<TITLE>16. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 Where is the doctor back here, where it was quoted awhile ago, "I am with you always, even to the end of the earth." And I'm convinced He's here. He said He would be here. "Where two or more are gathered in My Name, I'll be in their midst." If that isn't so, then the rest of it isn't so. It's all right, or it's all wrong.
I believe it's every Word right. I believe He's here now. I believe the same Holy Ghost that fell on the day of Pentecost is in Chicago tonight. I hold part of it in my heart, and I'm convinced that it's the same Holy Ghost, the same thing. That makes me concerned about getting this message to my brother or sister somewhere, my Baptist brother, my Methodist brother, my Catholic brother, wherever they are.

L-54 I'm convinced that this is God, and I'm convinced that Jesus is coming. I'm convinced that this is His first appearing in the form of the Holy Ghost in the last days, because the prophet said, "It shall be Light in the evening time." I'm convinced that the Scripture's fulfilled. I'm convinced. I am convinced that the world's on the threshold of destruction, the world order, cosmos. But I do... I'm convinced that the coming of the Lord is at hand. I'm convinced that what we have is the Holy Ghost.
I'm convinced that Chicago has been shook, not the cannon fodder out here, these buildings, and up and down the street these women dressed immorally, and these men carrying on, drunks and carry... I going to church, and taking old light bread, loaf bread, making kosher out of it; I don't believe in that stuff. Belching whiskey and stuff on their breath, and then go out and take communion and their name on some church book, and call themselves a Christian; I don't believe that.
I believe the church of Jesus Christ is a called out group that's been sanctified by the Blood of Jesus Christ, and set aside for service. I believe this thing that we see doing is the appearing of the Lord Jesus in our midst, as He said.

L-55 Remember, in the days of Sodom that was a Man standing there that could eat and drink. But it was God in the Man, showing that God would appear in the last days in the form of human flesh in His Church, which is His Bride. And they'd do the same things He did. Amen. I believe it.
Someone said, "You're crazy, preacher."
"Well," I said, "leave me alone then. I'm happier this way than I was the other." All right.
They were convinced. They were convinced that all they needed was Jesus, and they were convinced that all the people needed was Jesus.

L-56 What do we do in Africa? Here sits an Afrikaans man here. We go over there and teach them fellows reading, writing, and arithmetic. What do we do? Send them down there, and what do they become? A two child fold--more child of hell than they was to start with. They got their own tribal sins, and when they come in they take the white man's sins. That's right. Makes him worse than he ever was... Out in the compounds, and so forth... That's right.
Why, he's a murderer; he becomes a raper; he's everything else. He drinks the white man's whiskey; he takes his own sins. When he's out in the tribe, if he done something like that, he'd be put to death for it. That's right. Why, he don't need education; he needs salvation. He needs the power of the resurrection to change that heart...?... Amen. That's right. Yes, sir.
