<TITLE>12. Par 41-43</TITLE>L-41 In Kingston, Jamaica, at the racetrack last year where the Lord was blessing, they had a Pentecostal minister there. And I was with the Christian Business Men. And I said, "We had from Cuba, from Haiti, and from the islands around, businessmen setting there last night. And what did you fellows..." I said, "I'm ashamed of you. What did you talk about? A fleet of Cadillacs."
"I was a little bitty fellow in business down on the corner. Glory to God. Hallelujah. The Lord give me this, and the Lord blessed this, and the Lord blessed that."
I said, "Them men set and looked at one another." I said, "I've been with you long enough, 'till you know I knew their hearts. The Lord let me know it. I seen what they was thinking about. What are you telling them? They belong to these big formal morgues, and they're prosperous; they're billionaires."
I said, "How different you are? Always bragging about what you got, and how much you accumulated in this much time." I said, "How different it is from the original Pentecost. They sold everything they had and give to the poor." I said, "You vice versa'd it. Them people knows all about what it means to be rich. They want to find something that satisfies and got some Life in it."

L-42 That night on the ground, the place where I was talking to, the men, after I got them over there and was telling them about it, a little fellow walked up to me and he said, "How wrong you were."
I said, "Wrong?"
He said, "Yes, sir, when you made that statement about the Pentecostals back there, how the people sold all they had." Said, "That was the worst thing they ever done."
I thought, "How worldly can you get." See?
And he said, "That's the worst..."
I said, "Then you mean to tell me that the Holy Ghost made a mistake? What kind of a God are you serving if He makes mistakes? He's infinite, omnipotent, omniscient." Amen. Sure. How can He make a mistake?
He said, "I'll prove it to you they were wrong. That wasn't the Holy Ghost."
I said, "A act of the Holy Ghost in the Bible wasn't the Holy Ghost?"
He said, "Look."
I thought, "All right. You--you brought yourself out here. Now, just saw your own limb off."

L-43 Just like putting a rabbit in a pen: if you know where every place is, and every hole is stopped up, and he's got to come back here to get out, just stay right here. He will have to come back to it. He will put his head in every hole, but he will never get through. Just pen him up. Stay right here. That's the way with one of them. Just keep moving with the Word. Just take the Word in front of you, keep moving. You got every hole stopped up out there anyhow. See? Just keep moving on, moving up.
I said, "Then the Holy Ghost made a mistake?"
He said, "Well, them people made a mistake."
I said, "They were inspired by the Holy Ghost."
He said, "Look, preacher. When the persecution come, and the fuss come up among them," said, "that wasn't the Holy Ghost."
I said, "No, sir. But the Holy Ghost was in the first move."
He said, "When the persecution come up, those people didn't even have a home to go to."
I said, "That's just what God wanted them to do. So they went everywhere preaching the Word. If they'd had a home, they'd have went back to it. But God was scattering the message. (Amen.) They got a home in heaven." See?
