<TITLE>09. Par 28-30</TITLE>L-28 Now, you say, "Brother Branham, you're picking on the women." All right, you men. And any man that'll let his wife smoke cigarettes and wear those kind of clothes, it shows what you're made of. You're supposed to be the ruler of the house. What's happened? You can't make American homes. No wonder we got juvenile delinquency. We got parent delinquency. We got church delinquency. Certainly we have. That's true. Not to hurt you, but to tell you the truth, we got to clean up. Got to have a--a revival and get all the bugs out of the thing before we... God will ever come in.
Stand at the door, you say, "You interfere with my private life." There it is. See? Well then, you have a little... another little door called "Pride." Oh, my. "Don't you tamper with that. Now look, Brother Branham, I think it's so much today." All right. It's your private life. You say, "You got no business busting in on my private life." That's what you're telling Christ. I'm talking from the Word. The Word speaks for Itself. That's right.

L-29 Private life... "Just me and the Joneses..." you know. See? "Me and my denomination." You've got no right to draw denomination lines in brotherhood. That's right. Not too much difference in doctrines and so forth, which is all right. (I eat cherry pie and somebody else eats apple; but we're eating pie just the same.) We've got no rights to--to draw lines just because a fellow don't believe with you. You're...?... the denomination with you, so "I'll pass...?... I tell you, I don't go for them holy rollers." If you ever go to heaven you're going to go with them...?... plenty of them there.
"Well, I'm a Presbyterian, and I don't go..." Well, all right then. There they are. See, you'll let Him in. You'll let Him save you from hell, but you won't let Him be your Lord. "Lord" means "a rulership." "Lord" means "ownership." When He comes in, let Him be your Lord.

L-30 This great evangelist, Billy Graham, I was at his breakfast in Louisville, at his great meeting there. When I heard the man get up, and he took the Bible, and he said, "This is the example," which is correct, exactly. He said, "When Paul went into a city, and he had a revival," said, "he come back about a year later, and that one fellow he got saved, had got thirty more saved." He said, "I go into a city and have a revival and have 20,000 saved, and go back six weeks later and can't find twenty."
What's the matter? Here's the matter. They just get enthused with the evangelism and a big crowd of people. That's all. It's exactly. And the Pentecostals are getting to be the same. What we need is Christ being Lord...?... into His presence here and say, "Lord, come in."
