<TITLE>18. Par 135-141</TITLE>L-135   Is the Pentecostal church, the General Council, the Assemblies of God, the Church of God, all the rest of you, willing to pay the price? Are you willing to say, "Once more, Lord! Here I stand. I didn't have the audacity, the very Christian spirit to shake hands with my oneness brother, or my trinitarian brother. I didn't have the audacity to do it. I didn't have the grace to do it, when I see where it's got me to, broke up in organizations and disfellowshipping, with a congregation so poisoned against one another that they hardly speak to each other on the street, when, we're molded into one clay, by the Holy Ghost"?

L-136   Are you willing to cry out, "Once more, Lord, let it happen"? If you are, God will sure hear your prayer. Watch when that man, with all that fiber standing there, his great regime, but he was still blind. He knowed the price, he knowed the possibility, and he said, "Once more, Lord! Once more avenge me of my eyesight!" When he made that prayer, God answered it. Every fiber of his body begin to tighten up, the Spirit begin to come on those muscles. Oh, if we could have the Spirit that come on our Wednesday night prayer meeting, on our Sunday school, feel the fibers of the muscles of God's power tightening up, where the Holy Spirit can come in. Not in a mockery, but in a genuine Spirit to reveal the secret of the heart and to straighten up the sin that's in there, cast out the evil.

L-137   As his fibers begin to tighten, "Let me die with them! I was born to destroy them, let me die with them." And his fibers, his muscles tightened up, his great huge muscles received strength, the Holy Spirit begin to move upon him, and he twisted that rock with his mighty power, and down she went. All we need is a sincere prayer, "Once more, Lord!"

L-138 When we ought to be in the Promised Land, we're still wandering around in the wilderness. Like Israel, wanted a law, something they could do. You can't do nothing about it. Accept Christ! We wanted a doctrine, something that we could puff up ourselves by, and get a different class of people from the other fellow. See where we got? Blinded. All right.

L-139   Down went the great denomination. It's always been that way when God comes in, the other things fall. Then was Samson's greatest victory. Oh, I wish I could see the Church of the living God stand tonight, "Once more, Lord! Once more, send us a revival, if it costs me everything. If it costs everything I got, send me a revival. Send it upon me, Lord." Hear this group of about three hundred people, or more, here tonight, cry out with one voice, "Lord God, once more let me see Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let me know that He's near me. Let me know that He's here to take care of me. I am willing now."

L-140   Oh, give over, the whole enemy was destroyed. Pentecostals stands at that post tonight. Things that you were born to destroy, taken it over. Repent, call aloud, "Lord, once more, once more let us see it!"

L-141 Let me say this, my friend. You better destroy your enemy before your enemy destroys you. Bring back the old-fashioned prayer meeting. Old fashioned repentance, when they stayed to the altar until they was dead and finished with sin. You never seen a woman go to the altar and die out to sin, and next day come back with bobbed hair, paint on her face. There's no such. The Holy Spirit teaches, nature does, nature of the Holy Spirit. You never seen women going out and dressing sexy; come in and try to cover themselves up. You never seen man that was afraid to stand up and afraid his little wife would leave him or something another, because he took the initiative. Well, man were man in them days. They spoke, they were man, they governed their house. They were the head of the house. But this fancy American...
