<TITLE>21. Par 78-81</TITLE>L-78 Now, some of you Pentecostal women with short bobbed hair, shame on you. Now, you know you're wrong. If you didn't know it till now, you know it now. Are you ashamed of it? If you are, raise up your hand. Don't nobody look. God bless you. That takes a real lady to do that. God bless you. That's right. God bless you. That's right. Sure you are. Sure you're ashamed.
You mean to tell me that you got bobbed hair and not ashamed of it? Trying to please man instead of God? Don't you realize that as long as you don't... You'll never from this day on ever be able to go any farther with God. This is the thing that bypass you, right here.
Say you got the Holy Ghost, dance in the Spirit, speak in tongues? You've relied too much on that, instead of that still small Voice. You can have mental emotions, but your life proves what you are. Can you get grapes on a pumpkin vine? cucumbers on a watermelon vine? You know you're wrong. Raise up your hand. Be lady enough to do that. Many of you haven't raised your hands, many of... God bless you, there's a host of them now.
You men that permitting... Some of you preachers, shame on you. You Full Gospel preachers that let your wife do a thing like that, shame on you. God have mercy on your soul, brother, with not the very decency enough to preach the Gospel. Are you afraid of her?

L-79 What about some of you that smoke cigarettes, still claim to be Pentecostal, still take a sociable drink with the boss. Some of you businessmen still haven't give up your things of the world, to--you want to... You've got to have a little sociable drink on Christmas. Shame on you. Shame on you. Don't you know Jsus is going to condemn you on that day? You know you're wrong.
Some of you has even bypassed the Word in these last days. Churches are getting formal. Something's wrong. Your congregation won't stand for... I know some of you preachers are innocent. You go out here preach the Word just as hard as you can. That congregation... Lay it on, brother. God will hold them responsible.

L-80 Some of you haven't loved Him like you should. Some of you are real honorable Christians, and you haven't loved Him like you ought to. And you know you're guilty. You don't pray enough. I'm going to put up my hand now. I don't pray enough. I'm ashamed of myself. I'm ashamed of my life. I asked Him to come to this meeting, and I'm--I'm--I'm ashamed of my life before Him. I'm with you. I'm ashamed of my life before Jsus. Bless His heart. He came from heaven this morning to visit us, came to us to talk to us, to speak to us. He's speaking to us right now, that little still small Voice down in our heart. There might not be rushing mighty winds. We've had so much of that.
Let's veil our face this morning with shame. I'm ashamed to be Pentecostal with the life that I live. I'm ashamed I have no more power in His Presence. I'm ashamed that I'm no more of an example of a Christian before my people. Jsus, have mercy on me. God, I'm not without fault. I need correcting too, and Your Holy Spirit's speaking to me.

L-81 We want to talk to You, Lord. We want You to forgive us. We want to be real Pentecostals, Lord. We want to be really filled with the Spirit. We're not ashamed of tears; we're not ashamed of You in no manner. And this morning You've visited us, and we want to wash Your feet. We want to give You our lives. We--we want to be real Christians. We want the fruit of the Spirit in our lives: meek, gentle, loving one another, forgiving one another. God, for Christ's sake, forgave us. We want to be like Him. He was our example.
All that has that desire in their hearts, that you'd just like to bow your head this morning in His Presence, knowing that we're guilty too; that you'd just like to wash His feet too, would you stand quietly to your feet now. God bless you. My wife used to sing a song: Dear Jesus, I love Thee, I love Thee. If ever I loved Thee, dear Jesus, it's now. Let's bow our heads now, everybody.
