<TITLE>21. Par 75-78</TITLE>L-75 Now, let me tell you something, lady. Just listen to this, sister, in here. You go ahead and do the way you wish to. But you dress in them vulgar clothes, and get out here on the street, you put your daughters out there like that, and some man looks at her in the wrong way... You may be as pure as a lily. You might be as honorable to your husband as you could be, or to your boyfriend. But at the day of judgment you're going to answer for committing adultery; for Jesus said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart." Who's guilty? You presented yourself. You're guilty.
And then that hybrid preacher stand in the pulpit and ashamed to tell them, then it's a meal ticket. They've got to do it to hold their denominational rights, and their big churches, and things.
What we need today is real men of God, who stands out on that Word and tells the truth about it. That's right. Remember, there'll only be a few saved anyhow. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, wherein eight souls were saved, so will it be at the coming of the Son of man."

L-76 Now, watch. She admitted... The--the--the real true faith always admits the Word is right. Now, watch... Always admitting the Word is right: "Truth, Lord. I'm nothing but a dog. Truth, Lord. You never sent--You wasn't sent to my race. That's the truth."
She didn't want to see what this was, or that was. She just admitted that the Word was right. And the Spirit of faith always admits the Word is right. Notice. "True, Lord. I'm not after the children's bread. But let me just take the crumbs that falls from the master's table, just the crumbs."
That got Him. That was it. He said, "For this saying thy... Go Thy way. Thy daughter is made whole." Faith admits the truth. The same now. Faith always goes with the Word. She was perseverant, and she got what she asked for regardless of circumstances.

L-77 Martha in the Presence of Jesus, she was perseverant. She stood there, and she believed. And no matter... even though her brother was dead for four days and now stinketh, she said, "Lord, he's dead. He stinketh. But even now, whatever You ask God, God will give it to You." She was perseverant.
That's where we don't get anything. We're not perseverant. We're not got the faith. We don't hold on.
The Shunammite woman was perseverant before Elijah. She said, "True, that's right." Said, "You blessed me and the baby come. The baby's dead." But said, "Now, I'll not leave you. As sure as your soul never dies, and the Lord your God lives, I'm not going to leave You." Till she got the answer for her child, she was perseverant. Faith holds the Word.

L-78 Micaiah, standing there before four hundred prophets, all fed, and fixed-up, and wearing their uniforms, and dressed. And Micaiah... There come Jehoshaphat. He was a believer, a man of God, come down with Ahab. He ought to knowed to do better than that. But when he did, he said, "Does not Ramoth-gilead belong to us?" Now, watch the reason. Ramoth-gilead...
Joshua in setting up the land gave that to Israel. The Philistines come over and took it from them. And now, Ahab said, "Doesn't Ramoth-gilead belong to me?" that lukewarm, borderline believer said, "Don't it belong to us?" And he said, "That's ours."
And Jehoshaphat, in the wrong company, setting in the wrong crowd where there's no faith, no believing in the Word of God, he said, "Why, it looks like." But said, "Oughtn't we to consult the Lord?"
"Oh," Ahab said, "sure. I got four hundred prophets down here." Brought them every one up, well dressed, and fine prophets. Hebrew prophets, I don't mean some idol prophets. They professed to be real religious of the God that they serve: prophets.
