<TITLE>09. Par 27-30</TITLE>L-27 Man... One of our Pentecostal brethren was at a meeting where another little brother had come in and told his daughter she was dying with cancer. Well, he flew her in. I went into the room. We set her there in a case of emergency, and watched the Lord. I seen her... This has been awhile ago, and I seen her packing two children. "Why," I said, "you're not dying. You ain't got no cancer. Now, you just take... I'll pay for it. Go to a specialist and have an examination. (See?) You haven't got no cancer."
So you see, it's... And he spoke in the Name of the Lord. This boy did the same. What is it? It's enthusiasm, emotion. And in doing that, don't you realize that that puts a smother across the--the people's face, that they don't know what to believe? Be sure what you're talking about.

L-28 This day of falling away, and being that it is fallen to that, the people are losing concern. Remember, the tree is growing on, just the same. As Joel said, "I will restore." Many of you that takes the tapes, and I wished you'd get that "Bride Tree" message. See? Yet It was cut down. And the main Tree, Christ, was cut down. He was the Tree of Life that come from the garden of Eden and was hung on a--a cruel, Roman made tree.
But that same Tree of Life that He was--that a man eats of this and don't die--He was bringing up a Bride. And when that Bride come forth from the Holy Spirit, what taken place? It was cut off by Roman Catholicism in a denomination. But Joel promised that It would restore again.
It started out again out of the stump in the days of Luther. What did he do? Organize it. Cut off again, pruned it. The Tree growed on. It went into Wesley. What happened? Organized, pruned. The master of the vineyard cut the limbs off. They died. Show me one time that an organization ever come back again. They're pruned.
Along come Pentecost, another branch coming out of it. What happened? Organized, pruned, cut off again. But remember, down in the heart of that stump, it--it'll bring forth a genuine Bride. "I will restore," saith God. And where does the tree--the fruit of it get ripe first? Is in the top. Why? It's closer to the sun. I better get away from that now. We get back on this other.

L-29 Falling away, no concern... I can see the people's idea, and I wanted to talk on this because this is our Sunday school, and... when just the... Our one church met together here--two churches, two groups but the same people, so I--I could explain this.
There's a falling away, and it--and the falling away has brought an unconcern. What do they do today? It seems to be, since the Azusa Street and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that the only thing that's important in the church is to get membership, more members, take in anything. And we use the doctrine of they had to speak with tongues to have the Holy Ghost. And many of the brethren got people down, and had them to say some word back and forth (glory, glory, glory) till they got a confusion of language. If they'd just set still till the Holy Spirit come...

L-30 Now, I believe you speak with tongues too. I believe it. But if you've got the real genuine Holy Spirit speaking in tongues, you know what? The Life of Christ will follow in you. Now, I've seen witch doctors speak in tongues. I've seen all kinds of things (being a missionary), drinking blood from a human skull, and speak in tongues, and call on the devil.
My old mother just died a few months ago was a half Indian. And I've been in their camps, and I've seen them wrap a snake around them like that, and have the corn dance, and speak in tongues and lay a pencil down, and it'd write in unknown tongues and it interpret it.
So, see, there's no sensation that you could place on the Holy Ghost. It's by their fruit you shall know them. Now, that don't cut away speaking in tongues, and that don't cut away shouting; that cuts away... Your life bears record, yourself. It tells you what--what it is, your--your life speaking for it.
