<TITLE>21. Par 75-77</TITLE>L-75 I was telling some women here not long ago (shame them, dressing the way they do, with these little, look like a skinned wiener with them dresses on like that) how they're going to have to answer at the day of judgment for committing adultery. You might be as pure as a lily to your husband or to your boyfriend. But you remember, Jesus said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already." And when that sinner answers for committing adultery, who did it? You. My Pentecostal sisters, get back, come back to the old fashion...
That lady said, "Why, they don't even make no other dresses but that." But they still make sewing machines and sell goods. There's no excuse. See? That's right. It's exactly right. That's right. I'm--I believe that. So there's no excuses. We just might as well fold it up, and get back to the real Gospel, and back to the Word of God again, and get right. That's right.
Martha had a right. She said, "Well, it's my American privilege if I want to do that.
I said, "Yes. But you said you was a Christian."
She said, "I am."
I said, "Then you're a lamb, and a lamb forfeits its rights."
As an American Christian, American citizen, I've got a right to drink, smoke, do whatever I want to, buy liquor. But I forfeit that. I'm not of... I live in this nation, but I'm a pilgrim. My home's above. Every other Christian that's born of above lives from above.

L-76 My wife, setting out there, said to me... We went to a supermarket. It's a strange thing at home. We found one woman had a dress on. All the rest of them was... And they sing in choirs and everything. She said, "Billy, what is that?"
I said, "Honey, it's the American spirit."
She said, "Aren't we Americans?"
I said, "No. We live here. This is our natural place. But we're from above. Our people act like up there. The Spirit from up there come down on them. And if I go into another country, they say, "That's a Yankee. He's from America." If you go to Germany, you got a German spirit, Switzerland, a Switzerland spirit. Wherever you are, you got a spirit of that nation.
There's a spirit amongst people. Oh, mercy. Get to the right thing. This... Why not... If you can have a bogus, why not get a right one? Why would we forfeit the real thing for a bogus one, when the whole skies are full of genuine Pentecostal blessings? Amen. Why would we take a substitute for anything? Amen. Believe with all your heart. Don't you doubt a bit, but you believe that God's Word is right. Yes, sir.

L-77 Now. Martha walked up to Him, said, "Lord, if You would've been here my brother would not have died." Oh, my. That's persistent, breaking through every barrier. "If You'd have been here, my brother would not have died."
He said, "I am the resur... Your brother shall rise again."
She said, "Yea, Lord. He's a good boy. He will come in the general resurrection."
He said, "I am the Resurrection and Life. He that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Believest thou this?"
She said, "Yea, Lord. I believe that You are the Son of God that was to come into the world."
No matter how much she'd disappointed in other acts, the time had come where she caught faith. You know where I believe she got it? When she read the Bible, and seen where that Shunammite woman...
