Luke 19:28-40 28And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem. 29And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them. 33And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? 34And they said, The Lord hath need of him. 35And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. 36And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way. 37And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen; 38Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

236 Wait till that satisfaction comes, the satisfaction Portion of the fullness of the Holy Spirit comes in, then these joy bells of shouting, and speaking in tongues, and dancing in the Spirit, will come. You won’t have to do it by the music. You will do it when you’re going down the road, in your car. You will do it when you’re sweeping the floor. You will do it when you’re driving nails in the wall, with your carpenter work. Wherever you are, that Joy unspeakable and full of glory!

27 God, he that comes to You empty will go away full. You promised it. And I pray that You will fill their hearts and their baskets (of their souls) so full of the good things of God that they’ll go away just bubbling over with “joy unspeakable and full of Glory.” Just may the cups of these precious people run over, with spiritual and good things from God.

73 Now, as God poured out the manna there in the natural, and it lasted as long as they were in the journey; a beautiful type. And the day they entered the promised land, the manna ceased. And on the Day of Pentecost, the same thing…
74 Look at Pentecost, to Moses. They looked back and they seen the enemy was dead. Miriam grabbed a tambourine, begin to beat it, and scream, and dance, and run down the bank. The women followed her, doing the same thing. And Moses threw up his hands, and sang in the Spirit.
75 At Pentecost, the women come out, staggering, and jumping, and dancing, and carrying on. Peter stood up in the midst of them, and said, “You men of Judaea, and you that dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known unto you, and hearken to my words: For these are not drunk, as you suppose, seeing it’s the third hour of the day. This is that which was spoken of by the prophet Joel; ‘It shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I’ll pour out My Spirit upon all flesh: your sons and your daughters shall prophesy: upon My handmaids and maidservants will I pour out of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy: And I’ll show wonders in the heavens above, and in the earth below; pillars of fire, and vapor, and smoke: And it shall come to pass, before the great and terrible day of the Lord shall come, that whosoever shall call upon the Name of the Lord shall be saved.’” On and on he went, preaching.

100 And in the wilderness, when many of them come out, dancing in the Spirit, when Miriam beat the tambourine; eating manna out of Heaven; listened at Moses sing in the Spirit; watching the miracles and signs go forth. But when it come to a showdown, to believe the whole Word of God, all the promise, they failed.
101 Only two of them believed it, that was Joshua and Caleb. And they brought back the evidence that the land was good.

258 Don’t make that mistake. Don’t you trust in speaking in tongues for the Holy Ghost. Holy Ghost speaks in tongues, but don’t you trust that and doing the things that you’re doing, dancing in the Spirit, some kind of a sensation. Christ is a Person. Certainly. When…And He’s the Word. And if He is in there, He always makes His Word work just exactly the way It’s supposed to. When you turn It down, how can it be Christ?

