<TITLE>02. Par 5-9</TITLE>L-5 And here come another woman up, the same way. I said, "It must be maybe they got some kind of a show on, you know, or something they're putting on," clowns, you know, how they paint, you know, and look like that. And ordinarily I wouldn't think a human being would want to disfigure themselves like that, a pretty woman would want to look like that.
And then they had that... great big water-head haircuts, you know, that kind of a... it sure... It was the awfullest looking... A pretty girl standing there, and mess her... Well, what it is, it's that first lady idea, you know. And you know, Jezebel was the first lady of--of Palestine one time too. So be careful what you pattern yourself after. See? Don't try and... Try to look like God said. Let your hair grow out. That's what God said do.

L-6 The day after our meetings in Phoenix there's a little lady came up, and said, "Brother Branham, since the meetings," said, "I let my hair grow."
I said, "You're not far from the Kingdom now."
She--she said, "My sister had a wheelbarrow full of these shorts and things. She was going to throw them in the garbage can, and the next sister come along and got them." And said, "She said was finished with those things."
So I said, "That's all right. I believe the church will come back on its feet someday. If it keeps going like that, it'll get all right."

L-7 I met a man not long ago that said, "Why don't you leave off of those women?"
I said, "Well, I don't know."
He said, "People regard you as a prophet."
I said, "I'm not."
He said, "But they regard you that. Why don't you teach them deep things, how to receive deep spiritual gifts?"
I said, "How can I teach them algebra when they won't even know their ABC's?" You know what ABC stands for, don't you? Always Believe Christ. And that's--that's right. That's the first ABC's. Let them learn how to do that, and then we'll teach something a little different, you know. And so, when we get that, why, we're coming pretty close to the--to the Kingdom.

L-8 Now, it's been a great day. I had a great time here last night. Say, you know... Did you try some of that toxin? It's all right, isn't it? You know, Peter told them how to be inoculated. And you know they acted funny, but they sure was inoculated, that was one thing.
We used to... When we'd brand calves, you know, we'd take the branding iron, and slap it on them like that, and my, you talk about bellowing and hollering, but he knowed where he belonged after that; that was one thing about it. That's the way the Holy Spirit is. It might make you holler a little bit, but you know where you're at after that. That's right. You're a thoroughbred from then on.

L-9 Anything I don't like is--is a cross breeding. I preached on that some time ago, and always said one of the awfullest things is a mule. That fellow don't know what papa, mama is. He don't know where he come from, sure he's going nowhere, 'cause he... See, his mama a horse and his papa a donkey, and--and he's a... That proves science... When they think that men kept getting greater and inter-breeding, and so forth, from animal life coming up...
Why, first time you cross the seed, it stops it right there. It can't go no further. You can hybrid corn, but you can't plant that hybrid corn back again. It won't grow. So you see, they--they just done found the thing condemned their own theory. So you cannot do that.
