<TITLE>02. Par 5-8</TITLE>L-5 And now, I am not very formal, because, you know, God's without form. The Bible said so. So we don't have nothing formal. Around our home, we--it's nothing formal. I have three lovely little ones at home, and Billy, my son, is with me. And we're just a great family of people that love the Lord with all of our heart.
I've got a little boy about... he was... Yesterday he was six years old. And... But six years before he came, the Lord told me I would have this son. And I should call his name Joseph. And the little boy is already seeing visions and speaking things that actually comes to truth perfectly. Just...
Someday, I'll have to... I hope to walk with him down to the Jordan, and catch my chariot, and go up. I hope he screams, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel, the horseman thereof."
My little girls, one of them is not so very little no more. She's already fourteen. They're daddy's girls, you know how we love our children.

L-6 Sometime ago, I was just thinking, I met a friend this afternoon, or a man who introduced himself as Mr. Pedigrew. He has a name of a fine Baptist minister friend of mine in Louisville, Kentucky, Dr. Pedigrew.
Speaking one day, was thinking of a time that... Brother Pedigrew was always such a diplomat in his speaking. He was so precise and cut just to the moment, you know. And--and used very good grammar, like if he had taught Webster. And--and I--and I'd use my old southern "his," and "hain't," and "tote," and "fetch," and "carry," and all them.
And he said, "Billy, I believe you could polish up a little on your grammar."
I said, "Well, I tell you, doctor," I said, "I was... I guess that's right. But" I said, "I was raised in a family of ten children, and I did not get an education. Since the Lord has called me, I haven't had time to polish up on it."
He said, "Well, I think the people would appreciate you more. You use that expression tonight, said... You said, 'The people passing by this polepit... '" And said--he said, "The people would appreciate you more if you'd have said, 'pulpit.'"
I said, "Sir, that's perhaps right. But I want to different with you." See? "I said them people out there don't care whether I say 'pulpit' or 'polepit,' as I long as I live the right kind of life and produce what I'm talking about. That's the main thing." That's the main thing.

L-7 It--it isn't in grammar. It's in a surrendered life. Many times we have got too much on that. We've got to get so much in grammar and so much--that's the intellectual. God is not intellectual, He's spiritual. And that's... We believe God by the Spirit, by faith.
A little kind of a parable... One night I'd--coming home and the little girls was waiting up for me, little Sarah, and Rebekah is the oldest. And they being daddy's little girls, they were waiting for me late, and their little eyes, the sandman sprinkled something in them, you know, and they got sleepy. And mama puts them to bed.
So I got in about three o'clock in the morning, after a great service and so... walking the floors. And--and coming down, dropping from that great dimension there, down here.

L-8 See, the--the ordinary man rides down here, the Christian rides a little above that, above the things of the world. But in this, you go on beyond that into vision. You cannot explain it. There's no need of trying it.
And friends, if I never see you again, that's truth. I can't answer for impersonators or carnal comparisons. But I do know what's truth. God is God. He's just as real as He ever was. And we know we have carnal comparisons and impersonations and so forth. That... Well, that all goes in all kinds of life. You have to remember that.
