And then along come Pentecost. And as
science of the world was able to achieve a--a automobile motor (the Wright
Brothers that created or made, manufactured, rather, the airplane) the flying
machine was far above the car on the earth, because he took to the air. Now, the Wright Brothers, through their achievement, was able to take science and pattern something here on earth
to show that there was a great spiritual thing fixing to happen. And when the Wright Brothers was able to achieve to get a man's
feet off the ground, Pentecost fell and took to the air with a spiritual gift,
with the baptism of the Holy Ghost. He took to the air (Oh,
hallelujah.), got his feet off the ground so he could--he could swim
around, got up in the air. Oh, how far he was above the horse and buggy, how
far he was above the automobile! He was up in the air. He was knocking and
puffing and banging, but he was flying. See, what man achieves on earth, for
they're made of things which do not appear. God was able to achieve something
by a Spirit-filled people who were hungering and thirsting, and those that
would stay with the Word.

Now, we take men like old Beverington. Men, who would've been a greater
man than old Brother Beverington? And look at John Wesley, George Whitfield,
Finney, Knox, many of those old Methodists who sweated it out. They went
through hell on earth, torment, because they believed that God's
Word taught sanctification, the second step of grace; and they stayed with
it, and they believed it, and they done wonders with it. Just the same as Henry
Ford and them done with the transportation of the old model-T Ford up the
side of the horse; he moved on and above the horse day. And Wesley moved on
in above the Lutheran day.

80 050 Oh, and remember, in order to get--be an astronaut, they had to get in a tank, and they can't control themselves. It takes a radar power, an atomic power to lift him out beyond space, and then he's controlled by a tower. Amen. Glory. God's spiritual astronauts is the same. They come into a tank, and into a place, into a body, and that body is the Body of Christ. Then it's not them, it--it's not. It wasn't John Glenn; it was--it was the tank that he was in. It was the machine. He just set there; he didn't do nothing. He just had the real pure courage to get up there and say it's right, because science had proved it.
