<TITLE>11. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 And when the leaven of the human element, that's brought into the new wine that seeks to burst the bubble that spreads forth its strength of the alcohol, it shoves from the church all the worldly elements like that, and preserves the church. Grape juice will sour in twenty four hours, but wine will never sour, 'cause the germ of life is in the wine fermenting, and pushing, and sterilizing. And the older it gets, the better it gets. So much for that, the new wine. It can only be put in new Pentecostals bottles.
God had a hundred and twenty of them gathered into the upper room after He had oiled by His Word, and had softened up, and had renewed, and got all the old orthodoxy out of them of the old system. And God had a hundred and twenty bottles laying in the upper room when with their necks up and a funnel on the top. And when the Holy Spirit begin to raise, these bottles got so alive, until they begin to run outside preaching the Gospel, bouncing from place to place.
And one jumped on a stump and said, "This is that," right back with the Word, "This is that, which was spoken of by the prophet Joel. And it shall come to pass in the last days," saith God, 'I'll pour out My Spirit, My new wine into My new body.'"

L-40 What a revival they were having. That's God's order. Here comes a couple bottles of it bursting by, and there laid an afflicted man. And when this afflicted man touched the hand of one of these, why, his affliction left him, and he got some of it and begin leaping and praising God, and running into the temple, shouting and glorifying God.
That's God's order, not a big school with a degree, but a living, acting, experience of the Holy Spirit, not fanaticism, but the real genuine Holy Spirit put in action. May you see it, is my prayer.

L-41 Now, notice the order of the Scripture; it's perfect. God said first "I'll take away the old stony heart." You can't receive nothing. Then He said, "I'll give you a new spirit." Now, that ain't the Holy Spirit. There's where the mistake's been made. A lot of people, many people, rather, come to the altar to pray, and they get down there to praying and praying, they get to feeling a little better. They might get up and go on, and jump around a little while, and after awhile you find out they just bounce, bounce, bounce...?... back again.
They never received the Holy Spirit. No matter how much they bounce, or how much they screamed, or how much they--oil had run out of their hands, or they had bloody faces, or how much they spoke in tongues, or how much they shouted, or--or what they did, that has nothing at all to do with it. That was only human emotions. They got a new spirit, and they rejoiced with it.
I'm going to say something, and I want it to sink deep, and may God help. There is the--the emotional side of the so called Holy Ghost church today. They get a lot of build up of fanaticism, and run off out there, because they disregard the Word. They go only together, "Oh, we had a great meeting. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah."

L-42 Now, when you do that, and don't bear the fruit of the Spirit, then you're in the new spirit. You didn't used to do that; that's right. But God had to give you a new spirit. Why, the spirit you had, you couldn't even get along with yourself. So how are you going to get along with God?
So God had to give you a new heart, not a patched up one, a new heart. That's your intellects that you think with, a new way of thinking. Then when He give you a new way of thinking, "Yes, that's right. The Bible looks to be reasonable. I used to didn't believe that. I believe it now." Now, there's your great revival. See?
