<TITLE>15. Par 55-57</TITLE>L-55 So that little queen might've said, "I've heard about all them gods. I've heard about all them things. But I've never seen a move of life out of them. I've never seen one thing done to act like a god or nothing else."
"Well, let me tell you something, my daughter. If you go up there... You're our queen. You can't go amongst a bunch of people like that. Silly."
I might as well say it. It's burning me up anyhow. I was... My daughter-in-law and wife was downtown this morning, and they were buying some stuff in a store. And a lady said, "There's a lady across the street here from me, her husband has a business over here. She was up to that meeting over there the other night. And she had some kind of a something on her leg, and it was a... That man in the pulpit was telling that woman about that. And you know it left, and it thrilled her to death."
My daughter-in-law said, "That's my father-in-law." Said, "That's my father-in-law." Said, "Have you been up?"
Said, "Oh, no. I couldn't go up."
Said, "Well, why can't you go up?"
She said, "My husband is a deacon in one of the big churches here in the city. I couldn't go around a bunch of people like that."
My daughter-in-law said, "But you're welcome to come anyhow."

L-56 Then you talk about clans. Why, you holler about the Catholic. Why, you're the same thing (See?), just exactly the same. Pot can't call kettle black. You know that's right. Why, it's the same thing, exactly; because isn't one God the Father of us all?
Why would our denominations separate us? Why would some minister with some degree of college, would try to--to a keep a woman, that really needs healing in her body, that come from a place to get healed by a God that he claims he knows? That's what I wonder.

L-57 Brother, that little queen looked around at that and said, "But I've been hearing about all this; but I've never seen nothing yet."
"Well, if you go, we're going to excommunicate you."
"Well, you just might as well give me my papers now, because I'm going." See, when Christ begins to move in a heart, it's gone. That's all.
So remember she had a lot to confront her. She had a lot. Now, she lost her membership. And another thing, she said... I thought it was very good. She said, "If that thing is the truth, it's worth supporting." So she gathered up a lot of money, frankincense, gold, silver, and myrrh, and put it on the camels.
But here was her thought, I believe. "If it's the truth, I'll support it. If it isn't, I can bring my treasures right back." She could teach Pentecostal people something: supporting radio ministries out here that would make fun and laugh at the very religion that you are representing. That's right. And your own church suffering for the tithe that you would--ought to be giving them (yes, sir); just because they got some kind of a big name or something like that...
Haven't you never learned spiritual things yet? We should. That's right. We should learn to discern the spirit to see where it comes from. Now, that's not skim milk, now, if you can dissolve it.
