<TITLE>04. Par 28-34</TITLE>L-28 But I want to just say this before starting. To see the beginning of the church age, and to see how the apostles, the doctrines, and things that they taught, and the principles of the Bible, and then to see that church, about the second round of apostles, how it begin to fade away: the real, true teaching. The third round, getting way away; by the fourth round it had faded out into a--a lukewarm. The church brought forth a lukewarm church.
And then a Spirit-filled church... Which I say this with godly respects to every man's religion: from the beginning to this time, the real true church has been a Pentecostal church. It is true; God has reserved this church.
And I often wonder, when Jesus made the remark, said, "Fear not, little flock, it's your Father's good will to give you the Kingdom." I often wondered what that meant, but I understand it now.

L-31 Last week we had a meeting at Shreveport, Louisiana, the greatest spiritual meeting I ever went into in my life: Shreveport.
I was--had a couple days of vacation, and I went down in Kentucky with a Brother Wood here, one of the deacons of the church, or trustees, rather, to hunt. And we went into the woods.
I'd shot the first squirrel, and I said, "I'll just wait," because someone come through with some dogs. And I said, "I'll just wait till the squirrels come back out of the holes and run up in the trees in the holes and hid." Now, I said, "When they come out... I'll set here and wait." Because it was real cold and frosty, and ears a-burning, and, you know, the--the keen winds coming through the hollows. I said, "I'll just wait till the squirrels come back out."

L-34 No more than set down, until the Holy Spirit said, "Rise, and go up in the place that you call Sportsman's Hollow,' there I'll speak with you."
And I went up into this place that I named "Sportsman's Hollow." Because the reason I named those hollows myself, so I'd know where I was at. "Sportsman's Hollow" was because they had... I went in there and saw sixteen squirrels setting on one tree, shot the limit, left the rest of them there, went away (and that's the sport, the thing to do); so then I call it Sportsman's Hollow.
And He referred to me, "The place that you called 'Sportsman's Hollow,'" not that He called it, but I called it that.
Then I went up at the head of that hollow and set down under a white oak tree and waited about a half hour; nothing happened. I laid myself on the ground, prostrated myself on the ground, laid my hands out. Then He spoke to me.
And when He did, the Words that He revealed to me on this very Scripture that we're coming to this morning, I'd never seen it before in all my life.
And then when I got to Shreveport, Louisiana, a woman, who is a gifted woman, her name is Mrs. Shrader...
