<TITLE>19. Par 63-67</TITLE>L-63 He didn't have to go forward and say, "Now, wait. Let me take this jawbone down and let me test it and see if it'll stand the pressure or not." He didn't have time to think of all those things. The emergency was on. The Philistines was on him. The only thing he needed to do was pick up a jawbone and fight. That's all there was.
And tonight, you ain't got time to run away and figure out all this stuff. The revival will be over tomorrow night. Let's pick up God's Word. That's in your hand. Let's fight with all that's in you. Amen. God give him the victory.

L-64 There was a little fellow down there in the Bible by the name of Shamgar. He might not even ever noticed him in the book of Judges, just a little old fellow. Let's take a little drama to him.
I can see him over there, a poor little fellow. It was a time when everybody did what they wanted to. And Israel had no king. It was all separated, divided out, little groups, just about like the church is today.
One's a Assembly. The other's a Church of God. The other's a Oneness. The other's a Baptist. The other's a Presbyterian. One's a Methodist. Oh, my. If we don't like it here, we go here, and over here, and over here, and... Oh, my. I--I--I don't get it myself.
And then when they come in there. And oh, what they needed was... Just what they needed then, was a good old fashion, kind of a liberation is what we need today (Amen.), the church back to the faith of the living God, back to the promise of God, back to the glory of God, back to the power of God.

L-65 Shamgar got all his stuff put up, his wheat, like he did every year. About the time he'd get the crops put up, then along would come the Philistines and take it away from him. That's just the way the devil does. Just about what the devil's good for. Just about the time you get a little courage built up or something another, then along comes the devil and takes it away from you. That's right.
Just like the revival that's going on now. Just about time you get it started, and glory of God begins to fall, then some quack has to come up, and do something that's not right, and take the glory out of this thing.

L-66 Here not long ago, I went on here with one of our Christian sisters, painted up like a Jezebel. I said, "What's the matter?"
She said, "Well, glory to God." Said, "My pastor told me it was liberation of women." Liberation of women, what's the matter with you? No such a thing as that. Christ liberated you from sin, and act like it and dress like it.
About the time the church gets built up and get a good start, then something like that has to happen. Yes, sir.
She said, "Well, I will tell you." Said, "My pastor told me I could do all this..." And had enough paint on to paint a barn. Her--her fingers looked like she'd been eating raw beefsteak and blood over her fingernails. I thought, "Woman, you don't look like a Christian to me."

L-67 Listen, lady, don't you let that kind of nonsense be poured down your throat. A good old fashion case of the baptism of the Holy Ghost will take that out of you just as exactly like...?... That's right. Just remember you've lost some ground somewhere. I don't care what that woman preacher... She wasn't ordained, or God would tell you that in the first place. That's right. It's so contrary to the Word.
Listen. There never was but one woman in the Bible that ever painted herself up to meet a man, and that was Jezebel. God fed her to the dogs.
So if you see a woman all painted up. You just say, "Howdy do, Miss Dog meat." That's what God made out of her. Just an old dog meat. don't you pay any attention to that; that's of the devil. That's right. Oh, she ought to clean up and act like what Jacob said to his wife and daughter. Make yourself like what you ought to be. Amen.
