Thank you, thank you, thank you.
And I want you to know if you'd
lived and died and you'd never had seen
Catherine Kuhman, you wouldn't have missed a thing.
So sit down.
God bless you.
Oh, you know, I've had a very great
privilege from so-called businessmen to invite me
to be one of their guest speakers.
I've been with these businessmen a long time.
It's been years, hasn't it?
Several years I've been with you, and it
still proves that the men need the women.
Everybody's talking about the outer coast in which
we're living.
The uncertainty of the future is on the
lips of men and women everywhere.
I don't care where you go, west coast,
east coast.
I don't care where you are in the
world.
I don't know whether the man will be
a politician, or just the businessman, or the
man on the street.
I don't care who the person is, on
his lips and in his mind is the
uncertainty of the future.
If you really want to know what the
future holds, then, my friend, turn to the
Word of God.
It's all in the Word, where the faith
of the world is standing on the threshold
of the greatest suffering it has ever known.
The Bible speaks of it as not only
troubles, but tribulation.
Tribulation the world has never known, no generation
has ever known the suffering, the tribulation that's
just in the future.
It's happening that quickly.
Nations of men on a chessboard.
This is the hour when God has described
it as having hooks in the jaws of
the nations.
There's no greater, really great world rule on
this thing.
But if you want to know how the
nations are going to shape up for that
loss and grand and fatal battle, all you
have to do is to read the thirty
-eighth chapter of the book of Revelation.
It's all there.
It is no secret.
If some of you want to go to
a real school, start reading the Bible.
And this generation shall not pass away until
all these things be fulfilled.
I'm not a seer, I'm not a prophetess,
but I believe the Word of God.
And I've spent my very life on it.
It's your culture there.
The only restraining force that's left in the
world today for good is the power of
the Holy Spirit.
That's the only restraining power there is.
I don't want to be here one five
minutes.
He is the only restraining force in this
world today.
All the forces.
And think what it's going to be like
when the Holy Spirit is taken out.
When Jesus Christ came to this earth in
the form of flesh, he spake everything of
this mighty, strong, personal Trinity.
I mean everything.
Because he knew he would be as much
man as though he were not God.
He knew he would stand face-to-face
with temptation.
He knew the hour would come when he'd
stand face-to-face with the evil.
And before he went away, the very last
thing that he did, he made provision that
you and I should not be defeated on
a single score.
If you're a part of this great body
of believers, you do not have to go
down in defeat from one split second.
I do not have to go down in
defeat from one split second.
Heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ
Jesus.
In this great auditorium, greater is he that
is within us than he that is in
the world.
Do you know, do you really know what
it means?
All I know is that great ecstasy of
being filled with the Holy Spirit.
I know we're in a great charismatic world
convention here today.
You'll have great moments of ecstasy.
And there'll never be a greater experience of
emotion in your life than when you receive
the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
That's all there is, my friend.
Do you know the experience of having yielded
your will to the will of the Father?
Not some of self in some of thee,
but none of self in all of thee.
I feel that glorious unknowing of the Holy
Ghost, that provision that he has made for
every one of his children.
When he'll take the most ordinary, he doesn't
ask for golden vessels, he doesn't ask for
silver vessels, he asks for yielded vessels.
And he'll take the most ordinary person.
I don't care who that one might be.
He'll give you a wisdom beyond the wisdom
of man.
He'll give you a cup.
He'll give you a crown.
If you could stand alone, arrayed against all
the forces of hell, and you stand as
strengthened, and you feel like a giant, not
to me.
A drawing on unseen resources.
I haven't been speaking to you about something
that's imaginary.
I've been speaking to you about something that's
the most real thing that can happen to
any individual.
You wonder why this great coming out among
the Catholics, the Protestants.
They're coming out, the non-believers.
They're coming out from every nation, something is
happening.
Something is happening.
I pray that before this great convention is
over with, you come to the full revelation
that something is happening.
Something glorious is happening, and all the forces
of hell will not be able to stop
it.
I don't care what your unbelief might be.
I don't care what your theology may be.
I want to go on record as saying
to you, the forces of hell will not
stop this great outpouring of the Holy Ghost.
