And now, everyone listen as close as you can, and—and believe with all your heart. Now, I’m not a speaker, and I don’t aim to preach. That’s right. But I just want to speak a few words so that your faith will not fail you now. Now, we’ll talk for a moment about gifts. The gifts of God has always been on the earth. Many times, God couldn’t find anybody to put them on. But listen closely. God never takes His Spirit from the earth. God will take His man from the earth, but never His Spirit. Did you know that? The Spirit that was upon Elijah came upon Elisha (Is that right?) in a double portion. Came on down in John the Baptist. Is that right? So God never takes His Spirit, He takes His man. He taken His Son up to heaven, sent back His Spirit. And He promised that He would be with us to comfort us unto the end of the world.
