00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.819
Now, when it comes to your conversion, remember,

00:00:03.100 --> 00:00:07.500
when it comes to your conversion, that, my friend,

00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:11.859
is a definite experience. It's a definite transaction.

00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:18.800
That is it. You're born again. There's that wonderful

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.920
new birth experience when you become a new creature

00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:28.980
in Christ Jesus. An heir of God and a joint heir

00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:32.140
with... Christ Jesus and the mighty creator becomes

00:00:32.140 --> 00:00:38.119
your heavenly father. And you're born into the

00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:43.219
body of Christ. That's a definite transaction.

00:00:48.539 --> 00:00:57.759
I belong. He's my heavenly father. I am his by

00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:05.260
adoption. that I know to whom I belong. But when

00:01:05.260 --> 00:01:10.359
it comes to the Holy Spirit, it's something that's

00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:16.340
constant, this fellowship, this fellowship, this

00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:23.819
constant communion. And if you're trying to measure

00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:27.519
up to some experience that you received a way

00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:34.099
back there and you say, I got it. I got it. I

00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:47.400
got it. No. It's a daily communion with him.

00:01:49.420 --> 00:01:55.340
Daily. Daily. Under the anointing of the Holy

00:01:55.340 --> 00:02:03.400
Spirit. Oh, you're ministers in this place. Have

00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.019
you stood before your people with an anointing?

00:02:09.740 --> 00:02:13.159
Until you feel that anointing from the top of

00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:19.240
your head to the soles of your feet. You're so

00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.520
under the anointing, my brother, that literally

00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.819
your ears hear. But he is speaking to your mouth.

00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.560
Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, I stood

00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:39.400
there. And he's taught me. As he has spoken through

00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.759
my lips and my ears have heard. And I knew it

00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:47.719
wasn't Catherine Kuhlman. I knew. I knew it wasn't

00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.199
Catherine Kuhlman. If he only knew me a little

00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.740
better, he would understand why I'm so sold on

00:02:53.740 --> 00:02:58.020
the Holy Spirit. I'm so sold on the Holy Spirit,

00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:01.719
I do not know how better to say it to you. I'm

00:03:01.719 --> 00:03:13.919
so sold on the Holy Ghost. It just becomes worse

00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:18.719
and worse. The choice of words that you speak,

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:23.479
my brother. So far as the intellect is concerned.

00:03:26.219 --> 00:03:33.900
It was a masterpiece. But how many were saved?

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:43.240
What was the result? Was there a supernatural

00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:50.300
manifestation? Wherever you find the Holy Ghost,

00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:53.580
wherever you find the presence of the Holy Spirit,

00:03:56.009 --> 00:04:02.449
Always be the supernatural. Always. Know that.

00:04:06.530 --> 00:04:10.469
And the supernatural does not come through a

00:04:10.469 --> 00:04:14.490
great organization. Sometimes I think we've organized

00:04:14.490 --> 00:04:21.910
ourselves to death. I mean that. Sometimes I

00:04:21.910 --> 00:04:24.610
think we're so organized. that the Holy Spirit

00:04:24.610 --> 00:04:31.189
can't get in. He can't work. It'll be the greatest

00:04:31.189 --> 00:04:35.629
day that the church has ever known when the church

00:04:35.629 --> 00:04:40.129
gets to the place where it no longer is completely

00:04:40.129 --> 00:04:54.639
dependent on organization. Yeah. The Holy Spirit

00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:57.819
must have freedom. The Holy Spirit must have

00:04:57.819 --> 00:05:04.740
liberty. And wherever you find the Holy Spirit,

00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.259
you know, I'm going to say something and I hope

00:05:08.259 --> 00:05:12.800
that I'm not misconstrued. I hope I'm not. What

00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.560
I'm about to say, I've never seen more holy laughter.

00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:19.660
I'll get it out in a few minutes, but I want

00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:23.339
to throw this in. I have never... I've never,

00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:32.319
in all of these years, have seen more holy laughter.

