<TITLE>17. Par -</TITLE>L-130-Q-19 19. Question: Why should a vision of God come before me when I was about to take the Communion at my church? Over. (Well, it's just a lady's name; yes, it's a lady's name.) A...?... Why should a vision of God come before me when I was about to take the Communion at my church?
Well, I wouldn't know, sister, unless it was this: If you seen Jesus Christ appear in a vision at your church when you were taking the Communion, He was letting you know this, that you were taking Him in a symbol. The Communion is to represent the body of Jesus Christ; and you were taking Him as a symbol into your body. So live clean, live pure.

L-131-132 Listen. If you take the Communion (You'll hear it read just in a few minutes.) when you're unworthily, you're guilty of the Blood and the Body of Jesus Christ. Let a man that takes that community live right before God--that takes that Communion, rather, live right before God. Don't take it unworthily. That's just...
Look. The Bible predicted in the last days that all the tables of God would be full of vomit. And there'd be nobody able to--to understand. Is that right? Look. I went not long ago into a great tabernacle. I wouldn't call the name; you all know it all well. You know what they had for communion? They taken loaf bread, life bread--light bread, and sliced it up. And a bunch of deacons, which the preacher said seven of them were drunkards... That's right. And every one of them, the whole bunch... You could see them as they went through the building talking to the people. And when the church was dismissed at the end, between the Sunday school and church, pretty near every one, pastor and all, went out and smoked cigarettes on the outside, and come back in and taken the Lord's communion. God said that He would not hold you guiltless for that, "That many are sick and weakly among you, and many are dead." That's right.

L-131-134 Said, "All the tables of God is full of vomit, and who will I be able to teach doctrine." He said, "For precept must be upon precept, line upon line, and here a little and there a little. Hold fast to that what's good. For with stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people, and this is the rest that I said they should hear, but with all this they'd wag their heads and walked away and say, 'We will not hear it.'" Look where we're living, friends. Oh, mercy. Wake up.

L-131-135 Yes, your vision, sister... If you're a good, clean, holy woman before God, you was standing there, and Jesus was letting you know that He was giving the Communion, that you were taking Him in there as a symbol; and if you're not, as a warning to you to get right with God before you do it again.

L-131-Q-20 20. I would know what the--the following is: I Timothy, the 2nd--II Timothy the 2nd chapter and the 16th verse.
Just a moment. II Timothy... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... you get together. Maybe you won't agree with what I said. Take you home... Then you'll go home and study real much, and then that--that'll help You get spiritual. All right, II Timothy 2 and 16 reads like this.
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. 
Yes. All right. You want to know what the profane babbling is. "Profane--shun profane babblings, for they will increase."
Now, the first thing is, "profane babbling, for they shall increase." Now, anything that's just an old--just keeps babbling. The Bible said--Jesus said, "Let your yes be yes and your no be no, for anything more than this will come to sin." You're not supposed even to joke and cutup with one another. God will make you give an account for every idle word that you speak. Did you know that? The Bible said that you'll have to give an account for every idle word. So what kind of a people ought we to be? People that's frank, stern, loving, kind, and never a bunch of nonsense, always going along...
