<TITLE>09. Par 30-31</TITLE>L-30 And we find out that when they got out there a little ways, they didn't have any bread. God rained bread down out of heaven for them. It was called "manna." And when they went out to taste it, and they said it was sweet. And that was a very beautiful type of the Holy Spirit: our life. That was natural bread for the natural man to journey on. We got spiritual bread for the spiritual man to journey on.
And look. That would never cease as long as they were in the journey. And Moses told Aaron, said, after the journey even, "Go lay up several omers full, that in all generations," when a priest is ordained into the ministry, he could go into the holiest of holies and get a mouthful of the original manna that fell in the beginning.
What a beautiful type of the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit first fell on Pentecost, Peter told them, said, "This is that that was spoke of by the prophet Joel."
I've often thought, "If this ain't that, I'm going to keep this till that comes." I kinda like this. This will do till that comes if it isn't that. But I believe this is that.

L-31 Notice, and when they were all eating that manna, they got drunk, just as drunk as they could be, and was staggering like drunk men. And listen, my Catholic friend, the Virgin Mary was with them. And if she had to get that before she entered heaven, how much more are you going to have to have it. That's right.
You know what's the trouble today? The reason we're so allergic to so many things, we don't get drunk enough. You believe that?
I believe it was William Booth Clibborn one time said, in the S--early Salvation Army days in England; he missed his train one night and had to walk up and down the streets. And he walked with a cop. Been raining, and an old drunk was laying in the street, just as drunk and froze to the street. And he said to call the paddy wagon. He come, picked up the drunk and pushed him in there. Said, "What will you do with him?"
"Why," he said, "we will take him down and throw him in the jug."
He said, "Well what... Just--ain't you going to take care of him?"
Said, "He don't need no help."
"Why," said, "the man will take pneumonia."
He said, "I guess then if you took him down to the Salvation Army, you'd pad him a little while, and warm him up, and give him hot coffee, and a hot bath, and all these things."
Said, "Sure. That's the reason you kill him."
Said, "You know what?" Said, "You people don't understand. But that man's so drunk and every pore of his skin's filled with whiskey." Said, "They can't no cold get into him."
And the Bible said, "Be not drunk upon strong drinks which is to excess, but be drunk on the Spirit." What's the matter today, we ought to get so drunk till our carcasses would be so full of the Holy Ghost until nothing else can perch in its way. Trouble of it is that we don't get on a good old fashion Pentecostal drunk. Amen. That's right.
