<TITLE>12. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 Now, we snort and blow, "Humph! No such a thing as Divine healing. I went down to one of them old meetings. You better keep away from there; that's of the devil. That guy's a fortune-teller. They hoodoo them people. That's all there is to it." That's the same old devil that said, "It's Beelzebub." the same old devil. He's trying to keep you away from it. Test it with the Word. God tests everything by the Word. Sheep food is the Word of God. His lambs feed in this shady green pasture.
Now, we wonder today, why we can't have a revival. Why can't we have a revival? What's the matter we can't have? Is because we follow the long--wrong leadership. We can have some manufactured conversions and protractive meetings, but when it comes to a real revival, what's the matter? We're letting too much world creep into our churches. Brethren, you ministers, you believe that?

L-45 There's too much world in our churches. If we're pentecost, let's be Pentecost. Let's act like Pentecost. Let's live like Pentecost. Let's stand for the Pentecostal blessing, and do the things that Pentecost promised us. We don't need the... Pentecost is not a denomination. Pentecost is an experience. That's when you become a lamb, and the Dove gets a hold of you and starts leading you. That's when we are--are Pentecost. That's what's happened up there, when God sent up His Lamb, and He--He died for our sins, and--and then the Dove came back down on the day of Pentecost, and led the church, the same Holy Spirit that come upon the first Lamb at Jordan. That's the same One that leads today.
Well now, when you go to snorting, and saying, "I'm so-and-so; I belong to this denomination. We don't believe in no such thing as that." Now, how is the gentle Holy Spirit going to ever feed you then? Then there's--there's something wrong, the... If... A goat would stand for that, but not a sheep. A sheep, a lamb is God's child. The Holy Spirit leads God's children.

L-46 And today, what we need today is another experience. What we need today is a re-coming again of the Dove, and settling upon the church, and leading it, and opening up our eyes, and getting inside of us, so we can see the manifestations of His Presence. Oh, if we could all, every one in here just set aside the old goaty, doubty feeling away from us, and let the Dove come in tonight... And when the Dove, feel It flutter down into your heart, take Its place. It hasn't gone very far; it's just setting up there on the roost somewhere, waiting for you to come back. It didn't go very far. It'll come right back.
You remember when we used to have prayer meetings, years ago, and pray all night long? You remember them meetings? You remember when there used to be the old fashion... I've heard what they called them, the holy-rollers? They'd get down on he street corner and preach and pray. And them ladies, with them long skirts on, standing there, beating a tambourine, and face, and hair pulled back like a peeled onion. Oh, but do you think one of these new, "We love Suzy," lookers, would ever go on the street like that? I should say not. And then trying to say that she's a lamb. You old goat. What's the matter anyhow. That's right. What we need today is some more lambs that can be led, and feed on the Word of God.