00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:38.220
And there is such a thing as holy laughter. And

00:05:38.220 --> 00:05:46.420
in miracle services, holy laughter. That's the

00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:48.800
reason I tell you the Holy Spirit is such a colorful

00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:54.550
personality. I'm so glad I had sense enough never

00:05:54.550 --> 00:06:00.829
to write a book on theology, on doctrine. I'm

00:06:00.829 --> 00:06:04.350
so glad I've been pressed and pressed by different

00:06:04.350 --> 00:06:07.589
publishers who come from New York City and they've

00:06:07.589 --> 00:06:12.970
asked me to write a book on doctrine. Well, I'll

00:06:12.970 --> 00:06:19.310
tell you, that's one smart thing I did. Because

00:06:19.310 --> 00:06:23.180
you see, Had I written a book on doctrine, about

00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:25.720
six months later, I'd have to call them all in

00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:33.980
and say, I made a mistake. That's right. Because

00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:37.560
as you watch the Holy Spirit work, as you watch

00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:43.800
Him work, He's so colorful that it isn't always

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.939
the same, not really. You can't put Him... in

00:06:47.939 --> 00:06:50.899
a certain category and then put a fence around

00:06:50.899 --> 00:06:54.480
him. And that's exactly what we're trying to

00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.639
do in some of our little circles. We're trying

00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:03.699
to fence him in. We're trying to put a fence

00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:08.360
around the Holy Spirit and keep him in this fence

00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:14.459
because it's our idea. And we believe it thus

00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:18.199
and so. And it isn't long before he jumps a fence

00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:24.560
and all that you've got is a fence. And he's

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:37.259
gone. And he's gone. Some of you Pentecostal

00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:43.899
people were dead sure that nothing would ever

00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:47.420
happen. In a first Methodist church, such as

00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:56.680
you saw last night, your theology has told you

00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:02.100
that if you were not filled with the Holy Spirit

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:04.480
in the assembly of God's church, then you didn't

00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:08.939
get it. How many know I'm right? Keep your hands

00:08:08.939 --> 00:08:19.740
down. And you say, come to my church. Come on,

00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:22.000
come on. You'll get it. You'll get it. You'll

00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.660
get it. Come on to my church. You'll get it.

00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:28.519
You'll get it. Come on. You'll never be filled

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:32.340
in the First Methodist Church. You'll never receive

00:08:32.340 --> 00:08:34.080
the baptism of the Holy Spirit in the First Baptist

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:40.740
Church. Never. Never. You'll never see the supernatural

00:08:40.740 --> 00:08:46.440
power of the Holy Spirit. Never. In the denominational

00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:57.779
churches. The Bible doesn't say that. And there

00:08:57.779 --> 00:09:02.139
you are in your own little circle. We have him.

00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:11.840
We got him. And we have a corner on him. And

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:19.779
you never this, you'll never get him. Look out,

00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:24.019
look out. One of these days you may awaken to

00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:28.840
find out that you are the one from whom he has

00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:34.980
departed. He's bigger than denominational lines.

00:09:36.740 --> 00:09:42.799
The Holy Spirit is greater than man's idea. The

00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:46.340
Holy Ghost is greater than our own preconceived

00:09:46.340 --> 00:09:53.210
idea. Know that. When he's so powerful, Jesus

00:09:53.210 --> 00:09:56.970
knew. I think of that over and over again. Who

00:09:56.970 --> 00:10:03.450
knew the Holy Spirit better than Jesus? He'd

00:10:03.450 --> 00:10:08.389
been with him from the beginning of time. Jesus

00:10:08.389 --> 00:10:13.970
knew him. Jesus knew his power. And the Holy

00:10:13.970 --> 00:10:20.080
Ghost is the power of the Trinity. Knowing the

00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:25.299
power of the ghost is Jesus William. Before Jesus

00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:27.899
ever offered himself to the Father to be given,

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:33.120
he first of all offered himself through the Holy

00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:40.759
Spirit to be given. But he knew his power. I'm

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:43.779
not talking about something that is just mediocre.

00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:48.509
I'm coming back again. to this holy laughter

00:10:48.509 --> 00:10:54.830
is happening. But you want to know something?

00:10:55.470 --> 00:11:03.049
I see it so much among those in Catholicism who

00:11:03.049 --> 00:11:06.529
are just coming into the light of the Holy Spirit.

