<TITLE>09. Par 20-23</TITLE>L-20 And then, when he confessed Him to be the Son of God, and confessed that he--his future torment, Jesus said, "Hold your peace, but come out of him." And He delivered that man of those legions of devils. And those devils went over and they got... If they're not embodied, they're--they're seem to be helpless. So they went over and got in a bunch of hogs and went down, two thousand hogs, and drown in the sea.
And you know what? Jesus come over to hold a revival, but when those people realized it was going to cost them two thousand hogs, they didn't want the revival. So if it's going to cost them anything, they don't want nothing to do with it. So that--that's about the way it is today, you know. If it's going to cost you a few hours sleep or--or something another, the people don't want to do nothing with it, you know.
And so they said... Well, they--they... Instead of having the revival, they come out, the people of the city, and said, "Leave our country. We never... We don't want You over here. Just get on out. We..."

L-21 And you know, and Jesus looked around to the man was in his right mind, and had clothes on... If... You know, I always thought there, I--I better not start on that. If--if you see, that man, he started putting on clothes when he met Jesus. And how is it, we claim we know Him, and taking them off all the time? So there's... And that's a...
They say, "We're crazy for preaching such things as that." But I don't know. The man that had--was naked was the one was crazy, according to the Bible. So and when he found Jesus, went putting his clothes back on again. So--so we find out that...

L-22 I've often wondered, when I get up to heaven, I want to find that man. And I--I want to go over. Jesus wouldn't let him follow Him. He said, "You go on back and show the people there what's happened to you." And I just wonder what--what weight his testimony had on hog raising in that country after that. I--I just wonder what his testimony had, what weight it had over there.
But they didn't want Him. So I'll say one thing. If you don't want Him, He won't bore you with Himself. No, no. He won't push Hisself on you. He never did. He knocks. You're on the inside. You're the one opens the door. But He will knock. He will give you the opportunity.

L-23 So then, oh, they said, "We don't want You. I don't care how many You can deliver, and how, what, who sent You over here. If God sent You over here, what about it, we just don't want any of that kind of stuff going over here, around, our... You get our people all confused. So You just get back where You belong."
He said, "All right." Right on back He went and got in the boat.
It must have been along about ten o'clock in the morning. Our little brother Jairus, he was a--he was a believer. He--he actually was a believer, but he was kind of a secret believer. And you now, we got a whole lot of those out here in these Methodist, Baptist, and Presbyterian churches. They really believe this message of Pentecost. They do. But they just can't do it on account of their church.
So Jairus said... He was a secret believer; outwardly he had joined himself up with a bunch of unbelievers. And so, that's the way a many a good man is tonight: joined up with unbelievers. And the Bible said, "Do not be unequally yoked together. Don't yoke yourself up amongst unbelievers. Come out from amongst the unbelievers, and separate yourself," saith God, "and I will receive you. Touch not their unclean thing. And I'll be God to you, and you'll be sons and daughters unto Me."
