<TITLE>07. Par 65-72</TITLE>L-65 When Peter... After they'd come out of the great confusion, and the cowardliness had got away from them, and the Lord was blessing them, and the Holy Spirit fell on at the day of Pentecost, they went out into the streets and begin screaming, and acting like crazy people; for insomuch, that the people all thought they were drunk. "Say, I wonder what we're going to do about that?" Every per... Even the religious world then thought those people were drunk.
And listen, my Catholic friend, the blessed virgin Mary was with them. And if she couldn't get to heaven until she went up there and got a taste of Something that made her act like a drunk woman, how are you going to get there anything less than that? See? But she received Something. "A hundred and twenty, with the women, Mary Magdalene and those had went out into the street, acting like drunk people, staggering till, the real (If you'll pardon the expression.)--the sophisticated church of that day said, "Look at them; that shows what they are. They're all full of new wine."

L-68 That's what It was. Now, listen. Peter said... Then they begin to say, said, "You men of Jerusalem, you that dwell in Jeru--Judaea, let this be known unto you, and hearken to my words. These are not drunk." I'm talking about the Ephesian church here now (See, see? All right), the first church age.
He said, "These are not drunk, as you suppose. This is the third hour of the day; the saloons are not even open. Why, this is the third hour of the day." He said, "But This is that which was spoke of by the prophet Joel. It's written in your own Bible. In your own Bible this is written, that this thing will take place. Why," said, "you ought to have knowed this, you teachers."

L-69 Well, could it be, just as--as the church was brought in under that demonstration, and the same demonstration promised for the last days, can't you point back and say, "This is what was spoken of?" See? There you are. And the outside world doesn't know nothing about it; it--it's foolishness to them. Now, they said...
He said, "Looky here." And they said now, when they heard this... He told them how that they had crucified Jesus. And every time...
You can get forgiveness for crucifying Jesus. You can get forgiveness for taking His Name in vain. "But who speaks against the Holy Ghost will never be forgiven him in this world or the world to come." We're in the last day; so be careful. Walk humbly. Have a contrite, broken spirit, a humble heart, willing to let the Holy Spirit lead you. Amen. All right. Oh, my.

L-72 Here they are, they're all up there, just the people acting like... They was cowards a few hours before, closed up in the upper room. But when the Holy Spirit come upon them and filled their hearts, out into the streets... I don't imagine they were... They were not doing things that was wrong. They were out there rejoicing and praising God in--in such a way that there was a manifestation. They were just not out there fussing with one another now, whether they were Methodist or Baptist, they were--whether they were Pharisees or Sadducees. They were out there rejoicing because that they had got a taste of heaven in their soul. God had give them the spiritual manna.
