00:00:51,870 --> 00:00:53,690 I didn't know this morning that I was 24 00:00:53,690 --> 00:00:55,350 going to speak on the Baptism of the 25 00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:55,570 Holy Spirit. 26 00:00:56,270 --> 00:00:59,550 Someone came up with the question about speaking 27 00:00:59,550 --> 00:01:00,770 in an unknown tongue. 28 00:01:02,010 --> 00:01:03,370 And I said, well, I'll tell you what 29 00:01:03,370 --> 00:01:03,670 I'll do. 30 00:01:04,230 --> 00:01:07,450 In this seminar, before I leave, I'll speak 31 00:01:07,450 --> 00:01:08,730 on the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. 32 00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:12,250 Then I'll answer that question. 33 00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:13,990 He said, when? 34 00:01:17,690 --> 00:01:21,530 And so, we're answering the question this morning. 35 00:01:22,030 --> 00:01:23,730 And I want to say to you, please, 36 00:01:25,230 --> 00:01:28,410 homiletics has nothing to do with you ministers. 37 00:01:32,050 --> 00:01:36,050 Remember, I'm really not a preacher.

believe in women preachers, I don't either. 42 00:01:48,790 --> 00:01:50,430 I don't either. 43 00:01:51,490 --> 00:01:52,970 A woman preacher. 44 00:01:55,550 --> 00:01:57,510 And I don't think anyone ever considers me 45 00:01:57,510 --> 00:01:57,830 a preacher. 46 00:01:57,930 --> 00:02:00,310 When you think about Katharine Kuhlman, I don't 47 00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:04,510 believe anyone ever thinks of me as a 48 00:02:04,510 --> 00:02:04,970 woman preacher. 49 00:02:05,110 --> 00:02:05,810 Not really. 50 00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:08,050 Not really. 51 00:02:08,570 --> 00:02:09,949 I never think of myself as a woman 52 00:02:09,949 --> 00:02:10,270 preacher. 53 00:02:11,810 --> 00:02:12,290 Never. 54 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:16,750 Nobody ever refers to me as Reverend Kuhlman. 55 00:02:17,450 --> 00:02:18,590 Oh, that's the funniest thing. 56 00:02:18,590 --> 00:02:20,470 You never think of me in that light, 57 00:02:20,510 --> 00:02:20,730 do you? 58 00:02:21,350 --> 00:02:21,810 Never. 59 00:02:23,490 --> 00:02:25,430 And I don't think of myself in that 60 00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:26,650 light as a woman preacher. 61 00:02:28,350 --> 00:02:30,530 And you don't think I am, because I 62 00:02:30,530 --> 00:02:31,170 can't preach. 63 00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:34,830 Or that I know that I'm somebody who 64 00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:36,290 loves the Lord with all my heart. 65 00:02:37,170 --> 00:02:39,470 I just love the Lord. 66 00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:40,230 It's so wonderful. 67 00:02:40,730 --> 00:02:43,410 And so again today, if you come here 68 00:02:43,410 --> 00:02:48,810 expecting to hear a sermon, forget all about 69 00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:49,550 homoerotics. 70 00:02:50,090 --> 00:02:51,370 I don't even know what it means. 71 00:02:54,070 --> 00:02:56,990 I'm just here talking to you about the 72 00:02:56,990 --> 00:02:59,150 Lord and my own personal experiences. 73 00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:02,230 And as I talk to you about my 74 00:03:02,230 --> 00:03:06,350 own personal experiences, and the Word of God, 75 00:03:06,790 --> 00:03:08,230 all that I ask of you to do 76 00:03:08,230 --> 00:03:10,890 is to sit there with an open heart 77 00:03:10,890 --> 00:03:12,110 and open mind. 78 00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:15,970 No matter what your preconceived ideas have been, 79 00:03:15,970 --> 00:03:18,450 all that I ask of you for the 80 00:03:18,450 --> 00:03:20,410 next hour is to just sit there with 81 00:03:20,410 --> 00:03:22,310 an open heart and open mind. 82 00:03:26,260 --> 00:03:28,660 Your theology may be changed. 83 00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:32,720 And the biggest person in the world is 84 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,540 that somebody who will say, I was wrong. 85 00:03:38,100 --> 00:03:39,380 I was wrong. 86 00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:41,860 Maybe you're like the Jewish gentleman, a very 87 00:03:41,860 --> 00:03:45,520 influential, perhaps one of the most influential, Jewish 88 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,900 gentleman in the city of Portland, Oregon. 89 00:03:49,660 --> 00:03:51,680 A Mr. Stern, Jerome Stern. 90 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,300 Began watching our telecast. 91 00:03:54,380 --> 00:03:55,520 Very influential. 92 00:03:56,860 --> 00:03:58,740 He was influential in raising all the money 93 00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:04,520 for the new, beautiful synagogue in Portland, Oregon. 94 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,700 Everybody knows Jerome Stern. 95 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:08,800 Began watching our telecast. 96 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,500 And then he flew to Pittsburgh. 97 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,080 He and his wife were on their way 98 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:13,640 to New York. 99 00:04:15,260 --> 00:04:16,500 He was in the service. 100 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,079 After the service, he spent hours talking to 101 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:20,800 me about the Messiah. 102 00:04:22,660 --> 00:04:25,500 And then he came to the Shrine of 103 00:04:25,500 --> 00:04:26,480 the Atonement in Los Angeles. 104 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,400 And this is something that he said. 105 00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:33,900 After that, the Holy Spirit had revealed to 106 00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:37,840 him that Jesus is the true Messiah. 107 00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:41,080 Those were the most pitiful things. 108 00:04:41,900 --> 00:04:42,920 He has three children. 109 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,660 The oldest child is his son. 110 00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,760 A son, seventeen, eighteen years of age. 111 00:04:50,580 --> 00:04:54,260 And he said to me, Miss Goldman, I 112 00:04:54,260 --> 00:04:55,160 see it. 113 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,600 I see it all now. 114 00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:03,560 I know that Jesus is the true Messiah. 