<TITLE>14. Par 53-56</TITLE>L-53 Oh, my. Yeah, he got them all mixed up out there, and begin to marry, intermarry. That's the way they did today, when you got to wandering around. If you'd stayed on the real firing line of God, you wouldn't have done these things. Marrying believers with unbelievers, and in and out, and so forth, and marrying them that had been married two or three times and had three or four wives, and so forth, and marry them again. That's that old doctrine of Balaam. That's right.
Oh, he was quite a fellow now; he had a big name over in his land. So one day he jumped on his mule and started down to put a curse on that little bunch of people that was wandering around down there. God give them a little bit of what they needed, a little posterior protoplasma stimulation, just exactly what every youngster needs.
So God was a really pouring it on them. And when He give them a real good spanking, here come this old Balaam down. And you know what? He was so blind, and so sure he was going to win that debate down there with Moses, till he couldn't see the Angel of the Lord standing in the way.

L-54 You know, that's about like the modern Balaam today. Oh, he's got his D.D.D., D.P.h. double L.D.: I know all about it, and you know nothing. You know what the Bible calls D.D? Dumb dog. That's right. Yes.
Here he comes with his D.D.'s, you know, down through there; he was going to show this here Moses where to get on and off at. And he was so blind, he couldn't see the Angel of the Lord. Glory. That's a sure type of the church today.
People says this Angel that we talk about and the power of God is nonsense. There's nothing to it. "I went to the meeting. I didn't see nothing." No wonder, you're blind. Hallelujah.

L-55 You know what? That old mule knowed more about it and was in better condition than what his prophet was. That old mule seen the Angel, himself. We ought to have horse sense anyhow. So the--the mule fell down on his knees before the Angel, and God give him the gift of speaking in tongues. He did it. The mule spoke in tongues (Amen.), when he recognized the Angel of the Lord was in the camp. It's the truth.
It wasn't... Did a mule ever speak human voice before? He sure did, give him the gift of speaking in tongues, and he rebuked the pastor over it. Amen. What a scene. Oh, yes, sir, the mule turned around and rebuked him about it because she was on her knees. She could see the Angel, but Balaam couldn't see nothing but riding on down there for a big salary and a new church. That's all he could see. But the old mule saw the Angel of the Lord and fell on her knees. God rewarded her.

L-56 Here she come down right on down to the place and... Watch now how it means, brother, your orthodoxy don't get you too much. God always vindicates His Church with signs and wonders. Did you know that?
Look at this old mule, bringing the old backslidden preacher down there to curse God's people. That's what they're trying to do today. You'll never curse what God's blessed. You just might as well quit fussing about it. You just might as well come join up with it, if you want to go to heaven. Amen.
You know, I believe all--about all the Baptist is drained out of me by this time. I--I'm almost getting to be Pentecostal myself, I believe.
