<TITLE>05. Par 18-21</TITLE>L-18 I was going to the market (Excuse me, sisters); I was going to the market with my wife the other day, and we thought it was something strange; we seen a lady with a skirt on. They're nearly all naked, you know, with them little shorts on. And she said--and she said... And I knowed many of them there sing in choirs, and you know, just fine, you know, a celebrity of the city.
And my wife is one of these old fashion girls, you know. And she said, "I wonder why they do it."
I said, "Honey, it's a spirit. See? It gets on them. See? It's a spirit. Them women don't mean--they don't realize what they're doing. See? They don't mean that, but it's a spirit that gets on them." And the first thing you know, they just start a little bit, then a little bit more, and sin is so (What would I say?) subtle, yes, subtle--just so subtle. It comes in, it's so beautiful, and it's so subtle, that's the way it takes you.

L-19 Well, I think, many times, that good, sound thinking men comes into an organization, and you get sometimes that you get a place in there that's kind of a--begin to come, "We are the group." See? And it isn't actually the brotherhood. There's just a spirit gets among them (See?), and it don't give enough room for the next brother. You see? I--I think that's right. And I find it in all and we know that's good.
So I am here, my brethren, to pitch in my net with you all to do everything I can for our--our lovely Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I--I--I don't have no... I'm not a preacher, just to say a preacher, like you men who are learned and called to that. I have a little gift that God gave me, and it's just like getting into a gear. I can't put myself there.

L-20 I met a brother here this morning called Bacon, I believe it was, or, Bacon, I believe it was, up there at the...?... Said he was here years ago when I was in the meeting. At that time it was just a little phenomena of put my hands on somebody, and then would know what it was. Then, you remember, I told you that He told me that it'd come to pass I'd know the very secret of their heart. Now, you watch the meeting. See? Now, that--that is true.
But it--what is it? Where I lack in something, God, perhaps knowing that I love the people, and He just give me something else to work by. You see? And I don't want--I--I want to make it for the whole body of Christ, everybody (You see?), for to try to influence everybody I can to serve the Lord Jesus. May be strange to some of the people, but I'm trying to encourage them, set down and see it Scripturally. If it wasn't in Scripture, then don't believe it. No, sir.

L-21 In the Old Testament they had a way of knowing whether it was the truth or not. If a prophet prophesied, dreamer dreamed a dream, they took him before the Urim Thummim, and then... That's the breastplate on Aaron. And--and no matter how real it sounded, if them supernatural lights didn't flash with that Urim Thummim, they didn't believe it (See?), 'cause it had to be the supernatural. And if the Urim Thummim didn't prove it, no matter how real the dream sounded, or what the prophet said, it was wrong. Now, that was in the Levitical priesthood. And that priesthood, done away with, takes away that Urim Thummim, but God still has a Urim Thummim. That's His Word. No matter how anyone sounds--sounds good, or whether it sounds so fine it would be the program, to me, it's got to flash on that Urim Thummim. It's got to be that Word, or it isn't...
