<TITLE>13. Par 49-52</TITLE>L-49 One day when they were... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] And they'd take whips and whip them to make them--to make them work. And they noticed one young man in this certain plantation. They didn't have to whip him. Brother, he had his chest out, his chin up, he was right about it.
And this broker said, "I'd like to buy that slave."
Oh, but the owner said, "He's not for sale."
He said, "Well, he's so much different from the rest of them."
Said, "Yes, I have learned that."
"Well," said, "I suppose he's the boss over all of them."
Said, "No, he's just a slave."
He said, "Well, maybe you feed him better than you do the rest of them."
He said, "No, they all eat out there in the galley together."
He said, "Well, what makes him so much different than what the rest of them is?"
And the owner said, "I wondered that for a long time, too. But I come to find out, over in the homeland, where he come from, his father is a king of the tribe. And yet, he's an alien in another country here, away from home, but he knows he's the son of a king. And he conducts himself like one."

L-50 Brother, sister, if an African man in an alien country could conduct himself, behaving to a son of a king, ought we not as sons and daughters of God to act like it and conduct ourselves as sons and daughters of God, when our Father is the King? Then the women ought to dress like daughters of God. That's right.
And man... Oh, my... Any man that will let his wife wear shorts and smoke cigarettes, I got little opinion of him being a man. That's right. He's supposed to be the head of the house. It shows who's boss around there. That's exactly right. Yes, oh, I...

L-51 Man ain't measured by muscles; that's beast. Man's measured by character. I seen men that weighed two hundred pounds and all muscle and didn't have an ounce of man in him. Throw a baby out of a mother's arms and ravish her, that ain't a man; that's a beast. That's brute. Man is character. There never was a man like Jesus Christ.
But the Bible said there was no beauty that we should desire Him. Probably a little, bitty Fellow, stooped in the shoulder or something... We all hid as it was our faces from Him. But He... There never was a character like that. That's what real man is. You don't measure a man's muscles, but by the bags of the knees in his pants where he's been praying. That's the way you measure a man, by character. It's true.

L-52 Oh, how the Holy Spirit must blush to come up before the Father saying, "You know what? Your servants are compromising. They're beginning to say that the days of miracles is past. There's no such a thing as Divine healing. And we don't need all that shouting, and speaking in tongues, and gifts. Let's just be a church. Took all the glory from the power in the church and maybe turned it into an organization of some sort."
That's all right. But as long as the organization stays with the power of God, God bless that organization. That's the reason I'm Pentecostal today, because I think it's got more power of God in it than any organization I ever seen. But when the Pentecostal power leaves the Pentecostal church, I'll go with it. That's right, certainly. Stay with God.
