<TITLE>08. Par 23-25</TITLE>L-23 Now, a few years ago the Holy Ghost went forth upon the people, believers. And It caused them to shout, and to praise God, and to separate themselves from sin and the things of the world, and to come out and be a separated people. And the Holy Ghost was poured out upon them, and they spoke with tongues, and prophesied, and done miracles and signs. It was the latter rain falling.
And then, did you notice, He didn't just leave it without that--or by that, He said, "The former rain also will come with the latter rain." Did you notice what the first rain was? Was His own rain; after that come the rain of the apostles; and in this last days both the rain of the apostles and the rain of the Lord Jesus, that's what's making the people cry out, "Hosanna to Him that cometh in the Name of the Lord."
That's the reason people today, the religious world asks, "What's this fuss about? Why do they holler so loud? What makes them scream? What kind of a language do they talk in? What is all these things about?"
The world asks Who it is? But the saints cry, "Hosanna to Him that cometh in the Name of the Lord." It's the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God, poured out upon the church without--last days to show signs and wonders. The church knows it; they're borned of the Spirit.

L-24 Watch how He did it. The latter rain come, and then the former rain come with the latter rain to confirm that the latter rain was true. Now, the people said, "Them people are crazy. They've went out of their mind. Why, they're a bunch of fanatics." That's the same thing they said about Him. They were mixed in their opinions. They didn't know what to do. But they knowed something was happening.
But watch. They called Him when He came in the former rain, they said He was the Beelzebub, a devil. How many times have you heard people say that they that speak in tongues is of the devil? Haven't you heard it? "Them people's crazy: raise up their hands and shake and speak in tongues and shout." They just don't understand it; that's all. Scriptures are fulfilled. This great gush that's coming now, is only getting a church ready for Him when He will come riding on a white horse. They'll be assembled together in one accord, in one place, and there will come the Lord Jesus.

L-25 They don't understand it. They said, "There's something wrong with those people. They're mad." That's the things they said about Him. They said, "What school did He come from? What denomination does He belong to? Is He Pharisee, Sadducee, Herodian? What is He?" He didn't belong to any of them. He belonged to God, 'cause He was the Son of God. The Holy Spirit's not limited to any denomination; It's of God. And it's for whosoever will, let him come and partake of the Spirit of Life freely. It isn't limited to any of us. It's just something that's happened to us. What's it doing? In preparation for the resurrection, preparation for the coming of the Lord. Now, you see the people congregating together, the churches breaking down their little differences and all coming together, they're getting ready. Why, we'll see Him one of these mornings coming in glory.
