listen at them. I never heard such a noise in my life."
Let me tell you something, my dear Catholic friend, here this afternoon: The blessed virgin Mary was with them. That's right. And if God... Listen here, now you that think you're starchy; look. If God wouldn't have respect no more the mother of Jesus Christ, and she couldn't get into heaven until she went up there and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost and act like a drunk woman, how much more you got to have It before you get in there? That's right.

L-53 And she staggered like she was drunk (Hallelujah.), staggering like a drunk person. Oh, you ever hear a drunkard saying, "Oh, everything's just fine."
Now, "be not drunk upon strong drink, but be drunk on the Spirit." Hallelujah. That's what we need today is an old fashion drunken baptism of the Holy Ghost that burns out sin, double cure, an old-time backwoods, sky-blue, sin-killing religion. Hallelujah.
What the world needs today is an old fashion Saint Paul's revival and the Bible Holy Ghost back in the church. Amen. That's what's the matter with the church today, the reason so formal and indifferent. Yes, sir.
Now, when they all received this, they begin to wonder. Said, "Men and brethren, what can we do?" They were eating the manna (Oh, my.), having a good time, just a glorifying God.
And Peter said, "Repent ever 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?

L-54 Now, Aaron as soon as the first manna fell, God told Aaron and Moses, "Go out there and pick up several omer's full of it and put it back in the holiest of holies, that when your children children, all that come into the priesthood, will get a taste of the original manna." Oh, what a privilege when a man become a priest...
Now, remember outside of the holiest of holies, that was the only one that kept. It wouldn't keep twenty-four hours. It got worms in it. That's what's the matter with the Pentecostal church today. Amen. What's the matter? The experience you had a year ago has got wiggletails in it today; get rid of the thing, let's have one now.
You know what them little termites or whatever it is wiggles around in them, broken cisterns, stagnated water... I know what I had yesterday. I know what I got today. Hallelujah. I'm looking for more of it. Lord, fill my soul every day. Yes, sir.
