My first revival, I looked around. I didn’t know. There it was. The businessmen of the city, a group of them met me that afternoon and talked to me after I baptized. I had to baptized five hundred out of my first revival. They said, “What does that mean?” I said, “I don’t know.” I said, “I am a believer. I don’t know. It might’ve been to you, the unbeliever. I can’t tell you.” But while in that room, I begin to wonder. Look. All those men, nobody could say that them priests wasn’t holy men in the days of Jesus. Is that right? They were holy men, good men, righteous men, scholars of the Scripture. But while they were in there arguing what kind of buttons they must have on their coat, some Magis was coming to worship the Christ, that had already been born. Is that right? Look. And when His public ministry come…Now listen, when His public ministry come, they said, “He is a devil, Beelzebub, the chief of the fortunetellers, the best medium there is. He knows their faults. And He knows all these things. He is a devil.” Is that right? Who says, that’s the Scripture? Say, “Amen.” [“Congregations says, “Amen.”—Ed.] But the strange thing was that devils turned around and said, “No, He’s not. He’s the Son of God.” Hallelujah. God will make the devil testify, His enemy, that He’s the Son of God.” That devil said, “I know who You are, You holy One of Israel. I know You are; Thou art the holy One of Israel.” And the preachers, them holy men, said, “He’s a devil. He’s a devil.” The devil said, “He’s the holy One of Israel.” I seen it. I seen when Paul and Barnabas went up there to preach one time. The preacher said, “Them guys are impostors. They are devils. They alarm people. Don’t listen to them. They turn the world upside down. They’re wrong.” And the little old fortuneteller followed them down the street saying, “They are men of God, to tell us the way of Life.” Preachers saying they are devils, and the devil saying they are tell the way of Life…Hallelujah!
