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

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

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

going to praise my

name but then you’re going to come with

me and you’re going to
