<TITLE>17. Par 57-60</TITLE>L-57 People's got so, as I noticed today in the Pentecostal people... I come over here not long ago to find the people all shining with the glory of God. And I find out, what a difference. You let down the bars; everything takes place; you're permitting everything to come into your churches. Oh, that right. Now, you Baptist are patting your feet, but we're going to get to you just in a minute.
The women, it used to be, when I first seen Pentecostal people, the women had long hair, dressed nice. And now every one of them cuts their hair; that's all right now. Use this here stuff and make-up all over their face, and manicure on their eye brows, or shave them off, wear a little old dresses that they're skinned into, and then call themselves baptized with the Holy Ghost. I persuaded to believe that the Holy Ghost will make you dress right, and live right, and talk right, and be right, when the Holy Ghost gets you. Amen. That's right.

L-58 That's what you need: a calling back to God. If the Holy Ghost condemned it in the beginning, it's still the same Holy Ghost tonight, and He doesn't change. Now, Pentecostal church has let down the bars and got too starchy. What we need is an old fashion calling back to the Presence of God again. That's right. And you know that's right. Yes, sir.
Used to be a long time ago, it was different. But what's happened? That's the reason you're cooling off. That's the reason you're getting out of the will of God. That's the reason you can't cooperate with one another. You're putting more attention to your organizations, than you are to your Lord. That's exactly right.
Everybody's trying to build the biggest church in town. And one wants to outshine the other one. What does God care about churches? If Jesus is coming soon, why you building these great big places and putting millions of dollars in them, when it ought to be on the mission fields out yonder, somewhere? Amen.

L-59 If Jesus is coming, let's act like it, and talk like it, and live like it, and be like it. What I'm persuaded to say: there's something didn't start right in the beginning. Amen. Oh, my, I hate to say that. But how can I keep from saying it, when it's pushing out of me just as hard as it can? That's right.
Marking of the people, sealing of apostasy, unbelieving, walking after their own lust... That's right. And people are going from east, from west, from north, and south, hungering for the Word of God, and fail to find it. They'll go to the Pentecostal church; they'll say, "Well, I..." First they'll go to the Baptist. One's got this and one's got that. They go; they're all different. They come back to the Pentecostals; they all different. We ought to be together. Amen.

L-60 Well, God bless you. I love you. And if you want to see real true genuine gifts and not impersonations, if you want to see real solid Christians, walking and so salty till the earths a hur--thirsting for them, to be like that... Why, my, the way people... You can't go down on the street and tell what is Christians any more. That's right.
They all go down the street, and they act the same; they talk the same. And all time around, cracking all kinds of jokes and everything like that, when God said you'll give an account for every idle word that you speak. What's happened? Because brother, you're letting the devil come in and put it over your eyes. The first thing you know, the time will come, when you'll--God will give a message and you'll be sealed in or out of the Kingdom. Amen.