00:11:09.149 --> 00:11:11.929
We've had so much of the holy laughter recently.

00:11:12.330 --> 00:11:16.710
I watched this. Like I told you, all that I know

00:11:16.710 --> 00:11:21.809
about the Holy Spirit is I see him and watch

00:11:21.809 --> 00:11:26.389
him. And watch him. And you get to know him.

00:11:27.029 --> 00:11:29.929
You watch his personality. You know what pleases

00:11:29.929 --> 00:11:34.690
him. You know what grieves him. You just know

00:11:34.690 --> 00:11:38.750
and you know instantly. It's as though you're

00:11:38.750 --> 00:11:41.669
in the presence of someone that you know so well

00:11:41.669 --> 00:11:45.549
and you know when they're grieved. And you know

00:11:45.549 --> 00:11:47.169
when they happen, you know when they're pleased.

00:11:48.289 --> 00:11:56.309
I follow him that carefully. And sometimes I

00:11:56.309 --> 00:12:01.909
think he's allowed this wonderful holy laughter

00:12:01.909 --> 00:12:07.769
to come forth from some of these precious folk

00:12:07.769 --> 00:12:12.909
because they have been released from the bondage

00:12:12.909 --> 00:12:18.840
they were in. This bondage, this bondage, this

00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:25.019
bondage. You're no longer under bondage when

00:12:25.019 --> 00:12:33.100
the Holy Spirit comes in. This bondage that men

00:12:33.100 --> 00:12:36.679
and women are living in. I pray to God you'll

00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:38.980
come from out of that bondage. Come out from

00:12:38.980 --> 00:12:45.169
that bondage. Some of you are bound. in spiritual

00:12:45.169 --> 00:12:51.929
darkness. Some of you are bound by some organization.

00:12:53.490 --> 00:13:00.710
Literally bound. Your heart cries. Everything

00:13:00.710 --> 00:13:05.470
within you cries out. You're hungry. You're hungry.

00:13:05.889 --> 00:13:09.169
But the bondage that you're in, this terrific

00:13:09.169 --> 00:13:15.860
bondage, Bound by people. You're bound by organization.

00:13:16.419 --> 00:13:20.259
You're bound by those in higher authority than

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:25.419
you are. Many of you in Catholicism, you've been

00:13:25.419 --> 00:13:29.320
bound so long. Some of you have been bound by

00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:34.580
sin so long. And sometimes I think this wonderful

00:13:34.580 --> 00:13:38.159
holy laughter that we see is glorious if you've

00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.379
never heard it. It's different. It's different

00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:44.360
than any laughter. It's different. It's the laughter

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:51.419
of freedom. It's the laughter of liberty. But

00:13:51.419 --> 00:14:00.899
everything is in good taste. When the Holy Spirit

00:14:00.899 --> 00:14:04.799
does it, and always remember this, if you never

00:14:04.799 --> 00:14:09.690
again hear me speak to you, in a heart -to -heart

00:14:09.690 --> 00:14:12.809
talk regarding this person, the Holy Spirit,

00:14:13.090 --> 00:14:21.610
he is never unseemly in his actions. Never. Never.

00:14:23.789 --> 00:14:28.629
If it's revolting, it's not the Holy Spirit.

00:14:30.049 --> 00:14:43.519
Know that. Know that. If it's revolting, it is

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:50.580
not the Holy Spirit. If it's obnoxious, it's

00:14:50.580 --> 00:14:59.399
not the Holy Spirit. Like it's the flesh. When

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.440
it's holy, it's something that's contagious.

00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.360
It's something that's beautiful. It's something

00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.700
that's wonderful. for everything the Holy Spirit

00:15:09.700 --> 00:15:18.200
does. I have such high regard for him. I've never

00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:22.299
known him to ever manifest himself in a revolting

00:15:22.299 --> 00:15:32.639
way. It's perfection. It's perfection. And I

00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:35.259
know there are things that happen in the flesh.

00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:42.440
and labeled as the Holy Spirit cannot be the

00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:47.019
Holy Spirit for it's contrary to his personality

00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:50.299
and his beauty and his loveliness.
