<TITLE>15. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 And looked like Something said, "Go on in." I started to walk on in, and just as they pulled away, started to pull away, I looked coming down the street, and stopped right up there by the side of a palm tree, was the Reed family getting out. There he had a brown suit on, a brown tie. I looked at that. I looked at him. I never said a word...?... both arms in the air and hollered, "Glory to God," and here he come down the street. They thought they had the Salvation Army out there. And up and down them steps he went, all at the meeting.
I said, "Now, go on over to the meeting and sit down. See? Just don't say nothing; just sit there at the meeting. There's a bunch over there, tonight," I said, "it's nothing in the world but them same old spirits that lived on Ananias and those priests back there that denied the Lord Jesus is the same thing, today, living in men. The devil takes his man, but never his spirit, he just... moves on gets another one. And so, then when, went on down, like that.
The Bible said, "There were foreordained to that condemnation." You know the Bible says that? "Turned the grace of our Lord into lasciviousness." That's right. Jews... And then notice this. Then they come down there, just born for unbelievers.

L-38 There they were sitting there. And I got up, and I said, "I have been told here according to this, that the FBI is going to expose me tonight." I said, "All right. All right. FBI, wherever you are now," I said, "my manager is gone, and so forth. I invite you to come on up to the platform and expose me. If there's anything that I've done that's illegal, anything contrary to the Bible, anything illegal to the laws of the nation," I said, "anything you want. Come up and expose me; tell me where I'm wrong." Which I knew there was no FBI. So I just stood there a little bit, waited a little while.
I said, "No, it looks strange that the FBI don't come." I said, "You've got the platform. Come on." I said, "If I've done anything wrong to be exposed, and...?... Let them come up and tell me. Here's where it's at. I'm just willing to stand the... by the Word of the Lord, and to be exposed by It. See?" I said, "Anything I've done."

L-39 Just then, I noticed moving over on this side, I seen a black object, and it moved across the audience, and went over, hung right up here on the platform over a man dressed in a gray suit, and one in a blue. They were preachers.
I said, "No, it ain't no FBI." I said, "They said they were going to expose me tonight, the guys that done it hasn't got nerve enough; they've backed out." I said, "There they set right up there." I said, "That man in the gray suit and that one in the blue." He got down like that. I said, "Whoops, I thought you was going to expose me." I said, "All right. You're not FBI agents; you're backslidden preachers. That's exactly what you are." You ask anybody you wish to, ask my manager. I said, "You're backslidden preachers, and I challenge you in the Name of the Lord Jesus, you wrote this down and said I was Simon the sorcerer. If I am Simon the sorcerer, and you're holy men, then you come to the platform, and God strike me dead. Then, if I am a man of God, and you're wrong, when you come to the platform, God strike you dead. Come on down now." Yeah.
They set there a little bit, the first thing you know, I said, "You see what's happening?" I looked and they was going out of the building real fast, as hard as they could. I said, "Well, we'll wait a few minutes; just play: "Only Believe," or something, see if they come." Nobody never did show up, never have since.
