<TITLE>03. Par 17-25</TITLE>L-17 And now, sometimes we think we are the elected, and I hope we are; but let's just stay right straight with the Bible. And then if everything is right with the Scripture, and order in the Scripture, bringing glory to God and the honor of the church, and so forth, then we know that it is of God because the Bible backs it up. But just our theory won't back it up; it won't do no good; it falls through.
So then if something has struck us, no matter how real it seems if it's not right, not Scriptural, get rid of it right now; 'cause there's--there's a real one waiting. You see?

L-19 So pray now. And always, and whatever you do, pray for me. Pray for me, 'cause we're now striking the fields for the last times to my opinion. We're now going...
And, remember, great things are taking place; it's unknown amongst the world. Jesus come, lived, died, and sacrificed, went back to glory, and millions never even knowed nothing about it. See? It's not flowerly, great, big; it's--it's... He came to His own. See? And the... "He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches," not to the outside, "to the church." It's the church that gets its shaking.

L-21 I used to think different from that till one day He spoke to me, had me to go back in the Word and think of how that the prophets all spoke of when John came, said, "The high places would be made low, and the low places made high." And how the power of God would work, and the--the... "All the mountains would skip like little rams, and the leaves would clap their hands." Well, that looked like that something really was going to take place. See? And when it did, what happened? An old fellow come out of the wilderness, probably a beard growed all out and an old piece of sheepskin wrapped around him. There was no conveniences out there in the wilderness. He'd been there since he was nine years old; and he was thirty then. Come walking out of the wilderness, stomping out, preaching repentance, standing in mud to his knees, probably, on the banks of the Jordan. And that's when the high places was made low and the low places made high. See? It's...
You have to have spiritual understanding. Remember, God never did and never will, on this earth, dwell in glamor. He's against it. He'll never... The great messages will never be make great big so-and-so-and-so, and... It don't do that way. His servants don't work in that manner. His glamor and glory is of above.

L-23 Yesterday, or two days ago, going out to Kentucky, up in Kentucky with my good friend, Brother Banks Wood, there was a woman policeman standing out there, and he said, "Boy, we better slow down," said, "she's rough."
And I said, "Yeah, that's right." I said, "When a nation gets to a place where millions are employed, and they have to take women and make policemen and stand them out there, and cab drivers and things like that, it's one of the great stains on our nation." She's got just about as much business out there as a--as a rabbit's got in a kettle of grease. See? It just--it just--just is not her place. And I said, "That used to bother me so bad, but now I begin to remember, why, no wonder, this is--this is not our kingdom; we're not of this world. They've... you...

L-25 Why don't women, our women wear their--their hair short, and makeups, and rock-and-roll's, and all this stuff? Why people go to ordinary churches and things, think that's all right. Why? It... They--they are Americans; they are Americans, got American spirit. We're not Americans; we're Christians. We live... Our spirit is of another Kingdom. If our spirit was of this kingdom then we would worship with these things, then we'd worship all these vulgar songs and worship all this rock-and-roll. "Wherever your heart is, there your treasures is." And our treasures is above. So therefore, we're going to a Kingdom.
