<TITLE>19. Par 133-142</TITLE>L-133 Now, he was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. All right, and the first thing he heard when he was in the Spirit on the Lord's day... Now, we got the 10th verse.
... in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and he heard... a voice, as... a trumpet,
Let's not pass one parable now. If we have to take it tomorrow, we can take it. See? Somebody just watch the clock, that it don't get late on me.
All right, now, "was in the Spirit on the Lord's day..." Now, remember, the first thing you have to do is what? Get in the Spirit. How's these revelations going to ever come to you? Get in the Spirit. How you ever going to get the Holy Ghost? Get in the Spirit. Get in the Spirit.
When you was a sinner and you went to a dance, you got in that spirit. Oh, my, you started clapping your hands, and patting your feet, and shindigging, and throwing your hat on the floor, and going around and around, acting silly. You was in the spirit of it. Could you imagine a fellow, was a dance fiend, going to a dance, say, "Well, and you all having a pretty good time, I suppose."
"Oh," they'd say, "you wallflower, get out of here." See?

L-138 Go to the ball game, somebody knock a home run, or something another, set and look, and say, "Well, guess that's pretty good." No, you wouldn't be a baseball fiend; you wouldn't be a real... You wouldn't be in the spirit of baseball. When somebody knocks a home run, you raise up and holler, "Whew. My. Win." Knock somebody's hat off his head like that, nobody says a word about it.
Then in the church when you get in the Spirit, raise up and holler, "Glory. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord."
Somebody turn around and say, "Holy-roller." (Oh, Brother Wood...)
I'm going to ask you a question. If we're holy-rollers because we do that, then them's unholy-rollers out there. I'd rather be a holy-roller (Wouldn't you?) than an unholy one. My. Certainly. The unholy-rollers...

L-141 Now, he was in the Spirit. He got in the Spirit, then things begin to take place. And then when he got in there, he heard a trumpet. Now, a trumpet always announces the approaching of something. Like when you come... A--a king is approaching, they'll sound a trumpet. When Jesus approaches, He'll sound a trumpet. Is that right? When Joseph went forth, they sounded a trumpet. And now, something's coming forward; John got in the Spirit and he heard a trumpet. He heard a trumpet, and he turned to look what was behind him when he heard the trumpet, after he got into the Spirit.

L-142 Maybe he was dancing, jumping, running all around on the island. He was having a good time; he was in the Spirit. So and he... That may sound sacrilegious, but I don't mean it that way. See? He could. That's... He might've been doing that. I believe he was having a good time in the Spirit, just praising God; because that's exactly what happened when the Spirit fell on them at the first place. When the Holy Ghost fell on them, they staggered like drunk men and women, and acted like they were drunk, and jabbering, and call--carrying on like that till the people said, "These people are full of new wine." That's the way they acted the first time. So the Spirit come on again, he probably acted the same way. See? There's nothing new about this--this thing; this is an old-time religion. Yes.
