<TITLE>13. Par 45-47</TITLE>L-45 Let me ask you Catholic people something. What about your--your saints? What about Joan of Arc. You were so infallible. What did your priests do to that woman? She was a prophetess. She saw visions. She prayed for the sick, and they were healed. And what did your church do? You burned her to the stake as a witch. Oh, of course, you seen your mistake a hundred and fifty years later, and you done repentance: dig up them priests' body and throw it in the river. That's a lot of repentance. It goes right over the head of the wise and prudent, until it's past; and then they're already in judgment.
Let me say to you, church, the true Holy Spirit is here in this nation tonight in this world tonight. Don't you let it pass over your head. Recognize it now. Healing's here for you, the Holy Spirit, forgiveness of sins; all the benefits of Calvary is for you. Don't pass it by. Don't close yourself in on some denominational doctrine and forget to look at the Bible, and see if this isn't the day that we're supposed to see these things. Don't notice a bunch of illiterate preachers, maybe like myself, who's trying to explain it, but look at what the Bible says and watch what it does.

L-46 If it's the Spirit of God it'll act like the Spirit of God. It'll do the things the Spirit of God did. If it doesn't, then it's not the Spirit of God. If I preached the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that Jesus was raised from the dead, and God doesn't confirm that with the same works that Jesus did, then I'm a liar. But if I--if I preach that message and God turns around and does the same thing; if I don't even have a grammar school education what difference does that make? It's God using something. He can use a stick if He wants to. He can use anything He wishes. He's God.
Now, let's let one more testify, will you? It must've been brother Matthew said, "I know it's getting a little late, brethren. But let's let me testify." Said, "Do you remember when we got down in Jericho that day, you remember that little brother Zacchaeus down there? He was a businessman, a tax collector. We always thought he was a little shyster (Excuse that expression. I didn't mean it that way.), just a little renegade. But you know our sister Rebekah, she was a believer on Him. She believed the Lord Jesus. And you remember how she asked all the women to pray down in Jericho, when we heard that Jesus was going down to hold a campaign?"
And when He got down there in Jericho... Little Zacchaeus told us later, you know. One morning he got up early. He knowed Jesus was coming, so he went down there. And he was a little bitty short fellow. So he stood up to the gate where He was to come in, at the south gate. And he noticed he was too little. He couldn't see Him. He said, "Whenever I see that fellow, I'm going to give that holy-roller a piece of my mind."

L-47 Remember, He was called a heretic. He was called an insane person. "We know that you're mad, and have a devil." Is that right? What does "mad" mean? "Crazy." "We know that you're a Samaritan; you're crazy, got a devil on you. That's what's doing all these things. You're a devil and mad. You don't join our organizations, so we know you're a devil." Now, that spirit still lives.
Now, we notice that he said, "I'll just wait. Rabbi Lavinsky... I hope there's not a Rabbi Lavinsky here.
