<TITLE>07. Par 25-28</TITLE>L-25 I got a--a clipping out of the Durban paper that said that within the space of six months after that, in the Shangai tribe alone, I forget how many truck loads of--of ammunition, and firearms, and rings, and things that they'd brought back. And the pu--back to their place, because the people were truly converted; they--they wanted no more to do with anything wrong. They...
And now here is one more thing before closing: (Forgive me if I hurt you. I don't mean to.) What I can't understand in America where we're supposed to be civilized, each year our women takes off a little more clothes. And there stood those naked women, nothing on at all, a clout, standing there and never even knowed which was right and left hand. And as soon as they received Christ as personal Saviour, they folded their arms to walk away from the people and get some clothes. And if Christ on a native woman, a heathen, will make her realize that she's naked, and to some of our own Pentecostal women, claiming to have the Holy Ghost and continually stripping themselves out here to act like some movie star or some other kind... I can't understand it. There's something went wrong somewhere. See?

L-26 Now, you make think I'm just an old fogy, but brother, that's only common sense. That's right. That's the only Gospel truth, so there's something wrong somewhere, friend. What we need is somebody to say it, somebody to tell it, and somebody to live it. Now, that's exactly true.
Now, may the Lord help us. And talking like this, 'cause I know I don't want to take too much of your time; your churches will be tonight. You visitors (I know) had a good time at the meetings this morning, and they'll be having services tonight. And we put ours in the afternoon, so that we wouldn't interfere with that service. I want to pray for the sick. Each one of you that's here from visiting churches, you're welcome this week to come. We expect to have a great time in the Lord this week. Now once more, may we pray before we open the Word.

L-27 Lord Jesus, we are conscious of Your Presence. We know that You are here, and You've got Your children assembled together this afternoon, men and women who would die for You, freely, men who are gallant, who stand in the pulpit and proclaim the message of Christ without compromising any way, yet with meekness and sweetness... Father, we pray that You'll bless every one in Divine Presence.
Now, the Bible says that, "Faith cometh by hearing, hearing of the Word." And as I read this afternoon this little text that I have chosen for the message, I pray that You will take the Holy Spirit and draw from it a context, that would bring the truth of Christ into every heart and Divine healing in reach of every sick person.
And when we pray for the sick, may You answer prayer. And may even before the line can be called and the sick be prayed for, God, I pray that in Jesus' Name, that You'll heal the people before that time comes. That they might know it doesn't lay within a man; it's in the power of their faith to believe on the Lord Jesus. We ask it in His Name. Amen.

L-28 In Saint Matthew the 12th chapter and the 42nd verse, a very familiar text to many of the folks who follow the meetings. I would like to try to approach it in a--around another stand--another way.
 And the queen of the south shall rise up in the last days with this generation and shall condemn it; for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
Matthew 12:42. When you go home, you might read the entire chapter of Matthew twelve.
