<TITLE>23. Par 183-190</TITLE>L-183   I've seen jumping spells, and joy spells, but there was nobody hurt. The mountains rung out, and they... the sun went down, and everything took place, but there was nobody hurt. And I've seen meetings where the power of God was revealed to the people that they "were free from the world and the things of the world," and the joy of the Lord filled the congregation. They stood and screamed, and cried, and shouted to the top of their voice, for the glory of God. I never did see anything disorderly, they was always right in order; because they had recognized that, their name that had been written on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. The great Prophet-shepherd had brought them the Message, and they were delivered, the Prophet-shepherd. No matter what the other ecclesiastical realms said about It, they knew what had happened. Just as them shepherds did back there, they knowed what took place.

L-184   No man has a right to enter the sacred desk to preach the Word until he has did as Moses did, meet God, himself, upon grounds where that there's no theologian can explain It away. Moses was there! No matter how Israel's messengers said, "oh, it was a nonsense, you just imagined you saw this; it's nonsense," you couldn't take That away from him, he knowed! He was there! He was the one it happened to! And no man by a--a theological degree or some doctor's degree has a right behind the pulpit, to claim the Message of Jesus Christ, until he's first met God face to face in the Pillar of Fire. He has no right to call himself a messenger, 'cause all the theologians in the world couldn't explain That away from you. It happened to you! You were there, you know about It. Care what anybody else says, or how much they can say, "the days is gone, it isn't so," you... it happened to you, and it's according to the Word.

L-185   Yes, that's the reason Moses knew this Voice had spoke to him, was a Word Voice. He knowed that God had told Abraham, "Your seed shall sojourn for four hundred years, but I will deliver them." And he knowed the four hundred years was up and he was called to do it.

L-186 Man and women, God promised in this last days that He'd pour out His Spirit upon all flesh. He promised He'd send the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, and He'd call a Bride without spot or wrinkle. He promised to do it, He'll do it. Don't listen to these hireling shepherds, they'll lead you astray. The Holy Spirit is the Shepherd to feed you sheep food from this Word. It always comes by the Shepherd. He is our Shepherd. Listen to Him, you are the sheep of His fold; if you are, you hear His Voice. Not what somebody else says, you hear what He says. A strange voice, you know nothing about it.

L-187   Oh, my, listen to the Mighty Shepherd-prophet again interpreting and introducing to them. John, when he stood in the river of Jordan, look what he said. Was standing there preaching, he said, "The hour is coming..."

L-188 Notice, John was a priest's son. They always followed the--the line of their father, that's the way we got our names. By whatever they did, they called them that. And John was supposed to be a priest like his father.

L-189 And, you know, this mother, when she had been conceived, after the Angel of the Lord met his father Zacharias, and went home to Elisabeth, and she was already six months in... to be mother. But she had had no life yet, she was scared 'cause the baby hadn't moved. That's subnormal.

L-190   And the Holy Ghost, the Angel of the Lord appeared to Mary, and told her that she was "going to have a baby, knowing no man," and told her about Elisabeth's condition.
