the charismatic itch now friends I
uh I hope someday Jesus will give me a
Ministry of just blessing people because
I’m getting tired of the
criticism well for example I I said in
this Vision that I foresee a time of
persecution coming such as the world has
never witness Jesus said they persecuted
me and they persecuted you and he’s
given you a blessing now to get you
ready we’ve moved away from the age of
Aquarius to the age of persecution
already I’ve been warning the
charismatic Catholic movement that the
pope and the hierarchy of the Catholic
Church will eventually turn on their
movement there would become there there
would be launched the neoc Catholic
Charismatic movement it would not die it
would grow but it would have to go
underground whether that’s the death of
this Pope and a new pope coming I don’t
know but right now friends that’s
happening I can produce right now all
kinds of of articles in the Catholic
weekly and all kinds of magazines
decrying what happened at Notre Dame
when uh thousands of charismatic uh
Catholics gathered they say we don’t
need that we don’t want it they don’t
want us we don’t want them crying now
for that movement to be evicted from the
Catholic church that’s coming that’s
coming it’s coming and so many many have
said well uh you wrote a book to cross
and switchblade and you talked about
this and and many many people received a
charismatic experience refer to the few
chapters the last few chapters in the
cross and Switz blade friends that’s
still my testimony I have not been
removed from that some of you tonight
will think I don’t believe in the
charismatic movement not at all I I am I
first of all I don’t like the word
charismatic it sounds like asmatic i’
say you I’d go to a phoenix and do
something about
it but since that’s the only word we
have to explain what’s happening uh
that’s what I have to use tonight
so I prayed about this I said Lord I
can’t go there with uh brother Jack and
and all those Methodist friends many of
you sitting here have a charismatic
experience and some of you may not you
may be uh searching and uh seeking God
about it uh and I said God I can’t get
up there because you haven’t called me
to set the church straight and you
haven’t called me to uh condemn people
people I don’t want that but friends I
have I cannot be honest with myself in
prayer anymore unless I obey God and
what he tells me to do and I’ve asked
God for three days now to baptize me in
love so that I could refer to these
things he’s asked me to refer to and
that you’d receive it and so there’d be
no malice I believe in Divine Healing I
believe in miracles and friends that
there’s something happening in the
church now uh that I’ve got to talk
about that’s all I can say let’s pray
pray father I I’m going to have to have
your help tonight I really am that you
would give me the anointing and the
unction that is so necessary that this
word be driven into our hearts now Lord
we’ve praised you and we’ve worshiped
your name and there’s been a wonderful
thing happening here at this Methodist
convention conference and we thank you
for the holy spirit that has been so
greatly manifested but now
Lord whatever you have to do whatever
you have to do God do it take the sharp
two-edged sord of the word and drive it
deep into our hearts and Lord we may not
leave this building shouting tonight but
we’ll leave this building ready to be
broken in Christ’s name I pray
amen the charismatic
itch there’s a solemn charge from God’s
word that every single Charismatic
Christian must Hear and Now
never before was this charge so needed
in the church as it is right now 2
Timothy
41-5 I charge thee therefore before God
and the Lord Jesus Christ who shall
judge the quick and the dead it is
appearing in his kingdom preach the word
be instant in season out of season
reprove rebuke exhort with all
longsuffering and Doctrine and friends
in a way that’s what I’m having to do
tonight he said reprove rebuke and
Resort uh exhort for the time will come
and here it is for the time will come
when they will not endure sound Doctrine
but after their own lust shall they Heap
to themselves teachers having itching
ears and they shall turn away their ears
from the truth and shall be turned to
fables but watch thou in all things
endure afflictions do the work of an
evangelist make full proof of thy
Ministry for I’m now ready to be offered
in the time of my departure is at hand
now friends we are clearly warned by the
word of God of significant problems that
would come along and threaten the
integrity and the reality of a true Holy
Ghost
experience a time is coming the Bible
said when men and women will flock after
teachers who introduce Innovative
strange and unsound Doctrine secondly
they would develop an itch for stories
fables but at the same time become bored
with sound Doctrine and sound Bible
methods thirdly others will appear who
put on a front of superficial godliness
but who will deny the power the
witnessing power of the Gospel also
there would arise prayer groups who
creep into others houses to introduce
Bible teaching new Innovative Bible
teaching that excuses man’s lost and
weaknesses and they will spend all their
time in learning teaching sessions but
will never come into the knowledge of
the truth 2 Timothy 3 67 for of this
sort are they which creep into houses
and Lead captive silly women who are