68 I like this kind of singing. When I was back there praying for some of the people, a few moments ago, that had been brought in. And this not being a prayer service; just to speak. I was in there. And I could hear the songs, the clapping of their hands. And we wonder…And some of them even, I seen them, run up-and-down the floor, what they call “dancing in the Spirit.”
69 At first time, I was a critic of that, when I seen the Pentecostal people dancing in the Spirit. And I thought, “What is this? It must be a bunch of nonsense.” Then I got to reading the Bible, and I found out, that, when dancing in the Spirit. The devil copied it and put them out here with rock-and-roll and stuff, but the real genuine dance come from God. That’s exactly. And, always, a dance was victory.
70 When David slew Goliath, and this little ruddy-looking boy come dragging the head of this giant into the city, the people met him, dancing. They had the victory. When Moses crossed the Red Sea, by the power of God, and took the children of Israel on the other side, Miriam picked up a tambourine, and all the daughters of Israel, and up-and-down the bank they went, beating the tambourine and dancing in the Spirit. If that isn’t an old-fashion Pentecostal meeting, I never seen one in my life. The trouble was, with me, I didn’t have enough victory. But when you finally get that victory, and the token of the Blood of Jesus Christ comes upon you.
71 I remember David, the great psalmist of the Bible. When he had done something, that, this great thing, he was given Saul’s daughter. And she was kind of a self-starched, self-styled, so-called believer. And the ark had been away from God for a long time, the visible Presence of God, the Pillar of Fire hanging over this ark. The Philistines had come in and took it out under Saul’s reign. And one day, when David seen the ark coming back to the house of God, David run out before the ark, and he danced before the Lord, singing the praises of God. And Saul’s daughter seemed to be very much embarrassed at that man’s action. Her husband, her young, handsome husband had cut up and misbehave himself in her presence, the king’s daughter. And David said, so much, “If you don’t like that, watch this a little while.” And around, and around, and around the ark he went again, dancing in the Spirit. And she was embarrassed. And God cursed that woman with a curse.
72 Oh, the victory through the Blood of Jesus Christ, the token of the resurrection of Christ, His life lives within His Church. There is no other way of fellowship, under, but under that Blood. Our denominations will separate us, and one say, “That’s nonsense.” And one say this, that, or the other.
73 Pentecost was our pattern. No one will have to say but what… or can say but what that the Church was inaugurated on the Day of Pentecost. And the same Spirit that come upon them on that day, every time without fail, in the Bible, when the Holy Ghost came upon the people, they acted the same way.
74 Let me say this, that in the heathen lands where I’ve had the place, the privilege of traveling and seeing blanket natives of the islands and in the Hottentots, and see them stand there where you have to speak through an interpreter, never heard the Name of Jesus Christ in their life. But tell them the Story, and ask them to raise up their hands and receive God, they do the same thing you do right here when you receive the Holy Ghost. Shows that it’s a universal thing. It’s the power of Almighty God, the display of His token upon His children, whether they’re red, black, white, or whatever they might be. It’s the only place that fellowship is given.
Everlasting Life And How To Receive It
54-1231 · Jeffersonville, Indiana
146 About fifteen years ago, tonight, I was standing on this platform there, with a big chart, teaching.
147 And there was a little Pentecostal group come from Louisville. And I never did believe in them people dancing the way they did. And there was a little lady come up here to play the piano. And they was going to play a special, and beat on a little…thimbles on a washboard. And some of them beat on a tin can. I was very much of a critic of it, so I thought, “What’s going to happen?” And the woman come up to play the special. She got to playing. The lady got to beating on the washboard. And this little blond-headed girl jumped out of here, on the floor, and begin to dance in the Spirit.
148 And me, sitting in the seat of the scornful, I said, “Now, I wish you would look at that!” And I had been telling my church, till they was all wondering what I was going to do about it. I kept looking at her, and I thought, “Look at that! Now, if that isn’t something! Making a tavern out of my church!” And I was sitting there, not knowing any better. I wasn’t saying nothing, but in my heart I was thinking it.
149 So I watched her there while she was dancing. And the first thing you know, I said, “Now wait a minute. Wonder if the lady has got any Scripture for it?” And I begin to think about the Scriptures. I said, “Where was dancing ever ordained at? The first place, in the Bible.” That’s right. And I thought, “What made them dance?”
150 I seen that the children of Israel, when they crossed the Red Sea, Miriam looked back and seen all those taskmasters drowned, she picked up a tambourine and begin to dance; and beat this tambourine, and run down the shores, dancing. And the daughters of Israel followed her, dancing. I thought, “That’s victory.”
151 I seen David, when his sweetheart sitting up there behind this fan, a fanning, looking at her cute little boy friend, David standing out there. And here come the ark, that Brother Graham talked about a while ago, coming across the hill. When David seen it coming, he danced around and around and around. “Why,” she said, “you embarrass me!”
152 He said, “If you don’t like that, watch this!” And around and around and around he went again.
153 You know what? God looked down out of Heaven, and said, “David, you’re a man after My Own heart.” That’s right.
154 And I thought, “You know, there’s one thing the matter with me. I haven’t got enough victory, maybe.” And I got sitting there, and I got my Methodist foot patting. And the first thing you know…God, my judge! I, ’fore I knowed what I was doing, I was out on the floor here, dancing around, with that girl. That’s right.
155 Then I said, “God, take me out of the seat of the scornful. Let me look at anything sensibly before I ever pass a judgment any more.” Amen. God does things peculiar.
156 I don’t believe in a lot of nonsense. I don’t believe in a lot of tommyrot. But I believe in the real, genuine, Spirit-filled, Holy-Ghost Word of God being preached in power and demonstration. Amen. For, That’s the thing that saved me. That’s the thing that’s brought me thus far. That’s the thing that helped me when the doctor said I was dying. That’s the thing that saved me in the hour of my death. That’s the thing that’ll resurrect me. And That’s the thing I’ll go to Heaven with. If I ever get There, I’ll have to go by It; ’cause I don’t know nothing else but That, and don’t want to know nothing else but That. That’s right.
Only Believe