115 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,180 But the hardest thing for me to do 116 00:05:08,180 --> 00:05:12,360 right now is to call my children in, 117 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,280 is to look in the face of my 118 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:23,240 oldest son and remember they're taught to believe, 119 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:27,960 to respect the word of their parent. 120 00:05:29,740 --> 00:05:33,440 And in accepting this wonderful experience, I'm going 121 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,400 to have to say to my son, Son, 122 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:39,520 your father was wrong all these years. 123 00:05:42,180 --> 00:05:45,880 Your father was wrong all of these years. 124 00:05:47,180 --> 00:05:52,360 I taught you that when Jesus came in 125 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,460 the flesh, he was not the true Messiah. 126 00:05:55,500 --> 00:05:58,200 I have to tell you now that I 127 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,180 was wrong. 128 00:05:59,180 --> 00:06:03,260 He was the very Son of the Living 129 00:06:03,260 --> 00:06:03,980 God. 130 00:06:06,690 --> 00:06:08,270 Sit there with an open heart. 131 00:06:10,350 --> 00:06:18,130 I pray, wonderful Jesus, please, somehow take every 132 00:06:18,130 --> 00:06:21,650 person in this place, every minister in this 133 00:06:21,650 --> 00:06:27,070 place, every church leader in this place, and 134 00:06:27,070 --> 00:06:29,150 just kind of turn them upside down for 135 00:06:29,150 --> 00:06:32,090 one hour until we shake all of our 136 00:06:32,090 --> 00:06:36,770 preconceived ideas out and then turn us right 137 00:06:36,770 --> 00:06:38,890 side up again and let the Holy Spirit 138 00:06:38,890 --> 00:06:40,430 speak to our hearts, I pray. 139 00:06:41,850 --> 00:06:45,150 As little children we come, willing to be 140 00:06:45,150 --> 00:06:45,590 taught. 141 00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:49,130 For Jesus' sake we ask this. 142 00:06:50,650 --> 00:06:51,010 Amen. 143 00:06:55,130 --> 00:06:59,170 The wonderful Holy Spirit is a person. 144 00:06:59,370 --> 00:07:01,830 Remember, he has all the attributes of personality. 145 00:07:02,830 --> 00:07:07,510 You must consider this before you'll understand the 146 00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:08,690 work of the Holy Spirit. 147 00:07:12,430 --> 00:07:14,730 Before I begin on the work of the 148 00:07:14,730 --> 00:07:16,210 Holy Spirit, remember something. 149 00:07:17,550 --> 00:07:19,050 Never forget it. 150 00:07:20,870 --> 00:07:24,630 It is the blood that maketh an atonement 151 00:07:24,630 --> 00:07:25,470 for the soul. 152 00:07:27,170 --> 00:07:30,730 The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, you 153 00:07:30,730 --> 00:07:32,790 and I may differ on all the doctrinal 154 00:07:32,790 --> 00:07:33,330 truths. 155 00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:36,410 You may not see eye to eye with 156 00:07:36,410 --> 00:07:37,550 me when it comes to the work of 157 00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:38,030 the Holy Spirit. 158 00:07:38,390 --> 00:07:40,230 You may not see eye to eye with 159 00:07:40,230 --> 00:07:41,750 me when it comes to divine healing. 160 00:07:43,530 --> 00:07:45,470 You may not see eye to eye with 161 00:07:45,470 --> 00:07:46,910 me when it comes to the great catching 162 00:07:46,910 --> 00:07:47,950 up the wrath of the church. 163 00:07:47,950 --> 00:07:50,490 The second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. 164 00:07:52,730 --> 00:07:57,550 But if you've had that new birth experience, 165 00:07:58,250 --> 00:08:01,890 if you've been born again, and you've been 166 00:08:01,890 --> 00:08:05,970 born into this body of Christ, then you're 167 00:08:05,970 --> 00:08:07,730 my brother and my sister. 168 00:08:09,350 --> 00:08:10,970 Please, you must understand that. 169 00:08:12,190 --> 00:08:13,470 Please understand it. 170 00:08:15,030 --> 00:08:19,030 There are literally millions of God's precious children 171 00:08:19,030 --> 00:08:23,230 who lived and died, who were not baptized 172 00:08:23,230 --> 00:08:26,490 with the Holy Spirit, but they're in heaven 173 00:08:26,490 --> 00:08:27,090 today. 174 00:08:30,990 --> 00:08:33,070 We have the Word and we must stay 175 00:08:33,070 --> 00:08:33,830 with the Word. 176 00:08:34,150 --> 00:08:34,770 How many understand? 177 00:08:34,950 --> 00:08:35,409 Put your hands. 178 00:08:36,309 --> 00:08:41,750 And don't let anyone tell you that you 179 00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:43,630 have to be filled with the Holy Spirit. 180 00:08:44,490 --> 00:08:48,450 This wonderful experience, the baptism with the Holy 181 00:08:48,450 --> 00:08:54,450 Spirit, one of the most beautiful, the greatest 182 00:08:54,450 --> 00:08:57,190 thing that can come into your life after 183 00:08:57,190 --> 00:08:58,450 you've been born again. 184 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:06,980 It follows, this experience follows one's salvation, one's 185 00:09:06,980 --> 00:09:07,580 conversion. 186 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,240 Know that. 187 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,800 Therefore, I must make a very clear deal. 188 00:09:13,780 --> 00:09:17,700 The baptism with the Holy Spirit has nothing 189 00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:21,520 to do whatsoever with your salvation. 190 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,620 If you've been born again, I repeat it 191 00:09:26,620 --> 00:09:30,660 to make it very clear, that new birth 192 00:09:30,660 --> 00:09:34,740 experience where literally all things have passed away 193 00:09:34,740 --> 00:09:36,040 and you have become a new creature in 194 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:36,840 Christ Jesus. 195 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,760 That's the most important experience of any individual's 196 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,020 life. 197 00:09:44,180 --> 00:09:46,240 And the baptism with the Holy Spirit has 198 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:50,260 nothing to do with your salvation. 199 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,100 All right, the Holy Spirit person must recognize 200 00:09:54,100 --> 00:09:54,580 this. 201 00:09:55,360 --> 00:10:05,180 For He has intellect, emotion, will, all 202 00:10:05,180 --> 00:10:10,820 the attributes that characterize personality. 203 00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:13,940 Oh, you don't know what you're missing. 204 00:10:13,940 --> 00:10:15,840 Whenever you think of the Holy Spirit as 205 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,580 just an influence, oh, please, when you think 206 00:10:19,580 --> 00:10:21,840 of the Holy Spirit as just a mystery, 207 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,740 you don't know what you're missing. 