<TITLE>12. Par 43-44</TITLE>L-43 A few weeks ago I was... About eight months ago, or a little more, I saw a vision one night of two fellows, one in one barroom, and one in another, fussing at one another to their congregation that they were talking to. Finally, they met in New York in the middle of a street, dug a hole like, got in there, and one killed the other one. I said, "Somebody's going to get killed." They were nice, tall, young men. About a month after that, them two prize fighters fought the grudge, and one killed the other one.
Setting up in Colorado a few months ago in a--a little cabin, I went and said to my son, my wife, my daughter-in-law, and them: "Last couple of hours something happened. I saw a young lady, a beautiful woman, and she had kind of thick lips, looked like I'd saw her somewhere. And she's--she was trying to get to a doctor, and she died."
And the Spirit that was speaking to me, said, "Now, they will say that she committed suicide, but she died with a heart attack." And said, "It's just a little before four, but you can say it was four o'clock," and the vision left me. I told them, "What did that mean?" I didn't know. "Somebody's fixing to die."
When we come out of the mountains two days later, that movie star (What's that woman's name?), Marilyn Monroe, she was kind of a striptease or... Or you read her story. She was an illegitimate child. Her mother's in the insane institution. Poor little girl probably had a hard way. And she always hungered for something. I wish I could've got to her. I know what she needed. I knew what she needed. Yet she'd joined churches and everything. But see, it was just a ritualistic form. She needed the application of the Blood. See?
Now. I guess there isn't a sex fiend in the country but what knowed her and had her picture. She was supposed the most perfect built woman, as understood, there was in the world. But if that anatomy is so great, then watch... When the life went out of her body, they had to give her a number to lay in a room. And nobody would claim her body. So which is the important part? The soul or the body? See, we got to be sincere in these things. God requires it. It must come.

L-44 Notice. Now, so to reject the Holy Spirit, they accepted the formal side of it, having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof. They repeat all kinds of apostles' creeds, and everything like that, with a lot of Word mixed into it, and a lot that's not Word. And then they... The Word of God, I mean. And then do all these things, and yet, it goes through a formal, ritualistic affair. There's no power to it. It's dead. It's just a hull, like that girl's body. The life was gone out of it, was no good then. Nobody wanted it. The life was gone. See?
It's the life that means something. No matter how much you accumulate in this world, how many churches you belong to, what about that soul of yours? What about that life that's in you? Is it right with God? And it can only be right by accepting that great preparation that God made to bring human beings across that chasm to Himself. That's the Blood of Jesus Christ. No creed will bridge the way; no denomination will do it. No education, no scientist, no nothing else but the Blood of Jesus Christ is the only thing that'll bridge it.
