<TITLE>15. Par 143-150</TITLE>L-143 Any real good scientist, good doctor that finds a disease, some of them will go over to a prison camp and get some man to try it out, that's going to have life in prison. If he survives the inoculation, why, then the poison don't kill him, he can go free if he's ready to take the inoculation. Prisoners wait for that. Oh, that's a doctor that's afraid of his medicine.

L-144   But, you know, God wasn't afraid of His Own medicine. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... in a manger, a man standing on the banks of the Jordan. When the inoculation fell down there, he seen it like a dove coming down from Heaven, and He was inoculated. And a Voice said, "This is My beloved Son in whom I'm pleased to dwell in." Amen. God in man. That's the inoculation. God in man. The world watched Him. Every temptation, He stood it. When they spit in His face, pulled the beard out and spit on Him, It stood the temptation. In the hours of trial, it stood the temptation. It held! The inoculation that He received at Jordan, it held. It held in the time of popularity.

L-145   What's the matter with a lot of--of churches today, God will bless them, they get started... And that's what's hurting our Pentecostal people. They, they ought to be back like our grandfathers was, with a tin pan or a tambourine, down on the corner somewhere, beating a tambourine; than it would be laying these big morgues that we're building today, trying to fashion after other people. What we need is a good old-fashion outpouring of the Holy Ghost, that will clean you up, including you pastors of the Pentecostal church. That's right.

L-146 Now, the thing of it was, that when the Holy Spirit came down upon Jesus, at the day of His baptism, He was inoculated. We've watched Him in the hour of trial. When the devil tried to give Him all the kingdoms of the world, what did He do? He stayed right with the Word. Amen.

L-147   What I'm wondering today, that many brethren out on the field since this last-day revival... Why is it, when you get a few nickels or a change of clothes, you're too big to go somewhere, too, oh, something another, and you have to have something bigger than the other one? It's become a regular rat race. It's a shame. God wants man that will humble himself, and get down there into a place, somebody He can speak to. But it's become such a rat race, everybody is trying to get something bigger than the other fellow. It's a... And, see, they can't stand that prestige of the temptation of Satan.

L-148   But our Lord stood the temptation. The inoculation held. When the time come, there was a debate on the Scripture, He stayed exactly with the Word. Satan said, "It's written."
He said, "It's also written." Oh, it's... Glory! God in man, see.

L-149 What did He have? He had something with Him to back up every word He said. He said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then don't believe Me. But if you can't believe Me, believe--believe the works that He does through Me." Oh, my! There you are.

L-150   What we need is men and women like that, today, that can shut the mouth of the world, by the signs of the Holy Ghost. We need a camp meeting like that. We need a turning upside down, a shaking out, a lot of the world and things out of the church, that's come in in these last days. Money is scattering out through the country, and big things, that's got the people's minds on big things instead of on God. Compromising, compromising with the Scripture! Any brother who started out on that way, but they get popular in some organization, compromise on what he believed.
