<TITLE>09. Par 38-42</TITLE>L-38 And every Saturday night, all five of these little Branham's would come up to get a bath all in the same tub, the big old cedar tub. And we didn't have much to eat, so mama used to... Making our corn pone and things, she'd have to get meat skins from the grocer, and--and render them out in a pan, put the grease in it, and we didn't live very good.
And--and every Saturday night, mama'd make us take a big dose of castor oil, and--and then so we would go to school on Sunday and I can't, or Monday. I couldn't even smell the stuff yet without vomiting. And I used to come with my nose like this... I was the first one, the oldest.
I would say, "Mom, this stuff makes me so sick, I can't stand it."
She said, "If it doesn't make you sick, it doesn't do you any good."

L-39 So, that's the way with preaching the Gospel. If it doesn't stir up your spiritual gastronomics, it isn't doing any good. What we need today is a big dose of the Gospel poured down us. Exactly right. Might make you sick and angry for a little while but you'll pray through maybe. See? Oh, what a need there is this day.
And a woman... You women go with men, go down the street worth eighty-four cents. And it used to be wrong for you people at the church to wear this manicure on your lips. Or that's not... What is that stuff? The--it's paint. I forget what... Lip--lipstick. Used to be wrong for you to do that. But you're doing it. "Oh, I just wear a little."

L-40 Let me tell you something, sister. There was only one woman in the Bible that ever painted her face. Her name was Jezebel. And God fed her to the dogs. So if you see a woman wearing paint, you know she's dog-meat in the sight of God. So that He... That's what He's going to do with her, feed her to the dogs.
What is it? It's the hounds of hell. Go down the street [Brother Branham whistles--Ed.] like a wolf call. It's not a wolf; it's a hound of hell. And you're making yourself attractive to that person.
Live true to your boyfriend or your husband; he will like you a lot better if you keep that artificial stuff off your face. That's right.

L-41 Now, what is it? This little door of pride. I'd... Them two boys was standing there looking at this eighty-four cents. One looked over at the other and said, "John, we're not worth very much, are we?"
"No, we're not, Bill."
And I said, "But, boys, your body ain't worth very much; that's true; but you've got a soul in you that's worth ten thousand worlds."
You go down at the restaurant. What if you got a bowl of soup and you found a spider in it? Why, you'd sue the restaurant. You sure take care of that eighty-four cents. There's nothing goes in that wrong.

L-42 But you'll let the devil push every old, ungodly thing he can down in that soul and be satisfied with it. That's true and right. "Oh, don't fool with my private life. And don't have nothing to do with my little pride. You know, I got some pride. I'm a southerner." I am too. But, brother, when we become a Christian, we lose all of that. That's right. We must be Christ-like.
