<TITLE>16. Par 68-71</TITLE>L-68 I read a letter from the Lutheran church not long ago... Not saying this complimentary, God knows, out of my heart, over this Bible. He was really tearing one of those evangelists to pieces about some of their super-duper ideas of healing. Said,"What about little Deborah Stadsklev, when the mother rode over here and was standing there when... That little baby had died that night, and this was the next afternoon. Dead--the doctor pronounced it dead and everything; cold and stiff. Laid it over into my arms and I prayed for it. The baby started crying... put it back in its mother's arms. This mother was standing there to see that. She wrote when her little baby took sick in Germany, Mrs. Stadsklev... Captain Julius Stadsklev (he's a friend of Billy Graham's), one of my associates in the meeting, wrote that book that you're getting here now, "A Prophet Visits Africa." And now... and was there present when the Angel of the Lord came and they taken His picture, that Pillar of Fire that came down, comes in the meetings. He took the picture of that, saw it all.

L-69 And so he... when his baby died, that little mother wouldn't have any peace. She phoned from Germany, and the jet airlines of the American Air Force was going to fly me over there to Germany. Said, "This baby can be raised again."
I said, "Let me see what the Lord says." And I waited, and I waited. Two days passed. The doctor was very nice. They didn't even... they had them around there screaming over the baby, and hollering and carrying on like that, and everything--but no life. I waited on.
One morning the Holy Spirit woke me up and said, "Don't you touch that, don't rebuke that. That's the hand of the Lord." And I sent them word back.
That Lutheran minister said, "Why didn't you wait like that till you got a clear-cut decision from God?" Then you know where you're standing. Wait till you have THUS SAITH THE LORD, then you know where you're at.

L-70 [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]... hair... Something went wrong somewhere. Something went... They sure do it now. They say it's headaches. Well, brother, there oughtn't be a headache in the country then. Yes, sir. There's something wrong somewhere.
And it used to be wrong for the Pentecostal women... I've not been in the Pentecostal move but just a little bit, but I just see it gradually growing out, growing out, be--coming... You're looking at too much television, too much stuff that you oughtn't to be; instead of having prayer meetings and back to the church of God, them prayer nights like they had. No wonder we can't have a revival.
God could send an Oral Roberts, a Tommy Hicks, and what, across the country, still we got nothing to build on, till we get back to the old time St. Paul's revival and revive the Holy Ghost back to the church again. Deacons in the church married four or five times and all this kind of stuff, when you know that's not Bible. Amen.

L-71 I said to a lady the other day... She said, "I tell you I don't wear them little shorts." Said, "I wear slacks."
I said, "That's worse." Right. Yes, it is. The Bible said it's an abomination for a woman to put on a garment that pertains to a man. That's filthiness. Yes. Some woman said they don't make any more clothes... They still make sewing machines and you can buy goods. There's no excuse. What you need is the baptism of the Holy Ghost...?... Amen. You think I'm beside myself, but I'm not. I know right where I am. That's right.
Dress like that and get on the street. You may be as virtuous to your husband as you can be, You might be as virtuous a daughter to your sweetheart as you could be, but at the day of the judgment you'll answer for adultery. You'll be guilty of committing adultery. Jesus said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her in his heart already." You presented yourself that was and the sinner looked at you. When he answers for adultery, who's guilty? You, for presenting yourself like that. Amen.