Laden with their sins LED away after
divers lust ever learning never able to
come to the knowledge of the
truth Paul warns Timothy and all of us
in the church resist these new trends
with the simple truth of God’s holy word
resist
it most of these the Bible says who are
directing these new sessions will be
basically corrupt and it won’t take long
for them to be exposed for what they are
the Bible said their Folly shall be
known to all men those who excuse sin
and weakness their Folly shall be known
to all men and I found something out
friends those who teach these Innovative
Innovative truths these new Mysteries of
the Gospel as they call them are often
corrupt men trying to excuse their own
sin they preach to hide their own folly
Paul said test their Doctrine their
teaching by a criteria that I want to be
judged
with second Timothy 3:10 Paul said but
thou Hast fully known my Doctrine my
manner of life my purpose my faith my
longsuffering charity patience
persecutions and afflictions which I
endured and was delivered out of now
friends hold it just a minute how dare
you and I believe what a man woman
teaches his Doctrine until we know the
manner of life behind
it what right if we to listen to a man
or woman until we know what life he is
Paul said you know my manner of
life so many charismatic groups today
invite any Johnny come lately to share
in their Bible teaching and they have no
other credentials often than a GLI
tongue and an ability to turn people
on the visiting teacher preacher could
be living in
adultery practicing homosexuality and I
have seen that many times as the case
running from the law but too often now
he’s allowed to gather around him a
large following before he’s exposed and
then the damage is already
done Paul said I give you my record of
patience and purpose and faith and
charity from Antioch to listra check
with these places make full proof of my
Ministry have f a good fight I’ve kept
the faith these things thou has heard of
me among many witnesses I’m a Workman
who needeth not to be ashamed in other
words Paul said check me out before you
accept my
Doctrine check me
out Paul further warns stay away from
those who come along who do not rightly
divide the word some their profane and
vain babblings because what they teach
leads only to permissiveness and
ungodliness their teaching is like Gang
Green they keep introducing foolish and
unlearned questions I can even name them
like chimus and phileus they’re in error
they are overthrowing the faith of some
saying the resurrection has passed
already avoid These Foolish teachings
that only create strife and more
questions these teachers are snare of
the devil so pray those who are caught
May recover themselves and how grieved I
am lately in my travels across the
country hundreds of young people now who
were involved in some charismatic
renewal say Pray For Me Brother David
I’ve fallen under the teachings of a
false prophet I’m all mixed up I’m all
confused never before have we witnessed
such the such a flood of new teachings
new ideas new doctrines special gimmicks
and special interest groups who claim
they have the deeper
truth and it’s going to get worse
friends because now we have in all of us
a kind of Supernatural syndrome it’s
inherit in so many groups and it’s
leading to a trail of confusion
mysticism and a craving for bigger
better and more spectacular
manifestations of the Holy
Spirit the poor little Pastor who serves
up just the simple pure unspectacular
gospel teaching today can’t even begin
to compete with all the
Glamorous supernaturalists that are in
the country today and too often if you
don’t have some kind of a gospel gimmick
you can’t draw the crowd
well not much amen but it I’m going to
unload it get it
said I’ve got converts in my program in
New York City who can’t stand more than
30 minutes of pure Doctrine when we’re
teaching but they’ll line up for three
or four hours to get in a big Crusade
hoping to get zaed by some great man of
God they come back to the center with
glor reports of legs that were pulled
straight
signs and wonders and blankets were
thrown over dozens of people laying on
the floor now it’s excitement it’s
Charisma it’s spine tingling it’s
unusual it’s crowded let me say
something here now hear it please it is
often very often a true genuine work of
the Holy Spirit and it must never be
mocked or ridiculed never
never but let’s go to the word of God
now and find where our true priorities
are whether you’re charismatic or
not first Christ calls for intercession
above
exhilaration now let me repeat it in
case it didn’t sink
in Christ calls for
intercession before
exhilaration too many of us today prefer
the supernatural displays on the
mountains of
transfiguration to the agony of watching
and praying In The Garden of
Gethsemane the disciples were slain by
the awesome power of God after 6 days
Jesus Took Peter James and John his
brother brought them into a high
mountain apart and was transfigured
before them and his face did shine as
the sun and his reignment was white as
the light and behold there appeared unto
them Moses and Elias talking with him
then answered Peter and said Jesus lord
it’s good for us to be here if thou
would let us make here three Tabernacles
one for thee one for Moses and one for
Elias while he yet spake Behold a bright
Cloud overshadowed them and behold a
