<TITLE>14. Par 51-54</TITLE>L-51 "Well, I backslid, because I'll tell you, I just couldn't stand for them to call me this, that, and the other."  Well, you never got the mainspring put in the middle of--His Spirit in the middle of your spirit. See? You had a false impersonation. You--you cried; you had a foul conception. See? You would've... You just... You just accepted the emotional side and never got to the real side. You just heard the watch tick, and got the noise and went with it, started ticking, too. But if the mainspring is doing the ticking, if it's--it's controlling every emotion, then the yoke becomes easy.
They can say, "You know what? There she goes. She used to be a doll, but look at her now. Her hair's straight back, her makeup's gone. She wears these modest looking..." I don't mean to be now like something out of an ark, but I mean--I mean just that you should dress decent. "Why, she used to be the cutest little thing. We'd see her laying out in the yard with her shorts on taking a sun bath, but she don't do it no more." Something's happened.
The mainspring got in the place where it ought to be. That's right.

L-52 "Oh, he used to come down. He was a pool shark. He could play cards, a hand of this, and... He could rake the chips from here and so forth. He was a... But he don't do it no more." The main... "Oh, he's a holy-roller." But the yoke is easy.
You know what you to do with it? You just like to bear it. It's just like Samson when he took the brazen gates of Gaza, the big brass gates. He just picked it up on his shoulders and bore it away. That's right.
And when the yoke is lined with a joy, and peace, and sweetness of Christ in your heart, then you just pick up all the burdens the world casts on you, and bear them to a certain hill called Calvary. And there you kneel down and pray for that one that was persecuting you, not rain fire out of heaven and tear up the church, but you bring peace to them. "God, be merciful to them."

L-53 Now, the Bible said that when the unclean spirit's gone out of a man, he walks in new places and returns back. And when the devil that once brought you down to the alley, and when he comes back and finds his old alley has been changed, my, God sent His big bulldozer down. You know what He done? He dug up the earth. He turned things upside down. He just made a different view out of it. And where the devil returns back to his old tin can alley, where he used to have beer cans laying all over everything, and cards on the table, and cigarette papers all over the house, and love story magazines, and, "Truly" he comes back and finds it swept, garnished. Hallelujah.
God sent His bulldozer down and cleaned it all off. Here's His bulldozer, brother. You can bear with this. Sweeps her all out, bulldozes it all up, and He begins to plant gardens. And he finds a great new modern home's built there. Amen.

L-54 The Holy Spirit has moved in. And the Holy Spirit took the place of the beer can. The Bible took the place of the modern day literature. The Spirit of God took the place of modern theology. The prayer meeting returned to the home when the Holy Spirit come in. All the other things is gone out.
And listen, friend, in the beginning the Bible said... Look. Now, I want to introduce to you all of our intellectuals and our man-made creeds. As I close, I want to introduce to you something.
In the beginning when this world was laying here void, there wasn't nothing but a big ball of water where the great ice glaciers, and from the heat from the sun, as the flick of the earth went off like that and moved into space along, the millions below zero. It formed moisture. Heat and cold together creates a moisture. You can see it on the windows and so forth from the house, in here, and there outside.
