<TITLE>24. Par 114-118</TITLE>L-114 But it's time for the evening Lights to be shining. As the song says, "It shall be light in the evening time." It's time for those evening Lights to shine. This is the time.
Now, what's to keep them from shining? You go out any day, any day you want to, and just move back all the clouds, and the sun is shining anyhow. The sun's shining all the time. Just move the clouds. The same God that healed, the same God that filled with the Holy Ghost, the same God made every promise, is... The S-o-n of God is shining at all times. Just move the clouds of doubt away. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever.

L-115 But we got a lot of ecclesiastical clouds that's shaded Him off from us. A lot of denominational nonsense has kept Christ from us. Just fan back, by prayer, every one of those old clouds and see if Christ doesn't appear the same as He ever was; if He doesn't appear in the same Light, the same power, the same signs, the same wonder. See if He isn't still the same Messiah. Amen. Knock back all the clouds; wave them back from one side, see if it isn't. Sure. If you... But first thing you got to do is believe and act. Now, that's the--right.

L-116 The mighty man of valor. was correct. If God be with us, then let us see His miracles. Where's all the miracles? Where is the signs? If Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, then where is the sign that He's the same? What did He promise? St. John 14:12, "The works that I do shall you do also." Where is it? He promised it. "As it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man," when God came down. We never know where that body went.
There's three of them, three Angels. One of them was God Himself come down in a human form, stood there and eat with Abraham. That's right. He stood there and talked with Abraham about the--the things... He said, "I'm not going to keep this from Abraham; I'm going down to Sodom, I heard it's awful wicked. I'm going down to find out." Abraham fed Him milk, corn bread--hoecakes, you know, corn bread and some veal chops; and He eat it. Right. You say, "God eat that." Jesus eat after His resurrection. Sure He done. Sure, He stood there and eat it. Someone said, "That wasn't God." Well then, Abraham was wrong then. He called Him, "Elohim." He knew it was God.

L-117 God, what was He doing? He was showing something. Just like He cast out the bondswoman and her child at the--freewoman and her child... That's the reason Abraham didn't want to marry Hagar. But He--she said, "Marry her. Listen to what Sarah tells you" because it had to be fulfilled.
The prophet had to lay on his side for so many hundred days and the other side. What? For a sign. And He was showing a sign there: God manifested in the flesh, said... Jesus turned around, His Son, when He came on earth and said, "As it was in the days of Noah (eating, drinking, marrying, giving in marriage, that'll be what it'll be at the end of time) and as it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." As I said last night, there's always three elements: Unbelievers, make-believers and believers. And there was the Sodomites, the unbeliever. There was Lot, the make-believer. And there was Abraham, the elected church, called-out. See?

L-118 Here we set today. Here we are today. There's the unbeliever, the Sodomites. Look at them out there: women walking through the streets wearing shorts, smoking cigarettes, bobbing their hair, calling themselves Christians. Yeah. Oh, my, doing all these kind... Yeah, calling themselves Christians. Oh, yes, sir. Parties, dancing... Man perverted. I get letters after there... Homosexual on the increase. You see the... I get the government's statistics of it. Increased thirty percent last year. Perversion, natural course of human life perverted, Sodom... Look at the cold, formals just right into it, just the same, wallowing with the hogs.