voice out of the cloud which said this
is my beloved Son in whom well pleased
hear you himar when the disciples heard
it they fell on their faces and were
sore afraid and Jesus came and touched
them and said arise and Be not Afraid
Matthew 17
1-7 they fell on their
face that’s proves beyond a shadow of a
doubt in my mind there’s a Bible
precedent for people falling falling out
under the fear of
God but let it be known to every
evangelist who is being used by God to
cause people to fall out and that’s
happening all the United States today
thousands are flocking to meeting what
people fall out on their
faces let it be known by every
evangelist and by every disciple who was
ever slain by the spirit of
God look at the word hear it now no one
touched them except to tell them as
Jesus did
arise and be not afraid that is the
testimony of Jesus Christ they
experienced the vision of Heaven’s glory
and they heard God speak directly to
them it was a very personal experience
and Jesus warned them tell the vision to
no man until the son of man be risen
from the dead notice this please I give
you Bible it was the it was fear that
caused them them to fall out it was fear
it was the fear of the awesome power of
God that caused them to fall out but it
was Jesus who rebuked that fear and
commanded them to stand
up now God help me God help any
evangelist who through fear or any kind
of personal Charisma should cause any
child of God to fall on their
face
I believe with all of my heart that
being slain by God’s spirit is valid it
happens I’ve seen Godly Saints being
carried out of churches so full of the
vision of God’s glory they couldn’t walk
or talk when I was a boyfriend they uh
my friends in my dad’s church people
would be slain by the power of God and I
remember at 3:00 in the morning they
were still there they didn’t even know
that they’d seen a vision of God’s glory
they’d caught a glimpse of their own
sinfulness and the holy Hess of God I
remember we had ushers who did nothing
more than carry people to their cars and
drivers driving them
home it was not light and frivolous it
did not focus attention on any man or
woman meeing or directing its flow it
was spontaneous it was a result of the
fear of God that came from seeing the
sinfulness of a heart and the pure
Holiness of
God now friends this is is not to refute
anybody or anything that is happening
today I warn though every evangelist who
has an honest heart because I have been
deeply involved in this very thing and
the fear of God is on my heart God don’t
ever let me touch a man through fear of
pure Charisma of My Flesh and ask that
he be slain I pray that old Mighty God
though come upon any congregation any
hungry heart and in his chw slay but
then when I see that man laying there
slain by the power of God as Jesus I
want to go to him and say arise and be
not afraid because the holy spirit is
here Jesus touched them only to cause
them to rise without
fear now it is wrong it is deadly wrong
to go anywhere in the country to any
meeting to seek only the exist eration
of falling
out and it is the grossest kind of error
to believe that any human being on Earth
has some kind of Supernatural power to
zap
people never that is in God’s hand and
it comes of a revelation of seeing the
heavens
opened
Hallelujah and I tell you if you want to
fall out under God’s power be sure that
you’ve been dazzled by the consuming
glory of God and be sure you hear that
voice from Heaven that goes with
it now like the disciples we want to
bronze the blessing and bottle the
glory then answered Peter and said unto
Jesus lord it’s so good for us to be
here if you’ll just allow us let’s start
a building program and three Tabernacles
right here one for you Moses one for
elas and Peter was saying Lord this is
so good we just have to stay right here
let’s keep it going
we want to stay in the glory we want to
keep on witnessing the supernatural we
want to stay where God’s part Keeps Us
slain we would like to go all the way
through life sitting in these Heavenly
places on the Mount of
transfiguration but it was on another
Mountain where these same disciples who
had been so excited and exhilarated
about the supernatural fell asleep on
the matter of prayer and
intercession Matthew 26 36-43 then came
Jesus with them to a place called
Gethsemane are you
listening and said to his disciples sit
ye here while I go and pray Yonder and
he took with him Peter and the two sons
of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and
very heavy then saith he unto them my
soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto
death tell you here and watch with me he
went a little further and fell in his
face and prayed saying father if it’s
possible let this cup pass from me
nevertheless not as I will but as thou
Wilt he cometh to his disciples and
findeth them
asleep and saith to Peter what could you
not even watch with me one hour watch
and pray that you enter not into
temptation the spirit indeed is willing
sure the spirit is willing to be
exhilarated but the flesh is weak he
went away again the second time and
prayed saying oh my father this cup may
not pass away from me except I drink it
then I will be
done now these disciples knew the
blessing of the mountain but not the
agony of the garden they know trouble
staying wide awake for the supernatural
demonstration but they were bored to
sleep when it was time to
