<TITLE>22. Par 80-83</TITLE>L-80 Did He pull punches? Did any prophet ever pull a punch? He sealed His testimony with His Blood. True men of God will never pull punches for a television program somewhere, or to get money in, or some great big educational program. He will speak the truth. If it takes life, he will tell the truth. Right.
They might hate you one day; but another day coming when they will love you, 'cause you're telling the truth. God's Word says it's the truth. There's no Scripture in the Bible for the behavior of the Pentecostal church today, not a bit. It's contrary to it--let alone you Baptist and Methodist. Whew. I know that's strong, but that's what I want it to be, so that you will straighten out. And someday you will meet yonder at the judgment bar. Brother, it's the Word of God. Your pastors and so forth, has got weaker than dish water. It's... The church is a meal ticket instead of the pulpit. Right.
We need men of God who will stand and tell the truth, regardless of who it hurts, if it takes deacons, trustees, and everything else out. Be honest.
Stand for God, and believe His Word, and God will confirm that Word. It zeroed once; it will zero again. But you got to zero with it. You can't hold the gun barrel this way and expect to hit that way. You won't do it. Hold it to the left and to the right. It won't do that. It will shoot a straight line. We got to get in this Scripture and shoot It straight. Amen.

L-81 "Sirs, we would see Jesus." The Bible said, "He's the same yesterday, today, and forever." Give us fifteen minutes, will you, the Holy Spirit and the church here?

L-82 Now, if I've hurt, for... No, don't forgive me. Huh-uh. Don't do it. Just go home and think of it awhile. I didn't--don't mean... I have to say things sometimes that cuts like knives and--and... But--but, brother, I'm responsible. I'm responsible before God to tell what's truth. Then if I've told the truth, God will vindicate it to be the truth. Now, let's see if I told the truth or not. Let's ask Father to come on the scene. Let's ask God to come, and back up what--if that's the truth. If it isn't the truth, He won't back it up. If it is the truth, He will back it up.
And you people that would like to see Him, if He will come and do the very same thing tonight in this church... No matter how much He anoints me, He's got to anoint you too. Jesus went into His own country, and many mighty works He could not do because of their unbelief. But when he got somebody believing him, a woman touched the hem of His garment and was made perfectly whole. Yes. Would you like to see Jesus?
Now, if... No matter what He'd be dressed like, what He would look like, if this Life is in Him, in the man or the people, it'll do the same things He did, because He promised it. Is that the sign of the Messiah now to the last days? How many understands it well? Raise up your hands, and say "I understand it. I believe it." Let us pray.

L-83 Merciful Father, oh, why do I have to say those thing's like that? People who feed my children, the--the people who puts clothes on my back, and pays my way across the country, and yet... God, let them understand that I'm only trying to shake them, Lord. I'm trying to bring the church back to the old path again. Let them understand. May the Holy Spirit let them know it's not in cruelty; it's not to be indifferent; but it's to be truthful, Lord, and to tell the truth regardless.
Now, Father, will You back Your truth up for us tonight? I've give them a strong statement that You're the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let the Holy Spirit come tonight, Father, and anoint this little bunch of people here.
And let them know that these people... I'm saying these things, but it's being taped here. This tape will go all over the world. It'll be translated in many, many different languages around the world, and people from everywhere will be hearing it. And I must weigh my words, Lord, that they are true; and Your Words, and not mine.
