<TITLE>19. Par 72-75</TITLE>L-72 Little did those Egyptian slaves know, when they stood on the bank after seeing a great revival that that prophet came down and brought to them, and they'd seen the mighty hand of God, and they'd been pro--protected and come out there; and dancing in the Spirit after they crossed through the Red Sea and seeing their enemies drowned behind them (all their habits, and things, like we'd call today, drowned behind them) the things that torment them; and Miriam dancing in the Spirit, and Moses singing in the Spirit, and so forth; little did they know that when they was only about ten days from the promised land, knowing that they were forty years away from it... Why? Because they refused to follow God. They wanted a law instead of grace. And they got it; so they could make their own way and have their own so-and-so. Man's always tried to do something by himself. And God let every one of them perish in the wilderness, and raised up a new generation and took them to the promised land.

L-73 Little did the Pentecostal church know of forty or fifty years ago, when you were dancing in the Spirit, them old, long-haired mothers with long dresses on, that their daughters would ever be Hollywood queens, as they try to be today.
Little did they know, when men of integrity, and godly men who would die for that Word, stand under gunfire and everything else, called "holy-roller," throwed in jail; stood on the street corner, run off of one corner, be on the other one, bringing the Gospel, that their sons would even permit such a thing to come; to bring your churches into a place like the rest of the denominations.
Now, they're wandering. For forty years they've been. But there's a new one coming up. "God will restore," saith God, somebody that will walk in the Spirit, bring the truth, and tell the truth. Joshua, Jehovah-Saviour, led them across Jordan.

L-74 Now, brother, sister, Christ lives today. He is not dead. If He's dead, then our religion's in vain. He rose again, is alive forevermore. He only come death because He could take away sin. It was Emmanuel.
When He went up the mountain, the bee of death humming around Him, knowing He was going to sting Him, little did they think that He was... Little did Satan believe He was a prophet. Why, that mockery, put a rag around His face, and spit in His face, and hit Him on the head with a reed, and said, "If you are a prophet, tell us who hit you?" See? "If thou art the Son of God, turn these stones to bread." See? Old Pharisee standing there said, "If he was a prophet, he'd know what kind of a woman that was washing his feet," like He didn't know. See?

L-75 When He seen Simon and called his name, and told him, "Your name is Simon. You're the son of Jonas," that predestinated seed of God come to life that quick. When Philip went and got Nathanael and brought him up there, He said, "Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom there's no guile."
He said, "Rabbi, when did You know me?"
Said, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the tree, I knew you."
He said, "Rabbi, You're the Son of God, the King of Israel." They knowed that was Messiahic sign. That's right. That was God's provided way for them to see Him.
