<TITLE>12. Par 34-37</TITLE>L-34 Now, watch.
... that you should earnest...
For there are certain men crept in unaware, who were before... ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and... Lord Jesus Christ.
Could you think of it? Now, look what type of men these are. I'm not a 'spiser, friends, against people, against churches. I'm just only... I never spoke evil, as I know of, but--but against one minister. That was twenty-three years ago and God give me such a whipping about that, I never done it before--or never done it afterward. Pardon me. But here's one thing I never intend to do is to speak against them things, but it's the sin that I see that's eating the church up. It's the thing that's being permitted in the church, and the people are going right on with it, thinking they're right. It's because it's not preached at the platform.

L-35 What we need is an old time scrubbing, scoured out, revival. That's right. Not just people raise up and say, "I accept Jesus as my Saviour," and go on back home. I mean come down at the altar and pray through till you strike home, like we used to do at the old fashion Baptist church down here in Kentucky. We got one another down and beat one another in the back till they come through. We had something when it was over. That's the kind of a Baptist you need today instead of some of these you got around Louisville, here, coming in by letter from somewhere else. Hallelujah.
Brother, that may be flat; it may be soybeans and cornbread; but it'll stick to your ribs till you die. I think we've had too much desert now. Don't you think so? Need something that'll put some muscle on you, get some faith in you. That's right. All right.

L-36 ... earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered to the saints...
But... men... of old ordained to this condemnation,... turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness...
You know what the grace of God is. You know what lasciviousness is. And if you want to see a picture of that, you could climb up about a mile high above Louisville, Kentucky, and Indiana, and around; look over and you'll see it this morning, everywhere. Taking the grace of God and turning it into lasciviousness, and in doing so, they deny the Lord God.
Now, you let those people... Just as fundamental as they can be. Yes, sir, brother, I mean they're fundamental. Teach... My, you just ought to hear them. Take that Word, written Word, there, and wrap it around, and around, and around like that and challenge you to it. And they're right.
It just reminds me that in the revival of the coming days, how God is going to move in these things. God, in His revival in every age and every time, in every place, has always did the same thing.

L-37 Look back there when Israel was coming out of Egypt. Now, Israel was a--a group of people that dwelt in tents. And when they come out of--of Egypt, on their road to the promised land, there was Moab up there, that would not let them pass through the--the land. They didn't want that bunch of holy-rollers over in their country. They just wouldn't have it.
You say, "Brother Branham, did you call Israel 'holy-rollers'?" Well, that's what they was. It's exactly. Look, when they crossed through the Red Sea, as we had it somewhere--one of the meetings. I have so many all the time; I don't know whether I was talking on it here or not. When they crossed through the Red Sea, Miriam picked up a tambourine and begin to dance in the Spirit. And all the daughters of Israel followed her, dancing in the Spirit. That right? And Moses got so full of the Holy Ghost till he throwed up his hands and began to sing in the Spirit. And if that ain't a bunch of holy-rollers, I never seen them. It's exactly the truth.