208 00:10:23,900 --> 00:10:24,760 You don't know. 209 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,180 There's something about Him when you get acquainted 210 00:10:28,180 --> 00:10:28,700 with Him. 211 00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:34,850 When you get acquainted with Him, He becomes 212 00:10:34,850 --> 00:10:37,510 a very living part of you, a vital 213 00:10:37,510 --> 00:10:38,510 part of you. 214 00:10:41,030 --> 00:10:43,970 You've just started to live. 215 00:10:43,970 --> 00:10:45,210 Just started. 216 00:10:47,010 --> 00:10:48,230 And the Holy Spirit is not a new 217 00:10:48,230 --> 00:10:50,690 personality just having come upon the scene. 218 00:10:51,730 --> 00:10:55,690 Sometimes I think in the last days when 219 00:10:56,690 --> 00:11:01,150 thousands of Roman Catholics are just becoming acquainted 220 00:11:01,150 --> 00:11:05,930 with the Holy Spirit, when literally thousands of 221 00:11:05,930 --> 00:11:11,390 our denomination church people, hundreds of our ministers 222 00:11:11,390 --> 00:11:12,670 are just coming into the light of the 223 00:11:12,670 --> 00:11:14,910 Holy Spirit, being filled with the Holy Spirit. 224 00:11:16,510 --> 00:11:18,410 We get the idea that the Holy Spirit 225 00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:21,110 is just a new personality having come on 226 00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:21,650 the scene. 227 00:11:23,050 --> 00:11:25,130 He's not a new personality. 228 00:11:26,510 --> 00:11:27,290 He's not. 229 00:11:28,690 --> 00:11:30,510 He was there at the time of creation. 230 00:11:31,870 --> 00:11:33,750 All three persons were there. 231 00:11:37,300 --> 00:11:41,880 And the Spirit of God moved upon the 232 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:42,600 waters. 233 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,760 And whenever a word speaks of the Spirit 234 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,480 of God, it's the Holy Spirit. 235 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:54,140 The Old Testament saints knew of the power 236 00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:55,220 of the Holy Spirit. 237 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,120 All Moses knew of the power of the 238 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:01,820 Holy Ghost. 239 00:12:03,740 --> 00:12:06,280 Read it there in Numbers. 240 00:12:06,460 --> 00:12:07,560 Read it. 241 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,940 And when the Seventy were chosen, it's in 242 00:12:13,940 --> 00:12:17,960 the eleventh chapter of Numbers, when the Seventy 243 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,640 were chosen to help Moses, in the sovereignty 244 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,780 of God, God had not only filled Moses 245 00:12:27,780 --> 00:12:30,860 with the Holy Spirit, but He also came 246 00:12:30,860 --> 00:12:35,980 upon the Seventy to work with him. 247 00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:43,240 In the building of the tabernacle, God, in 248 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,420 His sovereignty, came upon those who helped to 249 00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:52,580 build the tabernacle. 250 00:12:54,620 --> 00:12:57,120 Gideon knew the Holy Spirit. 251 00:12:58,980 --> 00:13:01,040 How do you think, when you read the 252 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,180 Old Testament, in the power that was on 253 00:13:03,180 --> 00:13:05,000 some of these Old Testament saints, what was 254 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:05,240 it? 255 00:13:07,260 --> 00:13:09,840 The secret was the power of the Ghost. 256 00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:12,980 But in the Old Testament, it was the 257 00:13:12,980 --> 00:13:14,780 sovereignty of God. 258 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:21,940 Not all of the Old Testament saints were 259 00:13:21,940 --> 00:13:23,440 filled with the Holy Ghost. 260 00:13:26,420 --> 00:13:27,200 Remember that. 261 00:13:28,060 --> 00:13:30,720 Whenever they were filled with the Holy Spirit, 262 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,720 it was the sovereignty of God. 263 00:13:40,090 --> 00:13:44,070 Joseph was filled with the Holy Spirit. 264 00:13:46,090 --> 00:13:50,630 And Pharaoh recognized the power of the Holy 265 00:13:50,630 --> 00:13:53,830 Spirit upon Joseph. 266 00:13:55,870 --> 00:13:59,770 He was no stranger to the Old Testament 267 00:13:59,770 --> 00:14:00,550 saints. 268 00:14:02,610 --> 00:14:04,810 Read your Bible again in the light of 269 00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:05,150 this. 270 00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:06,930 It will be most revealing. 271 00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:10,770 And that's what I said yesterday. 272 00:14:11,610 --> 00:14:15,190 There's such a difference between religion and Christianity. 273 00:14:17,410 --> 00:14:20,910 Christianity is revealing, and the Holy Spirit is 274 00:14:20,910 --> 00:14:22,630 the great revealer. 275 00:14:24,510 --> 00:14:28,530 The Old Testament prophets knew the power of 276 00:14:28,530 --> 00:14:29,210 the Holy Ghost. 277 00:14:31,070 --> 00:14:34,450 If we were to call the Old Testament 278 00:14:34,450 --> 00:14:41,970 prophets here in this auditorium this morning, they 279 00:14:41,970 --> 00:14:45,990 could bear witness to the very power of 280 00:14:45,990 --> 00:14:47,470 the one of whom I am speaking. 281 00:14:49,530 --> 00:14:54,250 But always it was the sovereignty of God. 282 00:14:54,350 --> 00:14:55,090 Know that. 283 00:14:57,410 --> 00:14:58,330 David knew. 284 00:15:00,370 --> 00:15:06,110 How well David knew of the person of 285 00:15:06,110 --> 00:15:06,770 the Holy Spirit. 286 00:15:07,630 --> 00:15:10,550 David had received this wonderful experience. 287 00:15:10,810 --> 00:15:12,230 I would like to know what they called 288 00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:12,610 it then. 289 00:15:12,890 --> 00:15:14,290 I don't think they called it the baptism 290 00:15:14,290 --> 00:15:14,930 of the Holy Spirit. 291 00:15:15,750 --> 00:15:16,670 I don't think they did. 292 00:15:17,810 --> 00:15:23,750 They only knew it was the Holy Spirit. 293 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:33,980 That's the reason, David, the saddest cry we 294 00:15:33,980 --> 00:15:35,580 have in the world of God is the 295 00:15:35,580 --> 00:15:36,580 cry of David. 