<TITLE>10. Par 37-41</TITLE>L-37 When this son was born in the home, positionally, it was a son, a son of the father. But now, what did that father do? He didn't have time to be with that one son; his business was great. So he hired a tutor or a raiser, teacher. And he searched the land until he found the right kind of a man, because that was his child. And he wanted that child brought up right, because that child would inherit everything that he had someday. But, he looked out all over everywhere, until he could find the right type of a man, not one of these men that's trying get a feather in his hat, tell a lie, or, "Oh your child's doing all right" when he wasn't. And he'd have to report the progress of that child. Now, that was placing a son.
The ministers here understand and know what I'm speaking of, the placing of a son, Paul in Galatians and so forth, the placing of a son, the Old Testament...

L-38 I think King James had that idea, the translators when he said, "In my Father's house is many mansions." A house was a domain. And in the father's house... Like in the Old Testament, in the father's house, he had many servants. And he went to these servants, didn't have time to teach his son, so he got someone else to teach it for him, a right man.
And that's what God was showing us here on what we call Mount Transfiguration, what He was doing Himself. God never asked a man to do anything that He wouldn't do Himself. Remember that. God would not ask you to do nothing 'less He did it Himself.

L-39 So, notice. Now, when this son was, begin to come to school-age, this tutor would go with this son, and stay with him, and bring message to the father how the son was progressing. If the son was a--a--a dilatory, not about the father's business, then how that tutor must be ashamed to walk up in the face of the father and say, "Sir, I'm sorry to say, but your--your son is not doing too well. He--he just won't; he won't learn; he doesn't care."
Well then, God, when He left the earth here, His Church, He selected a Tutor for His Church. He got a Raiser, Someone Who would be honest, Who would bear the truth, the right kind of a Raiser. It wasn't some archbishop, or pope, or general overseer. He sent the Holy Ghost to be the Overseer and the Tutor of the Church. But we adopted bishops and everything else to be tutors of the church. It isn't God's program. The Holy Spirit is our Teacher. The Holy Spirit is a Tutor of the Church. We've adopted every kind of an idea, all kinds of schools and theologies, and everything, when the Holy Ghost ought to be leading us...

L-40 Now, that's the reason where the church is in the condition it is tonight. It's being man-led and not Spirit-led. Sons and daughters of God are led by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is to lead the Church. Now, man might say anything, but the Holy Spirit will tell the truth on you.
Now, tonight, how do you think that the Holy Spirit must feel when It has to come up before the Father and say, "Father, oh Your church, umph, You know what? Your church, half of them don't even come to church on Sunday. No, on Wednesday night, they stay home to see "We Love Suzy," ever what that is on television, you know? They love the things of the world more than they love the praises and power of God." That's right.

L-41 I haven't got nothing against television. There's nice things on there. But when a Christian will stay home from church to see some silly play like that, there's something happened in that person's life. The Holy Spirit's went out somewhere. You're not about the Father's business.
What do you think He does when He comes up before the Father and has to say that His daughters, His children, His lovely daughters is wearing these immoral clothes, what they call shorts? His daughters...
