<TITLE>20. Par 72-75</TITLE>L-72 This is the truth, brother. Back... This is the way back. Don't tamper with the prescription. Take it. Believe it. Be filled with the Holy Ghost. It's for every generation.
Look, the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Every person, this prescription's to. It's not a handshake or something. But the prescription, exactly the way Peter spoke it here and wrote it out, and God wrote it by the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:38, is to repent every one of you, not just say, "Well, repent? Now, well, I'm going up and join the church." That doesn't mean that.
"Well, I'll go up and be baptized, and that'll do it." No, sir. Water don't save you. Repent or perish. Not baptism to regeneration, I know some of you believe that. But how can you ever take that? No, sir. Repent.
The prescription said repentance come first. Then be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins. After you've repented then you're a candidate for the baptism of the Holy Ghost. And the promise is unto you, and your children, to them that's far off.

L-73 Oh, you Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterian, Nazarenes, Pilgrim Holiness, Catholics, Pentecostals, what's the matter? What's the matter?
When God comes down to speak in His power and glory, then you'll wonder where it's all about. That's the reason you got these creeds and things, and injected these dogmas and things, till it's way off. Children, come back. That's the way back. Take the prescription. Get rid of this sin disease, this unbelief. Come back to God. Believe it with all your heart. Let us pray.

L-74 I believe You, Lord. I come with this church tonight. I believe, Lord, with as honest a hearted people as I've ever met. I pray, Lord, that they will not think that we say these things within ourselves. May they find out that it's a burden, a heartache to have to say these things. But yet, a true physician will be true to his prescription. Lord, may it be filled in every heart tonight.
If people in here has only received the baptism of John, as Paul found them, may they realize that there is another baptism, that there is a Holy Spirit baptism. If only thing they know is shaking a hand of a minister, or joining a creed, may they be filled with Your Holy Spirit. Grant it, Lord.
May they come humbly, and have this privilege, and come back to Azusa Street again, come all the way back to Pentecost again, to the Kingdom and the glory of God. I offer them to You before Your golden altar, where our Sacrifice, Jesus Christ, lays. Receive us, Father.

L-75 You are God. You was always God. You'll always be God. Your Words cannot fail. When You stood here incarnate on earth in Your own Son, a tabernacle that You built to dwell in, how that blinds people. Well, doesn't a carpenter build himself a house to live in? Did not God, the great Builder, build Himself a house to live in?
O God, let them see that it's not the house; it's what's in the house--the builder of the house. And may they realize that this Holy Spirit, through the death, burial, and resurrection of that House that God lived in, through that unadulterated Blood of His own creation, cleansed the way that God might dwell in the heart of we sinners by grace.
Now, you carry on your work through Your church, through the instrumentality of man, which has always been Your way of doing it. God, may men and women here tonight, down in their hearts, hunger and thirst. We're in jubilee time. We're celebrating, Lord, this week of jubilee of Your great grace and holiness that You poured out upon Your church fifty years ago, here in this state.
And Father God, this is jubilee time, and the people know how to come back. It's the way they started out the first time. Come back to the Holy Spirit. Come back to rejecting these dogmas that denomination has injected into it. Come back and be healed of the power of God. Grant it, Father.