296 00:15:37,580 --> 00:15:44,800 He cried, Get not thy Holy Spirit from 297 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,360 me. 298 00:15:49,020 --> 00:15:55,080 Get not thy Holy Spirit from me. 299 00:15:56,100 --> 00:16:00,980 The same Holy Spirit that you know, the 300 00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:04,120 same Holy Spirit whose presence is here this 301 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:04,960 very hour. 302 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:13,960 Pray to that prayer ten thousand times. 303 00:16:17,700 --> 00:16:22,980 Take not thy Holy Spirit from me. 304 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,560 Samson knew, that's the reason, the word. 305 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,620 He wished not that the Spirit had departed 306 00:16:33,620 --> 00:16:34,880 from him. 307 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:45,220 He wished not that the Holy Spirit had 308 00:16:45,220 --> 00:16:47,160 departed from him. 309 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,920 It was the power of the Holy Ghost, 310 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,360 the power of the Holy Spirit, in the 311 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,960 life of Samson. 312 00:17:04,900 --> 00:17:11,980 The Holy Spirit had departed, and he tried 313 00:17:11,980 --> 00:17:15,060 to get up and shake himself as other 314 00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:15,960 times. 315 00:17:17,780 --> 00:17:20,900 And I've seen it over and over and 316 00:17:20,900 --> 00:17:22,859 over again, and you've seen it. 317 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,300 And that's the tragedy. 318 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,600 You can say the same words. 319 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,980 You can go through the same action. 320 00:17:34,460 --> 00:17:37,540 But then the Holy Spirit is no longer 321 00:17:37,540 --> 00:17:38,160 there. 322 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,660 When the Holy Spirit no longer does the 323 00:17:41,660 --> 00:17:49,460 shaking, we have fanaticism, and we have manifestations 324 00:17:49,460 --> 00:17:50,700 of the flesh. 325 00:17:52,820 --> 00:17:56,140 That, my friends, is what brings me reproach 326 00:17:56,140 --> 00:17:58,260 on the Holy Spirit. 327 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:06,280 You see, I love him so much, I 328 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:07,380 couldn't do without him. 329 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,000 I couldn't do without the Holy Spirit. 330 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,320 I couldn't. 331 00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:21,910 I'm the most ordinary person in the world. 332 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:26,650 Is there a woman living today who's more 333 00:18:26,650 --> 00:18:30,010 ordinary than the one who's standing before you 334 00:18:30,010 --> 00:18:30,330 now? 335 00:18:30,610 --> 00:18:32,830 I know from whence I've come. 336 00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:34,830 I know. 337 00:18:36,590 --> 00:18:40,650 I know from whence I have come. 338 00:18:43,130 --> 00:18:47,670 A little crossroads of a town in Concordia, 339 00:18:47,750 --> 00:18:48,150 Missouri. 340 00:18:50,190 --> 00:18:53,570 I'm the most unlikely person the whole world 341 00:18:53,570 --> 00:18:54,910 of God would use. 342 00:18:55,490 --> 00:18:56,090 I know. 343 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,640 I know. 344 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:10,960 Power in this ministry, I know better than 345 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:11,760 anyone else. 346 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,580 I know that I have nothing to do 347 00:19:18,580 --> 00:19:20,140 with the power of the Holy Spirit when 348 00:19:20,140 --> 00:19:23,700 this wonderful power in person comes upon men 349 00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:24,980 and women and they're slain. 350 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,820 I know that I have nothing to do 351 00:19:28,820 --> 00:19:29,380 with it. 352 00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:32,860 When men and women are so wonderfully healed 353 00:19:32,860 --> 00:19:35,080 by the power of God, I know better 354 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,080 than anyone else living that I have nothing 355 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:38,940 to do with it. 356 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,500 I'm absolutely dependent on the power of the 357 00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:44,800 Holy Spirit. 358 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,240 That's the reason I can hear the cry 359 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,700 of David when he said, Take not thy 360 00:19:53,700 --> 00:19:54,940 Holy Spirit from me. 361 00:19:55,260 --> 00:19:57,080 David knew the secret of his power. 362 00:19:59,740 --> 00:20:04,380 And I do not want anyone to bring 363 00:20:04,380 --> 00:20:07,820 a reproach on this person who means everything 364 00:20:07,820 --> 00:20:09,640 in the world to me. 365 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,520 He's precious. 366 00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:14,940 He's holy. 367 00:20:17,020 --> 00:20:19,760 I can never put into audible words. 368 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,060 There are no words in the human vocabulary. 369 00:20:24,300 --> 00:20:27,560 Because it is a heavenly language, you can't 370 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:27,920 tell it. 371 00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:29,020 You can't tell it. 372 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,440 What this wonderful Holy Spirit means to me, 373 00:20:32,540 --> 00:20:35,020 this fellowship that I have with Him, this 374 00:20:35,020 --> 00:20:40,420 communion that I have with Him, they almost 375 00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:42,880 have a sense of perfectedness. 376 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,920 And I don't want anyone to bring a 377 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,680 reproach on this one who means so much 378 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,220 to me. 379 00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:54,200 Don't bring a reproach on the Holy Spirit, 380 00:20:54,420 --> 00:20:56,080 please, I beg of you. 381 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,020 I beg of you, please. 382 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,960 So much reproach has been brought on the 383 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,080 Holy Spirit. 