<TITLE>22. Par 93-97</TITLE>L-93 The Holy Ghost is the power of God that sinks into your heart as a witness of the Spirit. You're borned again; your life is cleaned up; the world's dead, and all the stink of it. It is like the garlic in Egypt. See? You're far away from it. You're a new creature in Christ Jesus. Old things has passed away. You become a new altogether, a new creation, borned of the Spirit. Yes, sir.

L-94 Your whole members of your body submissive to His Spirit, and you're moving in the Holy Ghost, and not listening to the sound of the world. Your eyes are on heavenly things. That--that's--that's when you've really--if God's a-vindicating the thing. But as long as you still got the world and want to say, "Well, now, they do this, and they do that. I presume that they got it." They--they might have it. I don't know what they got, but it ain't This I'm talking about. That's exactly right 'cause...?... That's one thing true, 'cause it makes do. Yes, sir.

L-95 Say, can you imagine a person having the Holy Ghost and denying part of God's Word, taking half of It and saying the other half's no good? See? So, "I believe a man ought to live a pretty good life. But when we come to a time of thinking about Divine healing, and all this stuff like that, and abstaining, and oh, we have to be this, that, I don't believe..." Uh-huh.
The Bible said that would come to pass, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. They deny half of His Word, and all of His power. That's right. Yes, sir. That's true. And then they presume they got it. "It's all right." See? Yes, sir.

L-96 A lady... Couple of ladies met one of our sisters coming down here, and she had a little wreck on the road, or hurt a--bursted a plug in her car, or something or another. And some women picked her up from a certain church and... Told her where she come. Said, "Oh, the Lord led us here."
Said, "You're in error."
The Pentecostals in error. You see? So we... Oh, I'd liked to have been there...?...
Stop presuming. Wait until all the temper are gone, the signs of the Bible of your salvation is performing in you. Moses presumed without a actual call that God would surely reveal it to the people. He was going out and take over Egypt down there. He presumed that it was time to do it. But he failed, and miserably failed, and give up the play--give up the whole thought of it, till one day God met him.

L-97 When he met God at the burning bush, he got in the bush and the bush got in him. Then there was a difference. He didn't presume. "Now, I don't know. I believe I'll just kill this Egyptian and hide him down here in the sand, and--and that'll be all." That was another Achan's wedge. You see? See? But when God spoke to him in the burning bush, and he actually seen God, experienced God, and knowed that God was, and heard Him say, "I will surely be with you," that's a--that's a personal call.
Many times people go and say, "I believe I was called to preach the Gospel." See? A man's got no business preaching the Gospel until... Now, I don't care how well he's educated, how well he knows the Bible... The devil knows it better than any of us. That's right. But he can't live it. That's it. He can't live it. See? That's the only advantage you got over him. See? He might know it as well as you do, but he can't live it like you can. Christ died that you could live it (See?), and He never for him.
