<TITLE>24. Par 206-210</TITLE>L-206 I've seen people at a ball game get so happy they'd stammer their lips, everything else. Don't tell me. We're in a need of a revival, a salvation. And the Pentecostals come around, get the people worked up, and tell them when they speak in tongues they got the Holy Ghost. And some of them live all kinds of lives afterwards. Listen, brother, at the day of Pentecost it wasn't so. They never relied upon any tongues or anything. While they were there standing in one place in one accord, God came down literally among them. They saw on each one of them licks of fire about like that hanging above their head. God was there. It was no "accept it by faith" or some emotion. They were filled with the Holy Ghost, and then went out and begin to speak with tongues. But first they met God. That's what's the matter today. People get worked up and excited, emotion, and it's not the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is tabernacling Deity. Your words is His Word. I tell you, what we need today is a call.
People go in... Women like that go in, speak with tongues, come back out, and you go to their places where they have their churches...

L-208 I wish Billy was setting here. I just got a letter from down there somewhere the other day where a woman said, "I belong to a certain great (the biggest organization of the Pentecostals, big trinitarian organization)... And said, "All of our women, Brother Branham, all cut their hair. I had long black hair." She said, "I always loved it, because I believed it was of the Lord." Said, "I never did wear makeup. Our church teaches that that's old fashion." Said, "They tell me when I had my hair rolled up in a bun on the back, said, 'Look out, you got a flat tire on the back' and all like that. Said, 'You're packing a flat--flat tire on the back of your head.'" And said, "Finally my husband said, 'Why don't you cut your hair and be like the rest of them.'" Now, I got a letter going back to her. She said, "Is it so (I heard one of your tapes.) that Christian baptism is in the Name of Jesus Christ?" Now, you know what she's going to get don't you? Uh-huh, yes. She said, "Tell me, Brother Branham, I'm hungering; I want to know what I've done."

L-209 I'm going to say, "Shame on that backslidden husband of yours and that godless group that you're worshipping with. Come out from among them." Right. God can't change. When God says anything, He means it. I don't care how many backslidden preachers that wants to compromise to get a big organization or a group. We need salvationists. Men who will stand and let their wives do like that, I got little confidence in your experience of being a Christian. Right. Repent or perish. My goodness.

L-210 Go in like that, join churches (Pentecostal churches), come back out and never change a bit, stay the same thing, never move a bit. Oh, mercy. What is it? Modern Jezebels. There's only one woman in the Bible that ever painted her face, and God fed her to the dogs. Modern Jezebels dragging their Ahabs around by the collar... Any little sissified man that'll let his wife do like that, wear shorts and things, and get out here on the street, and dress in dresses, look like she's skinned tight like a wiener, skinned up like that, and go (I don't say that for a joke; this is no place for a joke. This is God's Word. It's true. Right.)--walk down the street with a dress so tight on till she can't walk, then some man make a remark about her and you want to fight him. You ought to need your jaw slapped (That's right.) for letting her do it. It shows what you're made out of. That's exactly right.
