<TITLE>11. Par 47-51</TITLE>L-47 The trouble of it is today, people come to church and they're patted on the back. And the things is, because that they pay in on the collection plate, because that they become a deacon, because they become something else of the church; or either, or can drive up in a better car, or can wear better clothes, or--or something like that, you're respected and you're patted on the back. Brother, what we need today is some old fashion preachers who will call black, black and white, white like John the Baptist.
When he come out of the wilderness of Judaea, he wasn't dressed very well. He had a piece of sheepskin around him, with a leather girdle cloth of camel hair wrapped around him, and he come out preaching repentance. And when Herod took his brother, Philip's wife, and there--come over there to the meeting, I can imagine the deacon saying, "Don't you preach on marriage and divorce tonight, 'cause there's a great man among us tonight. Don't you do nothing like that."

L-48 And could you imagine a man receiving the Holy Ghost in his mother's womb ever holding down on anything that was sin. John the Baptist received the Holy Ghost three months before he was born. He was dead in his mother's womb, but the speaking of the Name of Jesus, he jumped and leaped in the mother's womb. Could you imagine a man that received the Spirit of the baptism of the Holy Ghost three months before he was born, compromising with the things of the world?
Walked right straight out and stuck his finger under his nose and said, "It's not lawful for you to have her." That's the way it... It cost his head, but he's in glory tonight amongst those redeemed in the other world. Amen. That's not popular, but it's truth. Amen. Notice.

L-49 Don't get scared when I say, "Amen." It means "So be it." That's right. Now, I know I get a little excited once in a while. You think I'm excited, but I'm not; I know where I'm at. I know just exactly what I...?... know what I'm talking about. I know Who I'm talking about, the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice, how beautiful.

L-50 And they begin to murmur and complain, and finally they were brought to Kadesh. And when they come to Kadesh, this judgment seat, judgment... And then all the whole thing was gathered together. And some glorious day, and I believe that day is at hand right now, when there will be a separation between the right and the wrong.
And I believe I could sufficiently prove by the Scripture authority that the mark of the beast and the Seal of God of the people of God is soon to take place, and even now taking place. The mark of the beast is the mark of apostasy. The mark of the beast was those who rejected the right; they were bored in the ear to be wrong the rest of their days. Those who receive the Seal of God is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 4:30 said, "Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God whereby you're sealed until the day of your redemption." It's come to a place where a person can't stand mediocre any more. That's right.

L-51 Just like a fellow was trying to go to heaven. He had a handful of tickets. The man asked him when he boarded the train, said, "What's there so many tickets for?" One of them was Methodist, one was Baptist, one was Christian Science, one was Seventh Day Adventist, one was everything. Said, "What do you got all these tickets for?"
He said, "Well, I'll tell you, sir." Said, "One kept saying this was right and that's right, and I've tried them all." Said, "I thought I'd bring a ticket from every one of them." And he was condemned.
