<TITLE>18. Par 65-68</TITLE>L-65 And anything I think is ignorant is a mule, a hybrid: great big old long ears, set there. You know, you can't tell them nothing. Got too much mule religion today. That's what's the matter with the world. They set there with that long sanctimonious face, you know, and say... I say... Preach the Divine healing, and the power of God, and they say, "Haw, haw. Days of miracles is past. I don't believe that old stuff. Don't you... Haw, haw." Just old, ignorant, mule religion. That's all. Don't know where you come from... You can't never teach him nothing. No matter, he will wait all of his life to get to kick you 'fore he dies. You know that.
I've handled horses, worked on a ranch. I know what I'm talking about. The thing's just an old ignoramus. But let... You don't know where he come from. He don't know who his pappy is, who his mammy is, or nothing else.
That's the way with some of these hybrid religions today. They don't know who their papa is. Say, "Are you a Christian?"
"I'm Methodist." "I'm Baptist." "I'm Presbyterian. I'm..." Oh, you don't even know where you come from.

L-66 But oh, how I love a good thoroughbred horse. Brother, he can tell you... They can look on his pedigree, and you can see who his papa was, his grandpapa, and his grandmama, all the way back because he's a thoroughbred.
I like to see a real thoroughbred Christian that's born of the Word of God. He knows where he come from; he knows who his father is; he knows who his mother is. It's not some social denomination. It's the power of God, the Son of God. He died to himself, and he's born again a new birth. He's a new creature in Christ Jesus. He's gentle. You can tell him something; he will punctuate every Word of God with an "Amen."
"Do you believe this?"
"Amen."
"Days of miracles is here."
"Amen.
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever."
"Amen."
I know--I know where he come from. Yes, sir. He's a son of God. Yes, indeed.
But that mule, that hybrid, squeezed off here and took his papers from one church over to another one, and over to another one. Why don't you put it up there one time, on the Lamb's Book of Life where it won't come off? Amen. You know I feel pretty religious right now, myself. Talk about... I feel like I could shout. Yes, sir. Oh, sure. She didn't have to spray her over. Hybrid.

L-67 Oh, you say, "We got the best churches." That's what's getting wrong with our Pentecostals, getting right the same thing. Oh, we think about some great big, fine building, some intellectual minister can stand up, and--and go out and endorse mixed bathing, and everything else, and all this other kind of nonsense: let the women bob their hair, wear shorts, and everything else, and call it liberation of women. Nonsense. That's right. It's a sin, and a disgrace.
What we need today is a good old fashion Saint Paul's revival, and the Bible Holy Ghost, and the power of God back into the church again to bring it out. Yes, we do. That's exactly right.

L-68 [Tongues and interpretation interrupts--Ed.] Blessed be the Name of the Lord. How we thank God. Praise God. Yes, sir. Amen to that. We believe as God sends it. Notice, and we accept it: correctly.
God wants real borned again Christians. He wants men and women who are real sold out to God, and not... You know, Hollywood shines, and people are patterning too much... We're too close to Hollywood. The--the Gospel don't shine; it glows. Hollywood shines with glamour, and the church is shining with glamour, but the--the Holy Spirit glows with humility.
