The Impersonation Of Christianity

The Day of Pentecost, they waited till they had Scriptural authority. That’s right, ’fore they claimed anything, they knowed they had it. Didn’t say—say, “Well, I—I felt a little sensation.” They felt it, saw it, everything else.

They knowed It was there. They seen It moving in them, working in them, talking through them, everything. It was there. They didn’t have to presume nothing. It was there, talking for Itself.

And a man, when he is born again of the Spirit of God, is the same thing today. You don’t presume.
“I—I believe we receive the Holy Ghost when we believe.” No. You didn’t. You don’t re-…Some, you could do it. But just because you believed, if God didn’t fill you with the Holy Ghost, then He hasn’t vindicated you yet. You haven’t got It. See? That’s right.Don’t presume you’ve got It. Be sure of that thing. You don’t want to take a chance on it, no, ’cause you’ll be lost. Just don’t presume. Just stay, go, stay till it’s over with.

And WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT….

NOT A NEW DEGREE,

NOT THE NEW CHURCH,

NOT THE NEW THOUGHT ,

NOT THE NEW EMOTION,

NOT THE NEW OIL,

NOT THE NEW DANCE,

NOT THE NEW LIPS,

NOT THE NEW TONGUE,

NOT THE NEW THIS,

NOT THE NEW HAT!

BUT WHEN GOD

PLACES HIS SPIRIT

IN THE MIDDLE

OF YOUR NEW SPIRIT,

THEN YOU DON’T

HAVE TO ACT MEEK,

YOU DON’T HAVE TO ACT

LIKE A CHRISTIAN.

IT CONTROLS

EVERYTHING

THAT’S WITHIN YOU.

IT PUTS YOU DECENT,

MAKES THE CHURCH

ACT ORDERLY,

MAKES THE GIFTS

WORK PERFECT.

And IF YOU HAVE TO BE TAKEN

FROM A PLACE

WHERE YOU THINK

YOU SHOULD BE,

and PUT YOU DOWN SOMEWHERE ELSE,

IT CONTROLS YOU.

NOT FLOPPING,

“I’LL NEVER COME BACK AGAIN.”

NO, SIR.

THAT SHOWS

THAT THE MAIN SPRING

IS NOT IN THERE.

WHEN YOU BLOW UP

AT EVERY LITTLE THING

THAT HAPPENS,

IT POISONS

THAT DISPOSITION.

And WHEN THE PASTOR

HAPPENS TO HIT SOMETHING

THAT’S IN THE WORD,

and YOU,

“PHFFT!

WELL, I DON’T BELIEVE THAT.”

LOOK OUT,

OLD COW HIDE!

SEE?

WATCH OUT!

THE NEW MAIN SPRING

HASN’T BEEN

SET IN THERE

RIGHT,

YET.
