He said that two or three times and he said the presence of God was so great on that platform, he had to leave and he ran down the stairs in the basement and fell on his face and began praying. He said through the floorboards he heard like a herd of elephants stampeding. People were falling out of the pews.
Brethren, we've got to have the glory come on the tabernacle. We've got to have the glory in the temple.
