<TITLE>10. Par 39-42</TITLE>L-39 On the day of Pentecost, when the Balm was poured out, we had a doctor there. His name was Dr. Simon Peter. And he wrote a prescription, and he said... They said, "What can we do to get inoculated from this sin question?" There was a time when there was no inoculation, but we got it now. "So how can we do to get over this?"
"What did you tell them, Dr. Simon Peter?"
He said, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, for the promise, the prescription... Hallelujah. This prescription... What's the prescription writes is the Holy Ghost. "This prescription is good for this generation, and that generation, and every one that the Lord our God shall call." It's a cure for sin, a double cure for sin and sickness.

L-40 Now, if you take a prescription... A doctor that writes out a prescription, he's studied that medicine, and he has to put poison in there to kill germs. And he has to put antidote in there to take the place, as it won't kill you. And if some of these little quack druggist, or supposed to be doctors, tries to tamper with that prescription, it'll kill the patient. And that's what's the matter today: their killing, spiritually dying, because they're substituting a handshake, instead of the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and they're killing the patient.
Leave the prescription Peter says, for every generation after this. Don't fool with that prescription; take it like it's wrote. "The Holy Ghost," he said, "is for each generation after this. Repentance, water baptism, and you will receive the Holy Ghost."
We have no right to say, "Oh, water baptism's all right, sure, come up and we'll baptize you the right hand of fellowship and that does it." No, sir.

L-41 Now, I'll tell you, you know the way they find medicine, they take a guinea pig, and they inoculate this guinea pig and try it on him. If it works, they'll give it to you. Sometimes it'll kill you too, because all human bodies are not like guinea pigs. But when God's going to try this inoculation, He never tried it on a guinea pig, He put it on His Son, and it held. Amen.
When they spit in His face, He said nothing about it. When they asked Him to go one mile, He went two. Then in death it held, and in the resurrection it held. And every one of these people, won't go for this inoculation. And there it is. And the same results, that the medicine did on that people...

L-42 Now, medicine will make one person act one way, and one another, but when the Holy Ghost medicine comes, it makes them everyone act the same.
I've been in Thailand, and one of those great places, South Africa and around, where the people were--didn't even know which was right and left hand. Let them receive the Holy Ghost, you know what they do? Do the same thing you do. So it works on everyone the same. There comes something down from heaven and fills their hearts, like a rushing mighty wind, and they act the same thing and do the same thing you do. Yet, they couldn't speak a word of English and don't know right and left hand, but when the Holy Ghost hits them, and they take this prescription, then he gets the same thing you do, act the same way. God wants to save the people.
