<TITLE>05. Par 16-18</TITLE>L-16 Wesley said when you get sanctified and shout you got it, but he found out a lot of them shouted that didn't have it. And Pentecost says if we speak with tongues we got it, but we found out, many spoke with tongues and didn't have it. That's right. So it's something different from that, brother. That's right.
Jesus never said if they shout, if they speak with tongues, if they do this, said, "By their fruits you shall know them." And the fruit of the Spirit is not shouting, speaking in tongues. That's attributes of the Holy Spirit, of course. But it can be impersonated; we know it.
I've dealt with lots of evil spirits in my life, and--and witch doctors, and so forth, and across the world. I've seen evil spirits shout, speak with tongues, do all the manifestations, seen them do all kinds of signs and wonders and everything else: demons, and deny there was even a God. See? But you can't go by that.

L-17 And when it comes to our emotion... And I... Remember, I believe in it; I believe that anybody that's got heartfelt religion will shout, and make up a little...?... I believe that, but yet, that's not all of it. Like the old colored man was down here in the south, eating watermelon. Asked to give him a slice of watermelon, said, "How was that, boy?"
He said, "That was good, but there's some more of it." So, that's the way it is this way, this is good, but there's some more of it. You see? So we just can't live by this one slice.
So there's something different. So if you brethren and ministers, which are far more able to explain this... Now I could've took a little text here, which I had in my mind here to preach on: Life. But when I come down something struck me, "you're before ministers this morning; you're before men who's holding the keys in their hands. Speak the best you can about things that'll help these men." As long as these people can be helped, the whole world will get a help; your congregations and everywhere, they'll get a help from it. After all, brethren, we're working for one place. All of our differences and everything, we're yet bringing souls to one Master; that's God. That's what we're here for.

L-18 And now this morning, I want to express to you what I think, and why I must be borned again. And I want to express it to you in a childlike way. Let's take a little trip, if you will, and go back before the foundation of the world.
Now, we're taught that our bodies come from the dust of the earth. And medical science says that, and the Bible says that. So there's one thing that they agree upon, that we come from the dust of the earth.
And here sometime ago I was speaking at a--a Kiwanis meeting. And I was talking on a subject of--of many... that many people and what they--they believed and so forth, and this thought come this, that of--of where our bodies came from. And I asked the doctor. I said, "Doctor, I want to ask you a question," which was present at the meeting, "Is it true that my body came from the dust?"
He said, "Why, Reverend, you ought to know that."
I said, "Yes, but I want to know how it came from the dust."
"Why," he said, "by the food you eat." Said, "You eat the food and it turns into blood cells."
