<TITLE>18. Par 206-218</TITLE>L-206 Notice, at Pentecost, their bodies were quickened to a new Life. Look at a bunch of little cowards.

L-207 Am I holding you too long? [Congregation says, "No."--Ed.] Look, I'm just warmed up, that's it, feeling good. Oh, my!

L-208   Notice, they were coward. Notice. But, they had the Mechanics. See? But they were all setting back in there, saying, "Oh, I'm afraid of them. Oh, I'm afraid to go out and make a claim, 'cause, oh, all them great big bishops and things out there. Oh, I'm afraid to. Them priests and things, I'm afraid to make that claim, afraid I'll say I believed on Him. Oh, I just can't do that, you see."

L-209 But, all of a sudden, the Dynamics come. Yes. And what did It do? It not only filled their spirit, inside, but It quickened their mechanics. Their bodies were quickened. They were no more cowards. They went right out in the face of the people. Yes, sir. "You men of Judaea, and you that dwell in Jerusalem!" Where, before the Dynamics come, they were just mechanics. See? "Ye men that dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known unto you, and hearken to my words! These are not drunk, as you suppose."

L-210 I'm one of them. This is That! I'll show you what it is. It's the Scripture. This is That! And I've always said, "If this ain't That, let me keep this till That comes."

L-211 "No, this is That that was spoken of by the prophet Joel, 'and it'll come to pass in the last days, saith God, I'll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh.'" See, the Dynamics come into the mechanics. They wasn't afraid no more.

L-212   Some of you people that are afraid that some woman will laugh at you for having long hair, or quit wearing makeup; some of you man that's afraid your organization will throw you out when you baptize your congregation in Scriptural baptism; you need to close yourself in the upper room till the Dynamics come. That's right.

L-213 It changed them. It quickened them. It made them different. They were a changed people, from then on. It quickened them, from an old life of being a coward, to like the Lion of the tribe of Judah. They absolutely faced martyrdom, nailed to crosses, crucified upside-down, burnt, throwed in the lions' den. No more cowards, about them. Death had no victory over them, at all. The Dynamics was in the mechanics. Yes, sir. It quickened their mortal body.

L-214   Now listen. Here is another thing, for proof. It so quickened them in such a way till (you know what?) they was lifted up in Heavenly places, and their mortal bodies was so quickened till their language changed. It only... It quickened their language. That's what the Bible said. And, their mortal bodies being quickened, their language was quickened. Their thoughts were quickened. Their spirits were quickened. Their life were quickened. They were quickened, altogether! They tried to talk, and couldn't talk in any more human languages. They was so quickened up in the Presence of God till they spoke in new tongue, a Heavenly language. Whew! What a quickening Power!

L-215   "If the Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you," oh, hallelujah, "It will quicken your mortal body." It'll make you do things you didn't do before. They was full of quickening Power then. See?

L-216 Your body ain't subject to sin no more; you, your desires.
He say, "Come on out here!"
You say, "Shut your mouth."
"Oh, we got the biggest..."
"Shut your mouth." My, you're a eagle!

L-217 Did you ever see how independent an old eagle walks? He don't hop like a vulture, see, to every dead, and all the carrion laying on the ground. No, sir. He walks proud.
"Shut your mouth."
"Oh, here is a good dinner over here."

L-218 "Not for me. See, my desires has changed. My appetite is different. 'For man shall not live on the world a carrion alone, but by every Word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" A genuine quickened eagle lives by That. Amen!
