<TITLE>12. Par 82-87</TITLE>L-82 O Lord God, Creator of the heavens and the earth, the Author of Everlasting Life, and the Giver of every good and spiritual gift, take these words this morning and place them into the heart, and water them, Lord. May the people pray over these things, seeing that the world has wooed the church and has finally found its power, found its secret place, found where its secret lies, and has shaved it off, has taken the peoples that once shouted the victory, once had the victory, and has shaved them off to staying home on Wednesday night to watch a television program; taken the joy out of their hearts, and give them more love for the world than they have for God; has give them more world, for worldly, more desire for worldly entertainment than to have the preaching of the Gospel. If there's not a great band and a lot of carrying on, and whooping and carrying on, then they don't want the old Gospel any more, that brings tears of joy to the soul, that brings Divine healing back, that restores the apostolic gifts to the church, that brings in the risen Christ, the Messiah of this day.

L-83 But as Israel was bound by--by their kings, that they could not follow their real King, and their real King, when He came, they didn't recognize Him, so is it today, O Lord, the King of glory has appeared in the form of the Holy Ghost, and, Lord, they don't know it. They don't recognize it. They're so organized so tight, that they do not understand it, because it's not in their organization. Lord, this is a work of the devil that's done this to the people.
May the Samson of God, may the true in heart, those who are longing and crying, and pleading and holding on, may they stay with it, Lord, until this new crop grows out, until there comes forth again a joy in Zion, and there comes forth a group that can recognize and understand, that can see the Messiah and the hidden powers that's hid from the world, that they will not understand now. Grant, Lord, that they'll see this. For we ask it in Jesus' Name. Amen.

L-85 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
... power just now,
O Lord, send the power just now
And baptize every one.
They were in the upper chamber,
They were all with one accord,
When the Holy Ghost descended
That was promised by our Lord.
O Lord, send Your power just now,
O Lord, send Your power just now;
O Lord, send the power just now
And baptize every one.
How I love Him. Just send His power. They were in the upper chamber, all with one accord. All the world had drained out of them. They were emptied up, and the Holy Ghost came.
Today they say, "Come, join the church, put your name on the book, or bow down and say, 'I confess Christ as the Son of God,' get up." The devil does the same thing. Certainly. The devil was baptized when Judas was baptized. The devil went out and preached the Gospel when Judas went out and preached the Gospel. But the devil didn't get the Holy Ghost. That's it. There's where the hidden power's at, that resurrection, that know positive, beyond a shadow of doubt. Amen.

L-87 He's here. That same Holy Ghost, that One was on the Messiah, is still on His Church. He never leaves. "I'll be with you always, even in you to the end of the world. I'll be there. The works that I do shall you also. More than this shall you do, for I go unto My Father."
But the world compromises it, "Oh, those are days past." Just what the devil wants you to do. They want you to glamorize. God wants you baptized. God wants you... You say, "Oh, I don't believe all that there carrying-on." Go ahead and live, go ahead and live in your sin, live in your sin. But until you rot, till you rot to your own ideas, till you rot to your own fashion, and be regenerated again and borned again, and that new Life will be altogether different from the one that went down.
