<TITLE>12. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 If they'd keep them people from raise up, say, "I make a decision that... I--I'll raise up and make a decision," or raise up their hand to serve the Lord. If they'd put them down at the altar, and let them pray there till they come through with the baptism of the Holy Ghost, they'd stay put. But how they going to do it, when they just say, under a little spell of emotion, raise up their hands. I seen people in the prayer line do the same thing.
But let the devil give them a attack of a good hard suffering after that, they fall back and say, "Well, I failed to get it." That man who knows where he's standing, knows he was in the Presence of God, said, "Get away, Satan. I believe God." And he moves on.
Now, looky here. That bunch, I can hear, Balaam the great prophet... or hear the--Balak the king, say, "Come down and curse this people." The fundamentalist trying to curse the holy-rollers... That's right. You say, "You mean to tell me that Israel was holy-rollers?" Yes, they was.
Brother, the same kind of spirit was on them that day, is on what they call holy-rollers today. It's coming right on up. You say, "How... Can you prove that?" Yes, sir. When they crossed through the river down there, the Red Sea, and got on the other side, Moses got so in the Spirit, till he sang in the Spirit. And Miriam jerked up a tambourine, and went down the banks, a dancing, beating a tambourine. And the daughters of Israel followed her, beating tambourines and dancing. If that ain't an old time holy-roller meeting, I never seen one. Right.
That's the same Spirit's in the Church today, that they call holy-rollers. So I say that they was holy-rollers to the world.

L-45 I can hear the king say, "Now, you know we're a dignified bunch. We're a great organization. We've got the whole thing behind us here. We're a nation. That bunch of tent dwellers, and interdenominationals down there, holy-rollers, let's put a curse on them. Let's stop them from all this racket they got."
And so he brought the prophet down, and he showed him the utmost parts, the hinder parts of Israel, the worst part of it.
And I wonder today, that in the hearts of a many a good Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Nazarene, Pilgrim Holiness, I wonder if the pastor hasn't referred to you about these bunch of holy-rollers, the very worst part he could find. He hasn't said nothing about the good part, the blind receiving their sight, the deaf a hearing, and people being saved, filled with joy.

L-46 The utmost parts, showed him the utmost parts, and when old Balaam went forth to make his sacrifice, come back, God said, "You speak just what I put in your mouth." Now, it's not the prophet speaking no more; it's God. He said, "I have not seen him from the utmost, but I beheld him from the hilltop. And I have not conceived iniquity in Jacob." Hallelujah.
Let them say what they want to, as long as God's looking from the hilltop, what do you care about what people's got to say? Hallelujah. Long as there--Jesus sets on the ramparts of glory looking down and He said, "These signs shall follow them that believe." Let them call you holy-roller or anything they want to. God's beholding the scene. Amen.
