<TITLE>16. Par 56-58</TITLE>L-56 You--you'll call me a fanatic. You'll call me a crank if you want to, but at the day of the judgment you'll find out it's THUS SAITH THE LORD. Right. No wonder we got a church that's dying, not dying, but dead. Right. The Spirit of God is grieved and gone from it. Our ways has grieved Him away. Our differences and indifferences towards Him is what's done it. I don't want to hurt you. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to awaken you. God have mercy.
Give us strength and courage to stay on God's Word, bring It regardless of what it means, what it says. Take ministers to get money in to compromise, to run big television outfits, and things like that, compromise with the people. Not me. I'd rather lay on my stomach, and drink branch water, and eat soda crackers, and preach the truth, than have to stand there before the church on the day of judgment and condemned with them.
Our Kingdom is not of this world. My treasures is not in this world. My treasures is in heaven, and my interest is God's people, His church. Don't pattern yourself after some pastor's wife, or some minister's wife, or evangelist's wife. Pattern yourself after the Bible. Right.

L-57 Today we got to match. A woman can wear a certain dress to church, or get a certain hairdo, and every woman wants to wear the same thing. Does the same amongst both sex. I don't care whether my coat matches my trousers or my tie matches my shirt. I want my experience to match God's Bible. That's what kind of matching we need today, a revival of that kind of a match, with the Spirit of Jesus Christ living among us.
That's... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]
They can't mix together like they do up here in Los Angeles, and around here. They can't mix... [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] You can't tell one from the other now. They all look alike. Them days it was different. If a woman was bad, she was marked bad. She stayed in her own company. She didn't associate with the rest of them. Now, it's just like taking a--an egg and go picking with the middle of it. Just gets the whole thing yellow. See? So that's what it is now.
Look, I was reading here where a proverb--perverts, rather, over the nation in Los Angeles, how it is... Oh, it's terrible. Your increase is about thirty percent over last year. What a... Why, it's a Sodom. Oh, may God shake the people here, send a revival somewhere that'll shake the Pentecostal church back to its senses again, spitting fire over the audiences that the people might understand this hour that we're living: sitting asleep. Of course the Bible said they'd do it, I guess. Well, there you are.

L-58 Now, this woman comes out. And she, maybe she come out that time; maybe she'd been out all night and slept till that time. But anyhow, she come out with a pitcher. She put the little strings under with the little hooks and let the windle down to get the water. And when she'd about got her water drawed up, she heard somebody say, "Woman, bring Me a drink."
Now, remember she's a Samaritan. Now, He'd showed this sign of Messiah to the Jews. Now, here's the Samaritans. "Woman, bring Me a drink."
She said, looked over, and she said, "Well, now (I'll make it--break it down), we have segregation here. It's not customary for you, being a Jew, ask me, a woman of Samaria, such a thing." And she said...
