<TITLE>12. Par 44-47</TITLE>L-44 You say, "I don't wear them things, lady--or Brother Branham. I don't wear them little short things." Look how you do wear though. Women going down the street with these little old sexy looking clothes on, you know what you're going to do? You're going to answer at the day of judgment for committing adultery. The Bible said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery with her already." What if you dress yourself like that? You might be as pure as a lily to your husband. But if that sinner looks upon you to lust after you, when he answers for adultery, you are the guilty one who made him do it.
You might not love me after this, but the judgment bar... I don't want to be popular; I want to be honest.
Well, you say, "Brother Branham, they don't sell any other kind of clothes." But they still sell sewing machines and goods. So there is no need of trying to get out of it. That's truth.

L-45 Well, you say, "You're picking on us women." All right. Mister, here you are. A man that'll let his wife put on a pair of those clothes and get on the street, or smoke a cigarette, that shows what he's made out of. There's not much man to him. That's exactly right.
Oh, the whole church needs a good old fashion fanning out. We've trusted too much in dancing, trusting too much in clapping our hands. I like that. Shouting, speaking with tongues, and running over the floor, that's good. I endorse every bit of it. I believe everything God wrote in the Bible is the truth. But, brother, if we don't live the life to compare with what we're doing, we'd better stop doing till we get the right...?... That's right. The tree's known by the fruit it bears. Now, that's true, friend.

L-46 What does a mother say? "I don't like them little pin feathers. Let's get them out." And she turns that little eagle around, and she takes that big wings and begins to flash it. And brother, when that wind from them wings hits them little loose feathers, feathers fly ever way.
And when the church gets itself together, and bows it's face in shame, as them little eagles squats down, I tell you, there comes a sound from heaven like a rushing, mighty wind, and it cleans out the church, every bit of it. It takes all the worldliness out of it, all the pin feathers out, all the loose feathers out. Well, if she put that little eagle out on it's flight with them feathers in, it'd break it's neck.

L-47 If the church, under the conditions today, tried to make a flight into great gifts and things... You've had a lot of fanatism. I'm thankful, it has hasn't struck this country yet. This is a virgin territory. Ministers, I charge you in Jesus Name, to watch that stuff, all kinds of little isms and sensations. Nothing will ever take the place of the Bible. Right. Stay on God's Word; don't you leave it. Stay there.
Now, they get around with all kinds of things, and call themselves Christians, believers. Got to... I don't say they're not a believer. The chicken is a bird too, but he's never been nowhere. He ain't got feathers enough to take him up there. And if he did, it would break his neck. You take an old rooster up, with --with a eagle, and drop him out of a plane one time. What if the eagle took him up there and shoved him off. He'd disintegrate in the air. That's the way with some of these old crowing roosters around that says, "The days of miracles is past and so forth." They know nothing about the power of God. Jesus said they didn't. Educated in the barnyard, they know nothing about the heavenlies where you have to trust God alone. Amen.
