<TITLE>19. Par 72-76</TITLE>L-72 It don't attract them any more. Something has happened to their minds. They just seem like their just mentally upset or spiritually upset. And their character, you can tell them about holiness and how to live, they don't pay no bit more attention to that, as if you didn't even say it. It doesn't... They don't realize that a son and a daughter of God should act like a son and daughter of God. They should realize their position, not fussing, fighting, stewing, carry on, and hold grudges.

L-73 Here sometime ago in the south here, they used to sell the colored for slaves. And they'd sell them on the lots just like you would cars, used cars, get a bill of sale with them... Never was right.
Then when... One day there was a broker came by and wanted to buy some slaves on a plantation. And they'd buy the big men and breed them to big women, and make heavier slaves to pull their carts, and plows, and things, and do their work. And one day a broker came by and he said, "How many slaves you got?"
Said, "I got a hundred, or two." Said, "Take a look at them."
He noticed all of them; they was away from their homelands, and they'd had to whip them, and everything, to make them obey, and 'cause they were sad. They knowed they'd never be back home no more; they'd have to die here in a strange land; and they never would be back home no more.

L-74 But they noticed one young man, they didn't have to whip him. Boy, he had his chest out, his chin up. He's always on the go. That broker said, "I'd like to buy that slave."
He said, "But he's not for sale."
Said, "Why isn't he for sale?" Said, "Is he the boss over the rest of them?"
Said, "No, he's a slave."
Said, "Do you feed him different than you feed the rest of them?"
Said, "They all eat in the galley together."
Said, "What makes him so much difference than the rest of the slaves?"
And the owner said, "I wondered that for a long time, but one day I found out. Over in the homeland where he came from in Africa, his father is a king over the tribe. And though he's an alien, and away from his homeland, he still conducts himself as a king's son."

L-75 Hmm. Why ought we to conduct ourselves, as cowards? We are sons and daughters of God. We're aliens; we're pilgrims and strangers here, but we walk back upon God's Word. It's His... We are sons and daughters of a King.
Don't lie, steal, drink, smoke, carry on like that; women shouldn't cut their hair and act like street women dressed in them kind of clothes. We're sons and daughters of God: King's sons and King's daughters. This is not our land. We'll die in this land someday, but we're on our road home. Let's conduct ourselves as sons and daughters of God. That's right.
And the queen of the south shall rise in the day of judgment and condemn this generation, because she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold a greater than Solomon is here.

L-76 Let's bow our heads just a moment.
I'm the child of a King,
I'm the child of the King!
With Jesus, my Saviour,
I'm the child of the King.
My father is rich with houses and land,
He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hand!
Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,
His coffers are full--
He has riches untold.
I'm the child of a King,
A child of the King!
With Jesus, my Saviour,
I'm the child of the King.