384 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:16,700 Such fanaticism is a result of either ignorance 385 00:21:16,700 --> 00:21:20,580 and spiritual ignorance. 386 00:21:20,940 --> 00:21:26,020 It's such a disastrous thing. 387 00:21:30,190 --> 00:21:34,990 Never, never act contrary to the Word of 388 00:21:34,990 --> 00:21:35,370 God. 389 00:21:36,730 --> 00:21:37,290 Never. 390 00:21:39,870 --> 00:21:43,250 If your actions are contrary to the Word 391 00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:47,730 of God, if you cannot back up your 392 00:21:47,730 --> 00:21:50,110 action with the Word of God, then there's 393 00:21:50,110 --> 00:21:52,910 something wrong someplace with your experience. 394 00:21:56,850 --> 00:21:59,850 In other cases, the thing that brings such 395 00:21:59,850 --> 00:22:03,490 reproach on this wonderful person, the Trinity, the 396 00:22:03,490 --> 00:22:08,790 Holy Spirit, the same thing of Samson. 397 00:22:10,010 --> 00:22:14,810 He risked not that the Spirit had departed. 398 00:22:16,910 --> 00:22:22,730 And when they try to shake themselves, and 399 00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:26,030 the flesh enters into it, and there's nothing 400 00:22:26,030 --> 00:22:33,130 more revolting or disgusting than the shaking and 401 00:22:33,130 --> 00:22:36,830 the manifestations of the flesh after that the 402 00:22:36,830 --> 00:22:38,850 Holy Spirit has departed. 403 00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:44,590 I don't care what you experienced twenty-five 404 00:22:44,590 --> 00:22:45,630 years ago. 405 00:22:48,350 --> 00:22:52,170 I don't care what you experienced fifteen years 406 00:22:52,170 --> 00:22:52,710 ago. 407 00:22:54,510 --> 00:22:57,490 Oh, you say, fifteen years ago I was 408 00:22:57,490 --> 00:23:00,570 wonderfully, wonderfully filled with the Holy Spirit. 409 00:23:01,110 --> 00:23:02,890 It was glorious. 410 00:23:03,970 --> 00:23:05,930 And then you relate the experience that you 411 00:23:05,930 --> 00:23:06,430 had. 412 00:23:07,650 --> 00:23:09,390 It was so new to you. 413 00:23:11,890 --> 00:23:13,550 And you walked in the light. 414 00:23:14,690 --> 00:23:15,790 And this explodes. 415 00:23:17,330 --> 00:23:19,670 The Holy Spirit came in. 416 00:23:19,890 --> 00:23:20,650 It was glorious. 417 00:23:22,830 --> 00:23:27,590 But my friend, let me ask you, what 418 00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:29,330 do you have today? 419 00:23:31,210 --> 00:23:34,230 Today, today, today. 420 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,200 Some of you who were filled with the 421 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,860 Holy Spirit twenty years ago, ten years ago, 422 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,020 eight years ago, today you're as wired up 423 00:23:50,020 --> 00:23:52,560 as last year's corn shacks. 424 00:23:59,180 --> 00:24:01,020 And yet you're still trying to go through 425 00:24:01,020 --> 00:24:01,940 the same motions. 426 00:24:04,580 --> 00:24:07,380 You're still trying to go through the same 427 00:24:07,380 --> 00:24:08,140 demonstrations. 428 00:24:09,220 --> 00:24:10,180 The same thing. 429 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,100 But you say, I was baptized with the 430 00:24:15,100 --> 00:24:16,560 Holy Spirit back there. 431 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,460 Remember something. 432 00:24:22,340 --> 00:24:25,200 I too received the baptism with the Holy 433 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:25,640 Spirit. 434 00:24:27,860 --> 00:24:34,570 But there's never a time when I'm in 435 00:24:34,570 --> 00:24:40,750 a great miracle service but what I receive, 436 00:24:40,970 --> 00:24:43,530 a fresh baptism with the Holy Spirit. 437 00:24:44,270 --> 00:24:45,870 A fresh baptism. 438 00:24:46,190 --> 00:24:47,530 A fresh baptism. 439 00:24:48,730 --> 00:24:51,230 A fresh baptism. 440 00:24:57,140 --> 00:25:02,780 Now, when it comes to conversion, remember, when 441 00:25:02,780 --> 00:25:06,040 it comes to the conversion baptism, my friend, 442 00:25:06,420 --> 00:25:08,440 is a definite experience. 443 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,720 It's a definite transaction. 444 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,560 That is it. 445 00:25:13,380 --> 00:25:15,040 You're born again. 446 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:20,220 There's a wonderful new birth experience when you 447 00:25:20,220 --> 00:25:23,320 become a new creature in Christ Jesus. 448 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,600 An heir of God, an adjoined heir with 449 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:29,660 Christ Jesus. 450 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,260 And the mighty Creator becomes your heavenly Father. 451 00:25:35,540 --> 00:25:38,640 You're born into the body of Christ. 452 00:25:40,220 --> 00:25:43,200 That's a definite transaction. 453 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,980 I belong. 454 00:25:52,340 --> 00:25:54,820 He's my heavenly Father. 455 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,940 I'm His by adoption. 456 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,200 And I know to whom I belong. 457 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,280 But when it comes to the Holy Spirit, 458 00:26:09,220 --> 00:26:13,820 it's something that's constant, this fellowship. 459 00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:18,900 This fellowship, this constant communion. 460 00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:25,520 And if you're trying to measure up to 461 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,260 some experience that you receive the way back 462 00:26:29,260 --> 00:26:31,300 there and you say, I got it. 463 00:26:31,380 --> 00:26:32,060 I got it. 464 00:26:34,740 --> 00:26:36,280 I got it. 465 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:41,860 No. 466 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,060 It's a daily communion with Him. 467 00:26:51,420 --> 00:26:52,480 Daily. 468 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,600 Daily. 469 00:26:56,460 --> 00:26:58,700 Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. 470 00:27:00,380 --> 00:27:02,440 All the ministers in this place. 471 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,540 Have you stood before your people with an 472 00:27:08,540 --> 00:27:09,220 anointing? 473 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,180 And did you feel that anointing from the 474 00:27:16,180 --> 00:27:17,900 top of your head to the soles of 475 00:27:17,900 --> 00:27:18,520 your feet? 476 00:27:22,250 --> 00:27:26,910 There's so under the anointing, my brother, that 477 00:27:26,910 --> 00:27:33,470 literally your ears hear what He is speaking 478 00:27:33,470 --> 00:27:34,610 through your mouth. 