<TITLE>11. Par 51-55</TITLE>L-51 You know, they tell me in the physical realm, that if you're just used to eating a little bit, that's all you can eat. But you can just keep eating more and more and more till your--your stomach swells larger and larger. I'm telling you what the church needs today is a good old fashion spiritual gastronomical jubilee, is what--is exactly what we need. Is to eat on the Word of God until we--just crowd out all the world and crowd everything out and stick the Word of God in there and live by It, die by It.
The lamb, sure, God's lambs, they're meek lambs, gentle lambs. They love sheep Food, and they stay right with the Word.

L-52 Now, it's getting late. Oh, I just--just take this and just imagine what else I would say. See? I want to tell you something, brethren. What the church needs today is to come back.
You say, "Brother Branham, what--what--what's the remedy? What is the remedy today?" The remedy is this: You just be the lamb; God is still the Dove. Now, He hasn't flew very far. He just flew up on the--right out on a tree, just ahead of you there. He's longing and He's waiting to see a time when you'll just surrender yourself. Say, "Oh, precious Dove of God, come back to my heart again."

L-53 When you get down, going to read the Word, you say, "Oh, my. I--I'm supposed to read a--a verse today. My. What I'd do--get me the shortest verse there is. Oh, I--I... Wherever the Bible opens, I'll read it." And it happens to be one of the long Psalms, or... "Oh, my, I'll just read half of it." See? There you are.
But the lamb just loves to eat that sheep Food, just eats It and loves It, just stays right with It and keeps his head in the trough all day long eating. Certainly. He loves it, and he's glad to be led by the Holy Spirit, the Christian is. He's led by the Dove of God.

L-54 Brother, sister, let me say this in my closing remark: That only remedy back again is for... You'll never... You can preach it to the people; I've done it for years. And the holiness church, the women continue to bob their hair. Every year they let their girls wear these little old shorts and things out on the streets. And then a boy will say something to her, insult her; and you, papa, you want to put the boy in jail. Brother, you're the one that needs to go for letting her go out like that. That's exactly right.
And she'll get out here on the beach somewhere and stretch herself out to get a suntan in the backyard, or out somewhere with one of those clothes on, just a towel laying over her or something, and somebody make a remark about her and you'll think, "Oh, well, the little darling wanted her suntan."
Listen. I've got two girls; they're little yet. I hope I live to see them women. And if one of them ever stretches herself out like, they'll get a son-tanning, but it'll be Mr. Charles Branham, my father's son, giving them a tanning with a barrel slat. And they'll really have one that they'll remember a long time too. I'm...

L-55 What we need... It's not juvenile delinquency; it's parent delinquency. It's because that the parents has neglected. And a whole lot of it is the way the church never preached it. What's the matter, brethren? Get back to the Gospel; preach old-time holiness and get it into the church again. We must have a standard.
