Time-tested! Trials, troubles, shakes, and pull, it’s only to find the blows in you, to see if there is any there. It’s God shaking you and trying you.

Now, for nearly two thousand years, God has been trying to cut Him a masterpiece Bride, called a Church. That’s right. How does God do it? He does it by His never-changing method, the Word.

And I tell you, today, friends, hear my word. There is a drawing Power, not from the church, not from the pastor, but from Glory, the baptism of the Holy Ghost moving down in that right channel, to draw up a Church! What is it? The Power of God, the access to His Life, Zoe.

So we’re getting into a place now it’s either swim or drown. That’s all. It’ll drown you and run you completely away, or bring you in, one. So, it’s swim or drown! Hallelujah! Oh, I am so glad of the Holy Ghost! Aren’t you?
