  • Somebody has to be set -- you have to be a soul
  • 00:04:39.625 --> 00:04:40.360
  • You have to be a soul set on fire.
  • 00:04:40.426 --> 00:04:41.160
  • Set on fire. you have to have a new,
  • 00:04:41.227 --> 00:04:42.662
  • You have to have a new, fresh touch of fire,
  • 00:04:42.729 --> 00:04:43.963
  • Fresh touch of fire, and then suddenly,
  • 00:04:44.030 --> 00:04:45.365
  • And then suddenly, you can double that
  • 00:04:45.431 --> 00:04:46.632
  • You can double that in 30 seconds,
  • 00:04:46.699 --> 00:04:47.800
  • In 30 seconds, and another one catches fire,
  • 00:04:47.867 --> 00:04:49.602
  • And another one catches fire, and another one catches fire.
  • 00:04:49.669 --> 00:04:50.803
  • And another one catches fire. and just like on
  • 00:04:50.870 --> 00:04:51.537
  • And just like on the day of pentecost,
  • 00:04:51.604 --> 00:04:52.338
  • The day of pentecost, 3,000 were saved off
  • 00:04:52.405 --> 00:04:54.307
  • 3,000 were saved off one spark.
  • 00:04:54.374 --> 00:04:57.977
  • One spark. you know, i believe
  • 00:04:58.044 --> 00:04:58.544
  • You know, i believe the pentecostals are the ones
  • 00:04:58.611 --> 00:04:59.979
  • The pentecostals are the ones who need the fire more
  • 00:05:00.046 --> 00:05:01.247

  • She's sitting down here on the second row and --
  • 00:05:06.786 --> 00:05:08.521
  • On the second row and -- i can remember
  • 00:05:08.588 --> 00:05:09.389
  • I can remember north henderson rocky mount
  • 00:05:09.455 --> 00:05:10.957

  • We cannot fix people with dead, dry religion.
  • 00:06:53.826 --> 00:06:56.095
  • Dead, dry religion. they need the fire
  • 00:06:56.162 --> 00:06:57.697
  • They need the fire of the holy ghost
  • 00:06:57.763 --> 00:06:58.464
  • Of the holy ghost to get off drugs,

  • They could not figure out what was causing
  • 00:07:42.008 --> 00:07:43.209
  • What was causing the disease, the plague.
  • 00:07:43.276 --> 00:07:47.146
  • The disease, the plague. history records an old cow,
  • 00:07:47.213 --> 00:07:49.782
  • History records an old cow, they think, kicked over
  • 00:07:49.849 --> 00:07:51.284

  • The bigger the -- and the flames begin
  • 00:08:04.630 --> 00:08:05.464
  • And the flames begin to leap from neighborhood

  • That would come up and bite the people and infuse them
  • 00:08:54.547 --> 00:08:58.584
  • The people and infuse them with the bubonic plague.
  • 00:08:58.651 --> 00:09:01.287

  • And we were young, and we were just young men
  • 00:10:15.561 --> 00:10:17.596
  • And we were just young men just in our early 20s.
  • 00:10:17.663 --> 00:10:19.799
  • Just in our early 20s. and so, we naturally drew
  • 00:10:19.865 --> 00:10:22.668
  • And so, we naturally drew a teenage audience.
  • 00:10:22.735 --> 00:10:25.071
  • A teenage audience. and we started
  • 00:10:25.137 --> 00:10:27.373
  • And we started something every time
  • 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:28.708
  • Something every time we would ask the pastor,
  • 00:10:28.774 --> 00:10:31.744
  • We would ask the pastor, "is it alright if we call
  • 00:10:31.811 --> 00:10:32.578
  • "is it alright if we call a prayer meeting in
  • 00:10:32.645 --> 00:10:34.280
  • A prayer meeting in a sunday school room?"
  • 00:10:34.346 --> 00:10:35.748
  • A sunday school room?" and we just start in
  • 00:10:35.815 --> 00:10:36.482
  • And we just start in a little sunday school room.
  • 00:10:36.549 --> 00:10:37.783
  • A little sunday school room. and when we would go in,
  • 00:10:37.850 --> 00:10:38.884
  • And when we would go in, and sometimes those
  • 00:10:38.951 --> 00:10:39.685
  • And sometimes those revivals would break loose
  • 00:10:39.752 --> 00:10:42.321
  • Revivals would break loose for a week, for two weeks,
  • 00:10:42.388 --> 00:10:44.523
  • For a week, for two weeks, for three weeks.