pray now friend if it’s not the
exhilaration of the mountain it’s the
exhilaration of casting out devils and
Healing The
Sick after these things the Lord
appointed other 70th also and sent them
two by before his face into every city
and place whether he should come and the
70 returned again with Joy saying Lord
even the devils are subject to us
through thy name and he said unto them I
beheld Satan’s lightning fall from
Heaven behold I give unto you power to
tread on serpents and scorpions and over
all the power of the enemy and nothing
by by any means shall hurt you not
withstanding in this Rejoice not that
the spirits are subject unto you but
rather Rejoice because your names are
written in
heaven now friend if this passage of
scripture is really true if we’re to
take the words of Jesus Christ literally
then we’ve got to face some hard facts
right here and now first of all we are
not to praise God for
everything we’re to praise God in
Everything Jesus did not praise God for
the cup he prayed to be delivered from
the cup because prayer changed things I
do not praise God for divorce in
somebody’s life
never I pray that God heal the
marriage he prayed to be relieved and
finally for Grace to accept
it we are in fact warned against
praising God that the devils are subject
to our prayers
Rejoice
not that the spirits are subject to you
we are to praise God what for
Jesus there is all our praise that is
the object of all of our praise who has
written our name in the book of life
therefore a true Christ honoring healing
conference or meeting is where the
congregation does not praise God for the
supernatural manifestations of healing
but for the souls who are repenting are
being redeemed and written in the Lamb’s
Book of
Life
oh he say uh brother Dave you don’t
believe in Divine Healing I have never
believed in it
more my wife came through very serious
five operations for
cancer it’s been the healing power of
Jesus that has kept her
alive but the Bible makes it very clear
we are to rejoice says do the Angels who
glorify God for one sinner who repents
than for
99 physical Miracles among those who are
already in the fold rejoice in This Not
That the devils are subject unto you we
are not if we’re to be exhilarated it
must be over the joy of Sinners
repentant and not of Devil’s
fleeing immediately after giving the
disciples power over all unclean spirits
and over all the power of the enemy he
warned them to keep their priority
strong
you have power Jesus was saying but
don’t exalt in that power don’t rejoice
in that power don’t show it off go
mainly after lost souls that’s what
makes Heaven Rejoice that’s what make
you should that’s what should make you
rejoice Heaven rejoices in what in one
sinner who
repents God is calling the charismatic
movement to a new life of watchfulness
and
prayer oh I believe that I believe it
we are a praising people but we are not
a Praying
people we want the Miracles the
manifestations the gifts the blessings
the Visions but we don’t want the hard
work and sweat of watchful
prayer those sleeping disciples in
Gethsemane had no discernment at all
about what was happening the end was
near time was running out history was in
the making and they were bored to sleep
men who had cast out demons and healed
the sick and turned the cities upside
down could not pray for one
hour and we today have the unique
ability to travel hundreds of miles to
get into a supernatural meeting and sit
for hours rejoicing in Miracles and go
everywhere telling about our baptism and
we can’t shut oursel in the secret
closet to pray for one
hour Christ is coming the ends of the
world are falling in on us old things
are about to pass away a new kingdom of
God is coming and about all some of us
can do is think about Another
Blessing we have no burden to pray no
urgency to intercede for our lost
families and friends no discernment of
the signs around us no heartbreaking
tears for the dying millions in the
ghettos and in the Heathen
lands give me one brokenhearted prayer
Warrior for every 10 thrill seeking best
me Jesus get
Bo
persecution is the only antidote God has
for the charismatic
itch now just in case you don’t
understand what I mean by the
charismatic it let me spell it out once
again in plain simple terms it’s an
ailment that afflicts very sincere
people who yearn for truth and deeper
learning it’s an element that can’t be
scratched or Satisfied by A Simple Pure
Doctrine or the truth about living by
faith and not feelings because that
usually doesn’t satisfy the itch so the
Heap up learning experiences running
from teacher to teacher new truth to new
revelation Miracle meeting to conference
the tapes and books and
Records they go away loaded down with
material but they never really come into
the knowledge of the truth now friends I
put out as many sermon tapes and records
as anybody in the country and I believe
in them but my friends I’ve seen some of
the manuals and the books and the
teaching today and it’s so complicated
you’d have to have a prophet with you 24
hours a day to interpret for
[Applause]
you I I i’ I’ve read some of the manuals
and listened to some of the the the new
teaching and I said God it if it’s that
hard I’ll never make it how in the world
will new convert make it well I can’t
even figure it out you got to have a
map no wonder Paul warned us not to be