479 00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:37,910 Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, I 480 00:27:37,910 --> 00:27:38,790 stood there. 481 00:27:40,010 --> 00:27:43,750 And He's taught me as He has spoken 482 00:27:43,750 --> 00:27:46,230 through my lips and my ears have heard. 483 00:27:46,230 --> 00:27:48,570 And I knew it wasn't Catherine Coleman. 484 00:27:49,310 --> 00:27:49,970 I knew. 485 00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:53,910 I knew it wasn't Catherine Coleman. 486 00:27:55,070 --> 00:27:56,470 If you only knew me a little better, 487 00:27:56,590 --> 00:27:58,690 you would understand why I'm so sold on 488 00:27:58,690 --> 00:27:59,330 the Holy Spirit. 489 00:28:00,270 --> 00:28:03,350 I'm so sold on the Holy Spirit, I 490 00:28:03,350 --> 00:28:05,290 do not know how better to say it 491 00:28:05,290 --> 00:28:05,630 to you. 492 00:28:06,590 --> 00:28:09,850 I'm so sold on the Holy Ghost. 493 00:28:18,020 --> 00:28:20,780 It just becomes words. 494 00:28:22,420 --> 00:28:25,640 The choice of words that you speak, my 495 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:26,020 brother. 496 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:33,200 So far as the intellect is concerned, it's 497 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,120 a masterpiece. 498 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,880 But how many were saved? 499 00:28:41,940 --> 00:28:43,820 That was the result. 500 00:28:49,140 --> 00:28:51,340 Was there a supernatural manifestation? 501 00:28:56,140 --> 00:28:59,820 Wherever you find the Holy Ghost, wherever you 502 00:28:59,820 --> 00:29:03,100 find the presence of the Holy Spirit, there 503 00:29:03,100 --> 00:29:05,800 will always be the supernatural. 504 00:29:07,220 --> 00:29:08,080 Always. 505 00:29:08,980 --> 00:29:10,200 Know that. 506 00:29:14,290 --> 00:29:18,350 And the supernatural does not come through a 507 00:29:18,350 --> 00:29:19,510 great organization. 508 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:23,890 Sometimes I think we've organized ourselves the best. 509 00:29:26,690 --> 00:29:27,670 I mean that. 510 00:29:28,510 --> 00:29:32,450 Sometimes I think we're so organized that the 511 00:29:32,450 --> 00:29:33,730 Holy Spirit can't get in. 512 00:29:35,330 --> 00:29:36,590 He can't work. 513 00:29:37,870 --> 00:29:41,610 It will be the greatest day that the 514 00:29:41,610 --> 00:29:42,850 church has ever known. 515 00:29:43,450 --> 00:29:45,890 When the church gets to the place where 516 00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:51,030 it no longer is completely dependent on organization. 517 00:29:57,330 --> 00:29:57,710 Yeah. 518 00:30:02,210 --> 00:30:04,710 The Holy Spirit must have freedom. 519 00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:07,650 The Holy Spirit must have liberty. 520 00:30:11,930 --> 00:30:15,110 And wherever you find the Holy Spirit, you 521 00:30:15,110 --> 00:30:15,470 know. 522 00:30:16,850 --> 00:30:18,450 I'm going to say something, and I hope 523 00:30:18,450 --> 00:30:19,190 that I'm not misconstrued. 524 00:30:20,190 --> 00:30:21,350 I hope I'm not. 525 00:30:22,630 --> 00:30:24,110 What I'm about to say. 526 00:30:25,170 --> 00:30:27,190 I've never seen more holy laughter. 527 00:30:28,550 --> 00:30:29,750 I'll get to that in a few minutes, 528 00:30:29,790 --> 00:30:30,770 but I want to throw this in. 529 00:30:31,610 --> 00:30:36,990 I have never, I've never, in all of 530 00:30:36,990 --> 00:30:43,170 these years, have seen more holy laughter. 531 00:30:43,370 --> 00:30:45,430 And there is such a thing as holy 532 00:30:45,430 --> 00:30:45,970 laughter. 533 00:30:48,810 --> 00:30:50,470 And in miracle services. 534 00:30:53,170 --> 00:30:54,770 Holy laughter. 535 00:30:56,650 --> 00:30:58,330 That's the reason I tell you that this 536 00:30:58,330 --> 00:31:00,630 woman is such a colorful personality. 537 00:31:01,990 --> 00:31:05,710 I'm so glad I had sense enough never 538 00:31:05,710 --> 00:31:07,650 to write a book on theology. 539 00:31:08,250 --> 00:31:08,810 On doctrine. 540 00:31:11,410 --> 00:31:14,490 I'm so glad I've been pressed and pressed 541 00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:17,730 by different publishers who come from New York 542 00:31:17,730 --> 00:31:18,010 City. 543 00:31:18,530 --> 00:31:20,910 And they've asked me to write a book 544 00:31:20,910 --> 00:31:21,890 on doctrine. 545 00:31:23,610 --> 00:31:26,930 Well, I'll tell you, that's one smart thing 546 00:31:26,930 --> 00:31:27,430 I did. 547 00:31:30,470 --> 00:31:33,250 Because you see, had I written a book 548 00:31:33,250 --> 00:31:36,470 on doctrine, about six months later, I'd have 549 00:31:36,470 --> 00:31:38,030 to call them all in and say, I 550 00:31:38,030 --> 00:31:38,650 made a mistake. 551 00:31:42,710 --> 00:31:43,570 That's right. 552 00:31:45,490 --> 00:31:48,370 Because as you watch the Holy Spirit work, 553 00:31:48,690 --> 00:31:54,010 as you watch Him work, He's so colorful. 554 00:31:55,110 --> 00:31:57,310 But He isn't always the same, not really. 555 00:31:58,190 --> 00:32:01,750 You can't put Him in a certain category 556 00:32:01,750 --> 00:32:03,650 and then put a fence around Him. 557 00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:07,130 And that's exactly what we're trying to do 558 00:32:07,130 --> 00:32:08,170 in some of our little circles. 559 00:32:10,150 --> 00:32:12,430 We're trying to fence Him in. 560 00:32:14,410 --> 00:32:17,150 We're trying to put a fence around the 561 00:32:17,150 --> 00:32:17,930 Holy Spirit. 562 00:32:17,930 --> 00:32:22,570 And keep Him in this fence because it's 563 00:32:22,570 --> 00:32:24,110 our idea. 564 00:32:25,650 --> 00:32:29,030 And you believe it thus and so, and 565 00:32:29,030 --> 00:32:31,530 it isn't long before He jumps a fence, 566 00:32:31,770 --> 00:32:34,610 and all that you've got is a fence. 567 00:32:37,930 --> 00:32:39,350 And He's gone. 568 00:32:41,790 --> 00:32:43,250 And He's gone. 569 00:32:49,310 --> 00:32:52,270 So, do you pray the cross for people? 570 00:32:52,830 --> 00:32:59,490 They're dead sure that nothing would ever happen 571 00:32:59,490 --> 00:33:02,750 in a First Methodist Church such as you 572 00:33:02,750 --> 00:33:03,690 saw last night. 573 00:33:09,010 --> 00:33:14,690 Your theology has thrown you that if you 574 00:33:14,690 --> 00:33:17,770 were not filled with the Holy Spirit in 575 00:33:17,770 --> 00:33:20,130 assembly of God's church, then you didn't get 576 00:33:20,130 --> 00:33:20,370 it. 577 00:33:22,810 --> 00:33:23,970 How many know I'm right? 578 00:33:24,050 --> 00:33:24,850 Keep your hands down. 579 00:33:29,530 --> 00:33:35,120 And you say, come to my church. 