<TITLE>07. Par 21-23</TITLE>L-21 Did you know Jesus Christ said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Does anybody know that? If I... And if you dress yourself sexy like, no matter how modest you think it is, and go out on the street, and some old sinner looks at you to lust after you, at the judgment bar you'll be guilty of committing adultery with that man when he answers for it. Why is it? It was you was the one done it. You presented yourself that way, so you are the guilty one. And you, no matter how virtuous and pure you've lived, you'll be guilty before God of committing adultery with a sinner, just the same as you'd went through the act. Jesus said so. That's not skim milk, brother; that's the truth. It's barbed wire. But it's what God's Word tells, it cuts and sharper than a two edged sword.
I don't know whether the pastor will appreciate that or not. But I'm telling you, my sister, at the judgment bar I'll have to answer for it, and if I don't say these things... I don't care how many people say liberation of women, that's a doctrine of the devil. And it's not in this Bible. That's right.

L-22 You see what happened back in Rome; you see what happened in Greece; you see what happened back in the old Roman colonies long ago, to the--to Christian church when they got acting like the world. You know history, or your pastor should teach it to you. And you see in every age what happens to that crop. And you see exactly where it is right now in the Pentecostal church. It's time to draw a line, and make a garrison, and preach the truth. You got examples the same as Jehoshaphat had examples. So let's draw a line, straighten ourselves up, and walk like men and women ought to, and present ourselves.

L-23 Now, the man, of course in his dress, he's not a--is not a sacred, or not a person like a woman's body; we realize that. Now, it's the women. And the women is marvelous. I've been called a woman hater. Anybody said that is don't--there--there's something wrong. I am not. But I--I love them, and I want them to be God's daughters, and to act like God's daughters, just the same as men. We must do that.
So we see those things as an example, and while you committees here, while your convention's going on, brethren, what's happened to you? You're reading the same Bible; you know the Bible teaches those things. So let's get down to business with it. Let's either be for God or be against God. When did God answer the most? When we acted like Christians or not? Why, John Wesley's move would raise up and condemn this Pentecostal generation, back in the old holiness times.
Now, you know that's so. John Wesley was more respectable in his teaching, and in the old fashion church long ago, than we Pentecostal has ever been. Now, that's true. Look what they did; they did things that we know nothing about. But God honored them and blessed them, because they walked upright before God. That's right. And we know that to be an example.