removed from the Simplicity of the
gospel and you can mark it down the
harder it is to understand and the
bigger the Yoke the further it is from
the
truth therefore now listen the itch
becomes a way of
life the pursuit of truth becomes more
important than the discovery of truth if
some people ever came into the simple
knowledge of the truth they’ die boredom
because it’s
fun seeking the truth you meet a lot of
nice
people it becomes addictive to stay on
the run and make the
rounds it’s too comfortable to stay in
Jerusalem and break bread with others of
like testimony be want to stay near the
upper
room now God’s only alternative is to
send persecution to chase us
out acts 81 for and Saul was consenting
unto his death and at that time there
was a great persecution against the
church which was at Jerusalem now
friends there was persecution against
the first charismatic church was going
to be persecution against the last one
and they were all scattered abroad
throughout the region of Judea and
Samaria except the apostles and devout
men carried Steven to his bual and made
great lamentation over him as for Saul
he made Havoc of the church entering
into every house and hailing men and
women committing them toon
therefore they were scattered abroad
went everywhere preaching the word how
did they find remember Jesus said he’s
going to give them a Pentecost to send
them to Judea and Samaria how’d they
finally get there they’d still be in
Jerusalem if God hadn’t allowed
persecution through
persecution now they could handle demons
and Devils but they weren’t ready for
persecution they weren’t expecting it
they weren’t prepared now look what
happens they’re chased out of Jerusalem
they’re scattered everywhere and they
begin to evangelize the lost and those
listen closely now those who once looked
earnestly on Peter for miracles and
exhilaration are now looking earnestly
on the Lord for personal guidance and
personal
Ministries who wants to leave
Jerusalem man those Mass meetings with
thousands been converted every day those
unique Shadow healings of Peter
that’s right he walked the street in the
shadow fell boy everybody come I bet he
had thousands following him to see where
the shadow is going to fall they called
him the
shadow people were not only falling out
they were falling
dead the Full Gospel Fellowship meetings
were Citywide people went to bread
breaking banquets and they were
tremendous miracles signs wonders
healing CLA and the respect of the whole
city but with all of that they were out
of God’s
Will and any charismatic move of God is
out of the Lord’s will when it becomes
satisfied only to live off itself and
maintain the Jerusalem
experience now God has tens of thousands
of angels praising his name but only a
few men to witness
and when men do not use their Pentecost
to spread the net for lost souls it
becomes introspective mystical and
[Applause]
self-serving men become more interested
in getting relief from their pains than
from Redeeming the
world we become mired in our own
depressions our fears our anxieties and
we’re preoccupied and building up our
own faith with signs leadings and
miracles then we qualify eventually for
the indict those indicted by the Lord an
evil generation seeketh after the
time now among many charismatic groups
today there’s no urgency for Missions
there’s no burden for dying
Heathen too often we prefer to gloat in
the last VIP testimony of who got the
baptism I’m praying for Billy Graham
I’ve heard that all over the
country and we’ve got people praying for
the pope to get the baptism we own
children are going to
hell now friend I I am not trying to be
Faus I have a burdened heart my heart is
burdened we we sometimes travel all over
the world to give our testimony or to
hear one of how the Holy Ghost got a
hold of Our Lives yet we do do little or
nothing about the milons dying without
Christ in the
ghetto and I I I’ve seen
Banquets thousands of Christians coming
to New York and sitting around banquet
tables praising God and telling how the
Holy Ghost got a hold of them and they
couldn’t even get there until they
walked past thousands of drug addicts
alcoholics and prostitutes were a
handful of us out there were trying to
do something for
Jesus and that’s why persecution is sure
to come he’s going to allow once Havoc
to be made of the church and chase us
out into the highways and hedges to
compel them to come in now the
application of this entire message that
God’s L on my heart can be found in the
ministry of
Phillip here is a great charismatic
heting evangelist who is dramatically
taught what really pleases
God acts 8:4 and8 and hear it good and
Loud please therefore they were
scattered abroad whenever we’re
preaching the word then Philip went down
to the city of Samaria and preached
Christ to them
and the people with one Accord gave heed
unto those things which Philip spake
hearing and seeing the Miracles which he
did unclean spirits crying with loud
voices came out of them that were
possessed with them and many taken with
policies and they what were lame were
healed the angel of the Lord spake unto
Philip saying arise and go toward the
South under the way that goth down from
Jerusalem under Gaza which is Desert he
arose and went Behold a man of Ethiopia
unic of great Authority Under candas
Queen of the ethopians who had the
charge of all her treasure and had come
