<TITLE>12. Par 45-48</TITLE>L-45 Well, that Fire was hid for a while through the dark ages. But the first one saw that Pillar of Fire was Martin Luther. He sounded the trumpet, and come out of the Catholic church. And the first thing you know, it caused a great universal revival. All right. Then the next thing you know, Martin Luther got to organizing. And he organized down so tight until the Pillar of Fire moved again. But Luther couldn't--couldn't go, because he was organized and full of bunch of doctrine. But the Pillar of Fire moved just the same.
John Wesley saw it in England and away he went. Justification that Luther preached by faith, and the first thing you know Wesley saw sanctification through the Blood. And away he went, believing it. And the first thing you know, a great revival saved England and America. When him and Asbury and--and all of them come here to America, great revival swept the land. The Pillar of Fire moved. Then the first thing you know, Wesley begin to organize, the Wesleyan Methodist church and the church. He got so organized, till after awhile, away went the Pillar of Fire again out of the Wesleyan church, and Wesley couldn't move because he was organized.

L-46 I'm going to scorch you, brother. Look. Not me, but the Holy Spirit... Notice. And Wesley couldn't move because he was organized.
The Pentecostal people saw it and away they went. That's right. Right out under that Pillar of Fire they went shouting and speaking in tongues and having a great time. Is that right? But brother, the sad part, the Pentecost has organized now. It's so tight. "Well, now, I belong to the Assemblies, and I belong to this." And you're organized so tight. And God's moving the Pillar of Fire right out again. Hallelujah. And the Church is going after It. Hallelujah. Signs and wonders and miracles...
I feel like traveling on,
I feel like traveling on;
My heavenly home is bright and fair,
And I feel like traveling on. Amen.

L-47 Don't get scared. "Amen" means "so be it." That won't hurt you. I'm not amening myself, but I just like to say it anyhow. All right. Well, I'm amening myself then, 'cause I--I believe it. Yes, sir.
"Form of godliness, denying the power thereof..." Now the signs and wonders is setting in. A little bunch of corruption raised up. First thing you know, they... What is it? Then what the Luther left, the Wesley eaten. What the Wesley left, Baptist eaten. What Baptist left, Campbellites eaten. What Campbellites left, Pentecost eaten. Oh, my.

L-48 But Lord said, "I will restore." Hallelujah. What? Right back to the old fashion baptism of the Holy Ghost like fell on the day of Pentecost back yonder in the beginning. Yes, sir. And receive It... And I'm so glad that It screamed for whosoever will, come today. If you're ready to forsake all your ungodliness and get out of them old picture shows, and low downs, and hell dives, and throw away that nasty, filthy stuff, and joke, and...?... jokes, and jostling ice cream suppers, and sewing parties, and stitch and sew, and talk about Mrs. So-and-so, foreign missionary program. What's the matter with you?
What you need today... A missionary program was not never stitch and sew party. It was, "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem till you're endued with power from on high. After this the Holy Ghost is come upon you. Then you'll be witnesses of Me in Jerusalem, Judaea, Samaria, Owensboro, Kentucky, and the uttermost parts of the world." Amen.
