<TITLE>18. Par 64-66</TITLE>L-64 "Oh, you're just all upset. Well, you better go on back to your--your work because you haven't... There ain't no such thing as that Holy Ghost."
"You don't know what you're talking about. I've had a hold of El-Shaddai. Amen. Amen, I know where I'm standing." Every devil could stand and throw fire in his face. He still wouldn't doubt it. He'd go right into the fiery furnace like the Hebrew children. Why? He's the seed of Abraham. No matter how long it takes, and he's been prayed for, anointed with oil, or whatever the way he went through, he accepted; somehow faith give him that he believes he's going to be healed. He's going to be healed. That's all there is to it. He believes he's going into the rapture; nothing can stop it. He believes the Holy Ghost is in him, because he sees the literal signs of the Holy Ghost. You just might as well quit talking to him. You can just teach him... You can teach him all the theology in the world; he wouldn't do it, because... He wouldn't believe you, 'cause he knows what the Bible says. He knows that he's got a hold of Something that's real. That's when God gave...

L-65 Now, just see what He done to Abraham? Justification: Justification to his Church, His seed. Sanctification through Wesley that great messenger: Sanctification, too. Pentecost through there: Pentecost through here. See? Pentecost nursing, bringing...
How many understands that when He was El-Shaddai, that He gave His own strength into Abraham. He never done nothing but made him promises, promises, but here He's emptying Himself out into Abraham, literally. How many knows that? That was the Holy Ghost. Justification's what you believe. Sanctification is what the Blood did for you. You're sanctified by believing. But when you're filled with the Holy Ghost, it is the Person of the Holy Ghost Himself, oh, the Person, not imagination, not some kind of psychology, but the Person of the Holy Ghost.
And to you, my Christian Science brother, and you that don't believe the Holy Ghost as a Person, "he" is a personal pronoun.
The Bible said, "When He the Holy Ghost has come, He will testify of Me." He is a Person not a thought.
He nursed, not from the articles and from the promises, but He had now the literal Life of God flowing into him. That's what the Pentecostal age done. Now, what did he become then? A son. Amen.
Now, in the Old Testament we know... Now, we got just about fifteen more minutes.

L-66 We know in the Old Testament what happened? In the Old Testament there was such a thing as the son being born in a home. Now, be sure you get this. Are you hearing? Say, "Amen." [Congregation says, "Amen"--Ed.] I know you think I'm crazy this afternoon, or maybe all the time, but I want you to get it. Now watch, what He did.
When a man was borned, or a child born into a family, he was borned a son? Is that right? But he had no inheritance yet. He had to be tutored. That right? Now, when you receive the Holy Ghost... There's where the Pentecost made a great mistake. Said, "Glory to God, we got it. That's all there is to it." No, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
In the Bible when a baby was borned on a man's farm, he went around and hired the best tutor he could find. I'll tell you a beautiful display of it, is the 17th chapter of Saint Matthew's, the Mount of Transfiguration, if you want to put that down and read it. How God did His own Son just exactly like... God don't... He has to keep His own laws. He can't defile His own laws or break His own laws. He can't be God and just and do it. And He has to keep them to be just, and holy, and righteous. Notice what He did now.