to Jerusalem for to worship he was
returning and sitting in his chair read
Isaiah the prophet then the spirit said
to Philip go near and join thyself to
this Chariot now hold it just a moment
why would the Holy Spirit stop a man of
God who is doing the right thing in the
right place at the right time Jesus had
commanded them to go to Samaria and
Judea and heal the sick and preach
salvation that’s exactly what he was
doing he was in the perfect will of God
his Crusades were successful crowds were
flocking to hear him the lame were
walking the blind were seeing the spirit
was falling but suddenly it was
interrupted by God
himself God said shut down your Miracle
meeting you’re going to the
desert cancel The
Crusade the sick and the poor will
always be with you but I want you alone
in the desert of
Gaza and the greatest lesson God ever
taught me that he was more interested in
winning all of me than he was in me of
winning the
world I know of many great evangelists
that I have been associated with in
somewhere or another I’ve seen as they
stood before people in in in in tears
and beautiful spirit and people were
flocking and being healed and things
were happening and then you go behind
stage and you see Associates that are
treated like dogs and you hear that that
something happens between the stage and
the back room and I often said oh God if
you ever use me make sure that you get
all of me first All of
Me you see friends with God big is not
always
better God wanted to see if he had won
the man who was winning the world God
was testing a servant who had been
faithful in the many ministries of
Samaria to see if he’d be just as
faithful out of sight and out of mind
away from the SP Spotlight away from the
microphone and the Charisma of the
crowd God was also reminding us here it
now God was also reminding us that he
will not let us get too far away from
the fact that one toone witnessing is
his perfect
will Philip needed that black Ethiopian
as much as that Ethiopian needed Phillip
Philip needed him as much as he needed
him they needed each other he needed to
come down out of the clouds and be
reminded he was called to win souls and
teach men how to enter the kingdom now
friends as important as Healing The Sick
and casting our Devils may be and it is
God has given us that power we’re to use
that power yet there are millions who
want nothing more or less than to know
the way more perfectly like the
Ethiopian they want to know the way
there was no request for Divine Healing
there was no need to cast out the
devil they want the miracle of being
born
again now some of you are headed for the
desert and I say good for
you it’s a dry lonely unglamorous place
you’ll wonder what God’s trying to put
you through but you won’t have to look
too far to discover God’s most
satisfying Ministry of all personal
evangelism this desert Ministry is going
to take you out of the Civic auditoriums
for a while it puts you in the hospital
Ward where a demonstration of true
baptism and healing power really
needed oh God if he could turn loose
just one of these conferences like
this up and down the quarters of all our
hospitals and in and out the jails and
Jesus said I was in prison you visited
me how are you going to be there to
answer
that that’s why when I go to a city I
have my associates say any prison
witness any prison invitation you get
you grab it for me and I’ll go to a
prison more than I’ll go to a convention
and I believe God’s called us all to
that
Ministry I remember with this I close
standing on a rooftop in Brooklyn 15
years ago I was uh known as a healing
evangelist I was on television on six
stations and I had people come half the
day to line up to get in to the meeting
in and I I really thank God for those
gifts of discernment when people were
called out with
ailments and I I believe in that when
it’s operating through a true vessel
that’s Sanctified by the Holy Ghost I
believe in
it friends it it was easy to stand in my
church in
Pennsylvania and uh when the bus was
piled up outside the television cameras
it was very exciting very
exhilarating and it was very difficult
friends one
time to stand in front of a crowd one
day and the anointing wasn’t there but I
remembered how it was
done so I started calling them
out and it
worked when I went to prayer I heard it
you big
phony you big big
phony and I heard it loud and I heard it
clear and I said oh God please give me
an honest Minister I can’t allow that
anymore in my life and I begin to seek
the face of God
friends the Lord told me to leave that
church leave that Ministry because he
wanted me to go into a desert there no
bigger desert than New York City
spiritual desert I mean it’s another
world and I waigh 100 15
lbs and friends I remember walking down
the street one day and seeing five kids
on a door stoop and they were on the nod
they were falling asleep and I got mad I
said I’m a preacher I thought I was your
friend why you sleeping on me they said
because we’re junkies one of our guys
went to cop a bag of junk we’re going up
on a roof for tea party I didn’t even
know what he’s talking
about they said well come on up and
watch this drill if you want they were
drug addicts ready to take off and a kid
comes up up and uh looks at me
suspicious said a he’s not a narco he’s
a preacher he’s all
right took me up on a flat rooftop 8 fls
High I I was there in my beautiful blue
