<TITLE>11. Par 80-90</TITLE>L-80 One of our great Pentecostal moves, the other day, they have to take their missionaries before a psychiatrist to find out if his I.Q. is high--high enough to be a missionary, one of our great organizations, see if their I.Q. is high enough. God never had nothing like that. He said, "Wait up there until you're endued with Power from on High." Then you got your I.Q., what it takes to do that. They don't examine them by what Jesus said to test them by. They test them by their own intellectual conceptions, I.Q. for a missionary. God didn't say "give them some intellectual power," but He said, "Ye shall receive Power from on High!" But we're getting away from It.

L-81   Remember, the Roman Catholic church was first the pentecostal church. That's exactly right, A.D. 33. But because that Rickies got into it, weeded its way through there, the celebrity, the first thing you know, at the Nicaea Council, it adopted this plan and they organized. The thing died. The real prophet lived on to his time out. Nearly a thousand years, it went through a dark age. That's what God showed, the condemnation on the whole system at the beginning. That's right.

L-82 Ministers go through seminary, "I got a Ph.D., or an LL.D.," before they can even pastor a church; show a fellowship card. Nonsense!

L-83   The prophet of the Lord walked out of the wilderness, and nobody knowed where he come from or where he went to, but he had THUS SAITH THE LORD! God proved it. He wasn't in none of their organizations. That's God's system. That's right.

L-84 Seminary ministers, what did they do? Worldly-dressed women, wearing shorts, bobbed hair, and man with not enough Spirit about him to condemn it.

L-85 Any man, let his wife do that, needs a good Gospel whipping. That's right. She proves herself dishonorable, and you admit it. Any man would take his wife out on the street, with those little old trousers of a thing on, they walk out here with, so tight the skin on the outside, and walk down the street like that, absolutely a disgrace to humanity. To me, it shows there is a lack of something inside. It shows an emptiness.

L-86   If you want to look pretty, get a little of Acts 2:38, a little James 5:14, mix it all together, little John 3:16, and--and all this, and mix it up together, that'll be cosmetic enough for you.

L-87 Max Factors, I see where there's a hundred million dollars, hundred billion dollars spent every year just on lipstick or something, one of them things; and missionaries on the field, starving; and you say, "We are the church." Why, it makes me ashamed! We go into all this glamour, big things. What's you doing? It shows that you've taken on the spirit of Jezebel, empty!

L-88   I heard a minister the other day, a fine man, I like him as a man, belongs to a certain organization, lives in across the river from us, and he had a radio program. He just come back, he was talking about these here women that's wearing all this here blue stuff, and--and stuff over their face.

L-89 Well, I was scared to death the first one I seen. I was in Los Angeles and I was waiting for Brother Arganbright, a Christian businessman. I seen a woman walk up, I thought, "Poor girl!" I--I'm a missionary, I've seen leprosy and I've seen plaguery. I never seen nothing like that. I was going to walk up and ask her if I could pray for her. Come to find out, here come another one up, the same way. I don't blame you trying to look your best, but really be a human about it. See? That's right!

L-90   This man said they made a prettier world when they made that stuff. To me, it made a bunch of heathens. And, any woman does it, shows there's something lacking in her, an emptiness that ought to be filled up with Christ. And any man will let his wife do such a thing, it shows he's empty too! And any preacher will stand for it in his church, shows he's got an emptiness also. And any organization will stand for it, shows that they're dead. That's right. Back to the Bible!
