<TITLE>18. Par 42-44</TITLE>L-42 I can see Martha run out there, or I mean or--or--or, beg your pardon, I mean, Elisabeth. Run out to meet Mary and throwed her arms around her, and said, "Darling, I'm so glad to see you. My," said, "I'm so happy, I haven't seen you in such a long time."
And I can hear Mary say, "Well, now, Elisabeth, I'm so happy to see you, honey. And I've been thinking so much about you. And I see you're to be mother."
She said, "Yes. I--I'm to be mother. That is right, Mary." Said, "I've had pleasure with my lord." Said, "And I'm going to have a baby." But said, "Mary, I'm worried. The little fellow is six months and he has never moved, yet. The little baby's dead."
"Well, you know," Mary said, "you know how I knew it? I was coming back from the pump one day, down there, and I met the Archangel Gabriel, the same One that met--met your husband. And He told me, I was going to have a baby knowing no man. And said I was to call to call His Name, Jesus."
And just the first time that that Name, Jesus, was ever spoke by human lips, that little dead baby leaped for joy in the wombs of the mother, like that, begin--and received the baptism of the Holy Ghost then.

L-43 She said, "Whence cometh the mother of my Lord. For as soon as your salutation come into my ears, why, my baby leaped in my womb for joy."
And if that Name Jesus could make a baby, dead in the mothers womb leap for joy, the first time was spoke by human lips, what ought It to a borned again Christian, or a man or woman who believes and serves Him? Amen.
Leaped in her womb for joy, then the Holy Ghost come upon Elisabeth, and she begin to prophesy. Oh, that's the old fashion religion. That's the way it works in the supernatural whelm.
What kind of a baby was this to be?
When little old John was born, well, he never went over to some seminary, and got a B.A. degree. But he went out in the wilderness, they thought about the age of nine, and stayed out there with God. That's the way to get a degree, out with the Lord. And he was out there until he was thirty years old.

L-44 And in them days John the Baptist came from the wilderness of Judaea, preaching, saying, "The Kingdom of heaven is at hand." And he stirred all the regions around about Jerusalem, and Judaea, and Samaria. Great throngs of people come out. My, we wonder, well, that's kind of Baptist, we need today, my Baptist brothers. We need a Baptist like that.
Why, why old Herod come up, and I can hear somebody say, "Now, don't you preach on marriage and divorce tonight." Could you rememb... Imagine a man full of the Holy Ghost, holding back anything? Walked right up in his face and said, "It's not lawful for you to have her." Yes, sir, brother.
He had the Holy Ghost, and he was preaching the Holy Ghost. And all the regions around was stirred. Listen. Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ though in its simplicity, it's the most powerful message that was ever preached, or ever said: the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. And there he stirred the regions around about.
