<TITLE>27. Par 284-297</TITLE>L-284   I didn't know about you people then. And when I come to you, it was just like putting a glove on a hand, I fit right with you. I love you. I love you. I love my pastor brothers. You think a Presbyterian, Methodist, or Lutheran, would open up their church like this brother has tonight, for us to set here and preach this kind of a message? No, sir, not at all. These are gallant man who believe the Truth. Now line up with the Word with them, see, stay away from the things of the world.

L-285 Sisters, let your hair grow. Put your dresses on, nice and neat. Shame on you. Take that paint off of your face. See? You got more Scripture to wear paint than you have to cut your hair. That's right. Don't do it. Don't do it. The Bible said it's a dishonorable thing for a woman to do it. The hair is her glory. Now you say, "That's a little thing." That's all right, let's get the little things out of the way and then we can talk about big things. Let's get started right.

L-286   Now, brethren. Oh, my! Let me say one thing to the man. Mister, my brother, if you will let your wife do a thing like that, I'm ashamed of you, and claim to be a Spirit-filled man. Shame on you, let your wife go on the street.

L-287 And your dress all sexy and everything like that, and do you know the Bible said, Jesus said, "Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her"?

L-288 You say, "Now wait a minute, my brother, I'm innocent." I believe you are too, my sister, you're innocent in the natural act. But if you present yourself and the sinner looks at you, and you presented yourself like that, who's guilty? You are, for presenting yourself. Then at the day of the Judgment, when that sinner answers for the adultery, who did he commit it with in his heart? You! Why? Because you presented yourself. Now, that's just the Truth.

L-289 Won't you, won't you, sister, please, in Jesus' Name, may I ask you as your brother, straighten up?

L-290 Brother, shame on you for conducting your house like that, straighten up. I--I got better hopes of you as a man. See?

L-291   Pastors who let them people come in, take deacons and everything else and jobs like that, with two or three living wives, and things, aren't you ashamed, minister? Aren't you ashamed of those things? And take them members in there when they're living in adultery, and smoking cigarettes, and doing all, and never even mention it from the platform. Shame on you! I--I--I pray for you, brother.

L-292 God bless you. Thank you for your patience of bearing with me. Now, I wonder...

L-293 The evening Light has come. The evening Light are here, back to the Word.

L-294   Now, with your heads bowed, your hearts bowed, ask yourself this question, "Do I measure up to this Word? Do I?"

L-295 My prayer is, from the platform, "O God, cut everything from me that's not like You. O God, take away from me." We're down here at the end of the road.

L-296 All right, would you be that sincere to raise your hands and say, "God, cut from me everything that's not like You. Make me, Lord, mold me and make me"? The Lord bless you.

L-297 If there's anybody that isn't right, and is a sinner and has drifted in here tonight, and never accepted Christ as Saviour, or a backslider or something, and wants to come back, you're invited to come stand here at the altar. If you believe that God would hear my prayers for the sick, I believe He'd hear me. And you and I together as we place our faith upon the Sacrifice, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and offer prayer, I believe God will hear. You're invited to come and stand for prayer.
