<TITLE>16. Par 57-58</TITLE>L-57 Oh, isn't He wonderful? Isn't He good? Oral Roberts says, "He's a good God." He really is. He's a good God, then He's the God of wrath; He's the God of judgment. I'm so glad that there's a fountain open in the house of God tonight for a cleanliness: all the unclean can be clean. Aren't you glad of that? So glad, so glad, my brethren, my sisters, so glad that it is. Oh, my. I just love to feel this kind of a feeling.
I remember one time when I was a young boy. There was a--a minister's sister. I had a date with her.
And she said, "Where will we go tonight, Billy?"
And I said, "Well, let's just go out and ride around somewhere."
She said, "Let's go to a movie."
I said, "I don't go to movies."
She said, "Well, there's a dance down at the Odd Fellows Hall."
I said, "I don't go to dances."
She said, "Now, you said you didn't smoke; you didn't drink; you didn't dance; you don't go to movies." Said, "What do you like to do for a pastime?"
"Oh," I said, "I like to fish, and hunt, and things like that." But that didn't interest her.
And she said, "Where do you get any joy?"
"Oh," I said, "the joy of the Lord is my joy." See?
And a few nights after that, I was in the tent meeting. Started... And the girl was there. And I made an altar call, and souls swarmed up around that altar. I seen her setting back there crying.
I said, "Come here, Helen." And she came up to where I was. I said, "You want to know what joy I have?" I said, "This is worth more to me than all the movies and all the dances." I said, "It's the joy of the Lord; it's a peace that passes understanding. I know that someday I'll meet these people in glory. They'll all be saved and be over there; and that's the joy I have."
She took a hold of my hand. She said, "Billy, let me have that joy too."
I said, "Just take your place right here. No matter what Elsworth said, stand right here." And there was bracelets on her hands, and rings, and things. Raised her hands in the air, and began screaming and shouting and praising God. God saved her and sanctified her that night. And oh, I know her brother come to me, and was just bawling me out about it.
Said, "You made a fanatic out of my sister." And she come walking up... We were standing on a street corner, and she got out of the car, and come walking up there.
She said, "I believe it the way Billy preaches it." Amen. That old fashion Gospel, she said, "I've got a peace in here I never had before, and I been a church member since the cradle roll." See?

L-58 Oh, it does something to you when you really get saved, really get something in your heart. Oh, that little song the Pentecostal people used to sing... Well, I can't sing, but let me try it.
 There are people almost everywhere,
 Whose hearts are all on flame
 With the fire that fell on Pentecost,
 That cleansed and made them clean;
 Oh, it's burning now within my heart,
 Oh glory to His name!
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them,
 I'm one of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them; (Hallelujah)
 One of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
 Though these people may not learn to be,
 Or boast of worldly fame,
 They have all received their Pentecost,
 Through faith in Jesus' name;
 And are telling now, both far and wide,
 His power is yet the same,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
 I'm one of them, one of them,
 I'm... that I can say I'm one of them; (Hallelujah)
 One of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
 Come, my brother, seek this blessing
 That will cleanse your heart from sin,
 That will start the joy bells ringing
 And will keep your soul on flame;
 Oh, it's burning now within my heart,
 All glory to His name,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
 (All together!)
 One of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them; (Hallelujah)
 One of them, one of them,
 I'm so glad that I can say I'm one of them.
