<TITLE>09. Par 58-62</TITLE>L-58 Look, little did Israel know when they was standing out there on the bank, a-shouting... Now, you say, "This kind of religion is something new." Why, it's the oldest there is. Sure. Even before the world was ever made, they were shouting and praising God. God said so, asked Job, "Where was he when the--when the morning stars sang together and the sons of God shouted for joy." That's before the world was ever created.

L-59 But now look at Israel, had seen miracles. That's the early Pentecost: Israel, the Pentecost of that day. Now, they had been brought up out of Egypt. God had blessed them, give them all kinds of great signs and wonders, and delivered them. And when they stood upon that bank and had a Pentecostal meeting... They did. Now, listen. Moses sang in the Spirit, and Miriam took a tambourine and run down the bank, beating this tambourine, dancing in the Spirit; and the daughters of Israel followed her, dancing in the Spirit. And if that ain't a Pentecostal meeting, I never seen one.
Little did they believe that the--the promised land was forty years ahead of them. It was only about forty miles. But it take them forty years to get forty miles is because they chose the wrong thing. They chose to have a law instead of letting the Holy Spirit lead them, the Pillar of Fire take them on through and lead them. They wanted to have something to do themselves; they wanted to have certain priests, and certain dignitaries, and a little theology they could fuss about, instead of just going on and letting the Holy Ghost lead them. They were in the Spirit; God had provided everything; but they had to have something to do into it.

L-60 Just like hybriding again. Let the cow alone. Let the horse alone. Let the food alone. They... Science claimed in "Reader's Digest," the article of it, if they keep on hybriding food, and people eats it... Like chickens, they got that poor chicken till he ain't got no wings or legs. And if it lays, it lays itself dead; it can only live a year. And the tissue's so soft you can't hardly eat it. And people eating it, it's perverting people. That's right.
You know, homosexual is on the increase about forty percent in the United States over the year ago. And did you know that science claims that women are getting wider in the shoulders and narrow in the hips, and men are getting narrow in the shoulders and wider in the hips? You're eating a perverted seed; you're eating perverted stuff. Your body was made to thrive on the natural thing. And what's it doing? It's changing even the natural course of men and women, till Hollywood, even our government, and everything is full of perverts. What's he doing? They're bringing it on themselves by their own tree of knowledge, killing themselves.

L-62 Go back to the beginning. Let nature alone. Let God alone. Keep the church in the Holy Ghost. And get away from all these bishops and popes and all kinds of doctrines. Go back to where we started at. Go back. Jesus would come right... You say "I'm a Methodist."
He'd say, "It wasn't so from the beginning."
"I'm Presbyterian."
"It wasn't so from the beginning." What was at the beginning? A Pentecostal experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost. That's the way it begin.
See, we had to pervert it. Oh, it makes prettier. Sure. That little church standing out there dancing and shouting; and down on the street, and people throwing rocks at them, making fun of them, and everything like that. That ain't very pretty, "But now we got the great "Doxology," and the Apostles' Creed, and, oh, Doctor Ph.D., L.L., double L.D. So-and-so for our pastor." And come out and "aaaaamen," like a calf with the cramps, and go on like that, all those kind of things.
Excuse me, I didn't--I didn't mean to say that. Forgive me; I didn't mean to say that like that. See? I didn't mean that. That ain't becoming to a servant of God.