3 … I never was at a dance in my life. But I heard only a—a holy dance one time in church. I never forget that. When we was still a Baptist church, I would always criticize, kinda, in my heart. I wouldn’t say it out loud, because I—I’d be afraid to do that. Anything that God does… I always kinda thought it was kinda strange to see, when I seen, first got acquainted with the Pentecostal people, see them dance, you know, dance around. I thought, “Now, you know, that ain’t in the Bible. What—what are they dancing about?” And then one night I was teaching from a chart on Daniel and Revelations. It was New Year’s night. I was going to teach on the chart until midnight. It wasn’t a chart, like a blackboard, I was teaching. And there was some Pentecostal people had come from Louisville. They had a—oh, some sisters. A sister pastored a church over there and she had a… They had washboards, and thimbles, and—and all kinds of little things to make rackets with, and—and they all got harmonizing some way. I don’t know what it was, and they…
And she started playing the piano, and all these girls up there got to hitting with these thimbles on washboards and things. And—and they—they got they was playing that song, There’s going to be a meeting in the air, In the sweet by and by, Or some… Well, that little girl that was playing, little lady pastor, she just turned white, oh, just like a chalk. And she just begin to playing it in such way, I don’t, I never seen anything play like it in my life. And I thought, “Now, what’s that?” And then, one on the washboard, she got to doing the same thing. Then here, two or three got up. And a little blond head got to dancing right in the floor. I thought, “Oh, my.” Right up and down the floor as hard as she could go, just a dancing away, like that, little old girl, about sixteen, eighteen years old. I was just a young fellow myself. And I… “Now, isn’t that something? Right here in my church. How I’ll ever live that down? See?” And watching her like that, and I thought, “What do they do that for? Why do they have to do that? Why couldn’t they just played their music and went on and let it alone like that?” I thought, “Well, that’s terrible.”
4 I got to thinking, “Now, in the Bible is there such a thing as dancing?” And I remembered that David danced around the ark, when he saw the ark coming. See? He danced before the Lord. And the Lord said, “He’s a man after my own heart.” I thought, “Well, now, that’s… He… What did he dance for?” Well, they had a victory. And Miriam when they crossed over the Red Sea, Moses sang in the Spirit, and Miriam took a tambourine and begin to beat it, and they went down along the bank, all the daughters of Israel, dancing in the Spirit. See? And I seen that dancing was when they had victory. I thought—got to thinking, “Well, maybe, I haven’t got victory enough.” See? I got thinking about it. And you know, after while I got to patting my foot, and before I knowed it I was out there dancing with that girl, out there in that aisle.
5 Oh, I was marked then. I—I could just see the expression on those people’s face yet, seeing their pastor on the floor with this—that little girl dancing around. Here I was right out there too. I never was on a dance floor in my life. And the… But I’d have to take it back and say, “It was on that one.” But that was a church floor. So when we… You know, all the devil’s got, he—he—he copied it after some real thing that God’s got. That’s right. It’s just exactly. The devil cannot create. He’s just a perverter of what’s been created. You see? So he cannot create; he’s not a creator; he’s a perverter.