blazer with gold
buttons wide tie colored shirt flared
pants well they weren’t flared then they
were skinny pants if I
remember boy I was fresh from my Crusade
Ministry boy I preached faith I preached
Miracles I told everybody I was endured
with power from on
high and all of a sudden I see a kid
take out a dirty needle they stopped in
a restroom we got a coke bottle filled
it with cold water and here he is on
this flat rooftop there’s five of them
little kid named shorty full of jais and
hepatit just as yellow as it could be
his eyeballs yellow and I watched him
put the syringe and the needle together
and he swished it around in that dirty
coke water I said what are you doing
that for he said I’m sterilizing the
needle he actually thought he
sterilizing the needle and I watched
those boys like animals shorty was the
sickest one of all and I watched them
put it in a cooker and cook it they
tasted it see if it was what they call
dynamite and I watched him take off his
belt make a turny and the veins and his
neck sticking out and they were their
lips were watering their eyes were
bloodshot and I watched him shaking
stick that filthy needle draw the blood
into it and push and and those other
boys around them saying don’t shoot it
all shorty and they forgot I was there
there were in another world and I
watched them all shoot off that dirty
needle and after the third boy had shot
off that dirty needle I passed down and
that new suit and all right on that
dirty tar tar root and when I came to
there they were looking down at me and
when I finally woke up on him said
what’s the matter preacher you
chicken I said no I said Shorty’s got
johnice y all sh up his dirty needle you
all have it now I said well we know that
I got up and shed myself I said I don’t
believe it I said what do you do it for
they said well after your mainliner like
we are you don’t do it for a thrill you
do it just so you can stay alive just so
it can come up to halfway normal 75% of
the Kids on the Block shoot it we sell
to them to support our habit and I said
well why don’t you go to the hospital go
to the doctor get cured they said boy
you are crazy one boy said I went up to
a cop once I got so mad I wanted to get
locked up so I could kick a cold turkey
I grabbed his billy club and hit him
over the head they locked me up and I
came home went right back to drugs after
two weeks in jail one said I went to a
voodoo service I got so scared of that
Voodoo I had to go out and get a
shot and one of them said I was
hypnotized by a psychiatrist and they
had a little ball in chain and went back
and forth I had to repeat I will not
shoot drugs I will not shoot drugs he
said you’re cured I went right out to
nearest pusher while I was sticking the
needle in my vein I kept repeating the
same words I will not shoot drugs I will
not shoot drugs and I was getting high
at the time and I said well now there
that’s not that’s not right there’s got
to be a way out and one of them I’ll
never forget it that’s when my desert
experience became real to me when one of
those little fellas shorty right after
he told me a vision of Heaven he said he
he died went to heaven in this Vision he
saw beautiful mountain of white Dynamite
that’s all heroin he sitting on top of
this mountain and thousands of needles
as far as the eye could see in a lake of
water and he was sitting there on that
heroin and pile shooting all through
eternity and the pile never went down
that was
Heaven and here he was pointing a finger
in my
chest he said mister there’s only one
way out
suicide or G and when he said God he
said it with a question in other words
you’re a preacher you’re up here you
tell
and I suddenly stood before four men
young kids who were dying I stood on the
rooftop fresh from my
Evangelistic victories and television
and stood in front of four boys
remembering all the message I preached
what God can do about faith and miracles
and healing and I stood there
stripped I stood there empty and all of
a sudden all my preaching son like Hall
of
cliches all those things are so easy to
say within the safety of four
walls and all the shouting I had done in
all the praising and all the Miracles
that I had seen there face to face hand
to hand combat I found something out I
had not prayed
through I had been so interested to
exhilaration I’d forgotten the
intercession and I bowed on that rooftop
friends and I still remember I go back
to that rooftop every time I go back to
New York City I go right to havm Street
107 and I climb those walk upstairs and
I kneel on that same
rooftop and I look around and I pray the
same prayer I prayed 15 years
ago oh God if the baptism of the Holy
Ghost is a baptism of
love then there’s no hope and I so God
fill me with love baptize me so that I
can see the world to the eyes of
Jesus so that I can reach out and touch
them and see your healing power away
from the Limelight away from the crows
where God if you’ll keep please don’t
take from me the gift of discernment but
give it to me now so I can discern the
sin in these lives these young one at a
time lord I don’t care if anybody sees
it or hear it friends and from that down
I’ve never had a public Ministry of
discernment I believe there is a public
Ministry of discernment but all friends
I believe the greatest demonstration of
it comes one to one where nobody sees
you no one can attribute you to being a
