<TITLE>12. Par 56-60</TITLE>L-56 After while he seen that didn't go with God's people, just like Saul trying to put his ecclesiastical vest on David, a man of God: it didn't fit him. And an intellectual message don't fit a Spirit-filled church. They've got to have the power of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation. Jesus said these signs will follow them. They got to have it.
And then the man found out that it didn't take with the Pentecostal people. He folded up his books and come down with his head drooped.
An old saint setting over in the corner come told me later, said, "If he would've went up the way he come down, he'd have come down the way he went up." So that's about the way it is today.
What we need is back to the Holy Ghost, back to the Bible, back to the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and not all this here reasonings, and intellectuals, and so forth.

L-57 Certainly they found that it held. It held in the hour of death; it held in the hour of Gethsemane; it held in all those things. Then He died. He died, as I said last night, until everything declared He was dead. The moon, sun, and stars, the earth, the earthquakes, everything proved He was dead. The sun went down in the middle of the day.
The Roman soldiers said, "Truly that was the Son of God."
Judas said, "I betrayed innocent blood."
Pilate said, "Give me some water. Let me wash my hands. I'll have nothing more to do with it."

L-58 He died, and He went with that inoculation, but it was the inoculation of Eternal Life. On the third day it still held. After the prophecies of God was fulfilled, He rose up on the third day alive. The church saw it and rejoiced.
Now, He said, "You got to get inoculated too. But I want you to go up there and wait until you get your inoculations."
That's what's the matter with the people today: they didn't go up and wait for their inoculation. They went to the seminary and got their B. A. instead of going for inoculation, going up and get some of the balm of Gilead injected into their veins of their soul. That's right.

L-59 They went up there on the day of Pentecost. They were all assembled together. They believed He'd raised from the dead. They'd talked with Him, and He promised He would send down a whole lot of that inoculation. And while they were all assembled together, the balm begin to fall upon them, and cloven tongues set upon them like fire. They were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and run in the outside and begin to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
There was a man who a few days before had denied Jesus, stood up on a soap box, or a stump, and said, "You men of Judaea, and to you that dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known unto you and hearken to my words. These are not drunk as you suppose, seeing it is the third hour of the day, but this is that inoculation that was to come, that He would inoculate from sin, from sickness, from death, from the grave, unto Eternal Life."

L-60 They seen it had worked on Jesus when they were pricked in their hearts, and they said to them, "Men and brethren, what can we do?"
Now, they had a doctor there. His name was Dr. Simon Peter. They had a physician, and they had plenty of inoculations, proving it. They was all drunk on it. They had really received it in a big way.
And they had Dr. Simon Peter there. He said, "Now, just a minute. If you want to know how to be inoculated, I'm going to give you a prescription. And don't you fool with it. You just keep it, because it's going to be for you and to your children, to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
