<TITLE>09. Par 32-34</TITLE>L-32 Go over to Africa, and see if that old boogley-woogley, or ever what they call it, rock-and-roll, that's originated with the Hottentots in Africa. And you're trying to satisfy that longing and blessed holy thirst by poking that trash down in the place where God wants to live and to give you freedom, and holiness, and happiness.
What a disgrace. What a letdown to the American people. And to you, Pentecostal people, and Pilgrim Holiness, and Nazarenes, who profess a higher calling than that, shame on you. You're dying and rottening in your own corruption.
No wonder, we can't have a revival in America. No wonder God can't place His gifts in the church. What has He got to place them in? You think He would place gifts in a thing like that? He just couldn't do it.
I hope that you understand what I mean. It's time for a house cleaning in the house of God, all the way from the pulpit to the janitor, an old fashioned, God sent, Saint Paul's revival, and the Bible Holy Ghost back into the church, back to make men and women, sons and daughters of God. Can't you realize that old dirty spirit of the devil gets into you and makes you act like that?

L-33 Some time ago, I was crossing the America, and I had to take a bunch of books over in a truck. I hired a sinner to drive it, 'cause I couldn't find no one else. When I landed onto the ground, a great denominational Pentecostal people, and this sinner got out of the truck and was unloading the trucks, and with the books and so forth, and he was smoking a cigarette. And one of the great high officials come up the me and he said, "Brother Branham, I'm surprised at you."
Said, "What's the matter?"
He said, "That man's a smoking a cigarette, that unloaded your truck. We Holiness people, do not believe in smoking cigarettes."
I said, "Neither do I."
He said, "But our people, it'll be a stumbling block in their way."
I said, "I couldn't have no... Get no one to drive that car. I had two trucks; I had to drive one myself, and get him to drive the other one. I'm going to lay him off in a few minutes. He knows that."
He said, "Well, don't you never do that again." Said, "Because our people are holiness people."
I said, "I'm sorry I did it, sir. If I'd had anyone else, I wouldn't have done it."

L-34 We turned around and walked to the place where there was several thousand people assembled together. And he... He said, "Here is my wife. I want you to meet her, Brother Branham." And I looked, she said... "She'll be your pianist this afternoon."
And not for jokes, this is no place for a joke. That's the trouble of today, we too much Hollywood evangelism and not enough of the old fashion conviction of the Gospel.
And that woman stood there with a dress on so tight, looked like the skin was on the outside. And she had great big earrings on, and stuff all over her mouth, and her--blue places behind her eyes, and real short cut hair, and it all fuzzed up like a fuzzy worm.
And she said... look at... She said, "How do you do, Dr. Branham?"
I said, "Howdy." I said, "I want to ask you something, sir?"
Said, "Yes, Brother Branham."
I said, "Is your wife a saint?"
Said, "Certainly."
I said, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but she looks like a "hain't" to me, from the way she's standing there like that."
[Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]...?... and they got the manicure stuff on... "Listen lady, let me tell you something as your brother: there was no woman in the Bible, that painted her face..." [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] So you can see what God thinks of painted face women, dog meat. That's God dog meat. What do they do it for? Not to meet God. That's not a joke; get that out of your minds.
