<TITLE>15. Par 55-58</TITLE>L-55 And just as soon as he said--she said, "Jesus," little John come to life, begin leap in her wombs for joy. Brethren, the first time that the Name of Jesus Christ was ever spoke by mortal lips, brought life to a dead baby. What ought it to do to a born again Church, that's borned of the power of God. If the first time it was ever spoke brought life to a baby, and that baby doesn't only receive life, it the Eternal Life, it received the baptism of the Holy Ghost in the mother's womb. Hallelujah. Oh, I feel religious.
Look, brother, I tell you, when he spoke that Name, that mother spoke that Name, Jesus, and Elisabeth got the Holy Ghost at the same time, she said, "When did the mother of my Lord come to me?" Said, "As soon as your salutation come into my ears, my baby leaped in my womb for joy." Hallelujah.

L-56 I tell you brother, if it'll do that to a dead baby, what will it do to a sick man or woman that's borned again of the Spirit of God? It'll give life too. It'll take death away every time and bring life. That great wonderful Name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, how wonderful He was.
Oh, I wish we had time, but our time's getting away quick. Let's hurry. Let's go down here now just a minute. When this little old baby, John was born. He didn't go out to the cemetery, or seminary, all the same place, all the same thing. I've always felt a seminary preacher like I did about an incubator chicken. It just chirp, chirp, chirp, and it ain't got no mammy to go to. It was mechanically turned out.

L-57 That's what's the matter with a lot of these fellows today, you don't know nothing about God and don't--denying the power of healing and the power of God, is because you ain't got no real father to go to. You got a seminary to back you up. I'd rather have the Holy Ghost at any time to back me up, and the whole world be against me. When God will confirm His Word with signs and wonders following, it shows where you come from. Amen. Amen.
"Amen" means "so be it." Nobody get scared, I've never hurt nobody yet. I slobber a whole lot up here, but I've been eating a lot of new grapes out of Canaan; that makes me slobber, you know. So I--like a horse eating clover.
But look, brother, I know where I'm at. I'm not excited. I know right where I'm--where I'm at. So I don't hurt people, just stand, open up your hearts and get into it. That's the way to do it.

L-58 When I was a little boy we used to go swimming. And I usually had less clothes then any of them, just had one old pair of overalls with a fodder twine around and a nail for a button. Did you ever have that, all you country boys? We'd all start running, and you know, barely make it, who'd be the last in. I was always the first one, 'cause I didn't have to pull off no shoes. Didn't have any to pull off. Only thing I had to do was pull a nail. Them clothes just hung in the air and I was in the water. Then they looked on to see what me... what... how the water was. If the water was cold, I'd hold up one finger, it was cold. If I held up two fingers, it was good, come on in. Then clothes go to scattering everywhere. Everybody'd be in the pool.
And brother, I'm telling you now, to you guys that has never been in the pool, I've got two fingers up; it's just right. Jump into it and find out. You'll find out it's just wonderful. The Spirit of God bathing through the people, Holy Ghost, sanctifying power, cleansing, healing. Oh, it's marvelous. Amen.
