<TITLE>05. Par 15-17</TITLE>L-15 The devil's took many of us captive. Years ago it was a sin for you women to cut your hair. But today Pentecostal women look just like the women of the street; you can't tell the difference. That's right. It was--used to be it was a sin, back in the old days, for women to wear make-up. And today you can't tell the sinner from the saint. What's the matter? Back to the old hewing line again, back to real Pentecost, back to the old Azusa experience, back to... That's right.
And then some of you preachers that let down the bars, and some of you men, why, you know, I'm ashamed of you. Any man would--that call hisself a borned again child of God would let his wife act and do the way the Pentecostal people let their women act today, it shows there's very--not very much man about you. That's exactly the truth. What we need today, brother, is a calling back to the old fashion baptism of the Holy Ghost and people is right back again. Amen. That's the truth, brother. It may scorch a little bit, but I'd rather be scorched here than burn.
If the devil has took you captive, it's jubilee time. It's time to come back to the old experience again, back to the old fashion Bible, back to the place where we can feel the power of God surge through, that'll call men and women to the altar. That'll make them stay on their face all night long and pray to God and seek for deliverance. Amen. What a time.

L-16 I tell you, Mrs. McPherson's gone on; many of the old timers has gone on; but if there was such a thing that they could look over the banisters of glory today, they'd holler "Amen" to that as certainly as I'm standing here. That's right. Back to the old hewing line again: back to Pentecost.
What we need to do is get rid of a lot of our fancy fandangos and get back to the Bible, and back to the old fashion Holy Ghost, and back to the place where man and women look, and act, and walk like Christians. Amen. You might think I'm a little excited; I am just a little crazy; but I tell you: I love to be this way.
Sometime ago, going down the streets here in Los Angeles, I seen a man had a sign on the front of him, he said, "I'm a fool for Christ." And on his back he said, "Whose fool are you?" So I'd just rather be a fool for Christ, than be a fool for the devil any time.

L-17 What we need today, ministers, what we need today, brothers and sisters, is this one thing: The devil has got into our church and got us all formal, indifferent. What we need is a calling back. What we need is an old fashion gathering together again, the sounding of the Jubilee, the pouring forth of the Holy Ghost, the out coming of the Spirit. Amen. Sure, there's cause to come back to the prayer meeting.
It's true, we have just begin to fashion off just like the world, do just the same things the world does. How it happened is a lot of Hollywood evangelism, and a lot of television, staying home at night watching television, instead of going to prayer meeting, watching "Who Loves Lucy" and all that kind of stuff, and staying away from the Word of God, and away from the church. And I tell you brother, that's the reason. You know that's the truth. God help us today to come back to the old fashion Pentecostal experience of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.
