Is it possible for a Holy Ghost filled person to be driven by the–driven by the–to do minor things...influenced to do minor–minor things that he doesn’t want to do?
190 Oh, yes! Yes, sir! Yeah, a Holy Ghost filled person... You’re right in the place then to be–to be drove by these things. You just put yourself up a target. When you’re down there serving the devil, he just lets you slouch around anyway you want to. But you once take a stand for Christ, you’ve got on the other side then, he trains every gun right around on you. Every temptation, everything that could be throwed to you, then you got it. But what have you got? “Greater is He that’s in you, than he that’s in the world.” See?
191 Now, you wasn’t in no battle here, you was just slopping along. See? But now, you’ve–you’ve cleaned up; you’ve dressed up; you’ve shaved; you’ve combed your hair; you put on a uniform; you’ve got a gun in your hand. “Let’s go!” See? You’re in battle, not to show off, but to fight, fight! Sure when the temptations rise, with the Spirit, the shield of faith, buck it off, and move on. See? That’s right. Oh, put all the whole armor of God. Why do you put on a armor if you’re not going to fight? All soldiers are dressed to fight, not to show off, walk out and say, “I’m So-and-so. Now, I’m a Christian. See who I am. I belong to so-and-so. Hallelujah! I got the Holy Ghost the other night. Sure, nothing bothers me anymore.” Huh-uh! Oh, brother, I–I believe you better go back and try again. See?
192 Oh, I’m telling you, when as soon as you say you got the Holy Ghost; Satan’s got every gun right on you, shooting you. Then you got the whole armor on, then take the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit or the Word, and take the–buckle on the–shod yourself with the Gospel, and take the old middle piece here, the breastplate, and pull up the cinch on it, and tighten yourself up a little bit, and get ready for it, ’cause it’s coming. Don’t you worry. Yes, sir! You’re going to have plenty of trouble. But remember, “Greater is He that’s in you, then he that’s in the world.”