prophet no one can glorify you even
though you say give all the glory to
Jesus where no one can see or hear
because that which is highly esteemed
among men is often Abomination to the
Lord and Friends those that are least
among us are going to be the greatest in
the kingdom of God and I believe that
those who serve the greatest are going
to rule the highest in heaven or those
who have had these personal hidden
Ministries whose hearts and charismatic
lives have gone out feeding caring
loving and reaching the lost without the
Applause of men I want to tell you
friends I have to work at it even now
because it’s so easy to get away from
the right
priorities now if there’s anything that
God wants for you and by the way friends
it was that rooftop experence that
desert my Gaza experience I didn’t have
a black Ethiopian I had four little drug
addicts I said Lord I’m going to give my
life to you right here and now to
meeting human need and I don’t want to
hear one more word about a baptism Holy
Ghost I don’t want to talk about the
Holy Ghost I don’t want to be a bre me
Club where people just sit around and
coner the Holy Ghost and talk in
tongues now friends I pray in the gloss
lady I pray all day long I’m driving
along the car anywhere else I pray in
the gloss L I believe for me this is a
devotional experience and I honor and
glorify the Lord in
it but more than anything else I want
God to put something in me through the
power of the holy spirit that I can go
into my room Jesus said when you pray
you enter that room and shut the door
and you pray to the father in The Secret
and the father who sees you in secret
shall reward you openly and the only
reward openly that you want friends is
that the power of the Holy Ghost God has
given you can be used to discern the
needs of those around you that you can
reach out and see the Miracles every one
of you should be a healing
evangelist I I believe in this
conference I believe God brought you
here I believe in this with all my heart
we have got to be gaed the disciples
kept year after year going back to
Jerusalem to get their batteries
recharged I believe in that but if all
you get out of this it’s a praise
session and you don’t go home burdened
to pray for your family and don’t tell
me you don’t have time if you can sit
for 3 hours from 12:00 to noon and watch
As the World Turns inside out and upside
down you got time to go in and
pray look at all those men clapping they
the ones that sh for far us watching
[Applause]
[Music]
football there’s nothing wrong with that
friend but oh we’ve got time for
everything else and if you don’t take
time during this conference to just shut
yourself in the room say God break me
and friends I have to work at this I I
get weary of people saying well you just
you just live a life of prayer you know
you breathe it that’s what Jesus said
you go to the secret closet and you shut
the world out and you pray to the father
in secret shut the door now do it
friends and that’s my battle oh God
don’t let me become a pencil Pusher
don’t let me become just some kind of a
uh Crusade speaker don’t let me become
just one of those exhilarated Saints God
I believe in that I do I do I do God
break me and M me and give me a broken
heart for this world before Jesus comes
and it’s too late and we have not Eed
the
cough now if you already believe he’s
coming you’ll do like my granddad did he
believed in pray down what he called
Holy Ghost Miserables God make him so
miserable they have to get saved
[Applause]
now what I’ve just done had not been
easy on
me because I wanted to come here and
tell you some stories of Victories and
and bless your
good but God had to spank me first and
he did and I accept it before God
I ask his forgiveness if I have said or
done anything that would hinder his work
or that if I appear to be speaking out
against any specific Ministry God knows
my heart
never but I I can’t help but
feel that the Holy Ghost is trying to
say something to all charismatic
Catholics all charismatic lutherans all
charismatic methods all charismatic
Pentecostals and everyone who does not
consider them a part of that particular
movement God is saying I’ve blessed you
you’ve been exhilarated you’ve been on
the mountain but now the end has
come your cross is
near come on I’m going to take you into
the garden now there going to be some
pain there going to be some Agony there
going to be some suffering going to be
some
persecution and you people who have
shouted and praised my name you’re going
to be able to watch with me you going to
be able to pray with me and I hear the
heart cry of Jesus once again in oh how
I hear
it come on
Saints get
ready
pray and I confess tonight before you I
have not prayed like I
should I’ve been reading all the time
and news week and everything watching
the storm clouds
together I’ve not prayed like I
should I’ll tell you one thing though he
not going to let me preach like this
without making me do it
and I don’t want him to make me do it I
want to come in love because he draws me
they not a person in this building been
praying like they should not one and not
a person on this platform been seeking
God like we’ve been told to not one of
us this whole conference will be a total
failure unless we hear what the holy
spirit is

going to praise my
name but then you’re going to come with
me and you’re going to
pray
