<TITLE>15. Par 158-167</TITLE>L-158 And he said, "I saw God lifted up," way up above any man here on earth, above a Solomon, or a David, or Uzziah. God was lifted to a place that man cannot come, then he become influenced of another way. He saw God lifted up, high, way up, and His train. And when he saw those mighty Beings, the place was filled with smoke. And he looked, and the pillars of the temple, the posts, begin to shake at Their voice. He never saw that by Uzziah. He saw that a mortal man can fall. No matter how much he's blessed, he can still fall. But he looked at One that can't fall, whose foundations is sure, even the pillars of the temple moved at Their voices.

L-159   Think of it. Two wings, They covered Their faces. Think, even Angels cover Their holy faces. Those Seraphims, they're next to Cherubims. They are same as Cherubims. They're the burners of the sacrifice. And that's making, the--the children, the worshippers way in, assuring them the way. And these Seraphims, who stay in the Presence of God, have to cover Their faces.

L-160 Then we just take the Name of God and use it any way, prophesy in It, when means nothing but some kind of carnal influence and so forth, and say things that never happen, and act like it never pay any attention. If you say something, and honestly, and it didn't happen, repent and tell it, that you were wrong. Then your influence will come back, the man is honest.

L-161   These Angels, Seraphims, never knowed sin or nothing about sin. They just burn the sacrifice, to make a way of the worshipper, the saints. And they have to have Their faces covered. What would that be, up the side of Uzziah? Cover Their holy faces, in the Presence of God, with reverence.

L-162 Now there's no reverence. There seems to be that we can just do anything, in the Name of the Lord, and get by with it. Just as long as we belong to some certain group that's got a good social standing, and they don't take our papers away from us; the presbyters and the bishops, and so forth, don't call our papers, and we still have a good influence amongst the people.

L-163 But what kind of an influence do we have in the Presence of God? Does our prayers return void, or are they answered? "If ye abide in Me, and My Word in you, ask what you will and it shall be done. He that believeth in Me, the works that I do shall he do also. Even more than this shall he do, for I go to the Father."

L-164   Where are we, Pentecostal people? Find ourself on the road map, this morning. Let's not get bypassed. No, sir. There's one road to Heaven, and that's the road of holiness. The righteous walk in it. The unbeliever laughs at it. Depends on what you are.

L-165 Now, the people don't have reverence. And those who try to live right, some of them that ought to be respecting that stand that the man has took, or the woman has took, laugh at them.

L-166 A man, the other day, 'cause a woman had her hair pulled back and made a bun on the back, took Isaiah 5, and said, "Cut that hair off," said, "because It said, 'the round tires.'" Any man that knows no more about the Word of God than that, when the Word of God said it's a disgrace, a shame, a dishonorable thing, for a woman to cut her hair. Said, "Deflate your spare, spare tire, you're going to come to this church," and women laughing at her. Because, there you are. No reverence! Don't know the Word! Don't respect It when It is told them! Ministers see the Word of God and refuse to walk in It.

L-167   Reminds me, coming down, I had one of these here cameras. And it's--it's kind of a new thing, to me. Billy works it, right smart. And it's got one of these here range finders, ever what it is. And I looked through something, I seen three or four objects, and they all looked a whole lot alike. I said, "That can't be so." I looked this way, and I only see one. And I looked this way, and I seen three or four. I got a hold of this little thing and focused it until it come into one.