580 00:33:35,260 --> 00:33:36,020 Come on, come on. 581 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,040 You'll get it. 582 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:37,720 You'll get it. 583 00:33:37,780 --> 00:33:38,380 You'll get it. 584 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,400 Come on to my church. 585 00:33:41,300 --> 00:33:42,060 You'll get it. 586 00:33:42,140 --> 00:33:42,620 You'll get it. 587 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,200 Come on. 588 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,000 You'll never be filled in the First Methodist 589 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,300 Church. 590 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,700 You'll never receive the baptism of the Holy 591 00:33:49,700 --> 00:33:51,180 Spirit in the First Baptist Church. 592 00:33:51,380 --> 00:33:51,700 Never. 593 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:53,640 Never. 594 00:33:56,260 --> 00:33:58,380 You'll never see the supernatural power of the 595 00:33:58,380 --> 00:33:58,740 Holy Spirit. 596 00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:01,460 Never. 597 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,420 In the denominational churches. 598 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,420 The Bible doesn't say that. 599 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,320 And there you are in your own little 600 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:17,800 circle. 601 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:20,100 We have him. 602 00:34:20,980 --> 00:34:22,139 We got him. 603 00:34:29,739 --> 00:34:39,000 And you Methodists, look out, look 604 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:39,820 out. 605 00:34:40,699 --> 00:34:43,239 In these days you may awaken to find 606 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:47,420 out that you are the one from whom 607 00:34:47,420 --> 00:34:48,460 he has departed. 608 00:34:48,460 --> 00:34:48,880 Amen. 609 00:34:51,300 --> 00:34:54,980 He's bigger than denominational lines. 610 00:34:56,940 --> 00:35:01,780 The Holy Spirit is greater than man's idea. 611 00:35:02,420 --> 00:35:05,420 The Holy Ghost is greater than our own 612 00:35:05,420 --> 00:35:06,900 preconceived ideas. 613 00:35:07,720 --> 00:35:08,420 Know that. 614 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,980 When he's so powerful, Jesus knew. 615 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,420 I think of that over and over again. 616 00:35:16,420 --> 00:35:20,900 Who knew the Holy Spirit better than Jesus? 617 00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:21,340 Who? 618 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,440 He'd been with him from the beginning of 619 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,120 time. 620 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,140 Jesus knew him. 621 00:35:31,260 --> 00:35:32,760 Jesus knew his power. 622 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:35,980 And the Holy Ghost is the power of 623 00:35:35,980 --> 00:35:36,500 the Trinity. 624 00:35:39,810 --> 00:35:43,070 Knowing the power of the Ghost is Jesus, 625 00:35:43,150 --> 00:35:43,610 William. 626 00:35:44,790 --> 00:35:48,290 Before Jesus ever offered himself to the Father 627 00:35:48,290 --> 00:35:52,410 to be given, he first of all offered 628 00:35:52,410 --> 00:35:55,930 himself through the Holy Spirit to be given. 629 00:35:57,550 --> 00:35:58,790 For he knew his power. 630 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,640 I'm not talking about something that is just 631 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,280 mediocre. 632 00:36:07,380 --> 00:36:10,380 I'm coming back again to this whole laughter. 633 00:36:13,380 --> 00:36:14,220 It's happening. 634 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:16,760 But you want to know something? 635 00:36:17,660 --> 00:36:23,240 I see it so much among those in 636 00:36:23,240 --> 00:36:27,140 Catholicism who are just coming into the light 637 00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:28,920 of the Holy Spirit. 638 00:36:31,730 --> 00:36:33,830 We've had so much of the Holy laughter 639 00:36:33,830 --> 00:36:34,510 recently. 640 00:36:35,250 --> 00:36:36,290 I watch this. 641 00:36:37,110 --> 00:36:39,010 Like I told you this, all that I 642 00:36:39,010 --> 00:36:42,750 know about the Holy Spirit is I see 643 00:36:42,750 --> 00:36:44,990 him and watch him. 644 00:36:46,030 --> 00:36:47,550 And watch him. 645 00:36:47,930 --> 00:36:49,270 And you get to know him. 646 00:36:50,130 --> 00:36:51,210 You watch his personality. 647 00:36:51,750 --> 00:36:53,210 You know what pleases him. 648 00:36:53,670 --> 00:36:55,110 You know what grieves him. 649 00:36:57,150 --> 00:36:59,010 You just know instantly. 650 00:37:01,490 --> 00:37:02,990 Because you know you're in the presence of 651 00:37:02,990 --> 00:37:05,450 someone that you know so well and you 652 00:37:05,450 --> 00:37:07,130 know when they're grieved. 653 00:37:08,090 --> 00:37:09,610 You know when they're happy. 654 00:37:09,770 --> 00:37:10,930 You know when they're pleased. 655 00:37:12,410 --> 00:37:13,970 I follow him there carefully. 656 00:37:20,410 --> 00:37:25,510 Sometimes I think he's allowed this wonderful Holy 657 00:37:25,510 --> 00:37:31,190 laughter to come through from some of these 658 00:37:31,190 --> 00:37:36,070 precious folk because they have been released from 659 00:37:36,070 --> 00:37:37,870 the bondage they were in. 660 00:37:40,370 --> 00:37:44,630 This bondage, this bondage, this bondage. 661 00:37:45,450 --> 00:37:49,910 You're no longer under bondage when the Holy 662 00:37:49,910 --> 00:37:50,930 Spirit comes in. 663 00:37:53,610 --> 00:37:58,930 This bondage that men and women are living 664 00:37:58,930 --> 00:37:59,310 in. 665 00:37:59,310 --> 00:38:02,270 I pray to God you come from out 666 00:38:02,270 --> 00:38:03,090 of that bondage. 667 00:38:03,210 --> 00:38:04,850 Come out from that bondage. 668 00:38:07,990 --> 00:38:11,170 Some of you are bound in spiritual darkness. 669 00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:17,930 Some of you are bound by some organization. 670 00:38:19,490 --> 00:38:21,330 Literally bound. 671 00:38:22,910 --> 00:38:24,610 Your heart cries. 672 00:38:25,830 --> 00:38:28,550 Everything within you cries out. 673 00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:29,650 Your heart cries out. 674 00:38:29,770 --> 00:38:30,590 You're hungry. 675 00:38:30,750 --> 00:38:31,690 You're hungry. 676 00:38:32,530 --> 00:38:35,310 But the bondage that you're in, this terrific 677 00:38:35,310 --> 00:38:40,790 bondage, you're bound by people. 678 00:38:40,970 --> 00:38:42,550 You're bound by organization. 