Now, I do realize there is fanatics. Certainly there is. There’s plenty of them. But a little Church that’s tried to struggle, not be any certain denomination or any certain name, but I mean peoples who love God, and has held out for the Supernatural, and for God being living in our midst today as He promised He would by the Holy Spirit…And they’ve been called holy roller, fanatics, and Divine healers, and they’ve been pushed back in the alleys and been called everything. But every great picture, before it can be hung in a hall of fame, it has to go through the hall of critics. And I believe the little Church has went through the hall of critics. And now soon, there’ll come a scream from the heavens, and God is going to hang It in the hall of fame, to take It out by the rapture, to take It up into glory. And we’re seeing signs and wonders, like we are today, to stimulate the faith, to believe that when He comes, that we’ll be raptured and caught up together to meet Him in the air with those who’ve went on before.
