<TITLE>11. Par 30-33</TITLE>L-30 Some of you Methodist people here, that don't believe in Divine healing, you ought to be ashamed of yourself to call yourself a Methodist. That's right. I stood by that great shrine in London, England, there, where it's a memorial of John Wesley preaching Divine healing. Turned a fox loose in amongst them like that and run the people and scattered them, he pointed his finger in his face, and said, "The sun will not set on your head three times till you call for me to pray for you." And he died that evening with cramps in his stomach, calling for Wesley to come pray for him.
When he was over here with Asbury and so forth, why he fell on his horse one day, and horse broke its leg, and got his bottle of oil out of his pocket, and anointed the horse in oil, and got on it, and he rode him away. Yes, sir. And you'd say that in the Methodist church today, and testify of Divine healing to a human being... Why, Wesley would turn over in his grave if he knowed how formal and ungodly you'd got. That's right.

L-31 And then another thing, I forget the old Methodist father who got so old he couldn't hardly preach; he preached a short sermon of two hours and a half. And he got up there and he said, "You know it... Oh, it's such a disgrace." He said, "Just think, the Methodist women are even wearing jewelry on their hands." What would he say today to see them in shorts and carrying on the way they are now? You see?
Satan might've went out of fashion, but he's not out of business; he's still on the job. Brother, the thing it is, you just let these little old things creep in, creep in, creep in, till the devil has blinded the eyes of the American people, and Communism has swept every church, and every school, and everything else. Yes, sir. That's true.
Oh, I wished I could scream it out to the people. We are finished; as a nation we're finished. That's right? We're... After the revivals and thing that's swept this land, and people still walk along the way they do, ignoring the Holy Spirit? How can you expect anything else but ruination and damnation and judgment?

L-32 Here's what's the matter with you builders, you ministers setting out there. Here's what's the matter. When they built the temple of Solomon, they started putting the temple up, and they found a freak stone, they said, "We can't use that thing," and kicked it out over in a weed pile. And they went on building the building, and come they got into end at the end of the road. They couldn't go any farther. They had a hole in the wall that they couldn't make the rest of building fit with. And come to find out, the very stone that they rejected was the Chief Cornerstone. And today, we've built Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, and everything else, and to find out, we've rejected the real Chief Cornerstone, which is God's power in demonstration of His love to His people.
Segregating the people: "I'm Pentecost; I'm better than you." "I'm Methodist; I'm better than you." Oh, brother, when you got that attitude, you need an old fashion altar somewhere to pray through at. That's right. Amen.

L-33 Notice, what we need today is a contending for the faith. When they went up there in the upper room that day, they wasn't saying, "Now look, I'm a Sadducee," and, "I'm a Pharisee," and, "I'm a proselyte," and, "I'm this, that, or the other." They were all in one place and one accord. Then suddenly there came from heaven, as the sound of the rushing mighty wind, filled all the house where they were setting. Then the Methodists, and Baptists, and all, consolidated together. Contend for that faith. That's what we're contending for today.
