Now, on the platform, when the Holy Spirit’s a speaking, and He’s speaking through mortal lips, He always does…I believe these are ministers behind me. And, brethren, you never preached a sermon in your life: the Holy Spirit preached through you a sermon. That’s right. See? See that? See? We don’t preach. The Holy Spirit does the speaking. Oh, we might write out something and read it, but that—that isn’t preaching. Preaching is when inspiration comes and (See?)—and it’s preached by inspiration and the Holy Spirit gives the unction. Now, we can read something, and it just doesn’t matter, but when the Holy Spirit gets a hold of it and takes it out to the people, then something takes a hold. See? And that’s the Holy Spirit. That’s not your pastor preaching; that’s the Holy Spirit preaching in your pastor out to you, giving the message.
