<TITLE>03. Par 9-13</TITLE>L-9 Now, you cannot get a--a dove and a crow to agree together, although they were both birds and set on the same roost in the ark. Both of them are fowls; they both have wings, but when the crow was let loose, he was satisfied with eating the dead carcasses, that was floating around from place to place, and he never returned back again to the ark.
But when the dove went out, she could find no rest for the soles of her feet, so she had to come back. See? The dove cannot eat with the crow.
And the crow is a hypocrite; he can eat his own food, and go over and eat with the dove also. But the dove cannot eat dove food and come over and eat crow food. So that's the way it is with hypocrites. They can in the get church, and just rejoice like the rest of them, and go right out into the world and eat again. But a genuine Christian can only eat the food of God.

L-10 Why can't the dove eat carrion and stuff from the old earth, and the old carcasses, because it's a make-up of the dove. The dove is one bird who does not have any gall. If that dove would eat off of an old carcass, that dove would die immediately, because it doesn't have any gall. It just can't digest that stuff.
And a man or woman, that's ever been born of the Spirit of God, just can't eat the things of the world and tolerate with sin, because they have no more gall. They're made up different. And we're always known by the life that we live.

L-11 Sometime ago down in the south, when they had slavery, taking human beings and selling them just like you would an automobile... And there they would... Had lots, like you'd have today, used cars. Brokers came by and would buy slaves. Maybe, this plantation had a hundred slaves, and some broker would come by and say, "That big fellow. I'll take him." And over here, he had a--a big woman. Maybe not his wife, breed them, make bigger slaves. And they would go around and buy them, just like you would a animal.
And one day, a certain broker came by a plantation, and he said, "How many slaves do you have?"
And he told them, "A large number."
"Any for sale?"
Said, "Look them over, and price them." And he looked...

L-12 And of course, the slaves were brought over here from Africa by the Boers, and they were sold to the southern people for slaves, and they were sad. They would never go back home again. They'd have to die away from their own land. They'd never see their father, nor their mother, no more. Sometimes their children or their wives, brothers or sisters, they'd never see them no more. So they were very sad.
They were in a strange land, with strange people. And the white people would, slave owners would whip them sometimes to make them work, just like they would whip the horse. And they had to drive them around to do it.

L-13 But this certain plantation, where this broker was, he noticed one young fellow there, that they didn't have to drive him, had his chest out, his chin up; he was be just right at the spot, any time. They didn't have to scold him or say anything to him. So this broker said to the slave owner, the plantation man; he said, "I want to buy that slave."
"Oh," he said, "he's not for sale."
He said, "Do you... Is he the boss over the rest of them? He's so much different."
Said, "No. He's just a slave."
"Well," said, "maybe you feed him better than you do the rest of them."
Said, "No, he eats out in the galley with the rest of the slaves."
He said, "Well, what makes him so much different than the rest of them?"
He said, "I wondered myself, until I found out the truth." He said, "That boy is the son of the king of the whole tribe. His father is the king of all of them, and though he's an alien, away from home, he still knows that he's a king's son, and he conducts himself like that."
