<TITLE>09. Par -</TITLE>L-13-4 Well now, if the brethren would notice it, I... Many of our brethren, even in our Full Gospel ranks, they do not believe that the Baptists, and Methodists, and the Lutheran, and them have a chance. But I... Now, they may be right, but I don't agree with that. I believe that the age here, of the Lutheran age, and this age here which was called, I believe, the Sardis age, and then the Philadelphian age for the Methodists, and then the Pentecostal, Laodicean age... I believe those are ages, and God in each one of those ages took an elected people. And in that, as Hebrews 11 says that them without us is not made perfect. See? But now, the Church has come from this, coming in a minority all the time, till it's down into the Pentecostal age.

L-13-5 Now, the reason I'm saying this, that you might get an idea on what the sister dreamed. And her dream is certainly comparison to--to what I been teaching.
Notice, now here, now all these things that I Peter the 6th and 7th verse tells you, from--by your faith, that's first. Now, I say that people claim to have these virtues without even being borned again. And I believe I made a rude remark and said it's like a blackbird trying to put peacock feathers in himself and make hisself a peacock; he can't do it. It has to be a natural feather growed from him. The inside of him has to put that feather out.

L-14-2 And always--and I've always been accused of being hard on our sisters about wearing bobbed hair, and manicure all over their face, and stuff. I've always been accused of being hard on our sisters. It--it isn't that I got anything against that. I don't say the woman isn't a good woman, that she's some--a streetwalker or something. That isn't my attitude. But it's this: when she puts so much artificial on the outside, shows there's a lot of artificial on the inside (See?), where ought to be filled up with Christ. Because the outside always expresses what's on the inside. "By their fruits you know them." You see? And where Christ ought to be in there, and to care for the--God, and to care for other things, instead of so much artificial pomp, and--and, you know, green eyelids, and unhuman-looking, and all that kind of stuff... I just don't go for it; and I don't believe the Bible does either. So I--I like to be just what we are.

L-14-3 Notice now, if she hasn't got any fingernails and wants to put some on, if she hasn't got any teeth and needs some, haven't got an arm and you need one, haven't got hair and you need some, you haven't got these things, that's different. But when you pull out your real good teeth, because they're just not as bright as they should be, then you done wrong. If you've got red hair and you want black, and you go down here and color it black, just because... You done wrong. Yeah, I think so. But the main thing... There's no Scripture for that. Only to bob your hair, there's Scripture for that, have plenty of that. So then, we want to insure that that's right.

L-14-4 Now, now, our sister in dreaming, she dreamed that she... Well first, she was disturbed: "What's the use of going on and trying to struggle through life if God requires us to receive the Holy Ghost and we don't have it?"
Now, I don't think... They may be taping this, but if they don't--if they do, it's for the church alone. See? Now, and if some brother would get ahold of this, and you hear my voice, brother, on this, remember, I'm just teaching to my church. You always, before your congregation... Examine the--the tapes, and if you don't want your congregation to hear them, don't let them hear them. But I--I'm just trying to say to this little group here that I--that Brother Neville and I, by the Holy Spirit, is trying to--to pastor and to teach them.
