<TITLE>04. Par 8-9</TITLE>L-8 How many got the Business Men's Voice this time? Chri--The Business Men's Voice? I appreciate that little article, that vision. He put part of it in there which is very nice that, I suppose was wrote up by Brother Tommy Hicks. That--that made a change in me. I was always afraid of death. I thought I would--didn't want to be a spirit. I--I never know nothing... That's the reason that the Angel of the Lord Who speaks to me I know is of God. Because He had... First place, if He'd tell me one thing that wasn't God's Word, I would not believe it. No, sir. I don't care what it is; it's got to be God's Word. See? And there's all kinds of angels you know; we know that. But the... Paul said, "If an angel come and preaches any other Gospel than this that I preach..." See?
And when I got there and this little... I don't know; I don't want to say, impersonate the great Saint Paul, certainly not. I wouldn't do that for nothing.
I don't know, it was probably a vision, but there's one thing I know, I wasn't asleep. And--and if it was a vision, I never had one like that before in my life. I was just about as high as them pilasters or rafters, what you call it there, that ceiling tiles there. I just about that high looking right back at myself. And just as much as I'm standing right here, looking right back, and I could see myself laying there. Had a real funny feeling, I thought I'd had a heart attack and had died. And I thought, "Well, if this is death, my, this is wonderful." And I--I tell you Christians right now, you do not have one thing to worry, if you're in Christ. Don't never fear death; death has no fear to it, no, no, no. It's a joy.

L-9 And I met them women there. And honestly, I--I feel sometimes I've been a little hard on my sisters. I... Not--not to try to be cruel, but I--I don't want them to be like the rest of the world. I'm--I'm jealous of them. See? I just... I--I want them to be real Christians. I want them to look like it, act like it, and be like it, and be genuine. And that's the reason I'm zealous of my brethren. I don't want them off in little old social gospels like you get out of some incubator out here. I want them to be real men of God, stand and not compromise on that Word, and really lay it out there. That--that's... It don't that I try to hurt my brethren; I--I love them too much for that. I love people too much for that. But really love cuts, did you know that?
Now, mother, I want to ask you something, or daughter that's not mother yet. If--if your mother, or your child, was out here in the street, and you know them little renegades running through that street, and them half drunk and everything, that kid is going to get killed, and it wouldn't stay out of the street, would you say, "Well, darling, just go ahead and set out in the street; I guess that'll be all right." Not for... You wouldn't love that baby if you acted like that. Real love would get out there, and you'd put it on such discipline and spank it until it did stay out of that street. Is that right? Then don't get angry with me. See? Just want you to stay away from the things of the world; that's it, just stay away from it. Get away from it.
