<TITLE>04. Par -</TITLE>L-5-4 Jesus said once, "That except a man be borned again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God," or understand. And in other words, you can't discern the Kingdom of God until you are borned again.
People who will come and tell us that those who have accepted the experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that they are fanatics, or they are some ungodly name that the devil pinned on the church to call them holy-rollers. I've preached in all the world, and I've never seen a holy-roller yet. It's a name that the devil tacked on the church of the living God.
Sometimes people don't have the right discernment. They are afraid of that. Don't you know that our Lord was publicly denounced--or pronounced to be an insane Person? The Pharisees, the high church said, "That man's out of his head. He has a devil, and he's mad," and the word "mad" means "to be crazy." And if they called Him crazy, how much more will they call them of His disciples.

L-5-7 Paul said to Agrippa, "In the way that is called heresy (crazy), that's the way I worship the God of our fathers." I'm so glad tonight to join hands with Him. In the way that's called fanaticism to the modern church, that's the way I worship God.
They were called heretics, because they didn't rightly discern the Body of the Lord. That's the church of the living God.
And the church tonight is called crazy, because the people doesn't have the discernment. If a man is borned again, and you tell me that you have been borned again, and you do not believe that Divine healing is a promise of God, and you do not believe that the baptism of the Holy Ghost is for the people today, then I'll have to say that your birth was of the wrong spirit. 'Cause the Holy Ghost said that this promise is unto you and your children, and to them that is far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. You are accepting it by an intellectual conception. People are taking somebody else's word for it, and not got the discernment. They cannot discern between right and wrong.

L-6-3 I'm thinking today that many of we intellectual giants, not we, but many intellectuals giants... God's people has never been great intellectuals. The Bible said that the children of darkness is wiser in this world than the children of the Light. God likened His people unto sheep. They're not smart and intelligent. He keeps them the way they are so He can lead them. If you try to use your own intellectual thinking, you can--you right then bar out God. Sons of God are led by the Spirit of God. But it's a great intellectual day that we live in.

L-6-4 Here a few months ago (you read it in the newspaper), up in New York they had a--a trial, and two little preachers that felt led of the Lord sometime ago, little fellows about like myself that hardly knowed their abc's, and the Lord led them to the Bowery, and they bought a certain building, and there they was preaching the Gospel to their fallen brethren. Some great firm come to buy that, and all of them sold out but these little preachers. They had a revelation that the Lord wanted them to stay there, so they held their property, and the authorities brought them into court.
