<TITLE>22. Par 60-61</TITLE>L-60 Now, I thought, "Lord, I... You said, 'I will restore.' What are you going to restore?" I tied my horse and set down on a log. I was getting interested then. I thought, "I will restore." And I thought, "Now, here You will restore, You said in that Scripture. How You going to restore it?" Directly, here come the wind again; I heard it coming down through there. If you ever was in one of them, listen at it. Just a mournful sound, 'Mmm..."
Directly I heard something going "Frolic, frolic, frolic."
I thought, "What is it?" And some undergrowth was coming up, little bitty trees just like it.
I said, "There You are, Lord. 'I will restore saith the Lord.'" Right in the same forest, come up a undergrowth, what they call backwash today; what they call fanaticism today. And I said, "Look at the difference. When the wind hits these here, they say, 'Mmm'; but when it hits them little green trees that's got life in it, it just frolics and jumps, and up and down, an old fashion Holy Ghost revival. 'I will restore, saith the Lord. I will restore.'" Got a lot of life in them. When the wind blows, they just jolly with it. I don't care what the people says; that don't make any difference. I just frolic with the Holy Ghost then. Every way It blows, I just blow with it (Amen.), loving everybody, having a wonderful time.
I hate to be so starchy; "Oooh, the days of miracles is passed."
I thought, "Praise be to God." Then I set there, and I thought about this chapter here in Jude:
... earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints.

L-61 Brother, sister, today, God bless you. If I never see you again this side of heaven, that's the truth. There is a very... My language is bad; my English is poor. I can't speak my words; I'm just a real typical hillbilly Kentuckian, with 'his,' 'haint,' and 'fetch,' and 'carry'; but, brother, I know Who I'm talking about. I know what I know. I don't know very much; but what I know, I know a whole lot of it. I only went to the seventh grade, but I read a whole lot seventh grade books. See? I don't know the Book too well, but I know the Author real well. That's the main thing.
And after all, God is restoring down here now. From this undergrowth is coming up a bunch of people that's frolic and carrying on, like the Methodist church used to. You Methodists used to have Divine healing, powers of God, shouting. Well, right here when Asbury and them come to America... I'm speaking to some of you students, you here at Asbury here this morning. See? What I'm speaking of, when Asbury, your founder, first come here... And some of you dignified people to these Methodist and Baptist churches and so forth... When they first come here, the Methodists was called "holy-rollers." That's where you got your background. And they'd go in there and preach the same old Gospel I'm preaching here, till they'd fall out on the floor and lay there all night long under the power of the Holy Ghost. And they'd get pitchers of water and throw in their face and fan them with fans. If you'd just let them alone, they'd a come through, sure as the world. Amen. Yes. Hallelujah.
