<TITLE>15. Par 57-59</TITLE>L-57 To you Pentecostal people, God give you a gift not long ago of speaking of tongues. I'll admit you run it to extremes. Now, you Baptists, see that I... To me it's a Gospel. I love all of you. But, brother, when I see anything's wrong, I got to--I got to say something about it. See? He give you a gift of speaking in tongues, and you run it into extremes. That's right. 'Cause you got people down there and got them to speak with tongues that knowed no more about God than nothing, and went out and done all kinds of things. If they really had God in their heart they wouldn't have done that. See? That's right. So far for that. That's all right. Brother Bosworth and them will... Teachers will do that.
I believe in speaking in tongues; sure I do. I believe in everything God said in this Bible is the truth. But the Bible said Paul said, "If you all speak with tongues, and one comes in unlearned he will say you're all mad. But if one prophesies and reveals the secret of the heart or something, then they'll fall down and say God is with you." Is that right? Thanks be to God for both of them. Is that right? It's prophecy.

L-58 Now, there's a difference between prophecy, a gift of prophecy, and a prophet. Did you know that? There's where you brethren in the latter rain went off at. Everybody... Somebody make a prophecy, you called them a prophet. That's wrong. The next time, you've seen an error. A gift of prophecy and a prophet's different.
"God in sundry times spoke to the fathers through to the prophets, these last days through His Son, Jesus Christ. A gift of prophecy is in the Body and two or three has to set before it to see if it's--to be judged when it's spoke. But you've never seen nobody stand before Moses, Isaiah, Jeremiah. Korah tried to stand before Moses one day, and the world swallowed him or the earth swallowed him up. See? But a prophet is born, election. All through life it's the Word of the Lord just as it comes to them. Now, He reveals.
Now, when everyone gets quiet... I'm trying my best to ask God in my heart. But as you're moving, it just keeps me going. Spirit moves here, moves there, moves here. I just don't know what to do. Let's pray.
Father, Lord Jesus, the great Alpha, Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, He which was, which is, and shall come, the Root and Offspring of David, the Morning Star, we worship Thee tonight with all of our hearts, full of love and gratitude. I've done best that I knowed how in Your Word, feeling, Lord, that something ought to be said to these people. For Your great Spirit is laboring here, and critics setting around with all of those ideas, and Thou knowest, Lord, it become right to me. You know You reveal them to me.

L-59 And I felt like if I could let the people know just where we stand, and what we stand for, they'd understand then that we believe You. And now, Lord, I've spoke Your Word the best that I know how. And I pray that You'll confirm It tonight with signs and wonders. Now, back the word of Your servant. I've spoke for You. Now, speak for me, Lord, in the way, that my word might be known to these men and women, Your children, to be true. I ask this for God's glory and the confirmation of His Word which Jesus Christ said would take place in the last days: "The things that I do shall you also." I ask it in His Name. Amen. Amen.
