Now, look. Then I seen John, when he came out there and begin to preach, my, just with repentance, as hard as he could preach. Laying at the axe to the root of the tree, and every tree that bringeth forth not good fruit, is hewn down and cast into the sea. And then notice, or into the fire, rather. Then along came Jesus. When He was baptized, went straightway out of the water, and the Voice of God spoke said, “This is My beloved Son in whom I’m well pleased.” Into the wilderness He went to be tempted of the devil. Every man and woman, as soon as you’re baptized with the Holy Ghost, immediately the devil sets in from every side. If he didn’t, then you better go back.
