<TITLE>11. Par 68-71</TITLE>L-68 And then along come Pentecost. And as science of the world was able to achieve a--a automobile motor (the Wright Brothers that created or made, manufactured, rather, the airplane) the flying machine was far above the car on the earth, because he took to the air. Now, the Wright Brothers, through their achievement, was able to take science and pattern something here on earth to show that there was a great spiritual thing fixing to happen. And when the Wright Brothers was able to achieve to get a man's feet off the ground, Pentecost fell and took to the air with a spiritual gift, with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He took to the air (Oh, hallelujah.), got his feet off the ground so he could--he could swim around, got up in the air. Oh, how far he was above the horse and buggy, how far he was above the automobile! He was up in the air. He was knocking and puffing and banging, but he was flying. See, what man achieves on earth, for they're made of things which do not appear. God was able to achieve something by a Spirit-filled people who were hungering and thirsting, and those that would stay with the Word.

L-69 Now, if Wesley hadn't have stepped out on the Word and got a bad name behind him, was called a crazy man, and everything else, he'd have never been able to achieve. But Wesley was one of God's great scientists. Luther was one of God's great scientists. They didn't care what the churches said, what the organizations said. Luther didn't care what the Catholics said; he believed the just shall live by faith (Hallelujah.), and he took God's chemicals of the Word and put it together, and the church moved by faith. Wesley put it together by the Blood, and proved it by the Blood, and the church got sanctified. The Pentecostals believed that the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that the promise is to you and your children and them that's far off, and they put the chemicals together out of the Word, and they moved it into the air. Hallelujah. They moved out, because they were able to be able to accomplish such.

L-70 Now, why did these men do this? Why did Luther find it? Why did Wesley find it. Why did these others? Because the material was laying here on earth that could make a T-model Ford. There was electricity that could make a--a car to run. There was gasoline in the earth; there was pistons and so forth, all the mechanics, carbon for the generator, and everything they had to have to create this stuff, and notice it started--manufacture it, rather, not create it. God's the Creator; He had it laying here. But men who believed it in the scientific realm of the natural, probed into it, and they wouldn't take "no" for an answer. They believed it. It was a revelation in their heart, and they stayed with it until they proved that it was right.

L-71 That's how that John Wesley proved sanctification. The--the material was laying here, the Word of God that brought it. He believed it. No matter if the whole church, the Anglican church and all turned him down, he stayed with his conviction and he proved it. And the Pentecostals come around and proved, because they had the material, that the Holy Ghost was right. And they took to the air.
