<TITLE>15. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 Brethren, sisters, don't you see the Holy Spirit today? The Holy Spirit never ceased to fall, when It fell on Pentecost. Don't let no one tell you the Holy Ghost is just back there. Someone trying to tell you all this carrying on you've had here for fifty years... Pentecost is fifty years old now. Two years ago, I preached the--the Jubilee sermon at the Angelus Temple of the fifty year celebration of Pentecost.
Now, it's been fifty years. Your mothers had the Holy Ghost.

L-58 And listen. As David duPlessis once said, God has no grandchildren. That's right. We getting too many grandchildren in Pentecost. That's right. God doesn't have a grandchild. Nowhere in the Bible says God has a grandchild. God has sons and daughters, but not grandchildren.
Now, what it is, now the first Methodist revival, they were sons and daughters of God. Then their... They, the old-timers, brought in their children then just put them in the Methodist church. That's exactly what the Pentecostals done.
I went to one of the great Pentecostal churches not long ago, frankly, about three months ago and was invited down. And they knowed how I preach holiness. And every one of their women, pretty near, in the building wearing manicure and their men with flat top haircuts and down... And soon as the Sunday school was over, each one walking out of that building and get away from there. They knowed they'd had a skinning coming, so they just didn't stay. That's all. They wouldn't stay and take it. That didn't help none, because they're going to have to meet it at the day of judgment. You might as well face it right now and get it over with when there's mercy. But there, that's where Pentecost...

L-59 What is it? The old-timers that used pray all night long, the old-timers that had real, real genuine salvation. They come into Pentecost. They got the Holy Ghost. They brought their children and put them on the cradle roll down there. And the first thing you know, we've got grandchildren in Pentecost. But God don't have grandchildren. They're all, every one, borned in His Kingdom sons and daughters of God (Amen.), sons and daughters. Not grandchildren, God don't have any. They're all sons and daughters.
That's why today, the Message blinds the people so much is because they're not used to seeing the supernatural. We need the power of God. We need back to real Pentecost. As Billy Graham said recently, you can't ignore the Pentecostal church, because it's the fastest growing church in the world today.

L-60 The Sunday visitor of the Catholic church said last year that the Pentecostal church registered one million, five hundred thousand converts in one year, where the Catholic church itself never registered half that much. You can't ignore it with all the great ministers across the land. The Pentecostal church is still taking the front line. Why? You can't stop it. That's right. God ordained it, and she's gone. But when she gets to a place she goes bringing in grandchildren, adopting, and taking up the things of the world, God will move right on out. There'll be another group take it and go right on. That's right.
So get back to the firing land, brother. Stay under the anointing. Let nothing bother you. Now, back to those signs...
