<TITLE>13. Par 50-53</TITLE>L-50 And as he--Elisha walked down there with the robe on, but when he got down there next to the river, did you notice, he took off the robe? The robe's all right.
And brother, many people today are trying to march down to the Jordan wearing a secondhanded robe called Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, moth-eaten by doubt, and holes all in it, and everything like that. Don't you never try to cross Jordan with that. That won't work. Certainly won't. The moths was eat out.
Maybe John Wesley it worked. That might've been good for his days, but don't you try to go upon the thoughts of being a Methodist. Don't you try to go upon John Smith's Baptist robe, either. Don't you go upon Martin Luther's Lutheran robe, or the Catholic priest and their robe. Don't you go on the Pentecostal and so called today.
But brother, when Elisha got there, and we find out that he took off this robe of Elijah. It isn't some kind of a robe, but what did he do? He knowed all of us watching him. He couldn't trust in the robe of Elijah, but he said, "Where is the God of Elijah?" Amen.

L-51 We've got Pentecost, but where is the God of Pentecost? Where is the Pentecostal, resurrected Jesus Christ, Who proves Hisself alive tonight among the people? Oh, you claim Pentecost in every church. You claim it in the Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, so called the Assemblies, and every the rest of them. But where is the God of Pentecost? That's the next thing. So don't trust in that moth-eaten, thread-bare Pentecostal robe that you're wearing by name. It won't work.
Some other man might've wore it with a flame a few years ago, but, brother, it won't work with you. But it takes the God of Pentecost. Yes, sir.

L-52 And he stood by Jordan. Hallelujah. And he stood in the Jordan and said, "Where is the God of Elijah?" He knowed He was close. Then when he took the robe and threw it across the waters, I tell you, she opened to one side to the other one. I wonder sometimes when the Pentecostal, and Baptists, and Presbyterians, and so forth, stand and see the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ moving in great power, how--who claim to kiss the cup of the golden blessings of God, how they can hold their peace and live the type of life they do.
And the God of Pentecost is a moving among the people. I wonder, friends, what we will give an account at the day of the judgment. I wonder what will take place at that time. If you only realized that Jesus Christ still lives and reigns.

L-53 The secondhanded robe, but when you come to Jordan you've got to have the God of Pentecost. He wanted the God of Elijah. If the servant of God does the work of God, he's got to have the power of God. If Pentecost is wearing a Pentecostal robe, it's got to have Pentecostal power and the God of Pentecost, or it won't do any good.
Call yourself Pentecost if you want to, but where's the God of Pentecost? That's right. Yes, sir. Where is He Who appears before them? Who is it that come down to Paul that night when he was out in a ship and all hopes was gone, that everything was safe. And the Angel of the Lord come to him, said, "Don't fear Paul. Thou must be brought before Caesar. And lo, that--all these that sail with you, I give to you."
That little Jew come out on the deck there with ca--arms all bound down with shackles and across, his legs is chains, walked out there shaking his hands and saying, "Be of a good courage." Amen.
What was it? "Angel of God Whose servant I am, stood by me last night, saying, 'Don't fear Paul.'" And sirs, I believe God, that it'll be just the way He told it to me." Yes, sir.
