<TITLE>06. Par 23-25</TITLE>L-23 Monday night will be on the Ephesus church, and then Smyrna, Sardis, and on down to Thyatira, on down to the Sunday morning a week, I'll be speaking on the Laodicean church. And in between there, how that there's an open door set between the Philadelphian and the Laodicean Church Age. And that's the door we want to speak of at--on that service.
Now, the Lord bless, and you be praying for me. Now, before we approach the great Word, the Word of God, the infallible Word... My faith is built solemnly upon this Word. When this Word says it then I--I just believe It. I--I don't try to add anything to It, or take anything away from It.
And this morning I--I might have to apologize to these--some of these fine people here about some of those rude remarks about mules being illegitimate. But I--I didn't mean to be rude or sacrilegious, but I was just trying to make a point. You understand, don't you?

L-24 Anything a mule... Oh, my. That's what man did. See? He can't--he can't come back. He--he can't go no farther. He--He don't know who his papa, mama is, he's just--he's just--he's just without hope; that's all--that's all. He--he can never reproduce himself again, so he's just... But you know, if anything he doesn't have no... He will wait all of his lifetime to get to kick you just before he dies, and kill you, if he can. He will sure do it. He--he will just wait all of his lifetime, laying back just waiting, "Now, I'll get you around behind me someday." And that's just the way a lot of people in church is like that. That's right.
"Oh, I'll pat you on the back till I get a chance to cut your throat." See?
But you know, I like a horse, don't you? oh, especially a pedigreed horse, one that--that knows his--his ancestors, who they are, where they come from, from papa, mama, grand papa, great-grand papa, great-great-grand papa, on way back. He knows his line of blood. You can put some confidence in him.

L-25 That's the way it is with the--with the Christian. It's a... I like a pedigreed Christian, a Holy Ghost born Christian, not out of some creed, but he knows what blood stream he's from. He's genuine, pedigreed, Pentecostal throughout, born of the Holy Ghost, all the way back to Pentecost his experience. I like that, a pedigreed Christian. He knows where he come from. He knows who his papa is, who his mama is, Who his Saviour is, and Who his God is. Amen. A real pedigreed Christian, I like that.
And so, that's the difference. A mule, he doesn't know; he just sticks his ears out, and cannot learn nothing, knows nothing, and he's a critter all right.
Now, do you love the Word of the Lord? Oh, my. It's wonderful.
