<TITLE>14. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 Oh, yes. He's blowing with his poison breath right into the Pentecostal church. I know many Pentecostal people that's done give up the thoughts of Divine healing. Sure, they don't believe it. I went to a Pentecostal church not long ago to have some seats. We had an armory, and thousands were standing outside. And I went down and asked this Pentecostal brother, he had about five hundred seats. I said, "Could I rent them from you, brother?"
He said, "To holding that healing service?"
I said, "Yes, sir."
He said, "I wouldn't let a person set on my seats that believed in Divine healing." There you are. That's Pentecost. Don't you laugh at the Baptists.
His poison breath... You've went off too much on denominational ends, went off on big things, trying to fashion after Hollywood, trying to do things like they do here on the west coast, or any other coast, trying to fashion after the world. He saw you without it, hatched out of a bunch of schools somewhere, a bunch of incubator preachers. That's right.

L-46 I always felt sorry for an incubator chicken. It just, "Chirp, chirp" and didn't have any mammy. That's the way we turn out preachers today, by degrees of psychology. Our great, famous Pentecostal movement, now before a missionary can go overseas--a great movement of Pentecost--they have to go before a psychiatrist to see if their intellect is right. You're backslid when you get that. Right. Who is our intellect? It's the Holy Ghost, Jesus. But we have that--we take them before doctors, psychiatrists, men of the world, to find out if their intellectual is powerful enough to be a missionary. Huh. Oh, my.
The poison winds is sure blowing. It's got the church to a place, you can't tell Pentecostal people no more from anyone else. They all look just about alike. Go around, our women wearing batty old clothes, and a lot of our brethren go out there and you see them standing on the street telling jokes that, oh, drunken sailors wouldn't tell. You see them down there, two or three different wives, living in the church, and making them deacons and everything else. And go out and act just like the world. You don't hear the old fashion prayer meetings no more, and the calling out on God. It's all forgotten. It's all past. You see? I'm afraid we went off without Him. Don't you think so?

L-47 We had a war, and a lot of money flowed in, and money begin to flow from everywhere. And I think we went off after big buildings, and big denominations, and big things; and we left Him alone. That's right.
Then it come to a place that all hopes was gone. She was just about to sink. (Wish I could linger on this a little while, but I promised not.) Beating around in them waves, they were just about gone. But you know, I got this comfort to tell you: He hadn't left too far. You know what He done? He knowed that was coming to pass. He knowed they was going to get in that condition, and then He knowed you was going to get in that condition. Sure.
What did He do? So that He could watch them, He climbed the highest mountain there was in the country. Higher up you go, farther you can see. And He climbed up the top of the mountain, and He'd been up there on top of the mountain watching them out there rowing.