679 00:38:43,210 --> 00:38:46,770 You're bound by those in higher authority than 680 00:38:46,770 --> 00:38:47,430 you are. 681 00:38:49,750 --> 00:38:52,610 Many of you in Catholicism, you've been bound 682 00:38:52,610 --> 00:38:53,830 so long. 683 00:38:53,830 --> 00:38:56,610 Some of you have been bound by sin 684 00:38:56,610 --> 00:38:58,010 so long. 685 00:38:58,650 --> 00:39:02,630 Sometimes I think this wonderful Holy laughter that 686 00:39:02,630 --> 00:39:05,630 we see, it's glorious if you've never heard 687 00:39:05,630 --> 00:39:05,810 it. 688 00:39:06,070 --> 00:39:06,870 It's different. 689 00:39:07,470 --> 00:39:09,470 It's different than any laughter. 690 00:39:09,650 --> 00:39:10,390 It's different. 691 00:39:10,850 --> 00:39:12,530 It's the laughter of freedom. 692 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,270 It's the laughter of liberty. 693 00:39:19,140 --> 00:39:23,220 But everything is in good taste. 694 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,440 When the Holy Spirit does it, and always 695 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:35,420 remember this, if you never again hear me 696 00:39:35,420 --> 00:39:38,500 speak to you in a heart-to-heart 697 00:39:38,500 --> 00:39:44,100 talk regarding this person, the Holy Spirit, he 698 00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:47,420 is never unseemly in his actions. 699 00:39:47,420 --> 00:39:48,260 Never. 700 00:39:49,860 --> 00:39:50,780 Never. 701 00:39:53,410 --> 00:39:58,050 If it's revolting, it's not the Holy Spirit. 702 00:39:59,410 --> 00:40:00,390 Know that. 703 00:40:02,730 --> 00:40:03,870 Know that. 704 00:40:06,570 --> 00:40:14,490 If it's revolting, it is not the Holy 705 00:40:14,490 --> 00:40:15,030 Spirit. 706 00:40:16,190 --> 00:40:23,230 If it's obnoxious, it's not the Holy Spirit. 707 00:40:24,690 --> 00:40:26,170 It's the flesh. 708 00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:33,010 When it's holy laughter, it's something that's contagious. 709 00:40:33,550 --> 00:40:35,170 It's something that's beautiful. 710 00:40:35,490 --> 00:40:36,850 It's something that's wonderful. 711 00:40:38,390 --> 00:40:44,050 But everything the Holy Spirit does, I have 712 00:40:44,050 --> 00:40:45,790 such high regard for him. 713 00:40:48,250 --> 00:40:52,710 I've never known him to ever manifest himself 714 00:40:52,710 --> 00:40:54,010 in a revolting way. 715 00:40:56,570 --> 00:40:57,470 It's perfection. 716 00:41:00,250 --> 00:41:02,010 It's perfection. 717 00:41:03,730 --> 00:41:06,370 And I know there are things that happen 718 00:41:06,370 --> 00:41:12,290 in the flesh and labeled as the Holy 719 00:41:12,290 --> 00:41:12,810 Spirit. 720 00:41:12,810 --> 00:41:15,990 It cannot be the Holy Spirit, for it's 721 00:41:15,990 --> 00:41:21,390 contrary to his personality and his beauty and 722 00:41:21,390 --> 00:41:22,670 his loveliness. 723 00:41:27,570 --> 00:41:30,250 Open our understandings, please. 724 00:41:32,170 --> 00:41:34,730 Flesh and blood hath not revealed this unto 725 00:41:34,730 --> 00:41:36,550 thee, but to my Father which is in 726 00:41:36,550 --> 00:41:36,670 heaven. 727 00:41:37,690 --> 00:41:39,710 Open our understanding. 728 00:41:40,710 --> 00:41:43,430 Let him that hath an ear, let him 729 00:41:43,430 --> 00:41:46,130 hear what the Spirit saith. 730 00:41:48,830 --> 00:41:57,170 But remember, it is the sovereignty of God 731 00:41:57,910 --> 00:42:02,070 when the Holy Spirit came upon the Old 732 00:42:02,070 --> 00:42:03,070 Testament saints. 733 00:42:04,030 --> 00:42:09,550 But that was changed after Jesus came. 734 00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:16,300 Jesus knew the secret of the power. 735 00:42:17,620 --> 00:42:20,220 Those miracles you read are the miracles. 736 00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:22,240 When you read the miracles in the New 737 00:42:22,240 --> 00:42:25,580 Testament, it was the power of the Holy 738 00:42:25,580 --> 00:42:25,760 Spirit. 739 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,180 Jesus knew that being in the flesh he 740 00:42:30,180 --> 00:42:35,740 could not perform miracles, and yet he knew 741 00:42:35,740 --> 00:42:37,820 there would have to be the manifestation of 742 00:42:37,820 --> 00:42:38,800 the supernatural power of God. 743 00:42:38,860 --> 00:42:41,220 That was in essence when he said to 744 00:42:41,220 --> 00:42:46,200 them, If you want to believe all that 745 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:50,260 I say that I am, then believe me 746 00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:51,700 for the very work's sake. 747 00:42:52,140 --> 00:42:53,600 And he knew that there would have to 748 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,880 be the supernatural power of God, or they 749 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:57,860 would never accept him. 750 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,140 And that was the reason he offered himself 751 00:43:00,140 --> 00:43:01,480 first to the Holy Spirit. 752 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,480 And he said, If you'll come, you'll be 753 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,160 with me. 754 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:10,780 If you'll manifest the supernatural power of the 755 00:43:10,780 --> 00:43:13,660 Father through me, I'll go because I'll need 756 00:43:13,660 --> 00:43:16,140 that manifestation, I'll need it. 757 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,700 And Jesus understood every time there was a 758 00:43:18,700 --> 00:43:18,980 miracle. 759 00:43:19,780 --> 00:43:21,180 Jesus understood. 760 00:43:22,540 --> 00:43:26,480 He understood perfectly well to the Holy Spirit. 761 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,980 And those miracles did not begin until after 762 00:43:30,980 --> 00:43:32,420 Jesus came up out of the waters of 763 00:43:32,420 --> 00:43:32,900 baptism. 764 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:36,540 And God spoke. 765 00:43:37,020 --> 00:43:38,640 And in that hour the Holy Spirit came 766 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:39,840 upon him as a dog. 767 00:43:43,340 --> 00:43:48,920 Then, before he went away, he told about 768 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:49,920 the Holy Spirit. 769 00:43:51,220 --> 00:43:52,460 He told him he would come. 770 00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:54,500 He'd get there in time. 771 00:43:55,460 --> 00:43:56,940 He'll teach you all things. 772 00:43:58,100 --> 00:43:58,980 He'll guide you. 773 00:43:59,020 --> 00:44:00,240 I'd give anything in the world if I 774 00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:01,320 could stay with you longer. 775 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,500 He took all of these scriptures.
