<TITLE>16. Par 58-61</TITLE>L-58 The rain follow, loosened up and the leaves go forth. It's flexible; when the Spirit moves, it moves with it. Flexible, back and forth, and frolic, and jump, and carry on, like the Methodists used to be, like the Baptists used to do. But they so...?...
The fires of persecution have burnt them, and the members has come in, got ritualistic form, and ungodliness, and burnt the bark off of them. And they're nothing but a dead bunch of representatives, only to groan, and moan, and make a lot of fussing about something God's a doing.

L-59 But there's the undergrowth coming up. "I will restore, saith the Lord. All that the disciples had, I will restore. All that they did back there, I will restore, saith the Lord."
I said, "Thank you, Lord." And I had a spasm, nearly, out there. My horse like to run away. I jumped up on the log. I shouted. I screamed. I run down a path. I jumped up-and-down, throwed my hat up in the air and shot my gun up in the air, screamed. Somebody'd thought they had a maniac out there.
What was it? "I will restore, saith the Lord." I was glad that that Holy Ghost was moving in my heart right then. And it is now too. "I will restore, saith the Lord."

L-60 Oh, that what the... They took out a healing out of here. They took shouting out of here. They took speaking in tongues out of here. They took prophecy out of here. "But I will restore, saith the Lord." Amen. I feel religious. My, I feel twice my size now.
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] "I will restore, saith the Lord." Do you see where the churches are? They're right up into the vine, right up into the end time. Let's see. My, we got to close.
Do you love Him with all your heart? Are you glad that your spirit is fresh today, that when the Lord sent the great big revival, somebody comes to town, preaching the old fashion revival, you churches go together, and the Lord just send the Holy Ghost and you're flexible, just growing in the grace of God, moving on?
Let them moan and groan. See where they come from? "Oh," they say, "let me tell you something here. I am a tree. I once stood..." Oh, yes, you was. That's right. But you once was, but what are you now?

L-61 John Wesley, when he was here in America, riding to pray for a sick woman one day, his horse stumbled, and fell, and broke its leg. John took his anointing oil, and anointed the horse, and said, "You made that horse the same as You made me." Got on him, and rode it, and rode him away.
That's what the Methodists had, what your mother had long time ago. But it's died out. "But I will restore, saith the Lord." God will send His power. God will send somebody that will accept it.
