<TITLE>11. Par 43-46</TITLE>L-43 And that's the same thing this nation has got. That's the reason tonight, that we got all these warnings of an atomic war. It's because the nations has...?... this nation has...?... don't know it. And that's the reason that Divine judgment is upon them. Is because that we are, we're weighed in the balance.
I seen where our President, Mr. Kennedy... Tom, I believe his name is, Kennedy, that sent down for this--so many officers, down for this segregational war. He sent down four hundred and something, down in the South, to stop this segregational war. And when he ended up at his full course, he could send no more, he had exactly 666. It was in Time's magazine.
Oh, if the people was only spiritual and could wake up. And see, what it is: 666, that's exactly what they had. That's in this month's Time.

L-44 Now, we find out that until people begin to want God, until people begin to thirst... Jesus said, "Blessed are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled." Now, you got to hunger and thirst for it.
We're Christ's billboard. And Christ is our Sponsor. And this sponsorship is by Christ, and He is giving us our life to sponsor Him.
Now, what kind of a person would you be if you sponsored somebody? What kind of a person ought we to be if we are--are sponsored by Christ? He gives us salvation. He gives us our healing. He gives us our health and strength. He gives us our food. He gives us our homes. Then we are sponsored by Christ. And pentecostal people who's filled with the Holy Ghost is sponsors of Jesus Christ. They have been sponsored by Jesus Christ and given the Holy Ghost to be an example to the people. What ought we to be today? Where should the Church be today?

L-45 We should be so--in such a condition that would cause all the world to be at--want to be like us. Because men go down the street and say, "There's a man; I might disagree with him on his religious doctrine; but I tell you one thing, that is a genuine Christian." Ought to be women going down the street say, "She may look old fashion; she may not be like the rest of any of these women you see, but there's one Christian in this town, if there's one, there she goes." Because we are sponsored by Jesus Christ. Amen.
Oh, what kind of a person would--should we be if we are His billboards and we're sponsored by Him? Then in Christ is the One where we get our life, and we get our strength. And we get all that we have comes from Christ. He is our Sponsor. Oh, I'm so thankful for that.

L-46 So we must be like Him and be careful what we do, what we say what we do in our daily life, because we are sponsored by Christ. How ought we to walk if we're sponsored by Christ? What ought we to say if we're sponsored by Christ? If someone says evil against us, what must we say if we're sponsored by Christ? We must be like Christ, isn't that right?
Now, now, there's only one thing... Then another thing we must do, not the only thing, but another thing that we ministers must do. We must preach a Gospel that's appealing to the hungry.
Now, if we preach a social gospel, and say that, "Well, you ought to come join my denomination. We got four thousand more last year in our organization." That's not it. "Well, if you come to my church or become a member of my church, we'll see that you're taken care of in the--and when you get old. And you be a faithful member, and it's like an insurance policy. You'd be taken care of when you get old. We'll see to that." That still isn't the attractiveness.
