<TITLE>18. Par 69-72</TITLE>L-69 Now, when you see those things taking place and knows that the hour that we're living, the sincerity that the church ought to be in, and yet just fabulous. You go down here at the market, or the--or go tonight for dinner, and they set you out a bowl of soup, and a big spider is in it; well, you want to sue the company. Certainly. A fly is in it, you would... Why, you'd call the waitress and bawl her out like everything. And yet you'll walk right around, and take some man-made theology, and push it down your throat: "Join the church and that's all you have to do."
"Except a man be borned again, he can no wise enter into the Kingdom...?... And these signs will follow them after they're borned again." See? That's what Jesus said. That brings the mark of distinction to the Church, the signs and wonders of the resurrected living Christ, living in the Church. They don't want it today.

L-70 But that little queen wanted it. But the first thing she wanted to know, "Was it Scriptural or not?" She studied all the Scriptures. Then she said, "I'm going to do another thing. I'm a queen; and if that message is right, I'm going to support it." And she ladened camels with gold, and myrrh, and frankincense, and all kind of costly apparel, and such. She said, "If it's right, if that God is real God, then I'm through with this thing I have been serving, and I'm going to support it with everything I got."
That's the attitude. Listen. God's not concerned so much about your money, but He wants you to support Him with all you are. He don't want ten percent of your money, so much as He wants your time, your talent, your testimony, and all that you are to be given into His hands, so He can control you. He wants to be your Lord; not only your Saviour, but your Lord--lordship, to govern you.

L-71 And he... And she said, "I'll support it if it's right; if it's not, I can bring my money back home." That's a good sensible thing for a lot of Americans to listen to. I think so today, too. Every kind of a program, and support it, and they condemn the very thing that you believe in. That's right. Go out and support radio preachers and things...
Now, I'm not condemning that; I have no radio program, never intend to have. Could have been on television? Sure. Had buildings and churches and so forth? I condemned it, turned it away. I want to be humble; I want to stay to a place, till I can go to anywhere, under any condition, and preach wherever God leads me to go with no strings tied, no nothing at all; just be free to do and say what the Holy Spirit says say. That's--that's my motive. Yes, sir. Stay with that and just be led by His Spirit.

L-72 What if I had to make ten thousand dollars a day? What if I had to make a thousand dollars a day? You think I could be at Klamath Falls? Certainly not. I couldn't. 'Course I don't have to have anything, just enough to feed my children. God sees to that, so that's all that's necessary. So there we are... No supports and things like that... And I believe that God gives ministers radio and television programs. I believe that with all my heart. But He didn't give it to me.
Now, the thing of it is--if you're supporting the right thing... But why would you support a thing that condemns Pentecost, and the Divine healing, and the power of the Holy Ghost, and makes fun of it? And you turn around, and let your own preacher on the radio starve, and have to cut his program off, and support such as that. I don't understand it. And I know thousands that does it. I'd support exactly what I believed in and what I thought of; I'd stay loyal to it till I died (Yes, sir), with everything: Not only my money, but my soul, my experience, my testimony, my presence, my... Everything that I could do, I'd support it.
