<TITLE>05. Par 16-19</TITLE>L-16 Out of the two hundred thousand pulpits in America of Protestant churches, what we need today in those pulpits is prophets of the Lord who's not afraid to blast out God's thunderbolts of judgment upon this generation of sinful people that we're preaching to. We need prophets like Isaiah, who cried out and said, "A wicked generation..." And how that he did condemn that generation and tell them of the oncoming judgments.
But today too many of our ministers are afraid to say those things. They are scared to give a direct witness of warning, for it would mean some of their jobs. They'd have to leave their denomination, leave their pulpits. And they would have to--to go out perhaps, maybe take another stand at some other church, or something. But it's just too bad that we got those kind of people in our pulpits. We need men like John Wesley of the early reformation, Martin Luther. We need people like Paul, who's willing to give all and to surrender theirselves even if it means separation from this life as a witness of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

L-17 What it is today, that education, and societies, and little frantical, delicate things of societies, and their own feelings has took the place of the Holy Ghost in the church. What we need today to cry out to America is God sent, God filled men with the power of the Holy Ghost, who's not afraid to cry out against the thing that's wrong and to warn the people of the oncoming judgment.
God could by no means ever let this nation escape judgment. If God would do so, He would have to raise up Sodom and Gomorrah and apologize to them for ever sinking them when they was such a evil people. We are no--no exception in the sight of God. What we have come today when it comes to our politics, when it comes to our government, it is rotten all the way from pillar to post. There is no justice no more, only in God.
Oh, we say we rely upon the U.N., the United Nations. And better than five years ago they were fifty-one percent communist, of the nations in the U.N. There's nothing to rely upon but the Word of the living God. We can't rely upon nothing, not on politics.

L-18 I have been in trial for the last three or four months, under heavy fire, trying to accuse me of doing something that was wrong by passing the money through this Tabernacle here for the meetings. Which our Trustee Board here, signed the declaration, and there's not a person that's ever attended my meetings but what I've publicly announced that this money was taken up in our--in my meetings were directed through this church.
And now, they say because I placed it through the church, I was trying to defraud the government and want to give me twenty years in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, for it.
I said, "What is that word wrote over our--our courthouses, 'justice.' It means no more than it wasn't even wrote there, that when every thing that your own people told me to do, I have did it. And now you say that they're not with the government any more."

L-19 How can you, you'll settle one and prove it out. Then here they'll dig up something else. Not only that, but they're wishy-washy.
I made this statement in the federal courts. I said, "If communism had Christianity in it, I'd be a communist. But I can't be, because it denies Christianity. So I have one hand to hold to; that's God's unchanging hand, knowing that He will respect truth and honor; it'll have to come forth in justice."
But to let you know there is not hopes nowhere, only in the coming of the Lord...
Oh, it's such a day that we're living, such a--an awful time, when every physical thing, even to the church itself, the church peoples, the church denominations, they're so concerned about their little--their little differences till they won't even fellowship one with the other, and not taking warning that the coming of the Lord is at hand.
