“There must be a paradox for you to become a Christian… because no one can change a spirit in a man and give him a new birth outside of God. Your mom and daddy can’t do it. Your grandpa and your grandma can’t do it. You can’t even do it yourself. You’ve got to depend on Almighty God, and when you accept His Word, that’s what gives you that new birth, that’s what gives you the Holy Ghost – is to accept God… and it’s a miracle how that God can take a man’s thinking and his ways and his life and everything, and change it from what he was to what he can be.”
