<TITLE>19. Par 69-72</TITLE>L-69 Back to a Pentecostal inheritance. Yes, sir. That's your possession. Denomination's not your possession. Pentecost is your possession. Not a Pentecostal organization, your fathers come out of such a thing. The Pentecostal experience is your possession.
Examine ourselves. The sounding of the trumpet. "What kind of a trumpet?" The Word, God's trumpet, the Holy Ghost in the Word.
Oh, the poet really expressed it right when he said:
Nations are breaking,
Israel's awakening,
The signs that the prophets foretold;
The gentile days numbered,
With horrors encumbered;
Return, O dispersed to your own.
The day of redemption is near.
Men's hearts are failing for fear;
Be filled with the Spirit,
Your lamps trimmed and clear.

L-70 Today, we have preachers, ethical, educated, fine scholars, turned out, can stand up and never move, never mess up a hair, never sweat a drop, and just stand there and speak, and, oh, give the articles of the church and everything just so pretty for fifteen minutes while you're sleeping; go on back home. And you call yourselves Pentecostals.
Brother, we need an old rugged backwoods preacher that'll come out with a pair of overalls on and hit the pulpit (Hallelujah.), anointed with the power of God. He won't preach five minutes till the Spirit will take the church, and it's gone the rest of the night up into the heavenlies. It's eagles. They won't peck around on barnyard stuff; they go on up into the heavenlies for their food.

L-71 The sounding of the trumpet. Yes, sir, return, dispersed. But if you've sold your inheritance, if you sold out and done these things... What am I saying? Return back. If you joined up with some cult that tries to keep you away from fellowship with other brethren, leave the thing. This is jubilee. Amen. I feel religious. Return. Return. This is jubilee. Don't let it pass by. Remember, don't let it pass by.
If you've sold out, if you've went out in the world, if you've sinned, you knowed that you once had the experience, you went and joined up where you can't fellowship with the rest of them, you done all these things... I don't care what you've done, if you're a son, you have a right to return now because it's jubilee. It's jubilee time.

L-72 But if you settled back into a wall somewhere, put your name down and anchored, got all chickenized, there isn't going to be much happen to you, 'cause you'll never hear it. You'll walk out and say, "Well, I guess it was all right. I've heard that before." See? Go home, sleep it off, get up the next morning.
But conviction, you don't sleep off. The Word of God, you can't shake off. If you're an eagle, you've caught something.
This sounds sacrilegious, and I hope it don't mean it that way to you, but I--I don't mean it myself.
Like the farmer set the hen, he'd had--didn't have... Well, he had enough eggs to set her, lacking one; he put an eagle egg under it. When that little eagle was born, it was the funniest looking thing amongst them chickens you ever seen. He's a odd bird all right. So he... The old hen would cluck and she'd eat, and nearly anything. And that little fellow, that wasn't a diet for him. He just--he just couldn't stand it. And he'd hear that clucking of the hen. What does that mean? We got pie suppers, socials, dances, buncos. See? He's a eagle; he just couldn't understand that stuff.
