<TITLE>16. Par 64-68</TITLE>L-64 What we need today is some good old fashion mammy's that would... I said I got two girls; they may lay stretched out, one of them one time too to get a suntan. They'll get a son-tan. But it won't be from that sun out there; it'll be with Mr. Branham's son with a barrel slat just as hard that I could reach them. They'll have a son-tanning all right. That's right. Be my father's, son doing it too. Yes, sir, it's a shame how you let down the bars. You Methodists, Baptists, and Pentecostal too... Certainly. Used to be wrong in the church, but now, oh, the devil might've went out of fashion, but he didn't run out of business, I'll tell you that now. Hallelujah. I feel religious.
Let me tell you, brothers, what we need today is a good old fashion taking the fire out of furnace and putting it on the altar again, get it right back out to the hearts of the people and--and the revival started. It was wrong then, it's now. That's right.

L-65 Notice, there, she begin to wear those little clothes. Her husband said, "Dear, I don't believe..."
"Now," she said, "Look, if Susie, and Ella, and all of them can wear them, why can't I?"
See, right down in her soul, it said, "That's wrong." Conscience will tell you that. But what did she do? She went to her intellect, to reasoning. "Well now, if the others can do it, why can't I do it? They're well-thought-of; they're all Christians; they go church. Why can't I do it if they do it?"

L-66 Now, you see, the Bible commands us to cast down reasoning. See? Like some preachers don't believe in Divine healing. like some people don't believe in the supernatural. Only thing they got is intellectual reasoning. Listen, this soul in here is God. And God will agree with His Word every time. He will not reason It; He will believe It. And when you believe it from your heart, the Bible said you'll have it. That's what it is, you're trying to make reason take it, when it's your heart that has to take it.
First thing you know, she begin to... A little slicker moved in the neighborhood with a barrel of grease on his hair nearly, and  He begin to kiss her good night at the back fence in a little love affair. And the first thing you know, she left poor John, run off and married this little slicker. Didn't live together a little while, till he found one a little prettier than she was, so... See, she ought to have had sense enough to know that. He run off and left her. And she married another one. Then he run off and left her; then she had a common law wi... husband.

L-67 But you know, the Bible said, "The soul that sinneth, that soul shall die." "Death" means "separate." She just kept getting away from it farther, and farther, farther, just getting away from her. See? The first time that she started smoking, she ought to  know. The soul says, "That's wrong." Reasoning said, "But the rest of them can do it, why can't I?" When she put on those little ungodly clothes, nature itself would tell her that's wrong. But she said, "If the rest of them do it, why can't I?" See where our American women's got to?

L-68 How, it's got so bad that out there in San Angelo...?... here not long ago in Rome, and they had a sign up, "American women, please put on some clothes before you come, to respect the dead." In a place like Rome, shame on you. I maybe burning you up, but my mama used to tell me when I'd take castor oil... I can't stand it yet today.
Every Saturday night, a bath in an old cedar tub and then have to take a dose of castor oil. We didn't have the right kind of food to eat and things, so she'd... I'd--I'd say, "Mama, I can't stand it." I'd hold my nose and gag. I said, "It just makes me so sick."
Says, "It don't make you right good and sick, it don't do you no good." So maybe I'll apply the same thing here. See? It get you right good and sick, then maybe it'll stir up your spiritual organs, gastronomics, so you can digest a good Holy Ghost dinner once in a while.
