<TITLE>13. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 The Holy Spirit, God's Holy Spirit is in our midst. He's proving Himself with us. He is not dead; He is alive.
One time, they come to Him and said, "Master, we would see a sign."
He said, "A weak and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign." And if that ain't the generation we're living in, I never knowed it. A wicked and adulterous generation, what we got now. Look at the adultery, look at divorces. Divorces... America's divorce cases covers the rest of the world. Certainly they do; it sure does. It's the worst there is in the world, is divorces. Our women is on the loose, running like a bunch of wild pigs. Now, that's exactly right. On the loose... What does the judge do? Grant you your divorce. The Bible said, "Whatsoever God's joined together, let no man put asunder." I do not believe in divorces. No, sir. God puts men, women together, and they should live that way the rest of their life.
And our Pentecostal people, taking them divorced men, living with two or three different women and things, and making them deacons in the church and so forth. M-m-m, it's a shame; it's a disgrace to the Name of Jesus.

L-46 Like I believe was in India the other day, they said, "Take away your Christianity. We don't want it. We'd like to know Jesus, but we don't want your Christianity. It's terrible."
Why, in India where there's forty or fifty different kinds of religions, they could make us feel ashamed of ourself. And the Hottentots in Africa, in one of the tribes... I don't know whether it's Zulu, Shungi, or which it is. There's one of the tribes, that's so strictly, that a woman before she's married has to be tested for her virgincy. If she be found guilty, she has to tell the man that's done it, and they're both killed together. There's no night running around in that tribe. What if we'd do it in America, where would you bury them all? See, there you are. They can tell us morals (how to live it) yet we're supposed to be the holy people with the Holy Ghost. Let such tommy rot as that run into our church; it's a sin and disgrace. God have mercy on us.
Then the Holy Spirit comes, move and show His signs, and they'd just walk away as if, "Well, I guess it was all right." Oh, like you're half dead.
Believe God! Wake up! Die all the way, so He can resurrect again. Don't you believe that's the truth? This dark hour, great time that we're living. Yes, sir.

L-47 I don't like to hurt you; God knows that. But what I'm trying to say... There's preachers setting here, hundreds of them perhaps in the convention. There's church members here. What I want you to do, is get back to your church and get to work. That... We can't do it. We got to get together, and got to get this started. Something's got to happen, brethren. It's got to a place, to where the thing's falling through. Let's get started.
And you know what's happening? God's raising up out of the Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist, Lutheran, receiving the Holy Ghost, coming right out. Oh, brother, you watch. "God's able of these stones to rise children to Abraham." They see it. Look at it; search it in the Scripture today. That's the Scripture; I believe it with all my heart; step right out and receive it. See?
