<TITLE>21. Par 68-71</TITLE>L-68 And then... And Brother Bosworth and them said, "I believe Brother Branham, that they meant physical healing."
And I said, "I did not mean..." I had fifteen interpreters, you know. So I said, "I did not mean physical healing; I meant salvation, that you--you accept Christ, God's Son as your personal Saviour, and you want to serve Him," many of them with idols in their hand. I said, "You that's sincere about it, break your idols on the ground." Like a dust storm, you see it go up, like that.
And when... As soon as they received Christ, them naked women... Brother, sister, they folded their arms like this to walk out of the presence of men. And if a raw heathen, that knows not right nor left hand, as soon as Christ touches them, realize that they're naked, and then we claim to be of the church of the living God, and stripping ourselves every year? It don't make sense to me. There's something wrong somewhere. That's right.
Oh, God. Yeah, we're in Laodicea; that's where we're at. We're--we're way down the line near the coming of the Lord Jesus. Oh, let's be ready to meet Him. Yes, yes.

L-69 Simeon... As I said, they didn't have the televisions. While I was on that, I made a remark, something on that... One time, there was a lady said to me... was talking about the way women dress themselves in them little old form-fitting clothes and things, and so she said--said, "Why..."
I said, "If you do that, you'll answer at the day of judgment for committing adultery." And somebody called my hand on it.
I said, "Jesus said, 'Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery with her already in his heart.' And you might be as pure as a lily to your husband or your sweetheart. You might be just as virtue a woman as there is in the United States, just as virtuous as you was when you come from your mother's womb. But lady, if you dress yourself like that to let sinners look at you like that, he's going to lust after you; and when he does, at the day of the judgment when he answers for his adultery, you're the one who presented yourself to him." There you are. So you're going to answer for committing adultery.

L-70 Some woman said to me, said, "Well, Brother Branham, that's the only kind of clothes they make."
I said, "They still got sewing machines and sell goods. There's no excuse about it." It's just the same. That's right.
We... What we need today is a good old fashion, sky-blue, sin killing religion, an old Saint Paul's revival, and revive the Holy Ghost and back to real Pentecostal messages again, back to the truth.

L-71 What it is today, so many of the evangelists in the field, evangelists, becomes a meal ticket to them. They have such big programs to sponsor, they can't say that before the church.
Some minister told me said, "You're going to ruin your ministry with that."
I said, "Any ministry that the Word of God will ruin, ought to be ruined and kicked out anyhow." Yes, sir. I said, "I--I..." That's right. You don't... What we need is back to the Bible, back to real holiness, back to God, back--back to where people can have faith. How can God build His church upon a foundation like that?
We've took our churches and made organizations, and we belong to them and settle right down like the rest. And now... We used to say, "The old cold formal Baptist," and now the Baptists say, "Cold formal Pentecostals." That's right. That's exactly right. Pentecost is more formal than the Baptists. Yes, sir. So there we are.
