<TITLE>19. Par 71-74</TITLE>L-71 If this ain't that, I'm going to keep this till that comes. Amen. Yes, sir. Said, "This is that that is spoken of by the prophet Joel. It'll come to pass in the last days, saith God, I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh: your sons and daughters shall prophesy, upon my handmaids and maidservant I will pour My Spirit; I'll show signs in the heaven above and the earth below;" and so forth.
When they got down like that, the manna was just a pouring down on that old apostle. Yes, sir. They said, "What can we do?"
He said, "Repent, every one of you, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For this promise is unto you, and to your children, and them far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
What was it? That original manna fell back there. Every time they tried to keep some of it over, it got wiggletails in it. That's what's the matter with a lot of our Pentecostal churches today, got stagnated, wiggletails in them, trying to say, "Well, the Lord give me the Holy Ghost ten years ago." What about today? That's right.

L-72 Brother, we can't build a fire in the same place twice; let's move up. God has got something else for us. Don't you believe it? He told Aaron, said, "Go out there and get two big omer's full of it, several omers, and take it in behind the holiest of holies, we will keep it there, and every man in the priesthood that enters the priesthood from hereafter, can come in and have a mouthful of the real first manna that fell on the day, the first day."
Oh, how typical that was of Pentecost [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] comes of God. Now, they want the baptism of the Holy Ghost, the walls fall down, and you not only have a handful, or a mouthful, you can have a heart full of the genuine manna that fell on the day of Pentecost, the baptism of the Holy Ghost: not something that looks like it, but the--some of the original, some of the real with the same signs, same wonders and everything, that fell with in on the day of Pentecost. We get it again when God gives us the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

L-73 How long was it to stay? That manna fell until they entered the promised land. And the Holy Ghost is here from the day of Pentecost, and will stay with us until the day we enter the promised land. Amen. That's what the Church needs today. Yes, sir. Not so much membership, we all got a million more for forty-four, and all these different slogans. Bring the people in, and shake their hands, and put them into the baptistery and baptize them, take them back out and they walk outside smoke cigarettes, go to shows, dances. Why, the hog goes to its wallow and a dog to its vomit. That's right. That's pretty strong; that's not skim milk.
But let me tell you something brother, that's what the church needs today, is a good old time Saint Paul's revival, and the Bible Holy Ghost is what we need.

L-74 Reminds me here not long ago, I was in a little old... Well, it's been some time ago. Lot of these people are going along, I thought, "Well..." I seen an old terrapin, and that old fellow was one of the funniest looking fellows. He'd make... To my brother and I, he was making them big old hang-legged walks like that. I said, when I got to him he went, "Schu," scuff right back up. That's just puts me in the mind of a lot of people that can't take it. Go to preaching the Gospel and say, "I'll never go back to that place again, huh-uh, huh-uh. No, I can't do it." Go ahead, close in.
I said, "I'll make him walk." And I went and got me a switch and I liked to beat him to death; he wouldn't come out. You can't beat them into it.
I said, "I'll fix him." I picked him up top of the shell like this, took him down at the creek and socked him down in the water. Just a few bubbles come up; that was all. He stayed right in the shell.
