<TITLE>14. Par 112-124</TITLE>L-112 Why, you say, "They--they don't make any other kind of clothes." They make sewing machines, and still sell goods. It's no excuse at all. It's because you've got away from the Word. That's not popular. That's hard.
Some famous preacher come the other day and laid his hands on me, said, "I'm going to lay my hands on you and cast out the evil."
I said, "What?"
"Talking about them women like that." Said, "People regard you as a prophet."
And said, I said, "I'm no prophet."
He said, "They regard you as that, Brother Branham." And said, "You ought to be teaching those people, them women, how to get great spiritual blessings. And keep telling them about their cutting their hair and things like that. They ain't going to listen to that."
I said, "I know it."
Said, "Why won't you teach them greater things?"
I said, "How can I preach, teach to them algebra when they don't even know their ABC's, not even the common decency?"

L-117 And you men that will let your women act like that, I got little respects for you being a Christian man, Seed of Abraham. Amen. I better leave that alone. I'll make you all get up and go home. All right. One of these days you're going to fail finding something up there.
You say, "It don't make any difference." It did to Paul. It did to God in the garden of Eden. The Bible said that the woman should have long hair. And without it, where you at? Well, you say, "It don't make any difference." The Bible said it does. Don't let the devil reason with you, and tell you, "It's modern, it's all right." It isn't all right. You said, "I didn't know it before." You know it now. See? Search it and find if it's right. I'll leave that alone. See? All right.

L-119 Genesis 13, modern, uh-huh; go back where the Son was, not where the Son is, where the Son was though. Wife, I imagine, Lot's wife, how she got in society.
That's the way that we got in society. That's the way we Pentecostals got into it. We become, set a little organization over here, and a little one against, one against the other, and against this one, and they make... You took in anything. That's exactly right.

L-121 What did Samuel say when Israel wanted to--wanted to make a king, wanted Saul for a king? Samuel come to them, and said, "Have I ever taken your money for a living? Have I ever told you anything in the Name of the Lord but what come to pass?"
Oh, they said, "Sure, you're God's prophet. You told us the truth, and what you said come to pass, but we want the king, anyhow."
And whenever you started letting down the bars, and letting this and that, and everything else come in like that, you went modern. And the church is just like the rest of them today. What we need is a Pentecostal house cleaning. That's exactly right. Amen. It's a shame a Baptist has to tell you that, ain't it? But it's the truth. That's right. I believe the Bible; I believe God's Word's right. All right.

L-124 Abraham, then Abraham took the... In the 14th verse of the 13th chapter, after Lot separated himself, and Abraham completely obeyed God, then God come to him. Now, He's ready to bless him.
And until the Pentecostal church gets away from all of its creeds and dogmas, and acting like the world, and looking like the world, and talking like the world, and stay home on Wednesday night to watch "We Love Susie" instead of coming to prayer meeting, and things like that, paying your tithes out to some preacher out here on some kind of a radio program to make fun of the very thing that you stand for (That's right.), and all this kind of stuff that's carried on in the name of Pentecost, it's a disgrace.
